Common purpose advantage: Reviving a managerial theory of the firm?

Strategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary What is the most effective way to distribute organizational objectives across managers? While prior work suggests managers should each focus on a single objective, we draw on Barnard's original insights on corporate purpose to identify conditions when managers pursuing the full set of objectives is advantageous.

Project Templating and Onboarding With Cookiecutter: Foundations, Uses, and Guidelines

Software: Practice and Experience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Cookiecutter is a popular, mature open‐source Python library for automating the creation of customized projects from templates. This kind of scaffolding is useful for enabling reuse, encapsulating expertise, achieve uniformity, and facilitating project creation for a range of languages and domains, including microservices, web ...

Arbitrary Pulse Shaping using Accelerated Interfaces

Small Structures, EarlyView.
This work introduces a novel method for arbitrary pulse shaping using accelerated interfaces. By exploiting nonuniform Doppler shifts, the authors derive exact scattering relations and compute interface trajectories that transform input pulses into desired waveforms.

Structural behavior of deteriorated Gerber half‐joints in highway overpasses by nonlinear finite element analysis combined with a simplified uniform‐corrosion model

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Gerber half‐joints, broadly used in the last century as elements of concrete bridges, are prone to corrosion‐induced deterioration, which may lead to brittle shear collapse. It is of paramount importance to develop advanced numerical models for simulating the collapse behavior of Gerber half‐joints, taking material deterioration into account ...

A fiber‐based deterioration modeling framework for reinforced concrete structures subject to spatially non‐uniform corrosion patterns described by limited information

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Reinforced concrete structures are often subject to significantly non‐uniform corrosion patterns. In real situations, the information available about deterioration is incomplete and sometimes is reduced to qualitative judgments formulated by inspectors based on in‐situ surveys.

On the effectiveness of shear reinforcement type in GFRP‐reinforced concrete beams: Experimental study

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated the shear performance of concrete beams with GFRP stirrups vs. traditional steel stirrups. Longitudinal glass fiber‐reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars were used to doubly reinforce the tested beams at both the top and bottom of their cross sections. To accomplish this, several stirrup spacings were provided.

Modeling locally corroded reinforced concrete structures in non‐linear finite element analyses

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The ingress of chlorides, originating from the use of de‐icing salts or proximity to the sea, may cause severe local reinforcement corrosion in concrete structures such as bridges, tunnels, galleries, and retaining walls. Methods are urgently required to realistically assess the load‐bearing capacity of such deteriorated structures, accounting

Obesity and Its Impact on Endoscopic Sinus Surgery Outcomes in Patients With Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose The rising prevalence of obesity introduces challenges in surgical contexts, including endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). However, the impact of obesity on ESS outcomes remains underexplored. This study aims to evaluate the association between obesity and surgical complexity, operative

Parameter Identification of Photovoltaic Models Using an Enhanced INFO Algorithm

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Photovoltaic (PV) systems are electrical systems designed to convert solar energy into electrical energy. As a crucial component of PV systems, harsh weather conditions, photovoltaic panel temperature and solar irradiance influence the power output of photovoltaic cells.

Mesh‐Based Charge Simulation Method and Its Applications to Electrostatic Electric Field Computation

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The charge simulation method (CSM) is a well‐established numerical technique employed in electrostatic field calculations, primarily due to its simplicity and computational efficiency. However, conventional CSM face challenges when applied to complex geometries, as they necessitate meticulous manual placement of simulation charges and matching
