Bridging the Capability Gap: A Multidimensional Maturity Model for Smart City Development in German Municipalities

open access: yesUrban Science
Municipal smart city programs remain hampered by conceptual fragmentation and the absence of validated, context-specific maturity assessments. We develop the Smart Municipality Maturity Model (SMMM) via a design-science process, synthesizing 183 ...

KEY FACTORS OF PROCESS MATURITY IN ENGLISH-SPEAKING CARIBBEAN FIRMS [PDF]

open access: yesRAE: Revista de Administração de Empresas, 2014
The information system (IS) community has been struggling with the delivery of low quality systems. Software process improvement (SPI) has been accepted as one of the remedies to overcome this problem, with process maturity being a key element.

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

A model for defining project lifecycle phases: Implementation of CMMI level 2 specific practice

open access: yesJournal of King Saud University: Computer and Information Sciences, 2022
Carefully considering the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Level 2 specific practice to “define project life cycle phases” (SP 1.3) is a key requirement, particularly when it comes to small and medium-sized software development organizations.

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

A Capability Maturity Model for Integrated Project Delivery

open access: yesBuildings
As the adoption of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) progresses, increasing evidence highlights its potential to improve project outcomes. However, as an emerging practice, there remains a lack of structured mechanisms to evaluate the maturity of its implementation, which can limit opportunities for learning and improvement.

Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.
