An efficient numerical model for the simulation of coupled heat, air, and moisture transfer in porous media

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 2, Issue 2, February 2020., 2020
An efficient explicit numerical model is proposed for the simulation of heat, air, and moisture transfer in porous material. The combination of innovative approaches enables to relax the numerical stability condition to reduce the computational time. Abstract This article proposes an efficient explicit numerical model with a relaxed stability condition

Weak Comparison Principle for Weighted Fractional p‐Laplacian Equation

open access: yesJournal of Function Spaces, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
The aim of this paper is to establish a weak comparison principle for a class fractional p‐Laplacian equation with weight. The nonlinear term f(x, s) > 0 is a Carathéodory function which is possibly unbounded both at the origin and at infinity and such that f(x, s)s1−p decreases with respect to s for a.e. x ∈ Ω.

Cross‐Prudence and Optimal Prevention

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we study optimal prevention in the presence of a correlated nonfinancial background risk. Under positive correlation, cross‐prudence in the nonfinancial attribute reduces optimal prevention. We establish this result in the most direct extension of the standard prevention problem with binary marginal distributions and show that ...

A Network Coding‐Based Braided Multipath Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

open access: yesWireless Communications and Mobile Computing, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), energy efficiency can simultaneously guarantee robustness to link loss and node failure and is a key design goal of routing protocols because WSNs are strongly constrained in terms of transmission reliability, transmission delay, and energy consumption.

The roles of multinational enterprises in governing the sustainability of global supply chains

open access: yesInternational Journal of Management Reviews, Volume 28, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract An extensive but fragmented body of research shows that multinational enterprises (MNEs) engage with multiple sustainability rules in global supply chains (GSCs) spanning the private, social and public governance sectors. MNEs perform diverse roles by either shaping or complying with these rules.

Instability of Vertical Constant Through Flows in Binary Mixtures in Porous Media with Large Pores

open access: yesMathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
A binary mixture saturating a horizontal porous layer, with large pores and uniformly heated from below, is considered. The instability of a vertical fluid motion (throughflow) when the layer is salted by one salt (either from above or from below) is analyzed.

Structured Inequality, Uncertain Lifespans: Demographic Perspectives on Predicting Individual‐Level Longevity

open access: yesPopulation and Development Review, Volume 52, Issue 2, Page 299-318, June 2026.
Abstract There are striking disparities in life expectancy across sociodemographic groups in the United States, shaped by structural forces such as racism, class inequality, and policy environments. To what extent do sociodemographic characteristics structure—or fail to structure—individual lifespans? Using U.S.

Identification of Fully Measurable Grand Lebesgue Spaces

open access: yesJournal of Function Spaces, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
We consider the Banach function spaces, called fully measurable grand Lebesgue spaces, associated with the function norm ρ(f) = ess supx∈X⁡δ(x)ρp(x)(f), where ρp(x) denotes the norm of the Lebesgue space of exponent p(x), and p(·) and δ(·) are measurable functions over a measure space (X, ν), p(x)∈[1, ∞], and δ(x)∈(0,1] almost everywhere. We prove that

Disarticulations in Naples: Cultural political ecology, the green transition, and labour unrest at a Whirlpool factory

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract This article develops a cultural political ecology approach to disarticulations and labour unrest. The reference point for analysis is a struggle at a Whirlpool factory in Naples that the company announced would close in 2019, six months after signing an agreement with the Italian government, including a multi‐million investment plan.

Bifurcation and Nodal Solutions for the Half‐Linear Problems with Nonasymptotic Nonlinearity at 0 and ∞

open access: yesDiscrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
We study the existence of nodal solutions for the following problem: −x″ = αx+ + βx− + ra(t)f(x), 0 < t < 1, x(0) = x(1) = 0, where r ≠ 0 is a parameter, a(t) ∈ C([0,1], (0, ∞)) with a(t)≢0 on any subinterval of [0,1], x+ = max{x, 0}, x− = −min{x, 0}, and α, β ∈ C[0,1]; f∈C(R,R), sf(s) > 0 for s ≠ 0, and f0, f∞ ∉ (0, ∞), where f0 = lim|s|→0f(s)/s and f∞
