Evaluating the Role of Social Capital for the Design of Sustainable River Governance Strategies: The Case of Tagus River

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the role of social capital in designing and implementing more effective governance strategies to improve the state of the Tagus River's significantly deteriorated middle reach (Spain). We employed social network analysis (SNA) to evaluate the bonding, bridging and linking social capital and the quality of stakeholder ...

Geodesics without conjugate points and curvatures at infinity

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2000
We study the asymptotic behavior of curvature and prove that the integral of curvature along a geodesic without conjugate points is nonpositive and some generalizations of Myers theorem and Cohn-Vossen's theorem. Some applications are also given.

Generation of an optimal triangulated irregular network for topographic surface via optimal transport theory

open access: yesGeo-spatial Information Science
A digital elevation model (DEM) is widely recognized as the most effective digital representation of the Earth’s surface and serves as the fundamental platform for simulating various Earth systems. Extensive efforts have been devoted to exploring methods

The coevolution of board interlock networks and corporate strategic actions

open access: yesStrategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Studies on board interlock networks are divided into two streams, one examining their dynamics; the other, their consequences. We propose that both phenomena—board interlock dynamics and consequences—are interdependent. Applying structuration theory, we explain and empirically demonstrate how firms' corporate strategic actions

Experimental investigation on the cracking process of primary and secondary cracks in thick concrete members

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The decisive reinforcement of thick concrete members is often determined by the minimum reinforcement for crack control due to restraint stresses. In contrast to the heuristic design model in Eurocode 2, a mechanically sound methodology is only provided if the deformation compatibility is considered.

A new smooth failure criterion for concrete inspired by Lubliner's condition

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract A new failure criterion with 10 parameters is proposed, based on Lubliner's idea of joining two Drucker–Prager cones. The novelty lies in the way of introducing deviatoric shape variation: through two Podgórski's functions. This feature allows for improving plane stress cross‐section's compatibility with experimental data.
