Assessing Climate Change Disclosure and Its Governance Drivers: Insights From the European Utilities Sector

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aims to enhance academic understanding of the factors influencing the disclosure practices of climate change among European utility companies, specifically in the context of their sustainability reporting. The primary objective is to explore, through a multi‐theoretical framework, the governance drivers that significantly affect the

Improving flow structure and natural convection within fin spacings of plate fin heat sinks

, 2020
The main objectives of this thesis are to numerically investigate the previously observed recirculation zones and longitudinal vortices that occur in low fin height plate finned horizontal heat sinks and to improve the flow structures and heat transfer in these zones using various approaches with the help of simulations performed using commercially ...

No Charging but Protection: Lifetime Prolongation of Spontaneously‐polarized Electrets for Energy Harvesting Applications

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A bilayer protection approach is proposed for slowing down the surface potential decay of thin films of spontaneously‐polarized electret materials. The electret and the protective films are characterized, and the protection effectiveness is investigated under the effects of light illumination, water contact and mechanical impact.

Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

Governing Within the Constraints of Carbon Budgets: Regional Insights From Sweden

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Staying within the limits of a rapidly shrinking global carbon budget while avoiding dependency on negative emissions technologies and carbon dioxide removal remains a significant challenge in a multi‐level governance system, where resources and responsibilities are dispersed among different actors.

Stress Redistribution Mechanisms and Subsidence Control of Fluidized Gangue Backfilling in Underground Coal Mining: Integrated Experimental and Numerical Investigation

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Fluidized gangue backfilling controls mining subsidence through stress redistribution in composite backfill‐pillar systems, reducing surface settlement and stress concentrations. Multi‐scale experimental and numerical analysis provides quantitative design parameters for optimizing ground control in sustainable underground coal mining operations ...
