Environmental Management Control Systems and Environmental and Economic Performance: Do Country Characteristics Matter?

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using an integrated framework that combines the natural resource‐based view with contingency theory, this study examines how environmental management control systems (EMCS) build multinational firms' environmental capabilities and balance their environmental and economic performance while accounting for cross‐country contextual conditions.

Emergence of Institutional Isomorphism in the Environmental, Social, and Governance Performance of European Banks

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates whether institutional isomorphism contributes to the convergence of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance among 230 banks in the European Union and the European Free Trade Association from 2011 to 2021.

Generalized Beth–Uhlenbeck Entropy Formula From the Φ‐Derivable Approach

open access: yesContributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We derive a generalized Beth–Uhlenbeck formula for the entropy of a dense fermion system with strong two‐particle correlations, including scattering states and bound states. We work within the Φ‐derivable approach to the thermodynamic potential.

Counterexample to "Generalized eigenvalue-based stability tests for 2D linear systems: Necessary and sufficient conditions"

open access: yes, 2009
We present a counterexample contradicting the equivalence of statements (i)-(ii) and (iii)-(v) of Theorem 1 of Fu, P., Chen, J., and S.I. Niculescu (2006).

A Weighted Low-Rank and Sparse Constraint-Based Multichannel Radar Forward-Looking Imaging Method

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Radar super-resolution imaging methods with joint low-rank and sparse constraints have garnered increasing attention. However, in complex imaging scenarios, the low-rank property of the signal matrix is often not prominent, which limits the performance ...

Adomian's Decomposition Method for Eigenvalue Problems

open access: yes, 2012
[[abstract]]We extend the Adomian’s decomposition method to work for the general eigenvalue problems, in addition to the existing applications of the method to boundary and initial value problems with nonlinearity.

Climate‐driven resource availability drives medium‐ and broad‐scale temporal changes in owl–prey interactions over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Predator–prey interactions are vital to ecosystem functioning but may be disrupted by climate change. We investigated a food‐web network involving three owl species over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem at Bosque Fray Jorge National Park, Chile.

Harnessing Diversity: Majority‐Group Acculturation Predicts Creativity and Flourishing Over Time

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Creativity and flourishing are core aims of higher education (HE) institutions and government initiatives globally. Large‐scale projects have linked creativity and flourishing with cultural diversity, yet their associations with majority‐group acculturation (i.e., how members of dominant culture groups adopt minority‐cultural elements and/or ...

SINGULAR VALUE VERSUS EIGENVALUE DECOMPOSITION EFFICIENCY IN COMPUTING PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS FOR DIMENSIONALITY REDUCTION OF LARGE DATASETS

open access: yesScientific Journal of Gdynia Maritime University
Principal component analysis, being one of the best techniques for dimensionality reduction, is implemented by using one of the two high-accuracy algorithms: the singular value decomposition (SVD) and eigenvalue decomposition (EVD). The EVD is generally
