Exploring the Role of Competitiveness in Sustainability Standards: Insights From an Animal Welfare Scheme Adopted by Supermarkets

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on supermarket‐related voluntary sustainability standards (VSSs) is divided on whether competition helps or hinders efforts to reduce negative social and environmental impacts. This paper examines how the standardization process shapes these outcomes.

A Co‐Designed Implicit‐Reset Path PFD and Current Mismatch Compensated CP Enabling Sub‐0.5% Mismatch and Dead Zone‐Free for Low‐Spur PLLs

open access: yesInternational Journal of Circuit Theory and Applications, EarlyView.
A co‐designed implicit‐reset phase‐frequency detector (PFD) and nonlinear amplifier‐assisted charge pump (CP) achieve dead zone‐free operation from 10 MHz to 4.7 GHz with < 0.5% current mismatch without calibration, enabling −80 dBc of reference spur and 0.50 ps of RMS jitter in a 180 nm of CMOS PLL.

Parallel Multi‐Operand Addition Using CPA‐Trees and Carry‐Select Adders

open access: yesInternational Journal of Circuit Theory and Applications, EarlyView.
A balanced parallel CPA‐tree architecture with CSLA reduces the critical‐path delay of multi‐operand addition while preserving structural regularity. ASIC results demonstrate delay reductions of up to 34% with low area overhead, providing an efficient and scalable solution for high‐performance arithmetic.

Advancing mine pillar design: Evaluating traditional methods and integrating AI for enhanced stability of pillars in the Great Dyke, Zimbabwe

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
B1 is bord width 1, B2 is bord width 2, L is the pillar length, W is the pillar width, red color and letter A represent the pillars, and white color and number 1 represent excavated areas. Pstress is the average pillar stress; σv is the vertical component of the virgin stress, MPa; and e is the areal extraction ratio. e = B o B o + B P ${\rm{e}}=\frac{{
