A Critical Analysis of Microsoft's Rhetoric and Reality of Sustainability Engagement

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study critically examines Microsoft's environmental, social and governance (ESG) rhetoric and operational reality, to offer insights that extend beyond conventional greenwashing or bluewashing. Drawing on over 20 years of Microsoft's sustainability reports (2003–2024), third‐party ESG evaluations and media investigations, it employs ...

Firms' Green Responses to Environmental Regulations: A Three‐Dimensional Concurrent Engineering Perspective

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates companies' responses to energy efficiency policies, focusing on mandatory and voluntary regulations that create a complex landscape for businesses to navigate. Using a sample of 1473 firms across 29 European countries (2002–2018), we explore the impact of legislation on green redesign—operationalized through ...

Influence of Carboxylate Ligand Variation on Structure, Magnetic Exchange, and Magnetocaloric Performance in Hexanuclear Gd(III) Complexes

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hexanuclear cyclic Gd(III) coordination compounds are promising candidates for magnetic and magnetocaloric applications, yet systematic series remain rare due to synthetic challenges. We report the synthesis and characterization of five new complexes with the general formula [Gd(H3bt)(carboxylate)]6, employing four different carboxylate ...

Structural and Biological Insights Into Copper(I) Phosphane Complexes With Boron‐Phenylated Poly(3‐(CF3)Pyrazolyl)‐ and Poly(6‐(CF3)‐2‐pyridyl)‐Borates

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
This study reports six new copper(I) complexes with unusual coordination and strong anticancer activity against a panel of human cancer cell lines derived from different solid tumors. The most active compounds outperform cisplatin, even in resistant cells, by inhibiting protein disulfide isomerase and inducing redox stress that triggers non‐apoptotic ...

Urothermal Synthesis of Luminescent Alkaline Earth MOFs

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The e‐murea derivative (1,3‐dimethylimidazolidin‐2‐one) was employed as solvent for the urothermal synthesis of a series of nine AE MOFs featuring luminescence in the crystalline state with remarkable quantum yields ranging from 0.45 to 0.84. ABSTRACT The urothermal approach in 1,3‐dimethylimidazolidin‐2‐one (e‐murea) was employed for the successful ...

An Adaptive Series-Dynamic-Resistor-Based Protection Scheme for Brushless Doubly- Fed Induction Generator Under Asymmetrical Fault Conditions

IEEE Access
Low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) is one of the most important criteria for integrating wind energy into the power grid. Based on grid connection codes, wind generators must remain connected during fault conditions.

Rethinking Climate Change on the Role of Human Power Generation, Alternative Perspectives, Potential Solutions, and a Plea for Action

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
All energy matters Let us broaden the discussion on solutions to climate change. Greenhouse gases have upset the delicate equilibrium of the Earth's energy balance. Consequently, all sources of heat affect the temperature of the Earth. Although the amount of additional heat generated by humans is a fraction of that produced by the sun, it is generated ...

A hidden Markov model and reinforcement learning‐based strategy for fault‐tolerant control

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study introduces a data‐driven control strategy integrating hidden Markov models (HMM) and reinforcement learning (RL) to achieve resilient, fault‐tolerant operation against persistent disturbances in nonlinear chemical processes. Called hidden Markov model and reinforcement learning (HMMRL), this strategy is evaluated in two case studies

A DFIG low- and High-Voltage cascading failure through strategy based on GSC and RSC joint control

International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems
In wind power DC transmission systems, commutation failures cause significant reactive power fluctuations at the direct current (DC) transmission end, leading to sequential changes in voltage from low to high and often causing wind turbines to disconnect
