A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...

Low‐Carbon Energy Transition and Corporate Carbon Emissions: The Critical Role of Climate Change Mitigation Policies and Institutional Context

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the strategic efficacy of corporate low‐carbon energy transition, such as through nuclear energy adoption, as a response to decarbonization pressures. Analyzing an international sample of energy firms, we demonstrate that the relationship between this form of transition and emission reductions is not technologically ...

Circular Transitions in Healthcare Waste Management in Vietnam: An Institutional Perspective

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTHealthcare waste management (HCWM) is a growing environmental and public health concern. This study explores how the institutional pressures that shape HCWM practices evolve toward circularity through coercive, normative, and mimetic isomorphisms and how these mechanisms influence organisational behaviour in Vietnam, a complex, highly regulated

Utilization of bentonite in cementation of Cs-137-contaminated electric arc furnace dust

Nuclear Engineering and Technology
Cementation was employed to harden the Cs-137-contaminated electric arc furnace dust. The dust and cement were used as cementation binders. Bentonite was added to resist the Cs-137 leaching from the dust-cement-bentonite specimens.

Linear thermal expansion behavior of compacted bentonite buffer materials

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2022
In a geological repository system, buffer is indispensable to ensure the safe disposal of high-level radioactive waste (HLW). Because heat generated from spent nuclear fuel in a canister is released to the surrounding buffers, thermal properties of such ...

Peroxodisulfate‐Enhanced Leaching of Deep‐Sea Manganese Crusts and Sulfides

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
Ammonium peroxodisulfate enables efficient leaching of deep‐sea manganese crusts and massive sulfides while offering electrolytic recycling. High leaching yields for V, Mn, Co, Mo, Sn, and W, along with complete leaching of As and Sb, highlight its potential as a powerful and sustainable oxidant for marine resource processing.

Regulatory Convergence and Divergence in ESG Reporting in the Indo‐Pacific Region

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting has evolved significantly globally over the past few decades. Many countries are now signatories to international agreements such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement, with increasing commitments to emissions reduction targets and the

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.
