Computational fluid dynamics simulations of airflow through the nasal passages of rhinolophoid bats
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The nasal passages of bats that emit their echolocation call through their nostrils have adapted for sound emission as well as standard respiratory and olfactory functions. Rhinolophids, hipposiderids and rhinonycterids all use a high duty cycle (HDC) echolocation strategy.

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 ...

From Oscillatory Integrals and Sublevel Sets to Polynomial Congruences and Character Sums [PDF]
, 2010 We present a slight extension of a classical lemma of Hensel and give various applications to polynomial congruences and character sums; in particular, we give a new proof of a classical result of Hua on complete exponential sums.

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 ...

Explicit formulas for Hecke Gauss sums in quadratic number fields
, 2010 We derive an explicit formula for Hecke Gauss sums of quadratic number fields. As an immediate consequence we obtain a quadratic reciprocity law in quadratic number fields which generalizes the classical one given by Hecke. The proofs use, apart from the

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.

Compact Manifolds With Unbounded Nilpotent Fundamental Groups and Positive Ricci Curvature
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT It follows from the work of Kapovitch and Wilking that a closed manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature has a uniformly almost nilpotent fundamental group. Leftover questions and conjectures, have asked if in this context the fundamental group is actually uniformly almost abelian. The main goal of this work is to construct examples (Mk9,gk)$(

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.

One kind power mean of the hybrid Gauss sums
Open Mathematics, 2018 In this paper, we use the analysis method and the properties of trigonometric sums to study the computational problem of one kind power mean of the hybrid Gauss sums. After establishing some relevant lemmas, we give an exact computational formula for it.
