A Review of The Models of Land Development Process: The Structure Models [PDF]

, 1996
This is the final part of a three series paper reviewing the models Df land development process. One aspect which is lacking in all the three types of models discussed earlier is the focus on the way the production of the built environment is influenced ...

Barriers and Enablers of Circular Economy in Electrical and Electronic Equipment: A Systematic Literature Review

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rapid technological change, shorter lifecycles and rising demand for electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) are increasing waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and emphasise the need for a circular economy. This paper identifies barriers and enablers of the circular transition in EEE and outlines interventions.

Powering Transparency: Global Drivers of Sustainability Reporting in the Electricity Sector

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine the drivers of sustainability reporting quality (QSR), conceptualised along two complementary dimensions, relevance and reliability, to assess how firm‐level attributes and institutional conditions jointly shape disclosure practices in the electricity sector.

Boards of Directors That Transform: A Study on How Specific Architectural Components Drive ESG Performance

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores the potential influence of key components of the board of directors' architecture on ESG outcomes. Specifically, we focus on the effects of demographic components (gender and cultural diversity), structural and compositional factors (size, CEO‐Chair separation, and the presence of independent/non‐executive directors), and ...

Decay of Correlations in Fermi Systems at Non-zero Temperature

, 2004
The locality of correlation functions is considered for Fermi systems at non-zero temperature. We show that for all short-range, lattice Hamiltonians, the correlation function of any two fermionic operators decays exponentially with a correlation length ...

Dynamic tensile strength and fracture evolution of characteristic shale with bedding and hole using linear regression theory

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The spiral conical perforations generated during methane in situ explosion fracturing operations lead to tensile fracture propagation in shale reservoirs being governed by the combined effects of impact pressure, bedding, and aperture under explosive loading. Using multiple regression analysis and digital image correlation technology, the mechanisms of

Assessment of Voltage Unbalance and Power Losses in Distribution Network Integrated With PVs and EV Charging Stations

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Unequal load distribution in three‐phase power distribution networks leads to voltage unbalance and decreased network efficiency. Integration of photovoltaics (PVs) and electric vehicle charging stations (EVCSs) into such networks is a challenging task as their penetration affects the power quality of the system.

Family of solvable generalized random-matrix ensembles with unitary symmetry

, 2005
We construct a very general family of characteristic functions describing Random Matrix Ensembles (RME) having a global unitary invariance, and containing an arbitrary, one-variable probability measure which we characterize by a `spread function ...
