Spin-lattice & spin-spin relaxation, signal splitting & signal multiplicity concepts briefly explained relevant to Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy.
A dimensionless quantity described as a fundamental physical constant characterizing the coupling strength of the electromagnetic interaction. Introduced by Sommerfeld in 1916 to describe the spacing of splitting of spectral lines in multi-electron atoms, it is formed from four physical constants: electric charge, speed of light in vacuo, Planck's constant and electric permittivity of free space.
The inverse fine structure constant (=137.035999...) represents the spin precession whirl no. of the electron. The electron exhibits a slight precession due to an imbalance of electrostatic and magnetostatic energy levels. Electric charge is a result of this spin precession and represents a loop closure failure (torsion defect) similar to topological charge.
Rest mass results from quantum wave interference due to precession. Hence, electric charge, rest mass and the fine structure constant are interrelated and directly calculable.

La región del infrarrojo (IR) del espectro abarca la radiación con números de ondas comprendidos entre 12.800 y los 10 cm-1, que corresponde a longitudes de onda de 0,78, 1.000 μm. Tanto desde el punto de vista de las aplicaciones como de la instrumentación, es conveniente dividir el espectro IR en tres regiones denominadas infrarrojo cercano, medio y lejano. Las técnicas de las aplicaciones de los métodos basados en cada una de estas regiones difieren considerablemente.
On The Origin of Electromagnetic Waves from Lightning DischargesIOSR Journals
Interaction of up going ion beam forming current flow in the pre-ionized stepped leader plasma and
the way, how the kinetic energy of the beam particles is converted into electromagnetic energy have been
discussed. The ion beam interaction with the plasma wave modes in the stepped leader channel produces
perturbations in the return stroke current flow and changes its uniformity and becomes non-uniform. In the
present study, the return current is taken to be deeply modulated at a given modulation frequency, and
considered that it behaves like an antenna for electromagnetic radiation. In this paper the total amount of
energy associated with return stroke is given to electromagnetic waves is estimated.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

UHF Emission due to Bremsstrahlung from Lightning Return
Stroke
Mahendra Singh
Department of Physics, Jagdam College, Chapra 841301, India
Abstract: Assuming lightning discharge as plasma it is argued that the high electric field of return stroke
produces energetic electrons (≥ 100 keV) and colliding energetic particles give rise to Bremsstrahlung which is
a possible source of UHF emissions. The computed power of UHF wave for time and frequency responses is
reported. In this theoretical study it is shown that a measurable amount of Bremsstrahlung power in UHF or
microwave regions is generated by return stroke.
Keywords: Bremsstrahlung X-ray, Collision frequency, Lightning return stroke, Stepped leader, Plasma,
Thunderstorm
I. Introduction
Lightning channels radiate electromagnetic energy covers a wide frequency range extending from a
few hertz in the ELF range to beyond the visible region. Rai et al. [1] suggested that Bremsstrahlung might be
the operating mechanism for radiation in the UHF or microwave region. Bremsstrahlung is a possible source of
UHF or microwave emissions from lightning discharges Rai [2]. The signal strength is high in frequency bands
pertaining to VLF (3 – 30 kHz) and ELF (3 Hz – 3k Hz). This is the cause that researchers have made
measurements for these frequency bands. There are relatively few studies on the radiated power in UHF or
micro wave regions except the few workers [3 – 7].
Wilson [8] suggested that the strong electric field of thunderclouds could produce electrons with
energies up to several MeV. Number of investigators [9-11] attempted to test his suggestion and obtained
positive results that energetic electrons are being produced by high electric fields of thunderclouds. Several
observational reports [11-13] show that the large electric fields which occur in thunderclouds along with
lightning discharges are able to produce ≥ 100 keV electrons.
D’Angelo [14] has argued that electron energization takes place at return stroke wavefronts in a
lightning event. When vertical channel of excessive electrons, called a stepped leader, comes near the ground at
a distance of 20 to 70 m above it, a very large electric field of value 107
Vm-1
[15] near the ground produces a
positively charged return stroke propagating towards the clouds and the leader is effectively connected to the
ground potential. The return stroke wavefront carries ground potential upwards, along the partially ionized
stepped leader. Since electric field in the return stroke ionizing front is directed upwards, it accelerates electrons
downwards. The radius of return stroke channel is of the order of centimeter, while the electron density that the
wave front leaves behind the channel is ~ 2 x 1023 m-3 [16].
Rai [1] has argued that a Bremsstrahlung emission from fully ionized channel of return stroke is
negligible. The purpose of this study is to test whether measurable amounts of power in UHF or microwave
regions is emitted from the lightning return stroke or not.
In the present study it is shown that the variation of the radiated power with frequency has a Gaussian shape
with a maximum value at a certain frequency. Further, it is shown that the lightning return stroke emits an
appreciable amount of Bremsstrahlung power in UHF or microwave region.
II. Total Radiation From Thunderstorm
Bremsstrahlung is a radiation when velocity of particles changes due to coulomb interaction with
particles of the neighborhood. When electrons are distributed uniformly along every direction, they approach the
heavy ions from all directions with all possible speeds. This radiation is isotropic, and the polarization is
random. Bremmstrahlung in return stroke plasma is the radiation from electrons under the influence of electric
field of the nearly positive charges and due to encounters between electrons and atoms. The former is dominant
in highly ionized plasmas like return stroke and later in the partially ionized stepped leader. The minimum
distance of impact is the de Broglie wavelength of the particles.

Fig. 1
For far field radiation, the largest length of the source volume is small compared to its distances from
the observation point in the radiation zone. If the origin O is taken within the source volume, then OP ≈ OQ
[Fig.1] and Poynting flux of energy S radiated from return stroke is written as
S = √

E2 𝐧 (1)
Where, ϵ0 (=8.85x10−12
Fm−1
) and μ0 are permittivity and permeability of the free space, respectively, 𝒏 is a
unit vector in the direction of observation, and E is the electric field.
In the far zone, the Poynting energy flows out radially and the field has the character of spherical
waves spreading out radially from the accelerated electron.
Classically, an accelerated electron with acceleration f radiates energy. Thus, the total radiation passing through
surface area A of a sphere of radius R is
P = SdA =

Lightning return stroke is collision dominant plasma. The non relativistic velocity of the energetic electrons in
the partially ionized plasma will change according to

From (2) and (3), we have

Where, e (=1.6 x 10−19
C), ν is the effective collision frequency within return stroke plasma and m
(=9.1 x 10−31
kg) is the mass of electron.
The magnitude of the power of Bremsstrahlung is controlled by the number of electrons accelerated
along the return stroke channel and the collision frequency of energetic particles.
The number of electrons, ne accelerated along the return stroke channel of infinitesimally small length dx, is
ne = πr2Ne dx (5)
Where, r is the radius of return stroke, 𝑁𝑒 is the number density of electron, x = V

return stroke.
The return stroke velocity model [17] is written as
V = V0 ( 𝑒−a𝑡

) (6)
Srivastava [15] obtained the following values of V0, a and b
V0 = 3.0x108 ms-1, a = 6.0x104 s-1, b = 7.0x105 s-1

IV. Results and Discussions
Lightning return stroke is a channel of fully ionized plasma, and Bremsstrahlung emission takes place
in this plasma due to Coulomb field interaction of electron in its hyperbolic or parabolic orbit around the ion or
atom. Electron velocity in the partially ionized channel is non relativistic [2].
With the help of the accepted values for certain parameters associated with return stroke, we compute
the radiated power due to the Bremsstrahlung. Thus for the study of the time and frequency responses of power
of the Bremsstrahlung emitted from lightning return stroke, the following values [12] have been taken for the
parameters used in Eq.(9)
𝑁𝑒 = 1025
m−3
r = 10−2
m υ = 6.4 x 1010
s−1
The magnitude of the electric field is taken as 5 x 105
Vm-1
close to the expected break down field in the clouds.
Fig.2 Variation radiated power with time
Variation of the power emitted due to Bremsstrahlung with time is depicted in Fig.2. It is obvious from
the figure that the power has the shape as the sign of inclined integration. The radiated power remains almost
zero up to 8 x 10−7
s and thereafter it rises linearly with time. Rai [2] has argued that fully ionized media like
return strokes are completely opaque to the UHF radiations. Thus the entire radiation is absorbed within the
return channel and one observes no radiation coming out. In contrary to this report it is found that there is an
appreciable amount of radiation coming out from return stroke. This is due to increase in number of electrons to
be energized to produce Bremsstrahlung. After 10−4
s, when channel volume gets increased, the contribution to
the Bremsstrahlung power comes out to be its saturation value of 1.9 x 106
W.
The spectral characteristics of the radiated power of Bremsstrahlung is computed by using Eq.(10) and
its variation with frequency is shown in Fig. 3.The variation of power with frequency has a Gaussian shape with
a peak value 7.13 x 10-5
WHz-1
at frequency 2.5 x 1010
Hz. It is obvious from this figure that a measurable
amount of Bremsstrahlung power in UHF or microwave regions is produced by lightning return stroke.

V. Conclusions
The large electrostatic fields due to charge imbalance during lightning process are able to produce
energetic electrons with energies up to ≥ 100 keV. Appreciable amounts of Bremsstrahlung power in
UHF regions are generated by these electrons.
