Release of multicomponent pheromones from porous fibres

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Surface engineering empowers a polymer exclusion net to serve dual functions: physical exclusion and pheromonal release, allowing for pest control in agricultural crops. In previous work, a net woven from porous fibres releasing simple, single‐component alarm pheromones showed promising results in field tests.

Comparison of modelling approaches for liquid fluidized beds

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents a comparison of three promising numerical models for the detailed simulation of liquid–solid fluidized bed. These models differ in their treatment of the solid phase, ranging from treating each particle individually to treating the collection of particles as a continuum.

Bayesian inverse ensemble forecasting for COVID‐19

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Variations in strains of COVID‐19 have a significant impact on the rate of surges and on the accuracy of forecasts of the epidemic dynamics. The primary goal for this article is to quantify the effects of varying strains of COVID‐19 on ensemble forecasts of individual “surges.” By modelling the disease dynamics with an SIR model, we solve the ...

Governance Drivers of Fossil Fuel Divestment: Evidence From Global Banks

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses increasing transition risks for the banking sector, as financial institutions remain exposed to fossil fuel activities despite growing sustainability commitments. This study examines whether corporate governance influences banks' decisions to adopt fossil fuel divestment policies.

Readiness and Maturity for a Smart Circular Economy to Enhance Sustainability Performance: A Multidimensional Framework for the Hospitality Sector

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on readiness and maturity for the smart circular economy (SCE) remains fragmented, especially in the hospitality sector. This study develops a multidimensional framework that integrates the principles of the circular economy, Industry 4.0, and sustainability performance in the context of tourist accommodations.

Chaos control for a class of discrete-time chaotic systems using pole-placement technique

open access: yes, 2004
In this paper, chaos control is addressed for a class of discrete-time chaotic systems. Based on the state feedback control and the characteristic of ergodicity of chaos, a new, yet simple control method is proposed for controlling a class of discrete ...
