Eco‐Initiatives and Commitment to the Equator Principles

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Equator Principles (EP) score is a performance code for financial institutions (FIs) based on their commitment to managing environmental issues in project financing. This study examines the impact of environmental initiatives on the adoption of the EP by 204 US financial firms (including banks, insurance companies, investment banks, asset ...

Supersymmetric Representations and Integrable Fermionic Extensions of the Burgers and Boussinesq Equations

open access: yesSymmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2006
We construct new integrable coupled systems of N = 1 supersymmetric equations and present integrable fermionic extensions of the Burgers and Boussinesq equations. Existence of infinitely many higher symmetries is demonstrated by the presence of recursion

The Theory of Interpersonal Behaviour Applied to the Mediating Influence of Habit on Recycling Behaviour in South African Townships

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recycling rates in South African townships remain critically low, undermining progress towards sustainable development and the transition to a circular economy. This study applies the theory of interpersonal behaviour (TIP) to examine how recycling habits mediate the relationship between key drivers—past behaviour, environmental concern ...

From Connectivity to Complexity: Supply Chain Digitalisation, Governance Capacity, and Climate Vulnerability

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The complexity of the global supply chain system, coupled with advanced digitalisation makes it difficult to estimate its domino effects on climate vulnerability. A clear understanding of the possible climate vulnerability consequences generated all over the world is, however, a fundamental step toward building socio‐economic resilience and ...

A New Efficient Hybrid Method Based on FEM and FDM for Solving Burgers’ Equation with Forcing Term

open access: yesJournal of Applied Mathematics
This paper presents a study on the numerical solutions of the Burgers’ equation with forcing effects. The article proposes three hybrid methods that combine two-point, three-point, and four-point discretization in time with the Galerkin finite element ...

Dancing to multiple tunes: Establishing legitimacy with first‐time and repeat backers in crowdfunding campaigns

open access: yesStrategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Using 14,108 Kickstarter crowdfunding campaigns, we examine three strategies to gather support from first‐time versus repeat backers: narrative distinctiveness aligning with backers' expectations of novelty, endorsement from Kickstarter staff, and campaign leadership's reciprocity of funding other campaigns.

Influence of Temperature on the Reliability of Graphene‐Based Ozone Sensors

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
The reliability and stability of inkjet‐printed graphene flake sensors are evaluated. Stress assessments take place in ozone‐rich environments and at elevated temperatures, with the observation of a change in resistance. Surface‐sensitive techniques serve to investigate the failure and degradation mechanisms of printed graphene.

Numerical solution of the burgers equation

open access: yes, 2007
This is a chapter on numerical solutions of the Burgers equation given by Ut + eUUx - ? Uxx = 0, a = x = b. The Burgers equation is a nonlinear partial di?erential equations which combines the e?ect of nonlinearity (eUUx) and dissipation (? Uxx).

Thermal Instability Pathways of Aluminum‐Based Nanocomposites: The Role of Alloying‐Element‐Driven Precipitation and Amorphous Interlayers

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Thermal instability mechanisms governing novel Al‐based PVD/ALD nanocomposites are uncovered through synchrotron XRD, STEM, APT, and micromechanical testing. Temperature‐dependent crystallite evolution reveals a defined stability window before degradation dominates, offering new insight into the design of thermally robust, functional Al‐based ...
