Article Abstract
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) have revolutionized the aircraft industry in this decade. UAVs are now capable of carrying out remote sensing, remote monitoring, courier delivery, and a lot more. A lot of research is happening on making UAVs more robust using energy harvesting techniques to have a better battery lifetime, network performance and to secure against attackers. UAV networks are many times used for unmanned missions. There have been many attacks on civilian, military, and industrial targets that were carried out using remotely controlled or automated UAVs. This continued misuse has led to research in preventing unauthorized UAVs from causing damage to life and property. In this paper, we present a literature review of UAVs, UAV attacks, and their prevention using anti-UAV techniques. We first discuss the different types of UAVs, the regulatory laws for UAV activities, their use cases, recreational, and military UAV incidents. After understanding their operation, various techniques for monitoring and preventing UAV attacks are described along with case studies.

Small glaciers situated in high mountainous areas are experiencing notable declines, characterized by unprecedented rates of ice loss in recent years. This study investigates the recent changes in surface elevation and mass loss occurring between 2010 and 2023 within the Alamkouh Glacier over three subperiods, one of the biggest glaciers in Iran and the Middle East. These assessments are derived from a combination of high-resolution LiDAR data in 2010 (with a spatial resolution of 20 cm) and multi-temporal surveys conducted using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in 2018, 2020, and 2023 (with spatial resolutions varied from 10 to 20 cm).

Despite significant advancements in aerogels science, the fabrication of high-performance aerogels with their plastic processability remains unexplored owing to their inherent trade-off between skeletal rigidity and transformable processability. Herein, a universal solubility-pKa coupling-effect to engineer high-performance thermoplastic nylon aerogel family with excellent thermomechanical processing performance is proposed. By modulating solubility parameters and acid dissociation constants in nylon-solvent systems, it is precisely control crystallization to assemble interlaced 1D nanofiber skeletons, yielding nylon aerogels that integrate a high specific surface area (226 m g), exceptional compressive modulus (12.

Soil erosion is an ongoing environmental problem. To address this issue, calibrated erosion models are used to forecast areas vulnerable to erosion and to determine appropriate preventive measures. Model calibrations are based on erosion data recorded using different techniques such as photogrammetry from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

The plateau pika () is a keystone species on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and its population density-typically inferred from burrow counts-requires rapid, low-cost monitoring. We propose YOLO-Pika, a lightweight detector built on YOLOv8n that integrates (1) a Fusion_Block into the backbone, leveraging high-dimensional mapping and fine-grained gating to enhance feature representation with negligible computational overhead, and (2) an MS_Fusion_FPN composed of multiple MSEI modules for multi-scale frequency-domain fusion and edge enhancement. On a plateau pika burrow dataset, YOLO-Pika increases mAP50 by 3.
