When Corporations Nudge for Good: Examining the Effectiveness of Corporate Social Marketing Initiatives in Influencing Intention to Change

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Firms invest heavily in corporate social initiatives (CSIs), yet evidence of behaviour change remains limited. This study examines whether corporate social marketing (CSM) elicits stronger behavioural intentions to change than other CSI formats, such as philanthropy and cause‐related marketing (CRM), and identifies the psychological mechanisms

Preparation and Evaluation of Biodegradable Film From Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles‐Carboxymethyl Cellulose‐Gelatin Containing Salvia viridis Anthocyanin

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Different percentages of ANT affected the physical and mechanical characteristics of the film. The results indicated that this produced film is a useful tool for monitoring the freshness of food products.. ABSTRACT In recent years, growing environmental concerns have promoted the use of natural and biodegradable polymers in food packaging applications.

Effect of medicinal and food homologous plants polysaccharides on animal nutrition and health: A review

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract As one of the most important components of foods, animal meat provides a lot of protein, fat, and energy for humans. However, nutrition and health of animals directly affect the healthiness of human, especially antibiotic residues in animals induced by abuse of antibiotics.

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Bio‐Based Epoxy Resins from Estragole: Achieving High Glass Transition Temperatures Comparable to DGEBA and Simultaneously Low Viscosities

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
Two novel bio‐based epoxy monomers, diglycidyl‐4‐allylphenol (DG‐4A) and triglycidyl‐diallylphenol (TG‐DA), derived from estragole (92% and 72% bio‐content), were synthesized and cured with isophorone diamin (IPDA) and 4,4´‐diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS). The resins show high Tgs, with DG‐4A reaching and TG‐DA exceeding DGEBA‐based systems. These resins

High Relative Accuracy Computations With Covariance Matrices of Order Statistics

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In many statistical applications, numerical computations with covariance matrices need to be performed. The error made when performing such numerical computations increases with the condition number of the covariance matrix, which is related to the number of variables and the strength of the correlation between the variables. In a recent work,
