Evaluation and Optimization of COD Removal Performance for a Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plant by Response Surface Methodology: The Case of Van Muradiye

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, the performance of the Van Muradiye Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plant was evaluated with Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The effects of pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen (DO), and suspended solids (SS) on the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency were evaluated using samples collected from the plant's inlet and ...

Breaking point: Identifying the factors that predict suspension from school

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract School suspensions are associated with adverse educational and psychosocial outcomes, yet little is known about how structural disadvantage, relational factors, health behaviours, well‐being indicators and school‐level factors jointly predict suspension risk in England.

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Do Governance Structures Drive Green Building Adoption? A Machine Learning Approach With Random Forests

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the determinants of firms' propensity to adopt green buildings in the Euro Stoxx 300 and the S&P 500 indices, during 2012–2023. Using random forest binary classifiers, we assess the relative importance of financial, sectoral, geographic, and climate governance predictors and uncover nonlinear relationships often overlooked ...

Generating functions and short recursions, with applications to the moments of quadratic forms in noncentral normal vectors [PDF]

Using generating functions, the top-order zonal polynomials that occur in much distribution theory under normality can be recursively related to other symmetric functions (power-sum and elementary symmetric functions, Ruben, Hillier, Kan, and Wang ...

Using Machine Learning to Predict Corporate Environmental Violation: A Stakeholder Pressure Perspective

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Predicting corporate environmental violations remains a key challenge in practice and in environmental governance research. However, existing studies have largely focused on ex post associations between stakeholder pressures and realized environmental violations, offering limited insight into whether stakeholder pressures can be used ex ante ...

Beyond the Board: Does CEO‐CFO Tenure Staggering Curb ESG Greenwashing?

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Greenwashing threatens the credibility of corporate environmental strategies and ESG disclosure by creating a disconnect between symbolic claims and substantive action. Existing research mainly focuses on external pressures and formal governance mechanisms, with limited attention to the relational structure of the top management team ...

Ensemble‐based soil liquefaction assessment: Leveraging CPT data for enhanced predictions

Civil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 23-35, March 2025.
Abstract This study focuses on predicting soil liquefaction, a critical phenomenon that can significantly impact the stability and safety of structures during seismic events. Accurate liquefaction assessment is vital for geotechnical engineering, as it informs the design and mitigation strategies needed to safeguard infrastructure and reduce the risk ...

Application of dynamic modelling and model‐based predictive control to enhance a cooling tower

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Model predictive control (MPC) applied to improve the operation of cooling towers. Abstract Model predictive control (MPC) differs from traditional feedback control by making predictions within a time horizon, providing better control actions for the process.
