Abstract:

This article deals with thunder magic during the time of emperor Sung Hui-tsung (r.1100-1126), focusing on theoretical expositions (Discourse on the Thunders) by Wang Wen-ch'ing (1093-1153). Thunder magic is a general term that summarises a large array of exorcist practices in Heavenly Masters Taoism (Cheng-i tao). Court Taoists like Wang Wen-ch'ing sublimated with literary means such practices that in a stunning way resembled shaman methods that were designed to avert disasters like droughts. Wang Wen-ch'ing used the Book of Changes and some astronomical notions in order to formulate his Discourse on the Thunders, describing the workings of the cosmos that set the frame for ritual interferences in terms of Taoist thunder magic. The article shows the actual application of these theoretical notions in religion. The author translates and interprets relevant texts, which all are taken from the canonical collection Tao-fa hui-yüan. These texts show the way Wang Wen-ch'ing identifies the cosmos with divine forces that can be addressed and administered by thunder rituals. Taoist priests even today know and use such ritual methods, which prove thunder magic to be a living religious tradition.

Abstract:

Humankind has been exposed to climate extremes from the very beginning of its existence. Today, prevention and mitigation of natural catastrophes have become a priority for International Union and World Meteorological Organization. Atmospheric electrical discharges and thunders represent an event characteristic of our part of the world in the warm half of a year. This climate event pose a danger to human life and material goods, so this work discusses approximate number of days with thunder and the absolutely highest number of days with thunder in Serbia in the period from 1995 to 2005.

Abstract:

In both the Gospel of Mark and The Thunder: Perfect Mind, paradoxically powerful voices sound through broken bodies thrown into contact with other broken bodies and social outcasts. While Mark brings a (semi-)divine man into contact with the suffering, sick, and hungry multitudes as he journeys through Galilee and Judea on his way to eventual death at the hands of Roman authorities, Thunder’s (semi-)divine speaker contains these multitudes, inhabiting or being inhabited by them, speaking as many, Legion-like, with no particular narrative climax. Through gender dynamics that express and instigate feelings of vulnerability and humiliation, as well as claims to triumph and divine association, Mark’s Jesus and Thunder’s speaker exemplify and confound social, gendered inflections of vulnerability, virility, and divinity. As texts composed in the midst of cultural upheaval and anticolonial anguish, Mark and Thunder function as trauma narratives that present pained and creative responses to violence and oppression. Following Ann Cvetkovich’s work on public feelings and affective archives, I treat Mark and Thunder as archives of feeling that enable or mark the vital traces of new practices and publics and gesture toward counterpublic responses to trauma.

Abstract:

PurposeThis paper aims to examine how stealing thunder, apology and compensation influence customer loyalty in a service failure context, and how trust mediates these relationships.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopted a scenario-based between-group experimental design involving 300 customers.FindingsThe results indicated that stealing thunder, apology and compensation have a joint effect on customer loyalty. Specifically, this study found a significant positive impact of stealing thunder on loyalty; a two-way interaction effect of compensation and stealing thunder on loyalty; and a three-way interaction effect on loyalty. Additionally, trust mediated the relationship between service recovery attributes (stealing thunder, apology and compensation) and customer loyalty.Originality/valueThis study introduces a new service recovery method called Stealing Thunder, which is commonly used in the fields of law and communication and is the first to assess stealing thunder as a proactive/preemptive strategy to handle service failures and its impact on customer loyalty. The study found that when stealing thunder was present, compensation had no influence on customer loyalty. Moreover, when stealing thunder was present, compensation had no impact on loyalty when apology was not present. However, compensation had a significant effect on loyalty when stealing thunder and apology were not present. This study finds the value of including proactive/preemptive strategies (stealing thunder) along with regular service recovery strategies (e.g. apology and compensation) in the service recovery process. Results show that service recoveries that include stealing thunder help service failure recovery significantly by increasing customer’s trust.

Abstract:

The Polish appellative grom m. ‘thunderclap’ (< Proto-Slavic *gromъ m. ‘thunder, thunderclap, roar of a thunder’) should be associated with Greek βρόμος m. ‘any loud noise; crackling of fi re; roar of a thunder; roaring of a storm; rage, fury’. Both these nouns derive from the Proto-Indo-European archetype *gu̯ rómos m. ‘loud noise; thunder, thunderclap, roar of a thunder’ (originally nomen actionis with the meaning ‘roaring; thundering’, derived from the root *gu̯ rem- ‘to roar, to thunder’, cf. Gk. βρέμω ‘to roar; to clash, ring (of arms); to shout, rage (of men)’, pol. grzmieć ‘to thunder’). The comparison of PSl. *gromъ with Gk. χρόμος m. ‘neighing or whinnying (of horse)’ is semantically doubtful.

Abstract:

Thunder recognition is of great interest in lightning detection and physics and is widely used in short-range lightning location. However, due to the complexity of thunder, any single filtering method that is used in traditional speech noise reduction technology cannot identify well thunder from complicated background noise. In this study, the impact of four different filters on thunder recognition is compared, including low-pass filtering, least-mean-square adaptive filtering, spectral subtraction filtering, and Wiener filtering. The original acoustic signal and that filtered using different techniques are applied to a convolutional neural network, in which the thunder and background noise are classified. The results indicate that a combination of spectral subtraction and a low-pass filter performs the best in thunder recognition. The signal-to-noise ratio can be significantly improved, and the accuracy of thunder recognition (93.18%) can be improved by 3.8–18.6% after the acoustic signal is filtered using the combined filtering method. In addition, after filtering, the endpoints of a thunder signal can be better identified using the frequency domain sub-band variance algorithm.

Abstract:

Abstract Lightning data are often used to measure the location and intensity of thunderstorms. This study presents 5 years of data from the Earth Networks Global Lightning Detection Network (ENGLN) in the form of thunder hours. A thunder hour is defined as an hour during which thunder can be heard from a given location, and thunder hours can be calculated for the entire globe. Thunder hours are an intuitive measure of thunderstorm frequency where the 1-h interval corresponds to the life-span of most thunderstorms, and the hourly temporal resolution of the data also represents long-lived systems well. Flash-density-observing systems are incredibly useful, but they have some drawbacks that limit how they can be used to quantify global thunderstorm activity on a climatological scale: flash density distributions derived from satellite observations must sacrifice a great deal of their spatial resolution in order to capture the diurnal convective cycle, and the detection efficiencies of ground-based lightning detection systems are not uniform in space or constant in time. Examining convective patterns in the context of thunder hours lends insight into thunderstorm activity without being heavily influenced by network performance, making thunder hours particularly useful for studying thunderstorm climatology. The ENGLN thunder hour dataset offers powerful utility to climatological studies involving lightning and thunderstorms. This study first shows that the ENGLN thunder hours dataset is very consistent with past measurements of global thunderstorm activity and the global electric circuit using only 5 years of data. Then, this study showcases thunder anomaly fields, designed to be analogous to temperature anomalies, which can be used to diagnose changes in thunderstorm frequency relative to the long-term mean in both time and space.

Abstract:

This paper addresses the challenges of taxing the digital economy and offers potential solutions towards aligning the digital economy by redefining the tax rules governing traditional businesses. The methodology employed is purely descriptive and explanatory highlighting specific countries and their approach to taxing the digital economy. The literature addressed in the paper focuses on recent government responses in highlighting the problem with digital taxation and identifying the key areas requiring policy recommendations, which the paper then offers to provide. Although several academic works have addressed the challenges of taxing the digital economy, there has been little systematic description on what policy recommendations ought to be made that would provide an effective template for developing African countries to rely on in enacting their own laws. This paper amends this omission.

Abstract:

Abstract Several species of Leucophyllum are widely used in Texas and the southwestern United States (Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico) for amenity plantings. These taxa are among the most ornamental of all native Texas plants (8). Leucophyllum candidum I. M. Johnst. (2, 7) grows on arid sites in northern Mexico and in southern Brewster Co., Texas, and is usually found on caliche, gravelly hillsides (11). The low requirements for nutrients, water, pest control, and general maintenance make the use of ‘Thunder Cloud’ a pragmatic choice for water and energy conservation in the arid to semi-arid southwest (12).

Abstract:

Hi-C data provide population averaged estimates of three-dimensional chromatin contacts across cell types and states in bulk samples. Effective analysis of Hi-C data entails controlling for the potential confounding factor of differential cell type proportions across heterogeneous bulk samples. We propose a novel unsupervised deconvolution method for inferring cell type composition from bulk Hi-C data, the Two-step Hi-c UNsupervised DEconvolution appRoach (THUNDER). We conducted extensive simulations to test THUNDER based on combining two published single-cell Hi-C (scHi-C) datasets. THUNDER more accurately estimates the underlying cell type proportions compared to reference-free methods (e.g., TOAST, and NMF) and is more robust than reference-dependent methods (e.g. MuSiC). We further demonstrate the practical utility of THUNDER to estimate cell type proportions and identify cell-type-specific interactions in Hi-C data from adult human cortex tissue samples. THUNDER will be a useful tool in adjusting for varying cell type composition in population samples, facilitating valid and more powerful downstream analysis such as differential chromatin organization studies. Additionally, THUNDER estimated contact profiles provide a useful exploratory framework to investigate cell-type-specificity of the chromatin interactome while experimental data is still rare.

Abstract:

This article explores the origin of the Thunder God image and its iconographical features that appear in the <i>Exempla of Filial Sons in the Illustrated Guide to the Three Bonds</i> (Filial Sons, hereafter), published during the reign of King Sejong (r. 1418-1450), and <i>An Illustrated Guide to the Five Moral Imperatives</i> (<i>Five Moral Imperatives</i>, hereafter), compiled during the reign of King Chǒngjo (r. 1776-1800). As attested by the textual descriptions in the <i>Shanhai jing</i> and the <i>Lunheng</i> and the visual depictions in the pictorial stones from the Wu Family Shrine and the mural paintings in the Mogao Caves of Dunhuang, the Chinese iconography of Thunder God primarily takes on the form of a muscular man, sometimes added with beast-headed or winged variations, striking a series of drum connected together. Drawing on Buddhist paintings of the Koryŏ, the <i>Filial Sons</i> of the Chosŏn shows Thunder God as a beast-headed man with four sticks held in both hands and feet surrounded by a series of drum attached together. The Thunder God image in the <i>Five Moral Imperatives</i> continues to follow the iconographical convention adopted in the <i>Filial Sons</i> in the sense that it symbolizes thunder and lightning. However, it takes on a bird form as a schematization of the image of a bird-headed man with wings, which was widely adopted by the late Chosŏn painting. The earliest known case of depicting Thunder God as a bird-headed man with wings appears in the <i>Moon Reflection and the Biography of the Buddha</i> (<i>Wŏrinsŏkpo</i>). This particular iconography of Thunder God seems to have been inspired by the iconography of the Buddhist guardian Garuḍa and that of the Daoist Thunder Marshal “Heavenly Lord Deng, the Governor of Thunder,” depicted in the Daoist scripture Yushu jing, reflecting the transition from the form of a beast-headed man to a bird-headed man with wings. The latter form became the dominant iconography of Thunder God in the late Chosŏn period. It frequently appeared in the Eight Scenes of the Buddha’s Life or the Sweet Dew Painting. Yun Tu-sŏ (1668-1715) also adopted that iconography since it conformed to the depiction of Thunder God in the illustrations of books imported from Ming and Qing China.

Abstract:

The current study examined the effect of stereotypes and stolen thunder on impressions of a person who committed a crime. One hundred twenty undergraduate students from a small private college in rural western Pennsylvania participated in an impression formation task. Participants were given either a 2 digit or a 16 digit number to memorize, followed by a short vignette featuring an African American man whose traits were either consistent or inconsistent with current stereotypes. It was either revealed by the narrator (thunder) or the man (stolen thunder) that he had been convicted of assault. Participants also completed the Need for Cognition scale. A two-way interaction between stereotype consistency and thunder condition emerged. Mainly, when the man was stereotype inconsistent, participants found him to be less guilty than when he was stereotype consistent if he did not reveal the information himself. Future research should focus on the interaction between stolen thunder and stereotype information.

Abstract:

The treatment of thunder and lightning in traditional Chinese writings demonstrates that many modern intellectuals have exaggerated the Neo-Confucian tendencies toward rational explanations and careful classification. The Chinese literati from traditional through modern times accepted as a self-evident fact the notion that thunder rather than lightning was the destructive force in thunderstorms. Moreover, captivated by popular beliefs that linked thunder with divine powers (Hammond 1992), few Chinese scholars were prepared to take the truly modern step of suggesting that thunder and lightning might be examples of natural forces acting randomly. This misunderstanding was compounded by the literati's indifference toward empirical investigation, which meant that they were unable to question the mistaken assumptions underlying this belief.

Abstract:

Belief in the Thunder God has been important in China since ancient times. During the Tang Dynasty (618–906), the Thunder God was personified and incorporated into official rituals. Due to the increasing presence of Tantric Buddhism in China during the Tang Dynasty, in Daoism (particularly the Divine Empyrean lineage 神霄派), several Thunder Gods formed a military organization, among which Deng Bowen (鄧伯溫) was considered as a marshal who largely preserved the characteristics of the Thunder God from the Tang Dynasty, featuring traits of a half-human and half-bird. This study focuses on interreligious influences and aims to elucidate the logic that informs the evolution of the Chinese Thunder God’s image through Deng Bowen’s case. Through the analyses of iconography and text analysis, this study discusses how Deng’s image was blended with the image of the Hindu deity Garuda (迦樓羅), which was introduced to China during the Tang Dynasty through Tantric Buddhism. This study will also explore how Deng’s image evolved from before the Tang Dynasty to the period after the Song Dynasty and will indicate that the Tang Dynasty was a significant period for the development of Thunder God worship as well as its iconography.

Abstract:

This article discusses Buddhist apologetics in Tibet by examining the formation, revision, and reception of the most renowned literary apologia ever written in defense of the Old School of Tibetan Buddhism: Sokdokpa Lodrö Gyeltsen’s early 17th-century magnum opus the Thunder of Definitive Meaning. It reconstructs in broad strokes the history of the Thunder’s reception from the early 17th century to the present and relates this to details in different versions of the Thunder and its addendum to shed light on the process by which this work was composed and edited. By considering this work’s peculiar context of production and history of reception alongside passages it presents revealing how it was conceived and revised, this analysis aims to prepare the ground for its study and translation. In so doing, this discussion attempts to show how a broadly historical approach can work in tandem with a fine-grained philological approach to yield fresh insights into the production and reception of Buddhist literary works that have important ramifications for their understanding and translation.

Abstract:

Pre-stressed piezoelectric unimorphs show enhanced actuation displacements and high efficiency of energy harvesting compared with conventional unimorphs. A method to increase the amount of stored energy by injecting elastic energy to energy harvesting system consisting of the THUNDER device is described in this paper. A stretching spring is mounted on the two tabs of THUNDER device in order to inject energy to the system. The mechanical stress applied on THUNDER device results in an increase in the initial stored mechanical and elastic energy, which contribute to the improved response of the modified device. In experiment, two different springs were added on the THUNDER device: one's initial length is 17mm with k=45N/m and another is 33mm with k=145N/m. For the THUNDER device with a spring of k=145N/m and a proof mass of 8.2g, the maximum open circuit VRMS was 29.4V, and output power of 4.53mW was obtained by a load resistor of 90 kΩ at vibration frequency of 51Hz. Compared with standard device, the energy density or the output power at resonance frequency increased by 74.4%. The displacement performance of the modified devices was larger than that of the standard device. Through measurements and analysis, after a stretching spring was attached to the THUNDER device, dielectric constant did not change obviously, while d31 increased a lot. We can conclude that the improvement of energy harvesting is mainly due to the increase of d31 and stress distribution in the THUNDER device. Furthermore, the use of an initial energy injection mechanism based on a nonlinear approach can artificially enhance the conversion abilities of piezoelectric materials.

Abstract:

The most outstanding monuments of ancient Armenia are the huge stone steles vishaps (“dragons”), the first samples of which date back to the beginning of the Middle Bronze Age (14th c. BC). A detailed analysis shows that the vishaps were attributes of the cult of the Indo-European thunder god, and before the Iranian word višap was borrowed, they were called by an Indo-European name of the mythological Serpent (geɫ < *wel-), the adversary of the god. Echoes of this Indo-European myth are also found in other archaeological artifacts of pre-Urartian Armenia. The most interesting of them, the so-called axe-bull, a bronze object with something resembling both a bull’s head and an axe in the center, surrounded by two or three open or closed concentric circles. According to L. Abrahamyan, this composition can be best explained by the Greek mythologeme “Minotaur in the Labyrinth.” The Indo-European thunder god represented the military function and thus embodied the image of an archaic warrior. His weapon was a hammer or an axe, and his symbol was a bull. The name of the Hurrian-Urartian thunder god (Hurr. Teššub, Urart. Teišeba /= Theišewa/) has no acceptable etymology in these languages. Its attributes, symbol, and myths (axe, bull, victory over a stone monster) resemble the image of the Indo-European thunderer. The article proposes an Armenian etymology for this theonym from the Indo-European *tek’s- + *h1ep- ‘axe holder.’ His image, Grecized as Theseus, was borrowed by the Greeks (apparently, through the Cilician Achaeans of the end of the 2nd millennium BC) becoming one of the key figures of the Cretan cycle.

Abstract:

Knowledge of the past is always partial and shallow. The glottological research exposed in this article is an attempt to dust off the forgotten past and how languages evolved throughout the time. Any civilization idolizes the planets, especially the moon. On this occasion, Earth’s satellite name in the Greek language bears – at the end – a substrata word. Further, the «fire» concept of the Daghestani languages sparkled in the Aegean Sea. The article includes all the aspects, from the «fire» as a word root to the spatial-chronological application in a cross linguistic-cultural perspective, nevertheless, the ritual vision of the fire is also included.

Abstract:

Abstract The crises of 2020, this essay argues, demonstrated anew both the dangers and the indispensability of state power. Yet Americanist critics often display the same antistatism that characterized the nation's canonical literature as well as those who championed it in the mid-twentieth century. For an alternative, this essay turns to the work of Lora Romero, a critic who linked those canonical works to political criticism inspired by Michel Foucault. The libertarianism of both, she argued, made it impossible for critics to conceive that “resistance” and “entanglement in power relations” might go hand in hand. The Foucauldian critique of biopolitics is here shown to be inseparable from a skepticism toward an often feminized welfare state linking France’s Second Left to figures in the US like Christopher Lasch. Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s argument against Foucauldian “critique” is then shown to offer a more recent, albeit equally overlooked, resource for taking the necessity of institutionality seriously. Without such correctives, American Studies Association calls for papers can inadvertently echo the “romantic” rhetoric of books like Huckleberry Finn, in which an absolutized freedom and care for all will simply coexist harmoniously, rather than representing two conflicting strands of the modern polis requiring constant negotiation. In our instinctive antistatism and the conception of freedom it entails, we may share more in common than we recognize with the "American ideology" that . . . has formed the object of our ongoing critique.
