Charting the Course: Real‐World Application of Sustainability and Innovation Principles in the Portuguese Blue Economy Firms

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The blue economy has emerged as a key sector for linking sustainability and innovation, yet existing research has largely overlooked how firms operationalize these processes in practice. This study addresses that gap by asking: How do Portuguese blue economy firms embed sustainability‐oriented innovation (SOI) into their strategies, and what ...

Multi-fixed smeared 3d crack model to simulate the behavior of fiber reinforced concrete structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
When a concrete structure is subjected to a multi-stress state, different crack modes can be developed. To simulate with enough accuracy these fracture modes, a three dimensional model must be used.

Circular Economy Pathways for Airport Climate Change Mitigation

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Airport operators face growing climate‐change pressures; the circular economy offers pathways to reduce impacts and recover resources. We examine how airport operators apply the circular economy in practice. We use an exploratory qualitative multicase design based on practitioner‐generated documents (e.g., press releases and sustainability ...

Variability of the bond and mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This main objective of this research is to evaluate the variability of the mechanical properties (compressive strength, modulus of elasticity and tensile strength) and bond strength of the self-compacting concrete (SCC), with 50 MPa compressive strength

Insights Into Symmetry and Substitution Patterns Governing Singlet–Triplet Energy Gap in the Chemical Space of Azaphenalenes

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Molecules that violate Hund's rule by exhibiting an inverted singlet–triplet gap (STG), where the first excited singlet (S1${\rm S}_1$) lies below the triplet (T1${\rm T}_1$), are rare but hold great promise as efficient fifth‐generation light emitters.

Patterns and Drivers of Spanish Corporate Commitment to the UN Global Compact: A Quantitative Approach

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a quantitative assessment of Spanish companies' commitment to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Analyzing over 1000 participating firms, we identify prioritization patterns and examine structural factors influencing SDG adherence.

Shear Behavior of Self Compacting Concrete

open access: yesJournal of Engineering and Sustainable Development, 2012
Twelve self compacting concrete (SCC) beams were cast to investigate the shear behavior under two concentrated load. All beams have a constant longitudinal steel ratio of (0.02065) and constant gross section area of (17000)mm2.

Critical Discourse Analysis in Corporate Reports: Legitimation Strategies in the Context of Environmental Controversies

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the use of environmental disclosure as a strategic tool to manage legitimacy crises in a mining company, adopting critical discourse analysis (CDA) as the main methodology. Focusing on a case of environmental disaster, this research reveals how corporate narratives can be manipulated to minimize responsibility and reinforce

Sismabeton: a new frontier for ductile concrete [PDF]

open access: yes
The high ductility of Fiber Reinforced Self-consolidating concrete (called Sismabeton) can be developed not only in tension but also in compression. This aspect is evidenced in the present paper by measuring the mechanical response of normal concrete (NC)
