Digital Orientation and Green Practices in Chilean SMEs: Innovation as the Pathway to Competitive Performance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how digital strategic orientation (DSO) and environmental practices (EP) interact to shape innovation and performance among Chilean SMEs. Using survey data from 271 firms (February–May 2022), we estimate a generalized structured component analysis (GSCA) model that accommodates a nonrecursive relationship between DSO and EP.

Extended batch adsorber analogue model (e‐BAAM) for rapid evaluation of CO2 capture pressure swing adsorption cycles

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This work presents a simplified extended‐batch adsorber analogue model (e‐BAAM) to quantify key performance metrics such as purity, recovery, and energy trends for various pressure swing adsorption (PSA) process cycles for CO2$$ {\mathrm{CO}}_2 $$ capture.

Zebrafish ventral gastrula fate map reveals neural crest progenitor domain

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Fate maps relate progenitor cell positions to later fates and locations of their progeny, revealing early embryonic organization. Previous zebrafish fate maps identified the origin of germ layers and derivative cell fates, but ventral gastrula progenitor domains were not fully resolved. In particular, the neural crest, a multipotent

Amyloid‐β–Related Cortical Susceptibility Alterations in Individuals Under Assessment for Alzheimer's Disease: A χ‐Separation Study

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Assessment of amyloid‐β (Aβ) burden and associated iron deposition and neurodegeneration is important for Alzheimer's disease (AD) management. Although quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) detects iron and myelin changes, conventional metrics suffer from signal cancelation between paramagnetic and diamagnetic components ...

Niche Based or Neutral Processes? Bacterial Community Assembly in Soil Aggregates During Primary and Secondary Succession

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Abiotic and biotic filters shape microbial phylogenetic diversity. Here, we evaluated bacterial phylogenetic diversity in micro‐ and macro‐aggregates across primary and secondary soil successions to assess the relative influence of niche‐based and neutral processes.
