ESG Controversies in Global Firms: A Black Mark?

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite increasing attention paid by companies to sustainability, there is still evidence of environmental, social and governance (commonly referred to as ESG) scandals. As research on this topic is scant, this paper aims to analyse the impact of ESG controversies on firms' sustainability practices, that is, ESG policies, as well as ...

WSPLK: A systematic approach to the thermodynamic characterization of light and heavy Mexican crude oil

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract A streamlined characterization framework (WSPLK) is presented for modelling complex reservoir fluids using cubic equations of state. The key methodological contribution is the introduction of a single global parameter ε directly into Pedersen's boiling‐point correlation, restoring pure‐component calibration and eliminating the need for ...

Governance Drivers of Fossil Fuel Divestment: Evidence From Global Banks

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses increasing transition risks for the banking sector, as financial institutions remain exposed to fossil fuel activities despite growing sustainability commitments. This study examines whether corporate governance influences banks' decisions to adopt fossil fuel divestment policies.

Toward Safer and Sustainable Lithium Metal Batteries: Fluorine‐Free Solid Polymer Electrolytes

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
An analysis to assess the impact of fluorine in polymer electrolyte‐based lithium metal batteries has been conducted. It has been demonstrated that fluorine‐free LiTIM salt delivers a electrochemical performance similar to that of its fluorinated analogue salts, given the complete lithium dissociation in coordination with PEO and the restricted anion ...

Decentralized Federated Learning for Wind Turbine Bearing Prognostics Under Data Scarcity and Statistical Heterogeneity

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper proposes a decentralized peer‐to‐peer federated learning framework for wind turbine bearing remaining useful life prediction, introducing a virtual client paradigm in which statistical health indicators serve as independent feature‐level clients—enabling privacy‐preserving collaborative prognostics from a single physical asset under ...

Stability Evaluation and Parametric Optimization of Coal‐Concrete Composite Bearing Systems Under Mine‐Water‐Induced Deterioration: Experiments and FEINN Analysis

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Mine‐water immersion tests reveal pronounced coal weakening (vs. minor concrete degradation), identifying coal pillars as the stability‐limiting component in composite dams. A coupled FEINN framework quantifies extreme‐pressure stability and ranks multi‐parameter designs via a normalized multi‐indicator scheme, enabling optimized dam configuration for ...

Local Polynomial Regression and Filtering for a Versatile Mesh‐Free PDE Solver

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
A high‐order, mesh‐free finite difference method for solving differential equations is presented. Both derivative approximation and scheme stabilisation is carried out by parametric or non‐parametric local polynomial regression, making the resulting numerical method accurate, simple and versatile. Numerous numerical benchmark tests are investigated for

Is AI an Algorithm by Any Other Name? Behavioral Reactions to AI‐ and Model‐Based Demand Planning Algorithms

open access: yesJournal of Operations Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With the ongoing deployment of AI algorithms, managers do not know whether existing demand planning processes account for possible differences in human behavior when using AI‐based systems in comparison to legacy model‐based systems. This study examines how human behavior may differ when performing demand forecasting tasks due to the ...

Prospective randomised controlled trial comparing PLLA and PLDLA/HA/β‐TCP interference screws in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: CT scans, MRI and clinical outcomes

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Modifying interference screw composition may ensure better osteoconductive properties in order to reduce tunnel enlargement after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The primary and secondary purposes were to evaluate tunnel and screw volume changes in poly‐L‐lactide acid (PLLA) and poly‐D‐lactic acid + hydroxyapatite + β ...
