Tracking Climate and Environmental Attention: A News‐Based Composite Index

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study introduces the Climate and Environmental Attention Index, a composite indicator that tracks media attention to climate and environmental issues. Based on the Semantic Brand Score, the proposed index extracts significant signals from unstructured text, going beyond traditional measures of word frequency and sentiment.

DELTA SHOCK WAVES AS A LIMIT OF SHOCK WAVES

Journal of Hyperbolic Differential Equations, 2007
We discus the existence of delta shock waves obtained as a limit of two shock waves. For that purpose we perturb a prototype of weakly hyperbolic 2 × 2 system (sometimes called the "generalized pressureless gas dynamics model") by an additional term (called the "generalized vanishing pressure"). The obtained perturbed system is strictly hyperbolic and

Wave-function shock waves

Physical Review A, 1992
When a Rydberg state is suddenly excited to an autoionizing Rydberg state by a short-pulse core-electron excitation, a shock wave is created in the Rydberg electron's wave function. This shock wave originates at small r, at the excited core, and propagates outward.

On converging shock waves

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. A. Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1987
Abstract An approximate theory of shock dynamics is used to study the behaviour of converging cylindrical shocks. For cylindrical shocks with regular polygonal-shaped cross sections, exact solutions are found, showing that an original polygonal shape repeats at successive intervals with successive contractions in scale. In this sense,

On reflection of shock waves and shock-wave configurations

Technical Physics Letters, 2008
A new approach to the problem of unsteady reflection of shock waves is proposed. It is shown that the type and parameters of the shock wave reflection configuration depend on the type of an object (single shock versus shock-wave configuration) incident on the reflecting surface.

Stability of shock waves

Soviet Physics Uspekhi, 1989
The progress already made in studies of the stability of shock waves and some tasks for the future are reviewed. The following aspects of the problem are discussed: 1) stability of shock waves as hydrodynamic discontinuities irrespective of the events which occur in the relaxation zone of a wave (this aspect includes also the problem of stability of a ...

Interstellar Shock Waves

Science, 1991
An understanding of interstellar shock waves is crucial in determining the structure of the interstellar medium. By causing the gas to radiate, interstellar shocks provide astronomers with valuable diagnostics on both the physical conditions in the interstellar medium and the energy source that produced the shock.

On the Measurement of Shock Waves

IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics and Frequency Control, 1987
The classic theoretical formulations of finite-amplitude distortion invariably depict continuous sinusoidal waves which develop into sawtooth or N-shaped waves. In practice, where ultrasonic wave- forms at high intensities are measured by a PVDF hydrophone con- nected to an oscilloscope, waveforms are observed with gross asym- metries between positive ...

Attosecond Shock Waves

Physical Review Letters, 2013
Shock-wave formation is a generic scenario of wave dynamics known in nonlinear acoustics, fluid dynamics, astrophysics, seismology, and detonation physics. Here, we show that, in nonlinear optics, remarkably short, attosecond shock transients can be generated through a strongly coupled spatial and temporal dynamics of ultrashort light pulses ...
