Circular Transitions in Healthcare Waste Management in Vietnam: An Institutional Perspective

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Healthcare waste management (HCWM) is a growing environmental and public health concern. This study explores how the institutional pressures that shape HCWM practices evolve toward circularity through coercive, normative, and mimetic isomorphisms and how these mechanisms influence organisational behaviour in Vietnam, a complex, highly ...

Toward a repository for high-level radioactive waste: Perspectives and approaches

TATuP – Zeitschrift für Technikfolgenabschätzung in Theorie und Praxis, 2022
The future is unpredictable. Under these circumstances, how can we plan and construct a nuclear waste repository that is supposed to safely store the waste for up to a million years – an endeavor that may in itself take more than a hundred years?

Status and future of recombinant adeno‐associated virus vector manufacturing

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
Abstract Sixty years of adeno‐associated virus (AAV) research illustrates a trajectory marked by basic science exploration, iterative innovation, persistent challenges, a number of clinical setbacks, as well as commercial therapeutic triumphs. This continual evolution has led to recombinant AAV (rAAV) becoming a cornerstone of modern gene therapy ...

Peroxodisulfate‐Enhanced Leaching of Deep‐Sea Manganese Crusts and Sulfides

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
Ammonium peroxodisulfate enables efficient leaching of deep‐sea manganese crusts and massive sulfides while offering electrolytic recycling. High leaching yields for V, Mn, Co, Mo, Sn, and W, along with complete leaching of As and Sb, highlight its potential as a powerful and sustainable oxidant for marine resource processing.

Bürgerbeteiligung im langfristigen Endlagerungsprozess: Künftige Aufgaben und angemessene Beteiligungsformen

TATuP – Zeitschrift für Technikfolgenabschätzung in Theorie und Praxis, 2022
The central importance of public participation in the search for a repository site for high-level radioactive waste is already recognized both in Germany and in other countries. In this paper, we argue that public participation will have to play a role

Regulatory Convergence and Divergence in ESG Reporting in the Indo‐Pacific Region

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting has evolved significantly globally over the past few decades. Many countries are now signatories to international agreements such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement, with increasing commitments to emissions reduction targets and the

Creep constitutive model considering nonlinear creep degradation of fractured rock

International Journal of Mining Science and Technology
Stability analysis of underground constructions requires a model study of rock masses’ long-term performance. Creep tests under different stress conditions was conducted on intact granite and granite samples fractured at 30° and 45° angles.

Permeability of granite from a shallow buried mountain pipe gallery tunnel under unloading confining pressure

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Triaxial compression tests under unloading confining pressure conditions were conducted to systematically analyze the permeability behavior of granite retrieved from the different classification surrounding rocks. Abstract The rock mass within mountain tunnels undergoes complex changes in permeability, strength, and deformation during tunneling ...

Impact of physical heterogeneity on hydro-mechanical behaviors in full-scale buffer blocks for HLRW repositories

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
Compacted bentonite blocks are proposed for buffer barriers in deep geological repositories for high-level radioactive waste (HLRW) disposal. These blocks, manufactured through uniaxial compression in molds, exhibit heterogeneity that may impact long ...
