This paper presents a communication network for a squadron of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to be used in the scanning rocket impact area for Barreira do Inferno Launch Center-CLBI (Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil), aiming at detecting intruder boats. The main features of communication networks associated with multi-UAV systems are presented. This system sends information through Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). After comparing and analyzing area scanning strategies, it presents the specification of a data communication network architecture for a squadron of UAVs within a sensor network using XBee Pro 900HP S3B modules. A brief description is made about the initial information from the construction of the system. The embedded hardware and the design procedure of a dedicated communication antenna to the XBee modules are presented. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed architecture in terms of robustness and reliability, a set of experimental tests in different communication scenarios is carried out. Network management software is employed to measure the throughput, packet loss and other performance indicators in the communication links between the different network nodes. Experimental results allow verifying the quality and performance of the network nodes, as well as the reliability of the communication links, assessing signal received quality, range and latency.

An increasing number of treatment guidelines recommend rapid initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) after the diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. However, data on the association between rapid ART initiation and alterations in brain structure and function remain limited in people with HIV (PWH). A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) undergoing ART.

In the field of gun launched missile extended range rocket, the propellant grain in the rocket needs to withstand significant launch loads during their firing phase, and also bear the high pressure caused by ignition, and the impact of launch overloads and ignition shocks on the structural integrity of propellants becomes very important. So this work investigated the dynamic initiation fracture toughness of the composite modified double-base (CMDB) propellant by both experiments and numerical simulations. The dynamic mechanical properties test of the cracked straight through flattened Brazilian disc (CSTFBD) specimens were conducted using a modified Split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB).

Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed new smokeless propellants using an absorption rolling method, enhancing thermal stability by replacing nitroglycerin (NG) with -butyl--nitratoethyl nitramine (Bu-NENA).
- The study used various testing methods to analyze thermal stability, combustion characteristics, and the effects of Bu-NENA on burning rates and flame temperatures.
- Results indicated that while increasing Bu-NENA improved thermal stability, it also lowered the burning rate and flame temperature due to heat absorption during its volatilization.
Novel multi-modal methodology to investigate placebo response in major depressive disorder.

McLean Hospital, Belmont, MA, United States of America.
Article Synopsis
- Scientists want to understand how the placebo effect works in people with major depressive disorder (MDD) because it's getting stronger in clinical trials, making it harder to find out if new treatments really work.
- They believe that studying how dopamine (a chemical in the brain related to rewards and pleasure) affects the placebo response could help find out who benefits from treatments and improve mental health care.
- The researchers set up a special clinical trial to explore this idea, using different methods to look at how the brain's reward system might influence the placebo effect in people with depression.

Background: This study compares propellant fuels' specific thrust and impulse parameters using nanocarbon variant fuels from coconut shells and coal. Specific impulses and impulses are essential parameters that determine rocket performance. The specific thrust and impulses are influenced by fuel type, material composition, heat flow, and burning time parameters.
