Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to examine the impact of corruption control, as a public institutional mechanism, on hazardous waste emissions of private sector entities. We also examine the extent to which Agenda 2030 moderates the relationship. We analyse data from the top 500 global companies.

A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...

Variable Temperature Studies of Two Calcium Uranates α‐Ca3UO6 and Ca2UO5
Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.The structures and thermal responses of the calcium uranates α‐Ca3UO6 and Ca2UO5 were investigated using in situ synchrotron x‐ray diffraction and neutron powder diffraction. Despite the very similar chemical compositions, the structural response of the two calcium uranates is shown to be complex and varied.

Spatially resolved 23Na magnetic resonance dispersion measurement in porous media
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Quantitative 23Na MRI was employed to analyze dispersion in realistic core plug samples and was compared with the conventional breakthrough curve. 23Na MRI provided a more effective aassessment of core plug heterogeneity than the conventional method. Abstract Tracer tests are widely used in the petroleum industry to assess reservoir core plugs, relying

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.The tensile strength of granite, a proposed host for nuclear waste, degrades severely above 400°C. We link this to specific microcracking patterns captured by acoustic emission, establishing a scientific basis for assessing repository safety under thermal load.
