Assessment of LiDAR-Based Sensing Technologies in Bird–Drone Collision Scenarios by Paula Seoane, Enrique Aldao, Fernando Veiga-López, Higinio González-Jorge

“…One of the key aspects to consider here is the availability of robust solutions to avoid tactical conflicts between drones and other flying elements, such as other drones or birds. Bird detection is a relatively underexplored area, but due to the large number of birds, their shared airspace with drones, and the fact that they are non-cooperative elements within an air traffic management system, it is of interest to study how their detection can be improved and how collisions with them can be avoided. …”

Urban Air Mobility demand forecasting: modeling evidence from the case study of Milan (Italy) by Pierluigi Coppola, Francesco De Fabiis, Fulvio Silvestri

“…Demand forecasting is based on random utility mode choice models, which include factors related to the individuals’ perception of vertical take-off/landing and low altitude flying over urbanized areas. The use cases of UAM services include airport shuttles, intercity air connections, and “air-taxis”, i.e., UAM services for short-trips within the metropolitan area. …”

Hologenomic data generation and analysis in wild vertebrates by Carlotta Pietroni, Nanna Gaun, Aoife Leonard, Jonas Lauritsen, Garazi Martin‐Bideguren, Iñaki Odriozola, Ostaizka Aizpurua, Antton Alberdi, Raphael Eisenhofer

“…We also report that birds and bats both have substantially lower microbial DNA fractions and a higher degree of sample‐to‐sample variability compared to amphibians, reptiles and non‐flying mammals. Based on these data, we provide suggestions to the field for robustly and efficiently generating hologenomic data from wild vertebrates.…”

The Hamiltonian Structure-Preserving Control and Some Applications to Nonlinear Astrodynamics by Ming Xu, Yan Wei, Shengli Liu

“…This controller is applied to some astrodynamics to achieve some interesting conclusions, including stable lissajous orbits in solar sail’s three-body problem and degenerated two-body problem, quasiperiodic formation flying on a J2-perturbed mean circular orbit, and controlled frozen orbits for a spacecraft with a high area-to-mass ratio.…”

Association Between Sociodemographic Variables, Healthy Habits, and Stress with Risk Scales for Liver Disease Associated with Metabolic Dysfunction by Ángel Arturo López-González, Emilio Martínez-Almoyna Rifá, Hernán Paublini Oliveira, Cristina Martorell Sánchez, Pedro Juan Tárraga López, José Ignacio Ramírez-Manent

“…Materials and Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted on 16,708 Spanish workers to assess how sociodemographic variables (age, gender, and socioeconomic status), healthy habits (smoking, Mediterranean diet adherence, and physical activity), and stress correlate with values from three MAFLD risk scales: fatty liver index (FLI), hepatic steatosis index (HSI), and lipid accumulation product (LAP). …”

Sensory quiescence induces a cell-non-autonomous integrated stress response curbed by condensate formation of the ATF4 and XRP1 effectors by Shashank Shekhar, Charles Tracy, Peter V. Lidsky, Raul Andino, Katherine J. Wert, Helmut Krämer

“…Unlike during canonical ISR, however, the ATF4 and XRP1 transcription factors are enriched in cytosolic granules that are positive for RNA and the stress granule markers Caprin, FMR1, and p62, and are reversible upon restoration of vision for blind flies. Cytosolic restraint of the ATF4 and XRP1 transcription factors dampens expression of their downstream targets including genes of cell death pathways activated during chronic cellular stress and thus constitutes a chronic stress protective response (CSPR). …”
