When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

Influence of Particle Size, Moisture, and Cloud Density on Wood Dust Ignition

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
The ignition and combustion of particle clouds are strongly affected by particle interactions. This study uses spectroscopy to examine effects of particle size, water content, and cloud density. Results show ignition delay rises with larger size and density, whereas combustion duration depends mainly on water and density due to moisture‐driven ...

Front Propagation Through a Perforated Wall

Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We consider a bistable reaction– diffusion equation ut=Δu+f(u)$u_t=\Delta u +f(u)$ on RN${\mathbb {R}}^N$ in the presence of an obstacle K$K$, which is a wall of infinite span with many holes. More precisely, K$K$ is a closed subset of RN${\mathbb {R}}^N$ with smooth boundary such that its projection onto the x1$x_1$‐axis is bounded and that ...

Orchestrating Green Transformation: How AI Adoption Enables Corporate Carbon Neutrality

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As carbon neutrality has become a central goal of global climate governance, how firms achieve low‐carbon transformation has emerged as a critical research issue. However, prior studies have primarily focused on macro‐ or industry‐level analyses, offering limited and fragmented insights into how digital technologies—particularly AI—affect firm‐
