Design and Evaluation of an Ecological Interface for Separating UAV from Manned Air Trafc in Tower Control

The expected increase in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) traffic in European airspace raises concerns regarding the human factors of tower controllers. Dynamic geofences offer tower control a means to safely separate UAVs from manned traffic, without direct interactions with individual UAVs. A preliminary support interface was designed, supporting...

In vitro evaluation of a PEKK and poly-carbonate-urea-urethane implant for the treatment of osteochondral defects

Cartilage repair remains a major challenge and treatment of osteochondral defects generally results in inferior quality fibrous repair tissue. This study aims to elaborate on the work of Korthagen et al. who developed a thermoplastic polyurethane and polyetherketoneketone implant to treat osteochondral defects. Although promising results were...
