How Supply Networks Influence Sustainable Innovation: Evidence From Ghana's Public Works Procurement

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent environmental and sustainability standards in procurement increase short‐term production and operational costs to suppliers, which are often recouped by charging price premiums for innovative solutions. However, public buyers are less likely to pay such price premiums, resulting in a disincentive among suppliers to bid for innovation ...

Climate Change Risks and Customer Concentration: Evidence From US‐Listed Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While prior studies have investigated climate risks in supply chains, customer ESG pressures, and shared climate exposure, this paper is, to the best of our knowledge, the first to provide direct empirical evidence on the relationship between climate change risks and firms' customer concentration.

Bifunctional Reduced Graphene Oxide Derivatives for PFOA Adsorption

ChemistryEurope, EarlyView.
A bifunctional graphene‐based material is developed for selective PFAS adsorption from water. Thermally reduced graphene oxide is modified with quaternary ammonium groups and fluorinated chains, promoting electrostatic and fluorine–fluorine interactions. Surface functionality is characterized by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy,

Hydrogels Formed by the Self‐Assembly of Collagen‐Mimetic Peptides With a Constrained Backbone Structure

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Kinked collagen‐mimetic peptides (kinkCMPs), whose backbone is constrained by a disulfide bond, are designed to induce hydrogel formation. The kinked backbone promotes supramolecular assembly into tunable hydrogels with thermal stability depending on length.

Effect of different flue gas recirculation rates on low‐NOx combustion characteristics: A numerical simulation based on the combustion process of a gas boiler

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract NOx emissions from gas boilers severely impact the environment, and flue gas recirculation (FGR) technology can effectively reduce such emissions, yet the effects of different FGR rates on combustion performance and NOx formation remain unclear. This study thus used numerical simulation (via ANSYS Fluent, adopting the realizable k‐ε turbulence

Reuse of Water as Part of a Water Sustainability Strategy: Experiences of Germany and Poland

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wastewater can provide an alternative supply of scarce water resources, particularly for operations that do not require high‐quality water. The uptake in wastewater usage is likely to be driven by a combination of public and private sector actors via internal actions and external collaborations.

Random finite element analysis on ground subsidence caused by tunnel excavation in karst regions with spatial variable soil

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study investigates ground subsidence during tunnel excavation in karst areas, highlighting the combined effects of karst cave proximity, cave size, and soil spatial variability. Findings suggest that shorter cave distances and larger cave sizes increase subsidence variability, and a modified Peck formula is proposed for more accurate subsidence ...
