Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Institutional investors increasingly rely on ESG ratings to evaluate financially material sustainability risks, while governments promote corporate alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Because these frameworks differ substantially in capital market salience and monitoring intensity, board oversight may not ...

`The frozen accident' as an evolutionary adaptation: A rate distortion theory perspective on the dynamics and symmetries of genetic coding mechanisms [PDF]
, 2011 We survey some interpretations and related issues concerning the frozen hypothesis due to F. Crick and how it can be explained in terms of several natural mechanisms involving error correction codes, spin glasses, symmetry breaking and the characteristic

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Annual tree growth is a complex biological process. Modelling radial growth in the trunk by linear‐circular regression with one mode and correlated errors has allowed the definition and assessment of a preferred direction for 1 and 2 years. Here, modified F$$ F $$‐tests are presented for 3 years, 1 mode/year; 1 year, 2 modes for possible main ...

Optimal subsampling for regression with mixed‐type predictors
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Subsampling has emerged as an appealing strategy to mitigate the computational and storage challenges imposed by large datasets. Recent subsampling techniques have shown notable computational gains for data dominated by numerical predictors. However, real‐world datasets frequently contain both numerical and categorical predictors.

Compact Manifolds With Unbounded Nilpotent Fundamental Groups and Positive Ricci Curvature
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT It follows from the work of Kapovitch and Wilking that a closed manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature has a uniformly almost nilpotent fundamental group. Leftover questions and conjectures, have asked if in this context the fundamental group is actually uniformly almost abelian. The main goal of this work is to construct examples (Mk9,gk)$(

Some applications of generalized Ruscheweyh derivatives involving a general fractional derivative operator to a class of analytic functions with negative coefficients I [PDF]
Surveys in Mathematics and its Applications, 2010 For certain univalent function f, we study a class of functions f as defined by making use of the generalized Ruscheweyh derivatives involving a general fractional derivative operator, satisfying Re { (zJ1λ, μ f(z))')/((1 -γ) J1λ, μ f(z) + γ z2(J1λ, μ f ...

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Aluminum‐enhanced afterburning renders AE explosives more hazardous than conventional ones. Corrugated steel linings reduce far‐field AE blast overpressure by ~50% through wave reflection and dissipation. The developed model accurately predicts peak pressure (<10% error) and arrival time (<3% error), supporting protective design.

Generalizations of Kochen and Specker's Theorem and the Effectiveness of Gleason's Theorem [PDF]
, 2003 Kochen and Specker's theorem can be seen as a consequence of Gleason's theorem and logical compactness. Similar compactness arguments lead to stronger results about finite sets of rays in Hilbert space, which we also prove by a direct construction ...
