Understanding lightning leaders [PDF]
a lightning flash is defined by the initiation and multiple development of leaders. But lightning leaders are still poorly understood. Since most of my atmospheric electricity has been focused on lightning that means that it has been devoted to ...

Bolide Light Curve Systematics from 75 Recovered Meteorites
Abstract How does the energy deposition profile (light curve), deceleration, and penetration depth in Earth's atmosphere depend on asteroid composition and meteorite type? Here, we present the light curve and velocity profile of 75 bolides from camera‐documented meteorite falls.

Humans seek to predict, explain, and control their environments. Generalizations—like those expressed by “children like candy” and “cigarettes cause cancer”—provide one resource to facilitate these tasks. We develop a proposal tying the acceptability judgments of generics to the psychological functions of generalizations.

ABSTRACT Laws play some role in explanations: at the very least, they somehow connect what is explained, or the explanandum, to what explains, or the explanans. Thus, thermodynamical laws connect the match's being struck and its lightning, so that the former causes the latter; and laws about set formation connect Socrates' existence with {Socrates}'s ...

This study develops a dynamic surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (D‐SERS) platform integrating multiscale nanoparticle geometry, quantum dot coupling, surface‐energy programming, and a multilayer perceptron model for AI‐assisted classification. It enables ultrahigh sensitivity, noninvasive detection, and specific Helicobacter pylori identification.

Lightning interaction with the ionosphere
Lightning discharges, including cloud-to-ground (CG) and intracloud (IC) lightning, are known to emit electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) in a wide frequency band ranging from few Hz up to hundreds MHz [1]. During the breakdown and ionization processes (mostly

A digitalised Aids‐to‐Navigation monitoring system (ARMS) was deployed across 478 installations in the Strait of Malacca and Malaysian waters, integrating multi‐sensor edge validation, hybrid AIS/VHF/cellular communication, and a centralised platform. It achieved 98.3% availability and cut fault‐detection time from weeks to just 8.4 min.
