Modelling Sustainability Performance in Manufacturing Companies

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nowadays, organisations need to operate with economic, social and environmental goals in mind. Indices objectively quantify such goals; hence, an organisation can develop and compare policies based on future index values. We propose a system dynamics‐based model of a manufacturing company that frames its operations in terms of a set of easily ...

Tensor products and sums of 𝑝\mspace{1𝑚𝑢}-harmonic functions, quasiminimizers and 𝑝\mspace{1𝑚𝑢}-admissible weights

, 2018
The tensor product of two p p\mspace {1mu} -harmonic functions is in general not p p\mspace {1mu} -harmonic, but we show that it is a quasiminimizer. More generally, we show that the

Upper bound limit analysis of coral reef limestone cavern roof stability incorporating a tension‐shear failure mechanism with tensile‐strength cut‐off

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
For the roof of coral reef limestone caverns, a novel tension‐shear composite failure mechanism was developed. The most critical tensile crack model was identified using a hybrid optimization algorithm, and the stability of the cavern roof was analyzed accordingly.

Nowcasting World Trade With Machine Learning: A Three‐Step Approach

Journal of Forecasting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We nowcast world trade using machine learning, distinguishing between tree‐based methods (random forest and gradient boosting) and their linear‐regression‐based counterparts (macroeconomic random forest and gradient boosting—linear). While much less used in the literature, the latter are found to outperform not only the tree‐based techniques ...

Multifactorial Screening for Fine‐Scale Selection of CCS Industrial Clusters and Hubs in Brazil

Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As Brazil moves toward implementing its decarbonization commitments, carbon capture and storage (CCS) hubs are emerging as a key pathway for large‐scale CO2 abatement in hard‐to‐abate sectors. This paper presents a multifactorial, data‐driven framework to screen and prioritize potential CCS industrial clusters and hubs across Brazilian regions,

Gender, violence, and killing: Revisiting femicide, and the overlooked realities of male victimization

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract The term femicide, widely used in reference to the “killing of a woman because she is a woman,” has been questioned on the ground that it implies unequal dignity of men and women victims of gender related death. This position called for an analysis of the terminology used to describe and define the various forms of killing of women and men. We

Fiscal Policy Regimes in Resource‐Rich Economies

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We analyse fiscal policy in resource‐rich economies using a novel Bayesian regime‐switching panel model. The identified regimes capture pro‐ or countercyclical fiscal behaviour by allowing regime‐specific shifts in the average fiscal stance, while the switches between the regimes have the interpretation of changes in fiscal policy.

Colourings of Uniform Group Divisible Designs and Maximum Packings

Journal of Combinatorial Designs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A weak c $c$‐colouring of a design is an assignment of colours to its points from a set of c $c$ available colours, such that there are no monochromatic blocks. A colouring of a design is block‐equitable, if for each block, the number of points coloured with any available pair of colours differ by at most one.

Geometric Interpretation of Frequency Domain Robustness Constraints and Closed-Loop Pole Locations

Mathematics
Requirements for robustness and performance in the frequency domain in control theory are usually formulated as constraints on the modulus of complex functions describing the open-loop system, the sensitivity function, and the complementary sensitivity ...
