ABSTRACT Basal and standard metabolic rate (BMR and SMR) are cornerstones of physiological ecology and are assumed to be relatively fixed intrinsic properties of organisms that represent the minimum energy required to sustain life. However, this assumption is conceptually flawed. Many core maintenance processes underlying SMR are temporally partitioned

ESG Assurance and Dividends: Evidence From 18 Countries in Africa
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) assurance on a firm's dividend payout policies within the unique African context. Using a staggered difference‐in‐differences (DiD) model, this study examines how voluntary third‐party assurance of ESG reports influences firms' dividend payout policies compared to ...

Internalization of Management Systems and Eco‐Product Innovation: The More the Better?
ABSTRACT Environmental challenges demand urgent and strategic responses from firms. Eco‐product innovation (EPI) is a key approach to reducing environmental impact while preserving competitiveness. This research analyses the relationship between EPI and the internalization of management system (MS) certifications, focusing on ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ...

Green Hydrogen for Public Transportation: Insights From an ABM and From Palma de Mallorca Case Study
ABSTRACT The development of green hydrogen (GH2) value chains is crucial for decarbonizing sectors such as transport and industry. Their emergence, however, requires coordination among diverse actors, technologies, and regulations, which traditional analytical approaches struggle to capture.

Target Firm's ESG Engagement and Post–M&A Performance: The Mediating Role of Acquirer's CSR Strategy
ABSTRACT The paper examines whether the environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance of target firms influences both accounting‐based and market‐based corporate financial performance (CFP) within the merger and acquisition (M&A) context and whether this relationship is mediated by the acquirer's corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy.

Transient thermal modelling of green anode cooling in the aluminium industry
Summary of the methodology. Abstract Anodes, which are used in electrolytic aluminium production, are made by mixing dry aggregate (petroleum coke, rejected anodes, and butts) with coal tar pitch, compacting the resulting paste (green anode), and baking (baked anode). After compaction, the anodes are cooled to maintain their structural integrity before

Asymptotic properties of cross‐classified sampling designs
Abstract We investigate the family of cross‐classified sampling designs across an arbitrary number of dimensions. We introduce a variance decomposition that enables the derivation of general asymptotic properties for these designs and the development of straightforward and asymptotically unbiased variance estimators.

Invariant Measure and Universality of the 2D Yang–Mills Langevin Dynamic
ABSTRACT We prove that the Yang–Mills (YM) measure for the trivial principal bundle over the two‐dimensional torus, with any connected, compact structure group, is invariant for the associated renormalised Langevin dynamic. Our argument relies on a combination of regularity structures, lattice gauge‐fixing and Bourgain's method for invariant measures ...
