Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

Board Gender Diversity and Environmental Credit Risk in Banking: A Global Study of Bank Governance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the relationship between board gender diversity and environmental credit risk in the global banking sector. Using a panel dataset of 345 publicly listed banks from 75 countries over the period 2018–2022, we find that greater female representation on bank boards is significantly associated with lower environmental credit

HYPERSPECTRAL GAS ANALYZER FOR MONITORING OF OIL AND GAS PIPELINES

Collection of selected papers of the II International Conference on Information Technology and Nanotechnology, 2016
For the detection and identification of hydrocarbons and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) conceptual design of a compact hyperspectral instrument with high spatial and spectral resolution was developed. This paper presents the calculation of the optical thickness of the medium ranges and an evaluation of the measurement uncertainty for the ...

From Green Governance to Biodiversity Strategy: The Role of Environmentally Experienced Directors in Chinese Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how directors with environmental protection (EP) backgrounds influence corporate biodiversity concern (BIO) among Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2008 to 2023. Drawing on Upper Echelons Theory, we argue that directors' environmental expertise shapes firms' biodiversity strategies.

Artificial Intelligence–Driven and Digital Practices for Circular Business and Finance: Insights for Advancing Hubs for Circularity

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The emerging concept of Hubs for Circularity (H4Cs) presents an opportunity to create collaborative, self‐sustaining regional industrial ecosystems that drive circular economy transitions at scale. However, the operationalisation of H4Cs faces financial, organisational and data‐driven challenges.

LC Resonant-Based Method for Permeability Interference Suppression in Magnetized Pipeline Eddy Current Testing

Sensors
In the eddy current testing (ECT) of magnetized ferromagnetic pipelines, permeability perturbations near defects cause magnetic distortion that primarily modulates the imaginary part of the ECT sensor’s impedance, leading to confusion between inner and ...

Russia's Strategy of Oil and Gas Pipelines

Russian and East European Studies, 2008
The nature of pipelines is to form a “natural monopoly” due to the huge investment required and its superiority through taking precedence against late comers. Russia, the second largest oil producer in the world, has a history of constructing oil exporting networks to ports on the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea as well as an inland pipeline system to ...
