The Strategic Role of Sustainability Certifications: A Multi‐Theoretical Framework and Comparative Analysis in the Global Wine Industry

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability certifications are increasingly embedded in the governance and competitiveness of the wine sector, yet their strategic role remains under‐theorised. This study conceptualises certifications as multidimensional strategic mechanisms and conducts a comparative analysis of 50 schemes used in the global wine industry.

Physical and Mechanical Characteristics of Lunar Soil at the Chang'E‐4 Landing Site

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
Chang'E‐4, with the Yutu‐2 rover, is the first lunar probe to successfully land and conduct a tour on the far side of the Moon from early 2019. We analyze the physical and mechanical characteristics of lunar soil through the in situ terrain data ...

Designing a Culture‐Driven C‐STEAM Project Framework for Vocational Education

Future in Educational Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amid rapid technological advances and a growing emphasis on cultural sustainability in education, STEAM education has been widely adopted to support interdisciplinary learning and decision‐making skills. However, many STEAM implementations remain largely instrumental, regularly neglecting cultural meaning‐making, value orientation, and ...

An Empirical Model to Estimate Abundance of Nanophase Metallic Iron (npFe⁰) in Lunar Soils

Remote Sensing, 2020
Lunar soils gradually become mature when they are exposed to a space environment, and nanophase metallic iron (npFe0) generates within them. npFe0 significantly changes the optical properties of lunar soils and affects the interpretation of the remotely ...

Effects of Ambient Moisture and Large‐Strain Dynamic Preloading on the Dynamic Properties of the EAC‐1A Regolith Simulant

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The EAC‐1A lunar mare simulant, a silty sand, was selected by the European Astronaut Center (EAC) for use in the LUNA analogue facility's lunar simulation testbed. Its stress‐ and strain‐dependent shear modulus and damping ratio were determined via resonant column testing on specimens prepared either from ambient moisture material or oven ...

Estimating the critical angle of top near‐surface layers on the Moon

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract Near‐surface characterization of the lunar subsurface is essential for future exploration and infrastructure development, particularly for the construction of underground habitats that provide protection against radiation and micrometeorites. However, conventional seismic approaches for estimating subsurface properties typically rely on prior ...

Revealing the Mechanical Characteristics via Kinematic Wave Model for Snake-Like Robot Executing Exploration of Lunar Craters

IEEE Access, 2020
It is extremely difficult to collect deep lunar soil samples during lunar exploration, as the average thickness of lunar soils is very large, and the power of lunar soil sampling systems is inherently limited.

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

Oikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Development and characterization of a regional lunar soil simulant for emirates lunar missions

International Journal of Mining Science and Technology
Lunar soil simulants (LSS) have been pivotal in the success of past and current lunar missions. They have enhanced the design of lander and rover wheels through interaction studies on the lunar testbed under simulated environmental conditions.
