ESG Controversies in Global Firms: A Black Mark?

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite increasing attention paid by companies to sustainability, there is still evidence of environmental, social and governance (commonly referred to as ESG) scandals. As research on this topic is scant, this paper aims to analyse the impact of ESG controversies on firms' sustainability practices, that is, ESG policies, as well as ...

WSPLK: A systematic approach to the thermodynamic characterization of light and heavy Mexican crude oil

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract A streamlined characterization framework (WSPLK) is presented for modelling complex reservoir fluids using cubic equations of state. The key methodological contribution is the introduction of a single global parameter ε directly into Pedersen's boiling‐point correlation, restoring pure‐component calibration and eliminating the need for ...

Experimental methods in chemical engineering: Magnetometry

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Magnetometry is a non‐invasive technique to characterize the behaviour of magnetic materials of which the most common contain Fe, Co, and Ni. Vibrating sample magnetometers (VSMs) vibrate samples at a fixed frequency in a static, homogeneous magnetic field to induce a voltage in pick up coils according to Faraday's law of induction.

Local units and Gauss sums

Journal of Number Theory, 2003
Let \(F\) be an abelian number field containing a primitive root of unity \(\zeta _ p\) with Galois group \(\Lambda = {\text{Gal}} (F/{\mathbb Q})\) over \(\mathbb Q\). For a fixed prime number \(p\), let \(F _ \infty\) denote the cyclotomic \({\mathbb Z} _ p\) extension of \(F\), where \({\mathbb Z}_ p\) denotes the ring of \(p\)-adic numbers.

Nonlinear permuted Granger causality

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Granger causality is an established, contentious method that seeks causal temporal connections via association and precedence. While not true causal inference, it assists in mapping networks of information flow that may warrant further study.

Governance Drivers of Fossil Fuel Divestment: Evidence From Global Banks

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses increasing transition risks for the banking sector, as financial institutions remain exposed to fossil fuel activities despite growing sustainability commitments. This study examines whether corporate governance influences banks' decisions to adopt fossil fuel divestment policies.

Coupling Fluid Neutrals to Gyrokinetic Plasma Dynamics for Edge and SOL Turbulence Simulations

Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate modeling of turbulent transport in magnetic confinement fusion devices requires extending first‐principles gyrokinetic simulations from the core to the edge and scrape‐off layer (SOL), where additional physics—particularly plasma–neutrals interactions—must be included.

Phase-Pole-Free Images and Smooth Coil Sensitivity Maps by Regularized Nonlinear Inversion. [PDF]

Magn Reson Med
ABSTRACT Purpose Phase singularities are a common problem in image reconstruction with auto‐calibrated sensitivities due to an inherent ambiguity of the estimation problem. The purpose of this work is to develop a method for detecting and correcting phase poles in non‐linear inverse (NLINV) reconstruction of MR images and coil sensitivity maps ...

Toward Safer and Sustainable Lithium Metal Batteries: Fluorine‐Free Solid Polymer Electrolytes

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
An analysis to assess the impact of fluorine in polymer electrolyte‐based lithium metal batteries has been conducted. It has been demonstrated that fluorine‐free LiTIM salt delivers a electrochemical performance similar to that of its fluorinated analogue salts, given the complete lithium dissociation in coordination with PEO and the restricted anion ...

A low complexity ZF precoding scheme based on weighted Gauss-Seidel in massive MIMO systems

Dianxin kexue, 2019
In massive MIMO systems,due to inversion of Hermitian matrix,the complexity of the traditional ZF precoding method increases exponentially with increase of the number of users.To solve this problem,a low complexity digital ZF precoding scheme based on ...
