Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Mining: An Integrated Institutional and Agency Theory Perspective

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mining is one of the foundations of economic development but has historically been associated with severe socioenvironmental impacts, such as ecosystem degradation, displacement of traditional communities, and large‐scale disasters. In this context, corporate social responsibility (CSR) plays a central role as a mechanism for legitimizing ...

Precursor Analysis for Offshore Oil and Gas Drilling: From Prescriptive to Risk-Informed Regulation [PDF]

The Oil Spill Commission’s chartered mission—to “develop options to guard against … any oil spills associated with offshore drilling in the future” (National Commission 2010)—presents a major challenge: how to reduce the risk of low-frequency oil spill ...

Failure characteristics analysis of the inclined interlayer during water‐soluble cavity construction of underground salt caverns for large‐scale energy storage

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
In the process of water‐soluble cavern construction of salt cavern energy storage, since the interlayer does not dissolve in water easily, sudden collapse will cause engineering accidents such as bending and damage of the inner tube of the cavern.

Bioinspired Janus Evaporator for Efficient Desalination of Saline‐Alkali and Seawater Through Photothermal‐Capillary Effects

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This work combines textile technology to ingeniously integrate a hydrophobic PP/MXene photothermal sheath with a hydrophilic cotton core into functionalized yarns, successfully developing a Janus core‐sheath evaporator (PM‐CSY‐F). The evaporator demonstrates outstanding evaporation rates and efficient desalination efficiency when applied to treating ...

T‐Shaped 8‐Aryl(ethynyl)‐Substituted Psoralens With Tunable Charge‐Transfer Absorption

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
Starting from 8‐methoxypsoralen, new 8‐arylated and 8‐alkynylated psoralen derivatives are accessible by cross‐coupling. These T‐shaped π‐expanded chromophores are luminescent and photophysics reveal a highly polar excited state with tunable charge‐transfer character.

Consecutive (Pseudo‐)Four‐Component Synthesis of Meta‐ and Ortho‐Biaryl Triarylamines with Tunable Emission and Redox Properties

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
The combination of Suzuki and Buchwald–Hartwig coupling in (pseudo‐)four‐component reactions paves an efficient one‐pot route to twisted, redox‐active triarylamine (TAA) emitters. Biaryl substitution patterns and para‐substituents serve as key levers for tuning redox potentials, as well as absorption and emission energies, complemented and, by time ...

Modeling the Probability of Tsunami Fire Ignition Based on Data From the 2011 Tohoku and 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquakes, With Recommendations to Reduce Emerging Fire Risk in Tsunami Vertical Evacuation Structures

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent tsunamigenic earthquakes in Japan have highlighted the emerging fire hazard triggered by tsunami inundation and its impact on tsunami vertical evacuation (TVE) structures. This new type of fire following earthquake, referred to as “tsunami fires,” may be a potential universal hazard that tsunami‐prone countries face; however, it has not
