Safety Assessment of Critical Aircraft Systems Under Multisource Uncertainty Based on Evidence Network

open access: yesInternational Journal of Aerospace Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
As civil aircraft components become more autonomous in China, airworthiness certification is facing the problem of insufficient failure data, leading to challenges in terms of uncertainty. Traditional probabilistic models struggle to effectively integrate multisource uncertainties, limiting their application in data‐scarce scenarios.

Drone‐Assisted Organ Transport: A Scoping Review of Clinical, Regulatory, and System Readiness

open access: yesClinical Transplantation, Volume 39, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Organ transport remains a critical determinant of transplant success, with delays during transfer prolonging cold ischemia time (CIT) and increasing the risk of delayed graft function or organ discard. Uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) have emerged as a potential means to enhance the speed, predictability, and resilience of transplant logistics.
