Risk, complexity, and uncertainty are inherent components of megaprojects due to their unique features. However, existing project management practices lack a structured synthesis these concepts, which leads unrealistic risk assessments, ineffective strategies, poor performance. In order fill this gap, research aims develop holistic quantification approach incorporating risk-related concepts. Fo...

Abstract One way to address the crises of climate change and biodiversity loss is rapid deployment so-called nature-based solutions (NbS). Coined in 2008, NbS have become exceedingly popular, with many calling upscale these works. However, large-scale ecological restoration construction endeavors already exist. To capture projects, this paper coins defines a new term, “mega-eco project” identif...

MOTIVATION Deep sequencing has become the method of choice for determining the small RNA content of a cell. Mapping the sequenced reads onto their reference genome serves as the basis for all further analyses, namely for identification and quantification. A method frequently used is Mega BLAST followed by several filtering steps, even though it is slow and inefficient for this task. Also, none ...
