A Drone-Based Approach for Radiometric Mapping of Gamma Radiation by Felipe Mamed, Alessandra Vaz, Ary Machado, Joana Batista, Jonathan Oliveira, Paulo Silveira, Paulo Iack, Paulo Barreto, William Henrique, Wallace Vallory

“…After processing the data collected by the drone, a dose profile was reconstructed, allowing for a satisfactory estimation of the location where the Cesium-137 source was positioned based on the radiation peak. Since specific patterns in the graphs, such as a sudden increase in dose rate in a particular direction, can indicate the presence of a source, we consider that this method can be employed as a useful strategy for the remote detection of radiation sources in various environments, offering a satisfactory approximation of the radiological conditions present in the analyzed environment. …”

Physicochemical Properties and Cellular Responses of Strontium-Doped Gypsum Biomaterials by Amir Pouria, Hadis Bandegani, Milad Pourbaghi-Masouleh, Saeed Hesaraki, Masoud Alizadeh

“…Gypsum was the only phase found in the composition of both pure and gypsum:Sr, meanwhile a shift into lower diffraction angles was observed in the X-ray diffraction patterns of doped specimens. Microstructure of all gypsum specimens consisted of many rod-like small crystals entangled to each other with more elongation and higher thickness in the case of gypsum:Sr. …”

LiveDrive AI: A Pilot Study of a Machine Learning-Powered Diagnostic System for Real-Time, Non-Invasive Detection of Mild Cognitive Impairment by Firas Al-Hindawi, Peter Serhan, Yonas E. Geda, Francis Tsow, Teresa Wu, Erica Forzani

“…Using the LiveDrive AI system, equipped with multimodal sensing (MMS) technology and a driving performance assessment strategy, the proposed work analyzes the predictive capacity of driving patterns in indicating cognitive decline. Machine learning models, trained on an expert-annotated in-house dataset, were employed to detect MCI status from driving performance. …”

Manatee cognition and behavior: a neurobiological perspective on an unusual constellation of senses and a unique brain by Peter F. Cook, Peter F. Cook, Peter F. Cook, Gordon B. Bauer, Gordon B. Bauer, Roger L. Reep

“…Here we review the evidence on manatee peripheral and central nervous function and present novel preliminary post-mortem diffusion MRI findings on whole-brain patterns of connectivity. Compared to another marine mammal, the California sea lion, manatee brains show apparently reduced corticocortical complexity. …”
