From Green Governance to Biodiversity Strategy: The Role of Environmentally Experienced Directors in Chinese Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how directors with environmental protection (EP) backgrounds influence corporate biodiversity concern (BIO) among Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2008 to 2023. Drawing on Upper Echelons Theory, we argue that directors' environmental expertise shapes firms' biodiversity strategies.

Connecting Thoughts and Actions: A Managerial Process Model on Circular Business Model Innovation

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Addressing environmental grand challenges such as resource scarcity requires circular business model innovation (CBMI) that enables firms to efficiently close and slow resource cycles through novel activity systems. Drawing on a grounded theory approach based on 59 in‐depth interviews with top managers from Swiss SMEs, we developed a process ...

Internationalization and ESG Controversies: Do Foreign Directors on Corporate Boards Matter?

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the relationship between internationalization and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) controversies, focusing on whether foreign directors on corporate boards influence this relationship. Drawing on resource dependence theory, we argue that internationalization increases ESG controversies due to the complexity of ...

Oxidative Fast Pyrolysis Enabling Autothermal Production of Porous Functionalized Biochar and Anhydrosugar/Phenol‐Rich Bio‐Oil From Biomass

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Oxidative fast pyrolysis of biomass enables autothermal production of value‐added products. ABSTRACT Oxidative fast pyrolysis can potentially overcome the heat‐supply bottleneck of conventional fast pyrolysis by enabling autothermal operation while also tailoring product quality through controlled oxygen addition.

Interfacial adsorption characteristics of surfactant‐modified nanoparticles: Equilibrium and dynamic effects of salinity at the oil–water interface

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Surfactant‐modified nanoparticles adsorb at the oil–water interface, enabling interfacial stabilization and microemulsion formation. Abstract This study systematically investigated the interfacial behaviour of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and aluminium oxide (Al2O3) nanoparticles (NPs) functionalized with cationic (CTAB), anionic (SDS), and nonionic (Triton ...

Restricted Tweedie stochastic block models

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract The stochastic block model (SBM) is a widely used framework for community detection in networks, where the network structure is typically represented by an adjacency matrix. However, conventional SBMs are not directly applicable to an adjacency matrix that consists of nonnegative zero‐inflated continuous edge weights.

Rockburst prediction based on data preprocessing and hyperband‐RNN‐DNN

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A data preprocessing workflow is proposed to address challenges in rockburst data analysis. Coupled algorithms preprocess the data set, and hyperband optimization is used to enhance RNN performance. Results show that preprocessing improves accuracy, while dense layers enhance model stability and prediction performance.
