Using unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) to improve access to blood in low- and middle-income countries: Current challenges and opportunities. [PDF]
Vox SangAbstract Blood transfusion is life‐saving for patients in emergencies, but low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) often face a severe shortage of banked blood. Establishing blood banks in rural areas presents substantial logistical and economic challenges for many LMICs.

Drone-Assisted Organ Transport: A Scoping Review of Clinical, Regulatory, and System Readiness. [PDF]
Clin TransplantABSTRACT 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.

Assessing C2 communications for UAS traffic management [PDF]
2018 Integrated Communications, Navigation, Surveillance Conference (ICNS), 2018 The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Traffic Management (UTM) project works to develop tools and technologies essential for safely enabling civilian low-altitude UAS operations. Currently there is no established infrastructure to enable and safely manage the widespread use of low-altitude airspace ...

Integrating livestock and cropping systems: Interseeding cereal rye into corn for grazing. [PDF]
J Environ QualAbstract Interseeding annual forages into growing corn may be an alternative for both cover and grazing in temperate regions of the United States. A 4‐year experiment evaluated the effect of interseeding cereal rye (Secale cereale) into corn for grazing after harvest on corn grain, forage biomass yield and quality, soil health, and estimated spatial ...

Risk Assessment for UAS Logistic Delivery under UAS Traffic Management Environment [PDF]
Aerospace, 2020 Resulting from a mature accomplishment of the unmanned aircraft system (UAS), it is feasible to be adopted into logistic delivery services. The supporting technologies should be identified and examined, accompanying with the risk assessment. This paper surveys the risk assessment studies for UAVs.

A Finite-State Fixed-Corridor Model for UAS Traffic Management
IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation SystemsThis paper proposes a physics-inspired solution for low altitude Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Traffic Management (UTM) in urban areas. We decompose UTM into spatial and temporal planning problems. For the spatial planning problem, we use the principles of Eulerian continuum mechanics to safely and optimally allocate finite airspace to a UAS.

Review and Simulation of Counter-UAS Sensors for Unmanned Traffic Management [PDF]
Sensors, 2021 Noncollaborative surveillance of airborne UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) is a key enabler to the safe integration of UAS within a UTM (Unmanned Traffic Management) ecosystem. Thus, a wide variety of new sensors (known as Counter-UAS sensors) are being developed to provide real-time UAS tracking, ranging from radar, RF analysis and image-based detection ...

Incorporating Optimization in Strategic Conflict Resolution for UAS Traffic Management
IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, 2023 This study presents an approach to incorporate optimisation in the strategic conflict resolution service for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) traffic management. A conventional approach in line with the First-Come, First-Served (FCFS) principle is introduced, following the generation of two types of flight plans (i.e., linear and area operations) with ...

Integrating Runtime Verification into an Automated UAS Traffic Management System
Innovations in Systems and Software Engineering, 2020 Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are quickly integrating into the National Air Space (NAS). With the number of registered small (under 55 pounds) UAS in the USA alone at over 1.5 million, and projected to expand rapidly, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), safety is a pressing consideration.

GPCRs in CAR‐T Cell Immunotherapy: Expanding the Target Landscape and Enhancing Therapeutic Efficacy
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 35, 24 June 2026.Chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy faces dual challenges of target scarcity and an immunosuppressive microenvironment in solid tumors. This review highlights how G protein‐coupled receptors can serve as both novel targets to expand the therapeutic scope and functional modules to enhance CAR‐T cell efficacy.
