Bridging Theory and Prediction: A Hybrid SEM and Machine Learning Approach to Optimize Lean Construction for Megaproject Sustainability in China

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 5017-5039, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Construction megaprojects, large‐scale, complex, and capital‐intensive, are particularly prone to inefficiencies, cost overruns, delays, and environmental degradation due to fragmented workflows, stakeholder misalignment, and resource intensity.

The Pavement Condition Index (PCI) Method for Evaluating Pavement Distresses of The Roads in Iraq- A Case Study in Al- Nasiriyah City

University of Thi-Qar Journal for Engineering Sciences, 2021
The pavement condition index (PCI) method provides a simple way for determining maintenance and repair (M-R) needs and priorities. The PCI procedure was developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1997. In this study, an attempt was made to adopt the PCI method to evaluate the pavement state and suggest suitable maintenance and repair (M-and-R ...

Harnessing the PpHog1 Regulatory Network to Engineer a UPR‐Adaptive Komagataella phaffii Chassis for High‐Copy Secretory Protein Production

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.
Increasing gene copy number is a common strategy to boost heterologous expression, but an excessively high copy number of genes encoding secretory proteins can cause ER stress, leading to growth defects and ERAD activation. To solve this, we screened for key UPR signalling components in K. phaffii and used them to engineer a UPR‐Ad+ strain.

State‐Level Politics in Forest Governance: The Role of the Narrative‐Policy Nexus in the Brazilian Amazon

Environmental Policy and Governance, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 476-490, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Deforestation and its social impacts are an enduring challenge in agrarian frontiers, especially in the tropics. Fueled by global demand for commodities, this process is mediated by ideas, concepts, meanings, and policies that uphold socioenvironmental degradation. A key and understudied—arena in which this mediation occurs is the sub‐national
