The Impact of Impact Investing
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021 We evaluate the quantitative impact of ESG divestitures. For divestitures to have impact they must change the cost of capital of affected firms. We derive a simple expression for the change in the cost of capital as a function of three inputs: (1) the fraction of socially conscious capital, (2) the fraction of targeted firms in the economy and (3) the ...

ON IMPACT AND IMPACT FACTORS [PDF]
International Journal of Technology Assessment in Health Care, 2018 TheInternational Journal of Technology Assessment in Health Care(IJTAHC) is part of the so-called Cambridge Core, the “home of academic content” (1). As such, not surprisingly, it is judged by standard scientific standards such as theJournal’s Impact Factor (IF). Although on the rise, there is still significant room for improvement (2).

Beam-Induced Damage Mechanisms and their Calculation [PDF]
, 2016 The rapid interaction of highly energetic particle beams with matter induces dynamic responses in the impacted component. If the beam pulse is sufficiently intense, extreme conditions can be reached, such as very high pressures, changes of material ...

Impact, not impact factor [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015 When the English philosopher Herbert Spencer introduced the phrase “survival of the fittest” in 1864, he could not have imagined that it would summarize the plight of young scientists years later (1). As competition for coveted faculty appointments and research funding continues to intensify, today’s researchers face relentless pressure to publish in ...

Are we using the most appropriate methodologies to assess the sensitivity of rainforest biodiversity to habitat disturbance? [PDF]
, 2018 Accurately assessing how biodiversity responds in the Anthropocene is vital. To do so, a number of indicator taxa are commonly used to monitor human-impacted forests and the subsequent recovery of their biodiversity.

3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing, 2022 This article introduces the concept of Impact Printing, a new additive manufacturing (AM) method that aggregates malleable discrete elements (or soft particles) by a robotic shooting process. The bonding between the soft particles stems from the transformation of kinetic energy, gained during the acceleration phase, into plastic deformation upon impact.

Impact beyond the impact factor [PDF]
Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2013 The journal impact factor is an annually calculated number for each scientific journal, based on the average number of times its articles published in the two preceding years have been cited. It was originally devised as a tool for librarians and publishers to provide information about the citation performance of a journal as a whole, but over the last

Drivers of Microbial Risk for Direct Potable Reuse and de Facto Reuse Treatment Schemes: The Impacts of Source Water Quality and Blending. [PDF]
, 2017 Although reclaimed water for potable applications has many potential benefits, it poses concerns for chemical and microbial risks to consumers. We present a quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) Monte Carlo framework to compare a de facto water ...

Contribution of the antibiotic chloramphenicol and its analogues as precursors of dichloroacetamide and other disinfection byproducts in drinking water [PDF]
, 2015 Dichloroacetamide (DCAcAm), a disinfection byproduct, has been detected in drinking water. Previous research showed that amino acids may be DCAcAm precursors. However, other precursors may be present.
