Experimental Evaluation of Multi- and Single-Drone Systems with 1D LiDAR Sensors for Stockpile Volume Estimation by Ahmad Alsayed, Fatemeh Bana, Farshad Arvin, Mark K. Quinn, Mostafa R. A. Nabawy

“…Three approaches were experimentally investigated: (i) a multi-drone system equipped with static, downward-facing 1D LiDAR sensors combined with an adaptive formation control algorithm; (ii) a single drone with a static, downward-facing 1D LiDAR following a zigzag trajectory; and (iii) a single drone with an actuated 1D LiDAR in an oscillatory fashion to enhance scanning coverage while following a shorter trajectory. The adaptive formation control algorithm, newly developed in this study, synchronises the drones’ waypoint arrivals and facilitates smooth transitions between dynamic formation shapes. …”

Non-linear microglial, inflammatory and oligodendrocyte dynamics across stages of Alzheimer's disease by Aurélien M. Badina, Kelly Ceyzériat, Quentin Amossé, Alexandre Tresh, Laurene Abjean, Léa Guénat, Emilie Vauthey, Stergios Tsartsalis, Philippe Millet, Benjamin B. Tournier

“…In late stages, expression of OL-related genes and myelination pathways increase, with a higher NG2/MBP ratio, coinciding with decreased microglial coverage and peripheral immune markers. These findings indicate that early neuroinflammation may impair OL function, while attenuated immune activity in late AD allows partial OL recovery. …”
