Transforming Procurement: The Dynamic Capabilities and Microfoundations to Buy Circular

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular Procurement (CP) integrates Circular Economy (CE) principles into purchasing decisions to close material loops and retain value across product life cycles. Yet, its adoption remains limited due to persistent barriers within procurement processes.

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.

In‐situ asphaltene capture with iron oxide nanoparticles in steam‐assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) for improved recovery and partial upgrading of bitumen

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Key improvements obtained by incorporating nanoparticles into a lab‐scale SAGD process configuration. The bar plots show enhanced oil recovery, reduced viscosity, and increased asphaltene adsorption in nanoparticle‐assisted scenarios compared with conventional SAGD.

Investigating the Cytoskeleton of DRGs Using Cryo‐Electron Microscopy and Deep Learning

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We describe a method for determining the ultrastructural organization of axons and varicosities of cultured dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo‐EM). Cryo‐EM reveals the dimensions, proximity, and overall organization of biological specimens in a near‐native state, avoiding artifacts of fixation and ...
