State of the Art of Low‐Frequency Acoustic Modulation: Intensity Enhancement and Directional Control
High intensity low‐frequency sound sources hold significant value in many fields. However, their long wavelength, strong penetrability, and tendency to diffract make direction control and intensity enhancement challenging. Acoustic generators and metamaterial‐based acoustic devices still face issues such as low energy efficiency, poor directional ...

Blockchain technologies as enablers of supply chain mapping for sustainable supply chains
Abstract The advent of blockchain technologies is transmuting the way conventional supply chains are being managed. Due to the complexity of dealing with many actors involved in the supply chain networks, contemporary supply chains have limited visibility, transparency, and accountability.

Sivian and White revisited: the role of resonant thermal noise pressure on the eardrum in auditory thresholds [PDF]
The influence of thermal pressure fluctuations on the tympanic membrane has been re- examined as a possible contributing determinant of the threshold of human hearing over the range of audible frequencies. The early approximate calculation of Sivian and White [1] is shown to result in higher values of thermal noise pressure on the tympanium of a model ...

By investigating auditory hyperexcitability in a mouse model for hereditary deafness, this study identified a subpopulation of afferent neurons of the auditory nerve marked by Otogl expression. Despite their apparently normal hearing, Otogl+/− mice display poor activation of afferent neurons processing loud sounds and an elevation of the middle the ear

Environmental, Social and Governance investing: Does rating matter?
Abstract In the last decade, the demand for sustainable and social investments has improved. The mutual funds industry has responded to market needs by offering a number of investment products focused on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) companies.

Shared and Unique Neural Codes for Biological Motion Perception in Humans and Macaque Monkeys
Cross‐species fMRI studies reveal distinct neural mechanisms for biological motion (BM) processing. In humans, the posterior superior temporal sulcus (hpSTS) selectively responds to conspecific BM, while monkeys process BM from both species in the middle temporal area (MT).

Which institutional investors drive corporate sustainability? A systematic literature review
Abstract In this article, we review recent archival research (66 studies) on the influence of institutional ownership (IO) heterogeneity on corporate sustainability. Relying on an agency‐theoretical framework, we differentiate between various types of IO and their nature.
