Article Synopsis
  • - The evaluation of conservation strategies is often lacking, limiting transparency and efficiency in resource allocation, especially noted in orangutan conservation efforts where about USD 1 billion was invested from 2000 to 2019.
  • - The study found that habitat protection, patrolling, and public outreach yielded the best returns on investment for orangutan population maintenance, but effectiveness varied by region due to different threats and costs.
  • - By using a new framework to analyze conservation investments, the research highlights the importance of understanding the complex relationships between funding and conservation outcomes, offering valuable insights applicable to global biodiversity efforts.

This article shows an approach to change the properties of an orthopaedic shape memory implant within biological tissue, using contactless induction heating. Due to inducing the one way-memory effect, triggered by the rise of temperature within the implant, the geometry and hence the mechanical properties of the implant itself, are altered. The power uptake of the implant, depending on the induction parameters as well as on its position within the induction coil, is shown.
