Development of a sustainable water treatment process using biochar as substrate for filtration and coliform removal

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Preparation, modification, and characterization of biochar from woodchips and its application in stream water filtration, evaluated through physicochemical and microbiological analyses. Abstract Global microbial water contamination affects 1.8 billion people, necessitating efficient and sustainable treatment methods.

Microwave‐assisted catalytic pyrolysis of textile wastes: Synergistic effects and product characteristics

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the microwave‐assisted catalytic pyrolysis (MACP) of individual and blended textiles (cotton, polyester, nylon 6) using ZnO and a ZnO/natural zeolite catalyst. In a custom‐built microwave reactor operated at 500°C, 1 kW power, and a 15‐min residence time, textile wastes were pyrolyzed.

Application of artificial neural network and general machine learning modelling on CO2 adsorption in moisture equilibrated South African high and medium rank coals

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the effect of moisture on CO2 adsorption in South African coals using both experimental and machine learning approaches. Three coal samples (SL, TN, and EM) with varying ranks (RoVmr: 3.49%, 1.26%, and 0.64%, respectively) were collected from different regions of South Africa.

Effect of Late Second to Early Third Trimester of Pregnancy on the Activity of Renal Organic Anion Transporters (OAT1 and OAT3): A Biomarker Study

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Pregnant individuals take drugs throughout pregnancy and many of these drugs (e.g., antivirals, antibiotics) are eliminated by renal organic anion transporters (OAT) 1 and OAT3. In vivo studies with OAT1/3 substrate drugs suggest that pregnancy increases renal OAT1/3 activities by 1.5‐ to 1.8‐fold.

When Corporations Nudge for Good: Examining the Effectiveness of Corporate Social Marketing Initiatives in Influencing Intention to Change

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Firms invest heavily in corporate social initiatives (CSIs), yet evidence of behaviour change remains limited. This study examines whether corporate social marketing (CSM) elicits stronger behavioural intentions to change than other CSI formats, such as philanthropy and cause‐related marketing (CRM), and identifies the psychological mechanisms

Designing Governance for ESG: Incentive and Oversight Complementarities in Corporate Sustainability Performance

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how internal governance design supports credible ESG performance by distinguishing between Incentive and Oversight Architectures. Using 13,993 firm‐year observations of US nonfinancial firms from 2018 to 2024, we estimate fixed effects and two‐step system GMM models.

Efficiency and Perceptions in Public CSR: An Integrated Efficiency–Perception Analysis of Spanish Defence Delegations

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Public organisations often experience a discrepancy between improvements in technical efficiency and stakeholders' perceptions of integrity and performance. This study analyses the mechanisms that may underlie this efficiency–perception discrepancy in Spanish Defence Delegations during 2020–2023.
