Large Language Models for UAVs: Current State and Pathways to the Future by Shumaila Javaid, Hamza Fahim, Bin He, Nasir Saeed

“…Notably, we focus on leveraging LLMs to refine data analysis and decision-making processes, specifically for enhanced spectral sensing and sharing in UAV applications. Furthermore, we investigate how LLM integration expands the scope of existing UAV applications, enabling autonomous data processing, improved decision-making, and faster response times in emergency scenarios like disaster response and network restoration. …”

Local rainfall is more likely than distant thunderstorms to affect movement behaviour in Northern Kenyan elephants. by Tom Mulder, Beth Mortimer, Jelle Ferwerda, Fritz Vollrath

“…Previous research indicates that African savanna elephants change their movements preceding or coincident with local rainfall and it has been suggested that they respond to thunder in remote storms-perhaps reading seismic cues. …”

Comparison of two active warming techniques on body temperature in healthy, anesthetized dogs premedicated with acepromazine or dexmedetomidine: A pilot study. by Jacob P Rastas, Qianqian Zhao, Rebecca A Johnson

“…However, at >T30 minutes, slopes of the temperature change differed between all three warming device groups, despite whether ACE or DEX was administered; temperature decreased least in CONV whereas the NONE had the largest decreases (P < 0.05). At >T30, when warming devices were considered separately, slopes of the temperature change in AVA and NONE did not differ between ACE and DEX (P > 0.050). …”

Yeti claws: Cheliped sexual dimorphism and symmetry in deep-sea yeti crabs (Kiwaidae). by Christopher Nicolai Roterman, Molly McArthur, Cecilia Laverty Baralle, Leigh Marsh, Jon T Copley

“…We address this knowledge deficit by investigating claw sexual dimorphism and symmetry in the hydrothermal-vent endemic 'Hoff crab', Kiwa tyleri. A total of 135 specimens from the East Scotia Ridge were examined, revealing mean asymmetry indices close to zero with respect to propodus length and height, albeit with a significantly larger number of marginally left-dominant individuals with respect to propodus length, possibly indicative of some task specialisation between claws, or a vestigial ancestral trait. …”

Effects of intrathecal administration of sodium nitroprusside and nicardipine on cerebral pial microcirculation, cortical tissue oxygenation, and electrocortical activity in the ea... by Hyoung Youn Lee, Najmiddin Mamadjonov, Kyung Woon Jeung, Yong Hun Jung, Wan Young Heo, Yong Soo Cho, Byung Kook Lee, Tag Heo

“…At 30 min after resuscitation from cardiac arrest, 30 pigs randomly received 4 mg of SNP, 4 mg of nicardipine, or saline placebo via subdural intracranial catheters and were observed for 5 h. Group effect and group-time interaction were assessed using linear mixed-effects models. …”

Dynamics of Charge Transients in High Voltage Silicon and SiC NPN BJT Under High Injection Levels by Mana Hosseinzadehlish, Saeed Jahdi, Konstantinos Floros, Ingo Ludtke, Xibo Yuan

“…The absence of delay in 4H-SiC BJTs is due to the lower minority carrier lifetime and thinner base region, enabling higher DC gain and significantly faster transients. However, the current drop phenomenon is clearly seen in the 4H-SiC BJT in both measurements and TCAD modelling, which unlike the Silicon, is very sensitive to the peak collector current at HLI for a fixed base current due to its thinner base and more susceptance to the Early effect. …”
