CEO Conversational Receptiveness and Its Role in Reducing ESG Controversies

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) controversies can severely damage firms' legitimacy, reputation, and stakeholder trust. Yet little is known about how CEO leadership behaviors shape firms' exposure to such unfavorable ESG outcomes.

ESG And Market Power: Evidence From a Concentrated Financial Sector

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors on market power in the Kuwait financial sector for the period 2018–2023. Market power is measured using stochastic frontier analysis (SFA), and the System Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) is employed as the main method.

The Optimal Linear Quadratic Feedback State Regulator Problem for Index One Descriptor Systems [PDF]

In this note we present both necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a linear static state feedback controller if the system is described by an index one descriptor system. A priori no definiteness restrictions are made w.r.t.

Purification of Li2CO3 Obtained through Pyrometallurgical Treatment of NMC Black Mass from Electric Vehicle Batteries

ChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
Lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) obtained from the black mass of recycled lithium batteries is dissolved in water under controlled conditions to remove lithium fluoride (LiF), which is present at a concentration of 3.08 % by weight. The dissolution is carried out at temperatures below 10 °C, and it has been demonstrated that lower temperatures result in ...

Simplified Small‐Signal Modeling Method for Non‐Isolated High Step‐Up Converters

International Journal of Circuit Theory and Applications, EarlyView.
A generalized small‐signal modeling methodology for a family of non‐isolated high step‐up DC‐DC converters is proposed. ABSTRACT This work presents a generalized small‐signal modeling methodology for a family of DC–DC converters based on the four‐state switching cell with a wide conversion range (WCR‐4SSC) operating in continuous conduction mode (CCM).

A rock brittleness index based on the postpeak energy release rate and damage surface characteristics for brittle hard rock

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study examines energy evolution in rock rupture via triaxial direct shear tests, exploring the impact of confining pressure and temperature on fracture surface randomness. A novel energy‐based brittleness index is proposed, validated experimentally, and compared with existing methods for reliability and accuracy.

Research progress and current status of dynamic wave propagation characteristics in rock mass: A review

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review elucidates the velocity–dispersion–attenuation coupling mechanisms of wave propagation in rock masses, compares six representative models, and reveals how pressure, temperature, mineral composition, and anisotropy jointly control dynamic responses in complex geological media.

Carbon emission assessment of tunnel infrastructures: From construction to operation

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study develops a lifecycle carbon accounting framework for tunnel infrastructures, covering design, construction, operation, maintenance, and dismantling. Applied to a subsea tunnel case, the framework reveals the carbon emission distribution among four typical tunnel types and highlights potential carbon offset methods for low‐carbon tunnel ...
