Circular Design Strategies Unleashed: Competitiveness and the Journey Towards Circular Manufacturing Businesses

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transition to a circular economy (CE) remains hindered by the lack of practical strategies that simultaneously secure competitiveness and deliver sustainability outcomes for manufacturing organisations. While circular design is often cited as a cornerstone of CE, its concrete role in driving competitive advantage and organisational ...

Translating Circularity Into Strategy: A Governance Meta‐Capability Framework

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Firms struggle to transition to circular economy (CE) models, often citing external barriers. Yet some firms succeed, whereas others fail: Why? We argue that success depends on a specific governance capability—a meta‐capability that allows firms to (1) sense and strategically reframe CE imperatives, (2) seize opportunities by aligning diverse ...

Investigation of Mode I Delamination Resistance in Inter-ply and Intra-ply Hybrid Composites Reinforced with Basalt/Nylon Woven Fabrics

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Materials in Engineering, 2019
Due to their sensitivity to impact-induced delamination, woven fabric reinforced polymer composites have limited practical applications. Hybridization of polymer composites has been proposed as a solution to this problem.

Bayesian clustering of multivariate extremes

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract The asymptotic dependence structure between multivariate extreme values is fully characterized by their projections on the unit simplex. Under mild conditions, the only constraint on the resulting distributions is that their marginal means must be equal, which results in a nonparametric model that can be difficult to use in applications ...

From shadows to data: first robust population assessment of snow leopards in Pakistan

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The snow leopard Panthera uncia is a flagship species of the greater Himalayan region and symbolizes the integrity of this ecological system. Within the greater Himalayas, Pakistan holds special significance as the north of the country represents a confluence of three major mountain ranges (Hindu Kush, Pamir–Karakoram, and Himalaya).
