The aesthetic sublime of megaproject structures: A framework and a research agenda

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The physical structures of megaprojects—such as mega‐canals, metros, railway lines, bridges, tunnels, and iconic opera houses—hold a profound capacity to generate aesthetic experiences with enduring societal impact. Yet, research on megaprojects has predominantly focused on functionality and economic rationale with aesthetics being pushed to ...

Skeletons of swiftly swimming sharks: Three‐dimensional analysis of lamniform vertebral morphology and mineral architecture

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We examined morphology, 3D arrangement, and mineral amount in cartilaginous vertebrae from four lamniform shark families (Alopiidae, Carchariidae, Cetorhinidae, and Lamnidae). We identified family‐specific mineralization trends, and regional patterning of structures along the column.

Geometry of Breaking Waves Under Natural Sea Conditions

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Wave breaking geometry is critical for understanding air‐sea interactions, yet its characterization in the field remains limited. This study analyzes the geometry of 16,369 active breaking waves, measured via stereo imagery in the Black Sea under diverse conditions.

Evolution and Influence Analysis of Skid Resistance Performance in Steel Slag Ultra‐Thin Wearing Course Based on XGBoost‐SHAP Framework

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
An XGBoost‐SHAP framework accurately predicted skid resistance evolution in steel slag ultra‐thin wearing courses under accelerated loading. Surface texture amplitude (Rz, Rq) and loading cycles dominated BPN variation, while 50% steel slag replacement provided a cost‐effective balance between anti‐skid durability and material use.
