Evaluating UAV LiDAR and Field Spectroscopy for Estimating Residual Dry Matter Across Conservation Grazing Lands by Bruce Markman, H. Scott Butterfield, Janet Franklin, Lloyd Coulter, Moses Katkowski, Daniel Sousa

“…The existing approaches may be improved through the use of spectroscopic (hyperspectral) sensors, capable of capturing the cellulose and lignin present in dry grass, as well as Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-mounted Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors, capable of capturing centimeter-scale 3D vegetation structures. Here, we evaluate the relationships between the RDM and spectral and LiDAR data across the Jack and Laura Dangermond Preserve (Santa Barbara County, CA, USA), which uses grazing and prescribed fire for rangeland management. …”

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. …”
