When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

Business and Biodiversity: Scaling Conservation Enterprises Within and Beyond Place for Transformative Change

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transformative change is required to address persistent and systemic drivers of biodiversity loss. There is an urgent need for innovative solutions that tackle root causes in place‐specific contexts. Evidence indicates that small, innovative, purpose‐driven businesses can serve as vehicles for developing place‐based solutions.

Application of artificial neural network and general machine learning modelling on CO2 adsorption in moisture equilibrated South African high and medium rank coals

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the effect of moisture on CO2 adsorption in South African coals using both experimental and machine learning approaches. Three coal samples (SL, TN, and EM) with varying ranks (RoVmr: 3.49%, 1.26%, and 0.64%, respectively) were collected from different regions of South Africa.

Turnaround Time Trends in Cervical Cytology Screening in South Africa, 2005–2023

Diagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Timely cervical cytology results are crucial for effective screening and early management of precancerous lesions. However, many low‐ and middle‐income countries face delays in turnaround time (TAT). This study assessed TAT for cytology screening results in South Africa from 2005 to 2023 and identified factors associated with TAT ...

Environmental DNA for Biodiversity Monitoring of Coral Reefs

, 2022
Coral reefs are globally significant repositories of marine biodiversity. Over 25% of all marine life depends on coral reefs at some point in their life cycle. Among the nine million species that live on the world’s coral reefs, many are undescribed.

Research progress and current status of dynamic wave propagation characteristics in rock mass: A review

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review elucidates the velocity–dispersion–attenuation coupling mechanisms of wave propagation in rock masses, compares six representative models, and reveals how pressure, temperature, mineral composition, and anisotropy jointly control dynamic responses in complex geological media.

Reef vision: A citizen science program for monitoring the fish faunas of artificial reefs

Fisheries Research, 2018
There has been a marked increase in the number of artificial reefs being deployed around the world, many of which are designed to increase catches of recreationally-targeted fish species. As artificial reef deployments should be accompanied by clear and measurable goals and thus subsequent environmental impact monitoring and performance evaluation ...
