Reporting What Matters, or Reporting What Looks Good? Materiality and Balance in Post–Rana Plaza Apparel Sustainability Disclosure

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability reports (SRs) are widely criticized for vague disclosures and selective emphasis on positive outcomes, yet systematic research on two core SR challenges remains limited: materiality (whether disclosed content is relevant) and balance (whether both achievements and challenges are reported).

Cyclic viscoplastic deformation modeling of a nickel-based single crystal superalloy with [001] orientation

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Accurate simulations of cyclic viscoplastic deformation behaviors of single crystal superalloys which are widely used for the manufacture of gas turbine blades are important for the effective design and safety assessment in practice.

Patents as Green Signals: Capital Market Responses to Corporate Green Innovation in Carbon‐ and Energy‐Intensive Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adopting a signaling perspective, this study examines whether corporate green patenting reduces the cost of equity by mitigating information asymmetry in capital markets. Using longitudinal panel data from South Korea, we find that green patenting—encapsulating technological innovation related to energy, environmental protection, and climate ...

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 ...

Study on a unified criterion for preventing plastic strain accumulation due to long distance travel of temperature distribution

Mechanical Engineering Journal, 2017
The prevention of excessive deformation by thermal ratcheting is important in the design of high-temperature components of fast breeder reactors (FBR). In an experimental study that simulated a fast breeder reactor vessel near the coolant surface, it was

In-plane biaxial ratcheting behavior of PVDF UF membrane

Polymer Testing, 2016
Abstract A series of in-plane biaxial cyclic tests were conducted to investigate the biaxial ratcheting behavior of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) ultrafiltration (UF) membranes via cruciform shaped specimens. A tailored biaxial cyclic testing system and an integrated non-contact displacement detecting system were used.

Photoreversible Polyurea Actuators With Spatiotemporal Control and Adaptive Mechanics

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A light–thermal responsive polyurea network incorporating reversibly dimerizable anthracene units enables spatiotemporal modulation of cross‐linking density and nearly 400‐fold stiffness tuning. Integrating programmable anisotropy, photopatterning, self‐healing, and photowelding within a single framework, this bioinspired “one network–multifunction ...

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 ...
