Triaxial compression testing of multicomponent geomaterials from quartz-poor (syenitic) systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This paper focuses on mafic microgranular enclaves enclosed in quartz-poor igneous rocks and their effect on strength properties of the rock massif. The study examines host rock–enclave multicomponent geomaterials from enclave-bearing syenitic rocks from

Sailing From Penalties to Accountability: Business Strategies and Governance for Firms to Innovate After Environmental Misconduct

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Firms' continuous pursuit of making a profit in the competitive market may ignore the actions related to environmental responsibilities. This set of actions for financial gains constitutes environmental misconduct, which not only harms ecosystems and communities but also brings reputational damage. Negative press and social media amplification
