Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article contributes to sustainability research by investigating the complex, geopolitically induced challenges faced by industrial supply chains under international sanctions. Using Iran's steel industry as a case, it examines sustainability barriers through the lens of stakeholder theory. A mixed methods approach was employed.

ESG Controversies in Global Firms: A Black Mark?
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite increasing attention paid by companies to sustainability, there is still evidence of environmental, social and governance (commonly referred to as ESG) scandals. As research on this topic is scant, this paper aims to analyse the impact of ESG controversies on firms' sustainability practices, that is, ESG policies, as well as ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As sustainability transitions accelerate, firms increasingly engage in innovation ecosystems to pursue disruptive sustainable innovation (DSI). Nevertheless, empirical understanding regarding how innovation ecosystem coopetition—simultaneous cooperation and competition among interdependent actors—translates into sustainability‐oriented ...

The Reconstructability of Markov Chains
The Annals of Probability, 1976 As an extension of the work of Denzel, Kemeny, and Snell on the excessive functions of a continuous time Markov chain, this paper introduces the concept of reconstructability in two forms. First, there is reconstructability from the class of excessive functions, where it is seen that the transition matrix for a transient chain with a finite atomic exit

Insight of Elementary Steps on the Polyethylene and Polypropylene Co‐Pyrolysis
Carbon and Hydrogen, EarlyView.Pyrolysis of PP initiates first, accelerating PE cracking via secondary radical transfer, leading to n‐hydrocarbon yield enhancement. Py–GC/MS and nanoreactor computation are in agreement on the elementary step proposal. ABSTRACT Pyrolysis with gas chromatography & mass spectrometry (Py–GC/MS) technique was employed to analyze the yield variation of ...

Stability of Queueing Systems with Impatience, Balking and Non-Persistence of Customers
MathematicsThe operation of many queueing systems is adequately described by the structured multidimensional continuous-time Markov chains. The most well-studied classes of such chains are level-independent Quasi-Birth-and-Death processes, GI/M/1 type and M/G/1 ...

CoRRMotivated by techniques developed in recent progress on lower bounds for sublinear time algorithms (Behnezhad, Roghani and Rubinstein, STOC 2023, FOCS 2023, and STOC 2024) we introduce and study a new class of randomized algorithmic processes that we call Markov Chains with Rewinding. In this setting, an algorithm interacts with a (partially observable)

Hidden Markov graphical models with state‐dependent generalized hyperbolic distributions
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract In this article, we develop a novel hidden Markov graphical model to investigate time‐varying interconnectedness between different financial markets. To identify conditional correlation structures under varying market conditions and accommodate shape features embedded in financial time series, we rely upon the generalized hyperbolic family of ...

Power spectral density and the brain
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Time series from M/EEG (magneto/electroencephalography) and ECoG (electrocorticography) recordings are common sources of information about brain function. The power spectral density (PSD) preserves much of this information, up to second order. In the current decade, a burst of brain diagnostics using the slope of log(PSD) has appeared.

The SIR Model in a Moving Population: Propagation of Infection and Herd Immunity
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In a collection of particles performing independent random walks on Zd$\mathbb {Z}^d$ we study the spread of an infection with SIR dynamics. Susceptible particles become infected when they meet an infected particle. Infected particles heal and are removed at rate ν$\nu$.
