Sources and Radiations of the Fermi Bubbles by Vladimir A. Dogiel, Chung-Ming Ko

“…A decade or so ago, a phenomenological model of the FBs was suggested as a result of routine star disruptions by the supermassive black hole in the GC which might provide enough energy for large-scale structures, like the FBs. In 2020, analytical and numerical models of the FBs as a process of routine tidal disruption of stars near the GC were developed; these disruption events can provide enough cumulative energy to form and maintain large-scale structures like the FBs. …”

Recent geodynamics, active faults and earthquake focal mechanisms of the zone of pseudosubduction interaction between the Northern and Southern Caucasus microplates in the southern... by T. N. Kangarli, F. A. Kadirov, G. J. Yetirmishli, F. A. Aliyev, S. E. Kazimova, А. M. Aliyev, R. T. Safarov, U. G. Vahabov

“…During the continental stage of Alpine tectogenesis (starting from the end of Miocene), intensive lateral compression process was caused by intrusion of the frontal wedge of the Arabian indenter into the buffer structures of the southern frame of Eurasia. This is evidenced by the GPS monitoring data on modern geodynamic activity, which demonstrates the Southern Caucasus block’s intensive (up to 29 mm/year) intrusion in the northern rhumbs as compared to the relative stability of the Northern Caucasus microplate (0–6 mm/year). …”

Algorithm for Cloud Particle Phase Identification Based on Bayesian Random Forest Method by Fu Tao, Yang Zhipeng, Tao Fa, Hu Shuzhen, Lu Yuxiang, Fu Changqing

“…Millimeter-wave cloud radar is widely used for identifying phase states of cloud particles due to its ability to detect internal cloud structures and microphysical characteristics. However, the cloud radar detects composite information about multiphase particles and lacks temperature data within cloud layers, leading to significant aliasing of phase state characteristics of cloud particles. …”
