The Application of Carbon Dots in Crops for Sustainable Agriculture

ChemistryEurope, EarlyView.
Carbon dots serve as versatile nanoagents across the crop life cycle. They promote plant growth and photosynthesis, enhance resilience to biotic and abiotic stresses, aid in postharvest preservation, and enable sensitive detection of contaminants.

Framing Modern Slavery: Do Stakeholders Talk Past Each Other?

Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences / Revue Canadienne des Sciences de l'Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern slavery literature has thus far mostly adopted a downstream perspective, in the sense that researchers investigated corporate actors' responses after the enactment of transparency legislation. The common finding is that corporate disclosure is poor and ineffective, contributing to a failure to eradicate modern slavery.

Sensitivity analysis and stochastic optimization of levelized cost of hydrogen production through methane pyrolysis

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Hydrogen plays a crucial role across multiple industrial sectors and is increasingly recognized as a clean energy carrier with significant potential in decarbonization efforts. Methane pyrolysis (MP), particularly using molten metal catalysts, offers a promising pathway for hydrogen production with low CO2 emissions.

Firm-Network Characteristics and Economic Robustness to Natural Disasters [PDF]

This article proposes a theoretical framework to investigate economic robustness to exogenous shocks such as natural disasters. It is based on a dynamic model that represents a regional economy as a network of production units through the disaggregation ...

Hidden Markov graphical models with state‐dependent generalized hyperbolic distributions

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, we develop a novel hidden Markov graphical model to investigate time‐varying interconnectedness between different financial markets. To identify conditional correlation structures under varying market conditions and accommodate shape features embedded in financial time series, we rely upon the generalized hyperbolic family of ...

The Formation of Covalent Linkages in Lignocellulosic Biomass via the Oxocarbenium Intermediate

ChemPhysChem, EarlyView.
Density functional theory models show that the hydrated and acidic hemicellulose matrix in lignocellulosic biomass can generate oxocarbenium ions. These reactive intermediates can participate in the stable formation of glycosidic lignin‐carbohydrate covalent linkages, promoting recalcitrance in plant biomass.
