Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

From Green Governance to Biodiversity Strategy: The Role of Environmentally Experienced Directors in Chinese Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how directors with environmental protection (EP) backgrounds influence corporate biodiversity concern (BIO) among Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2008 to 2023. Drawing on Upper Echelons Theory, we argue that directors' environmental expertise shapes firms' biodiversity strategies.

Pro‐Organic by Design: Choice Architecture Shaping Online Organic Grocery Purchases

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Consumer uptake of organic food is shaped by both personal values and the way choices are structured in the retail environment. Unlike prior research, we here investigate how elements of supermarket choice architecture influence organic choices.

Porous Carbon Materials for Carbon Dioxide Capture

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
This work aims to address the current status and challenges associated with the regulation of pore structures, as well as the influence of pore structures on CO2 capture. Systematic quantitative analysis of structure–property relationships, combined with machine learning approaches, can effectively evaluate the contributions of structural ...

Techno‐Economic Assessment of Biomethane and Biohydrogen Production From Victorian Wheat Straw

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Techno‐economic assessment of biomethane and biohydrogen production from Victorian wheat straw. Off‐grid renewable photovoltaic energy with a price down to 0.95 ¢/kWh was applied. Both approaches can make positive profits and negative carbon footprints.

Recent Progress of Biomass‐Derived Nitrogen‐Doped Carbon Materials as Electrocatalysts: Carbonization, Functionalization, and Applications

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Integrating renewable energy with electrochemical conversion and storage is crucial for sustainable energy solutions. Nitrogen‐doped biomass‐derived carbon materials have emerged as effective catalysts for key reactions such as ORR, HER, and CO2RR. This review explores their synthesis, functionalization, characterization, and catalytic applications ...

Precision Synthesis of Biomass‐Derived Graphene‐Like Carbon With Tailored Crystallinity via Controlled Flash Joule Heating

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
A dual‐phase flash Joule heating strategy converts pre‐pyrolyzed biomass into structurally tunable carbon materials from waste feedstocks. By decoupling current‐driven thermodynamic input and duration‐dependent kinetic relaxation, the process maps the transition from amorphous carbon to few‐layer turbostratic graphene and turbostratic nanographite ...

Applications of Biomaterials in Separators for Secondary Batteries

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
In this review, biomaterial‐based separators are reviewed as sustainable alternatives to conventional polyolefin‐based separators. For 12 different natural polymers, spanning from Protista, Plantae, and Animalia, viable strategies for synthesizing biomass‐based separators are described.

Partially Biobased Polyurethanes With Reversibly Crosslinkable Furan Units Toward Recyclable Thermosetting Textile Fibres

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A molecular design strategy combines lignin‐derived aromatic units, sugar‐derived furan groups, and flexible glycol segments to create wet‐spinnable polyurethanes. Thermally reversible Diels–Alder crosslinking chemistry enables formation of crosslinked thermosetting fibers, repeated de‐crosslinking/re‐crosslinking cycles, and tunable fiber properties ...

Global and Detailed Calculation of Tube Wall Temperature in a Process Furnace Steam Superheater

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
This study presents a comparison between an iterative global model and multiple approaches to a new non‐iterative model with the purpose of predicting tube wall temperature of a superheater. The results show that the non‐iterative method achieves sufficient accuracy while improving the prediction of local temperature distribution and better ...
