Conceptualizing Corporate Political Activity for Sustainability Governance—The CPA Cube
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sustainability transformations in the economy, and related public policy decisions, are highly contested, attracting business involvement. To better understand how business influence on government impacts the success or failure of sustainability governance efforts, this paper extends the literature on corporate political activity (CPA) by ...

Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

Displacement Estimation of Structures With Flag‐Shaped Hysteresis Loops
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Time‐history analyses were conducted on single‐degree‐of‐freedom (SDOF) systems with flag‐shaped hysteresis loops using a far‐field ground motion suite to estimate peak displacements, Δp, and equivalent deformation cycles, Nc, associated with cumulative displacement demands.

Structural Effects of Vertical Non‐Skeletal Elements (NSEs) With Rocking Mechanisms
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper introduces the structural effects provided by vertical non‐skeletal elements (NSEs), such as claddings and partitions, with vertical slotted holes at their supports to enable rocking as the frame undergoes significant lateral deformation.

Use of ultrasonography in assessing peri‐implant osseous defects: An in vitro study
Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.Abstract Background The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography in peri‐implant defect identification and evaluation, and to compare ultrasonography (USG) with cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) in defect identification and evaluation in an in vitro model.
