Barriers and Enablers of Circular Economy in Electrical and Electronic Equipment: A Systematic Literature Review

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rapid technological change, shorter lifecycles and rising demand for electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) are increasing waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and emphasise the need for a circular economy. This paper identifies barriers and enablers of the circular transition in EEE and outlines interventions.

Slip of grip of a molecular motor on a crowded track: Modeling shift of reading frame of ribosome on RNA template

, 2016
We develop a stochastic model for the programmed frameshift of ribosomes synthesizing a protein while moving along a mRNA template. Normally the reading frame of a ribosome decodes successive triplets of nucleotides on the mRNA in a step-by-step manner ...

Turning Green Into Gold: The Impact of Green Intellectual Capital on Performance in European Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of green intellectual capital (GIC)—green human, structural and relational capital—on business performance in European firms. Using Eurobarometer 498 data and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS‐SEM), results show that GIC explains 15.4% of the variance in business performance, with green ...
