Whose Sustainability Counts? Board Governance, ESG Ratings, and Sustainable Development Goals: Evidence on the ESG–SDG Wedge

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Institutional investors increasingly rely on ESG ratings to evaluate financially material sustainability risks, while governments promote corporate alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Because these frameworks differ substantially in capital market salience and monitoring intensity, board oversight may not ...

Occurrence of severe slugging in oil production lines and mitigation methods: A numerical simulation approach using ALFAsim®

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Severe slugging represents a major challenge in offshore production systems, potentially compromising operational stability and the integrity of installations. Although established simulators such as OLGA® are widely used for its analysis, there is a gap in the literature regarding the application of the one‐dimensional simulator ALFAsim® for ...

Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors [PDF]

, 2005
Low temperature detectors have been a subject of intense interest to the scientific community over the last decade. These detectors work at very low temperatures, often well below 1 Kelvin, to minimize the noise in the measurement of photons.

Large droplet release

Droplet, EarlyView.
Curved hydrophobic mesh surfaces enable stable release of large droplets exceeding the capillary length. By tuning surface curvature, porosity, and acceleration, oscillatory breakup is suppressed, producing near‐spherical droplets ideal for high‐precision fluid applications and multiphase flow control.

Rock mechanical properties under reconstructed deep in situ thermo–hydro–mechanical conditions: Implications for CO₂‐related injection scenarios

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract illustrates a reconstructed in situ thermo‐hydro‐mechanical (THM) framework in which porosity serves as the central variable linking stress, pore pressure, and temperature to evolving mechanical properties of rocks. Under burial conditions, in situ stress, pore pressure, and temperature jointly govern volumetric strain and ...

Numerical and Experimental Evaluation of a Simplified Lateral Spring Formulation for Rocking Structures

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rocking podium isolation systems have gained significant research interest as a method of limiting seismic demands on superstructures and eliminating residual post‐earthquake drifts through self‐centring behaviour. However, while numerous models of varying complexity, including analytical, phenomenological, and physical formulations, have been

Biomineralization of primary carbonate cements: a new biosignature in the fossil record from the Anisian of Southern Italy

Lethaia, EarlyView., 2021
Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

Complex Versus Parsimonious Site‐Based Stochastic Ground Motion Models: Which One Is Better?

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stochastic ground motion models (GMMs) provide a probabilistic representation of seismic input and are increasingly important for uncertainty quantification (UQ) in earthquake engineering. This study focuses on site‐based stochastic GMMs, which learn the statistical features of selected datasets of seismic records and generate statistically ...

An Intensity Measure‐Based Methodology for Ground Motion Orientation in Seismic Structural Assessment

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In current dynamic time history assessment protocols, ground motion recordings are mostly oriented along fixed sensor directions. Consequently, the orientation of the principal resultant of rupture energy, which may control the maximum structural demand, remains undefined, precluding consistent correlation with physically detrimental ...

Displacement Estimation of Structures With Flag‐Shaped Hysteresis Loops

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Time‐history analyses were conducted on single‐degree‐of‐freedom (SDOF) systems with flag‐shaped hysteresis loops using a far‐field ground motion suite to estimate peak displacements, Δp, and equivalent deformation cycles, Nc, associated with cumulative displacement demands.
