Exploratory Analysis of Sustainable Consumption and Production Factors in Services: Insights From Four Case Studies Using Interpretive Structural Modeling

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how 14 sustainable consumption and production (SCP) factors interact across four service categories—Mass Service, Professional Service, Service Factory, and Service Shop—using interpretive structural modeling (ISM). ISM enables the identification and hierarchical classification of interdependencies among SCP factors in ...

Suppressing the $\mu$ and neutrino masses by a superconformal force [PDF]

, 2001
The idea of Nelson and Strassler to obtain a power law suppression of parameters by a superconformal force is applied to understand the smallness of the $\mu$ parameter and neutrino masses in R-parity violating supersymmetric standard models.

Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane Based Material for Tumor Heterogeneity MR Visualization and Precise Treatment

SusMat, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malignant tumors whose mortality rates up to 97% possess high heterogeneity that leads to rapid growth, strong invasive capability, and low drug sensitivity. Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging enables direct visualization of tumors. However, gadolinium‐based contrast agents used in clinical practice have significant drawbacks of short ...

Morphology evolution in biaxially stretched polyethylene terephthalate and prediction of final elastic properties

Polymer Testing
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) crystallization and macromolecular orientation during biaxial stretching near Tg was investigated using in-situ synchrotron Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Morphological evolution is tracked under constant-width (CW)

Iron Ore Pricing in China: Financialization Through a Marxist Lens

Abacus, EarlyView.
We offer a Marxist interpretation of financialization as we examine the Chinese market for iron ore and the shift in the pricing mechanism from an annual fixed price to an indexed price from 2010. Drawing upon Marx's theory of the circuit of capital, we illustrate an empirical case of financialization that results from the conflict between social ...

Higher-order Lorentz violations in electrodynamics

, 2010
The Standard-Model Extension (SME) provides a theoretical framework for tests of Lorentz invariance. To date, most studies have focused on the minimal SME, which restricts attention to operators of renormalizable dimension. Here, we review recent studies

Geopolitics on a Shoestring? Unpacking the EU'S Geopolitical External Assistance to Central Asia

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The paper examines how the European Union's (EU) increasingly emphasised geopolitical ambitions are reflected in the practice of its external assistance policy. An analysis of EU documents around various policy initiatives and funding instruments reveals that in the Commission's understanding, geopolitical external assistance increases EU ...

3G Internet Diffusion and Secondary Education Attainment: Evidence of Opportunity Cost in Vietnam

Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mobile internet diffusion has led to significant societal and economic transformations since its early diffusion, especially in the Global South. This has implied changes in human capital formation, particularly through education, and has reshaped the trade‐off between education and employment, especially among the younger population.
