Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Inspired by insights gleaned from biomimicry theory, this paper addresses the persistent lack of theoretically grounded research in sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) and examines how nature‐inspired biomimicry principles could enhance various dimensions of its competitiveness. This study's theoretical contribution lies in its proposal

Finitary approximations of free probability, involving combinatorial representation theory [PDF]
, 2023 This thesis contributes to two theories which approximate free probability by finitary combinatorial structures. The first is finite free probability, which is concerned with expected characteristic polynomials of various random matrices and was ...

A Multi‐Objective Periodic Vehicle Routing Model for Sustainable Healthcare Waste Collection
The International Journal of Health Planning and Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The collection of infectious waste from healthcare facilities (HCF) constitutes a recurring operational challenge. Indeed, despite the inherent health risks posed by the storage and the transportation of infectious materials, most of the existing waste collection systems tends to prioritise cost optimization and to underaddress the safety ...

Free completely random measures [PDF]
Free probability is a noncommutative probability theory introduced by Voiculescu where the concept of independence of classical probability is replaced by the concept of freeness.

On bi-free probability and free entropy. [PDF]
, 2017 Free probability is a non-commutative analogue of probability theory. Recently, Voiculescu has introduced bi-free probability, a theory which aims to study simultaneously "left" and "right" non-commutative random variables, such as those arising from the

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Regional heavy rainfall events (RHREs) in Guangdong, South China, during 1961–2025 are reassessed using an improved strength index that integrates rainfall intensity, spatial extent and duration. Results reveal a post‐1991 shift towards more frequent and spatially extensive strong and extreme events, with June showing the most pronounced ...

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Digitalization and emerging technologies are increasing the demand for wireless sensing and the Internet of Things (IoT), which provide opportunities for autonomous sources of electricity in the form of energy harvesting systems. This paper focuses on the challenges in hybrid piezoelectric‐electromagnetic kinetic energy harvesting systems that

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The design of control systems for high‐agility mechanical systems operating in extreme environments is a significant challenge in nonlinear dynamics. This paper addresses the complex dynamic control problem of a hypersonic interceptor, modeled as a multi‐input multi‐output (MIMO) mechanical system characterized by strong aerodynamic cross ...

Random matrices, large deviations and reflected Brownian motion [PDF]
In this thesis we present results in large deviations theory, free probability and the theory of reflected Brownian motion. We study the large deviations behaviour of the block structure of a non-crossing partition chosen uniformly at random.

Nonprofit Governance and Financial Stability: A Study of Government‐Funded Social Services
Nonprofit Management and Leadership, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Nonprofit social service providers are essential in delivering vital services, often with public funding. This study adopts a contingency perspective to explore the relationship between organizational governance and financial stability in publicly funded nonprofit organizations. We use a combination of comparative multilevel analysis (CMA) and
