Mass Functions in Fractal Clouds: The Role of Cloud Structure in the Stellar Initial Mass Function [PDF]
, 2010 The possibility that the stellar initial mass function (IMF) arises mostly from cloud structure is investigated with fractal Brownian motion (fBm) clouds that have power-law power spectra. An fBm cloud with a realistic projected power spectrum slope of $\

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Drawing on comparative institutional theory, we study the nature and magnitude of the effects of national environmental policies on corporate green innovation in developed versus emerging markets. Using a sample of 1831 listed firms in 34 countries from 2002 to 2020, we find that national environmental policies increase corporate green ...

On the Origin of the Salpeter Slope for the Initial Mass Function [PDF]
, 2011 We suggest that the intrinsic, stellar initial mass function (IMF) follows a power-law slope gamma=2, inherited from hierarchical fragmentation of molecular clouds into clumps and clumps into stars.

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigated whether superior environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices enhance corporate value and market efficiency under various economic theories. Using a multi‐country panel of 31 economies from 2015 to 2022, we find that both ESG performance and disclosure improve intrinsic value and mitigate equity misvaluation ...

Fifty Years of IMF Variation: The Intermediate-Mass Stars
, 2004 I track the history of star count estimates of the Milky Way field star and open cluster IMFs, concentrating on the neglected mass range from 1 to 15 M${_\odot}$.

Radial variations in the stellar initial mass function of early-type galaxies [PDF]
, 2014 The hypothesis of a universal initial mass function (IMF) -- motivated by observations in nearby stellar systems -- has been recently challenged by the discovery of a systematic variation of the IMF with the central velocity dispersion, {\sigma}, of ...

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.

Board Gender Diversity and Environmental Credit Risk in Banking: A Global Study of Bank Governance
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates the relationship between board gender diversity and environmental credit risk in the global banking sector. Using a panel dataset of 345 publicly listed banks from 75 countries over the period 2018–2022, we find that greater female representation on bank boards is significantly associated with lower environmental credit

Remote Sensing, 2022 This study presents a novel method to identify optically deep water using purely spectral approaches. Optically deep waters, where the seabed is too deep for a bottom reflectance signal to be returned, is uninformative for seabed mapping.

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The United States (U.S.) faces challenges in achieving its ambitious net‐zero carbon emissions target by 2050, with current emissions having fallen by less than 1% in 2024. Despite an investment of $500 billion in low‐carbon resources while holding the second‐largest green technology patent portfolio globally, it is further imperative to ...
