Poseidon's Sanctuary at Samikon—The Discovery of an Ancient Temple Through an Integrated Geophysical and Geoarchaeological Survey Approach for Lagoonal and Swampy Environments

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Below the classical fortress of Samikon at the coast of the western Peloponnese, ancient writer Strabo mentioned a sanctuary of Poseidon which served as the centre of the religious association of the Triphylian cities. In this paper, we describe the discovery and investigation of a building structure by means of geophysical and ...

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

Influence of Vibration Isolator Failure on Vehicle Operation Performance and Floating Slab Track Structure Vibration Reduction Effectiveness

Shock and Vibration, 2019
At present, steel-spring floating slabs have been widely used in urban rail transit to reduce the influence of ground vibration caused by vehicle operation on the surrounding environment. As a core part of vibration reduction for floating slab track, the

Observation and Simulation of Axle Box Acceleration in the Presence of Rail Weld in High-Speed Railway

Applied Sciences, 2017
Rail welds are widely used in high-speed railways and short-wave irregularities usually appear due to limitations in welding technology. These irregularities can excite a high wheel/rail force and are regarded as the main cause of deterioration in track ...

Railway superstructure for high-speed rails

Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2021
The construction of the track is solved as a conventional (with track ballast) or as a ballastless track (without track ballast). When deciding on the choice of the most suitable track design for high-speed rail, it is necessary to emphasize that with increasing line speed, the requirements for the quality of the track geometry increase, including the ...

Communication of Business‐Nonprofit Collaborations and Environmental Legitimacy: Exploratory Insights From Italian Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Collaborations with nonprofits can enhance firms' legitimacy, yet the relationship between their communication and corporate environmental legitimacy remains poorly understood. Furthermore, research lacks an analysis of the communication of business‐nonprofit collaborations through multiple actors' perspectives.

Corporate ESG Greenwashing: Does Regulatory Proximity Matter?

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) greenwashing undermines sustainable development, yet the influence of regulatory proximity on oversight is understudied. By introducing the “distance decay effect” from geoeconomics into ESG misconduct research and using a sample of Chinese listed firms from 2009 to 2022, this study reveals a ...
