Exploring the Interrelationships Among Supply Chain Emissions, Financial Performance, Market Value, and Board Sustainability: An Exploration of the European Landscape

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT National and supranational institutions are establishing emission trading systems and control schemes in an attempt to manage stakeholders' willingness to engage with regulatory systems and reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Nonetheless, despite the national and supranational focus on carbon neutrality, little research has been centered ...

The Lagrange Multiplier Method for Dirichlet's Problem [PDF]

Mathematics of Computation, 1981
The Lagrange multiplier method of Babuška for the approximate solution of Dirichlet’s problem for second order elliptic equations is reformulated. Based on this formulation, new estimates for the error in the solution and the boundary flux are given. Efficient methods for the solution of the approximate problem are discussed.

Exploring Sustainability Reporting Practices in an Emerging Market: Insights From Corporate Governance and Disclosure Tone

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The study examines how narrative disclosure tones (NDTs) and corporate governance mechanisms (CGMs) affect sustainability reporting practices (SRP) in an emerging economy. Data from 125 non‐financial firms in Pakistan, spanning 2011–2022, are utilized. SRP is measured using both GRI and the novel IFRS S1 standards‐based indices. Three NDTs are

A safe reinforcement learning approach for autonomous navigation of mobile robots in dynamic environments

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract When deploying mobile robots in real‐world scenarios, such as airports, train stations, hospitals, and schools, collisions with pedestrians are intolerable and catastrophic. Motion safety becomes one of the most fundamental requirements for mobile robots.

Study on fracture parameter calibration and failure characteristics of rock with hole and crack

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The SIF and plastic zone equations for a single hole and crack have been derived. The model's failure state leads to the identification of four types of cracks. The plastic zone increases with increased brittleness and decreased crack length. Abstract Cracks within the surrounding rock of roadways significantly affect their stability and failure ...

Biophysical processes of morphogenesis in lizard lungs

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The lungs of squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes) are highly diverse, exhibiting single chambers, multiple chambers, transitional forms with two to three chambers, along with a suite of other anatomical features, including finger‐like epithelial projections into the body cavity known as diverticulae.

Developing a macroecology for human‐altered ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Although anthropogenically‐induced ecological disruptions are fundamentally important in defining ecosystem properties, they are largely overlooked by macroecological theory. Anthropogenic disruptions and their effects are generally not comparable to one another, nor to disturbances that are part of natural disturbance regimes.

An Active-Set Algorithm for Convex Quadratic Programming Subject to Box Constraints with Applications in Non-Linear Optimization and Machine Learning

Mathematics
A quadratic programming problem with positive definite Hessian subject to box constraints is solved, using an active-set approach. Convex quadratic programming (QP) problems with box constraints appear quite frequently in various real-world applications.

Lagrange Multiplier Method for Convex Programs [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1975
The problem of minimizing a convex function that is subject to the constraint that a number of other convex functions be nonpositive can be treated by the Lagrange multiplier method. Such a treatment was revived by Kuhn and Tucker and further studied by many other scientists.
