Exploring the relationship between governance mechanisms and contractor behaviors: insights from fairness perception

Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering
The principal-agent problem arising from the inconsistency of interests and information asymmetry between owner and contractors in construction projects inevitably leads to conflicts among project stakeholders.

Governance Mechanisms in Business-to-Business Relationships: Analysis and Systematisation

Zeszyty Naukowe Uniwersytetu Ekonomicznego w Krakowie
Objective: As the increased number of studies on governance mechanisms is accompanied by a similarly increased lack of terminological consistency, the paper aims to propose a systematisation of the governance mechanisms in B2B relationships based on a ...

Microstructure‑Dependent Phase Transformations Under High‑Pressure Laser Heating in Additively Manufactured AlCrFe2Ni2

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Additively manufactured AlCrFe2Ni2 with contrasting BCC/B2‐dominant and lamellar FCC + BCC/B2 microstructures exhibits the same pressure‐induced BCC/B2 → HCP transformation. Under laser heating at high pressure, HCP is destabilized, and a cubic BCC/B2 + FCC assemblage is recovered, while the lower‐scan‐speed microstructure transforms at a lower ...

Influence of Particle Shape and Size in Copper‐Based Low‐Temperature Metallization Paste for Solar Cells

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Particle morphology controls the balance between printability and electrical connectivity in low‐temperature AgCu/Ag metallization pastes. Flake‐shaped AgCu particles form extended low‐resistance contacts, whereas spherical particles favor processability at high metal loading. Fine Ag particles further tune void filling and conductive‐network formation

Counterion Dependent Side‐Chain Relaxation Stiffens a Chemically Doped Thienothiophene Copolymer

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Oxidation of a thienothiophene copolymer, p(g3TT‐T2), via different doping strategies and dopant molecules resulted in materials with similar oxidation levels and a high electrical conductivity of ≈100 S cm−1. However, mechanical properties varied significantly, with sub‐glass transition temperatures and elastic moduli spanning from –44°C to –3°C and ...

Wearable Smart Patches on Sustainable Chitosan With Reversible Microbial Growth‐Inhibitory Properties

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chitosan, a polysaccharide upcycled from biowaste, has long promised sustainable, biocompatible, and antimicrobial films and devices, an appeal reinforced by its recent regulatory recognition, with several chitosan‐based antibacterial dressings gaining clearance through the Food and Drug Administration's 510(k) pathway.
