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. …”

Spatiotemporal Distribution and Evolution of Global World Cultural Heritage, 1972–2024 by Yangyang Lu, Qingwen Han, Zheng Zhang, Zhong Sun, Jian Dai

“…There is a trend of positive east–west distribution on the whole. (3) Road density, per capita GDP, and other factors are the dominant factors affecting the spatial pattern of world cultural heritage, and the interaction between the factors shows a nonlinear enhancement or two-factor enhancement trend. (4) There are spatial differences in the mechanisms of the factors, with river density contributing positively, aspect rate and forest cover contributing negatively, population density, per capita GDP, and road density mainly contributing positively to the spatial distribution of the WCH, annual precipitation mainly contributing negatively, and the positive and negative effects of altitude and GDP being comparable. …”
