Digital Transformation in Work Integration Social Enterprises: Leadership Strategies and the Role of Internal Stakeholders

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Digital transformation is increasingly reshaping how social enterprises organize work, engage stakeholders, and pursue social value. While prior research has examined digitalization in hybrid organizations, limited attention has been paid to how responsibility for inclusive digital transformation is enacted internally.

Leaf heat tolerance in a native Californian shrub responds in expected and unexpected ways to differences in range, season, and sunlight exposure

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Earth's ecosystems are experiencing wide‐ranging impacts from global climate change, including increased average and extreme temperatures. These temperature shifts can drastically affect plant physiology, threatening the future of even common plant species. Here, we focus on photosynthetic function in a native Southern California shrub species.

Design and Testing of a Minimal Configuration Underwater Micro‐Glider: Automating Lake and Reservoir Monitoring

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs) have transformed oceanographic research through autonomous data gathering. Similarly, lake and other aquatic research can potentially be automated and transformed. However, UUVs would need to be smaller, lighter, less complex, and cheaper than currently available to make them more practical and user‐friendly

Non‐Physical Barrier Design and Environmental Conditions Alter Routing and Survival of Juvenile Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the Sacramento‐San Joaquin River Delta

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pacific salmon face substantial challenges when migrating through anthropogenically modified river systems, such as the Sacramento‐San Joaquin River Delta (the Delta). Non‐physical behavioral barriers, such as the bioacoustic fish fence (BAFF), are one potential solution for guiding fish away from hazards without obstructing water flow ...

Models of Quasi-Steady and Unsteady Discharge from Plumbing Fixtures

Journal of Research of the National Bureau of Standards, 1981
Modeling methods are developed to predict the discharge characteristics of simulated simplified configurations for plumbing fixtures connected to horizontal drain branch piping. Computations are carried out to illustrate several methods of determining the effect of various loss coefficients of the drain connection, pipe length, pipe diameter, and ...

Plumbing Pathogens: A Fixture in Hospitals and Homes

Environmental Health Perspectives, 2015
Practicing good hygiene is supposed to make you healthier, not sicker. However, a growing body of research shows that certain bacteria can thrive in household and hospital plumbing systems and may cause life-threatening infections among susceptible individuals after inhalation or ingestion. In this issue of EHP, Joseph Falkinham of Virginia Polytechnic

Structural behavior of small square steel tubes reinforced self‐compacting concrete columns under biaxial eccentric loads

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In this study, the structural behavior of small square steel tube‐reinforced self‐compacting concrete (SSTR‐SCC) columns is investigated under symmetric and asymmetric biaxial eccentric loads. Twelve specimens were cast and tested under biaxial eccentric loads.
