Human placental exposure to pollutant nanoparticles: uptake, translocation and functional impact
Abstract figure legend Prenatal exposure to pollutant nanoparticles has been increasingly investigated due to concerns about their potential effects on placental function and pregnancy outcomes. Maternal inhalation of pollutant nanoparticles can result in a pro‐inflammatory response; particles can also translocate across the alveolus epithelial barrier

Creativity Under Pressure: A Case Study of Drug Cartel Innovation
ABSTRACT This article examines drug cartels as creative, innovation‐driven organizations rather than solely violent criminal enterprises. Building on creativity research applied to terrorist groups, we use a qualitative case study approach—drawing from news reports, official documents, open‐source materials, and academic work—to analyze 10 cases of ...

ABSTRACT In situ chemical oxidation (ISCO), a remediation technology for soil and groundwater contamination, utilizes oxidants that can impact the soil environment and indirectly influence soil CO2 emissions. Understanding these emissions may support more sustainable ISCO applications by enabling adjustments to treatment conditions that limit ...

ABSTRACT Studying employment dynamics (e.g., the rates at which firms add or shed jobs) of trucking firms is critical to inform theory and public policy. We examine incumbent trucking firm employment dynamics during the highly expansive period of March 2020–March 2021, when the COVID‐19 pandemic delivered an exogenous shock, upending established ...

Reducing Uncertainty in Cradle‐to‐Farmgate Carbon Intensity for Feedstock Using Model‐Data Fusion
We present a scalable Model–Data Fusion framework that integrates ecosystem modeling with satellite and flux observations to quantify cradle‐to‐farmgate carbon intensity at the field level. The approach reveals large within‐county variability and reduces CI uncertainty by around 50%, enabling policy‐relevant biofuel feedstock accounting.

The impact of public drop‐off boxes and autonomous delivery robots in last‐mile delivery
Abstract The growing concern over emissions from last‐mile logistics is motivating the development of innovative delivery models aimed at reducing environmental impact and traffic congestion. To this end, we propose a last‐mile delivery scheme based on both public drop‐off boxes and autonomous delivery robots.
