Causal Relationship Between ESG Assessment Criteria and SDGs for PPP Projects: A Fuzzy Cognitive Approach

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) assessment criteria have received substantial recognition for investment decision and practical steps to achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Given the global reliance on public‐private partnership (PPP) to bridge infrastructure deficit, investment into these projects is on the rise; it

Determinants of Perceived Public Value in PPPs for Urban Transport in Developing Contexts: An Ex‐Ante Structural Analysis of Guadalajara Light Rail Line 4

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Public–private partnerships (PPPs) are widely used to deliver urban rail in developing contexts, although their contribution to public value remains contested. This paper offers an ex‐ante analysis of the determinants of perceived public value, using Mexico's Guadalajara Light Rail Line 4 as an illustrative case.

Rapid and Efficient Affinity Isolation of Engineered Extracellular Vesicles Encapsulating Functional Proteins via Internal Twin‐Strep Tetraspanin Tagging

Small, EarlyView.
Structure‐guided internal twin‐Strep tagging of the tetraspanins CD63 or CD9 enables rapid and efficient antibody‐free affinity isolation of engineered extracellular vesicles (EVs) using Strep technology while allowing luminal protein loading. The approach removes over 96% of contaminants, separates tagged EVs from coexisting viral particles, and ...

Cardiomyocyte Membrane‐Camouflaged Spinach Nano‐Thylakoids Enhance Myocardial Energy Metabolism and Ameliorate Heart Failure

Small, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of the construction of MM‐NTU, its cardiac‐targeting behavior, and its light‐activated therapeutic mechanism. Thylakoids isolated from spinach chloroplasts were processed into nano‐thylakoid units (NTU) and further camouflaged with cardiomyocyte membranes to generate MM‐NTU.

Endocytosis‐independent cytosolic entry of messenger RNA via fluorous bilayer zippering attenuating Toll‐like receptor signaling and enables ischemic tissue salvage

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
The present study establishes a paradigm shift in synthetic mRNA delivery through the convergence of three orthogonal chemistries—perfluoro‐acylation, bio‐orthogonal click cross‐linking, and disulfide reduction—within a single, modular polymer architecture. Abstract A fundamental constraint of conventional messenger RNA (mRNA) delivery systems is their

Prediction of Ceiling Temperature in Tunnel Fires Under Canyon‐Wind Conditions Using Ensemble Learning

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
A LightGBM‐based ensemble learning framework with SHAP interpretability analysis was developed for predicting ceiling temperature in canyon‐wind tunnel fires. The model demonstrated robust generalization (R2 = 0.7476) under unseen extreme conditions, with fire‐source location identified as the primary factor driving temperature evolution.

Vision language models for bridge inspections: A review of applications in image‐based damage documentation

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Automating bridge inspections requires more than detecting individual damage instances. It demands systems capable of describing, contextualizing, and interpreting damage in an inspection‐relevant manner. Conventional computer vision approaches, such as object detection and segmentation, primarily address visual recognition tasks and are ...
