Operational Performance Implications of Circular Economy Implementation: An Empirical Exploration in the Manufacturing Sector

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global manufacturing sector has increasingly adopted circular economy (CE) practices to address sustainability challenges and improve operational efficiency. This study explores the impact of five CE practices—reduce, reuse, remanufacture, recycle, and recover—on key operational performance dimensions: quality, speed, dependability ...

Utilization of Capture-Mark-Recapture for the Study of Recruitment and Population Growth Rate

open access: yesBiometrics, 1996
Capture-mark-recapture data has been extensively used for the study of survival. However, recruitment and population growth rate can be investigated as well. The study of recruitment is shown to be equivalent to the study of survival in reverse and can be carried out by inverting capture histories.

When Do Robots Go Green? Unveiling Mechanisms, Thresholds, and Spillovers of Industrial Robotics on Global Ecological Capacity

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the relationship between industrial robotics adoption and ecological capacity, measured by biocapacity, using panel data from 50 countries over the period 2000–2024. We investigate the transmission mechanisms, non‐linearities, spatial spillovers, and heterogeneity characterizing this relationship.

Extension of Pradel capture–recapture survival‐recruitment model accounting for transients

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution
Population growth is the sum of survival and recruitment, and knowledge of these two vital rates is crucial for understanding population dynamics. Moreover, animal populations often contain varying number of transient (i.e.

Population recovery following decline in an endangered stream-breeding frog (Mixophyes fleayi) from subtropical Australia.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Amphibians have undergone dramatic declines and extinctions worldwide. Prominent among these have been the stream-breeding frogs in the rainforests of eastern Australia. The amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) has been postulated

Sustainable Innovation and Impact on Triple Bottom Line Performance: Are Innovation Types Simple Mediators?

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the way sustainable innovation, conceptualized as a second‐order construct integrating sustainable orientation and innovation culture, impacts triple bottom line (TBL) performance. It also examines the mediating roles of product, process, organizational, and marketing innovations.

Estimating population parameters of longsnout seahorses, Hippocampus reidi (Teleostei: Syngnathidae) through mark-recapture

open access: yesNeotropical Ichthyology, 2017
Estimating population parameters is essential for understanding the ecology of species, which ultimately helps to assess their conservation status. The seahorse Hippocampus reidi is directly exposed to anthropogenic threats along the Brazilian coast, but

Issue Construals and Corporate Water Stewardship

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the face of mounting environmental and social pressures, the importance of responsible corporate water stewardship (CWS) should be evident, yet not all businesses are taking water management issues seriously. The aim of this study is to explore why differences in CWS persist, especially within industries facing similar resource challenges ...

Age‐specific survival of reintroduced swift fox in Badlands National Park and surrounding lands

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2016
In 2003, a reintroduction program was initiated at Badlands National Park (BNP), South Dakota, USA, with swift foxes (Vulpes velox) translocated from Colorado and Wyoming, USA, as part of a restoration effort to recover declining swift fox populations ...

Experimental methods in chemical engineering: Temperature‐programmed oxidation—TPO

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Temperature‐programmed oxidation (TPO) probes the oxidative capacity and redox properties of solid materials—catalysts, metal oxides, perovskites, and carbonaceous deposits. It identifies coke type, distribution, and reactivity. TPO instruments pass an oxidizing gas (diluted O2$$ {\mathrm{O}}_2 $$, air, or less commonly N2O$$ {\mathrm{N}}_2 ...
