ESG investing and pollution outsourcing

open access: yesStrategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Can environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investors hold businesses accountable for their environmental impact? Extending institutional theory and analyzing a global sample of firms from 2006 to 2019, we argue that, in response to ESG investors' institutional pressures, firms may intensify pollution outsourcing to ...

Large‐Scale Structural Dynamics in the Tail Fiber Modulate the Infective Transition of the T7 Bacteriophage

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
During host recognition, the fibers of T7 bacteriophages transition from a capsid bound state to an extended conformation, which requires some level of fiber flexibility. By using high‐speed atomic force microscopy, we show that the fibers have an internal molecular hinge and a torsionally compliant coiled‐coil region.

Emerging Aluminum‐Ion Capacitors and Lessons from Battery Chemistry

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Al‐ion energy storage is gaining momentum as demand grows for safer, lower‐cost, and more sustainable alternatives to Li‐based technologies. Aluminum's abundance, recyclability, and trivalent charge offer high charge capacity and scalable device potential.

Perfluorohexanone for Clean Fire Suppression: Mechanisms, System Design, Applications, and Future Directions

open access: yesSafety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Driven by halon and high GWP agent phase out, perfluorohexanone is increasingly deployed in enclosures such as data centers, marine machinery spaces, and industrial process lines. This review summarizes application performance, discharge and distribution design, material compatibility, and byproduct control and maps practical gaps for large volume and ...

Enhancing durability of steam‐cured precast concrete culverts using SCMs: A comparative study with delithiated beta spodumene

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Steam curing is commonly used to manufacture precast culverts to accelerate early strength development. This study investigates the effect of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) on the permeability properties of steam‐cured precast concrete culverts.

Reverse engineering strut‐and‐tie models for assessing reinforced concrete structures

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Strut‐and‐tie models enable the design of reinforced concrete structures with static or geometrical discontinuities, providing interpretability and control over the load path. These models are valuable for designing discontinuity regions of new structures and for validating nonlinear finite‐element analysis results. However, developing a strut‐

Embedded Interactions and Selective Disclosure: Network Effects on Conversations aboard Skylab

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
How do absent others influence our interactions? We argue in this paper that interactions are embedded within networks formed by chains of specific relationships between known third parties. The anticipation of future interactions with external others conditions our interpretation of the current situation and affects our behavior in the interaction. We

Architecting and Industrializing Advanced Production and Manufacturing Systems for Critical Industries

open access: yesSystems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advanced production systems play a vital role in modern society. Such systems are developed and industrialized over multiple years and at great expense. The complexities of these systems are exacerbated in the case of metal additive manufacturing, which involves numerous process variables and relies on various auxiliary systems.
