PERFORMATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL LAW
The Modern Law ReviewPerformative law is law ‘just for show’. Where the law expresses a commitment to targets, objectives and aspirations which are, in a strict sense, legally binding, but which are ultimately hard to formally enforce, it can take on a highly symbolic or gestural appearance. Environmental law is particularly vulnerable to performativity. This is because of

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.We develop a data‐driven method to derive the mathematical expressions of the Flory–Huggins interaction parameter χ for the swelling behavior of temperature–responsive hydrogels. Starting from initial assumptions of χ, our workflow combines Bayesian optimization, Flory–Rehner theory, and symbolic regression to generate candidate χ expressions.

Environmental Obligations of Transnational Corporations in International Environmental Law [PDF]
Faṣlnāmah-i Pizhūhish-i Huqūq-i ̒Umūmī, 2015 One of the most controversial issues about transnational corporations is their environmental performance, sometimes leading to irreparable damages. This issue has been the concern for many developing countries, as the capital importing countries, and the

Six Principles for Integrating Non-Governmental Environmental Standards into Smart Regulation
Osgoode Hall Law Journal, 2008 Ontario recently introduced environmental penalties (EPs), the environmental equivalent of speeding tickets. EPs are widely understood as part of a move toward "smarter" environmental regulation.

Creep‐Induced Microstructural Evolution in an A2‐B2 Superalloy
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A 27.3Ta‐27.3Mo‐27.3Ti‐8Cr‐10Al (at.%) refractory high‐entropy alloy with precipitation‐strengthened A2‐B2 microstructure was studied by creep tests at 1030°C, which demonstrate a transition in deformation mechanisms in the range of 100–150 MPa applied stress. This is associated with changes in dislocation–precipitate interactions. Relevant deformation

, 2013 The increasing role played by transnational corporations (TNCs) in the international arena, and especially the impact of their activities on the environment, necessitates the establishment of a coherent framework for the treatment of TNCs.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Do not let thermal drift and instrument artifacts deceive high‐temperature nanoindentation results. We compare classical Oliver–Pharr and automatic image recognition analyses across steels and a Ni alloy to quantify these effects. Accounting for artifacts reveals systematic softening with temperature, while Cr and Ni additions boost resistance ...

Reflections on methods from an interdisciplinary research project in global environmental law [PDF]
, 2019 This research note reflects on the methods (as distinct from methodology) used in a five-year interdisciplinary and multi-site research project in global environmental law, and their links to questions of research ethics.

Osgoode Hall Law Journal, 1994 This paper contrasts two paradigms of environmental regulatory decision making, "permissive regulation" and "preventative design," with respect to their treatment of scientific and legal uncertainty and the allocation of legal standards and burdens of ...
