Think Global, Act Local? Fortune 500 Business Strategies for Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11)

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The role of business towards achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has been well established. However, SDG contextualization continues to pose a conundrum, particularly for firms operating in multiple contexts. This becomes even more problematic in the case of SDG 11, the only goal in the sustainable development agenda directly

Impact Measuring in Sustainable Ventures: A Process Perspective

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Impact measurement is crucial for sustainable ventures to quantify their contribution to sustainable development. Although research has highly focused on impact measurement as a static activity, we conduct a qualitative study to explore how impact measuring as a process unfolds over time.

Transient thermal modelling of green anode cooling in the aluminium industry

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Summary of the methodology. Abstract Anodes, which are used in electrolytic aluminium production, are made by mixing dry aggregate (petroleum coke, rejected anodes, and butts) with coal tar pitch, compacting the resulting paste (green anode), and baking (baked anode). After compaction, the anodes are cooled to maintain their structural integrity before

Invariant Measure and Universality of the 2D Yang–Mills Langevin Dynamic

Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We prove that the Yang–Mills (YM) measure for the trivial principal bundle over the two‐dimensional torus, with any connected, compact structure group, is invariant for the associated renormalised Langevin dynamic. Our argument relies on a combination of regularity structures, lattice gauge‐fixing and Bourgain's method for invariant measures ...

Nonsilting transport characteristics of coal slurry in a deep underground fluidization conveying pipeline under the action of a guide vane swirler

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Aiming at the scientific frontiers of in situ fluidized mining of deep resources, a deep coal fluidized pipeline lifting system based on hydraulic conveying has been proposed. To solve the issue of particle sedimentation of large particles in horizontal connection sections, a solution involving the installation of guide vane‐type swirlers in the ...

Bioinspired Janus Evaporator for Efficient Desalination of Saline‐Alkali and Seawater Through Photothermal‐Capillary Effects

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This work combines textile technology to ingeniously integrate a hydrophobic PP/MXene photothermal sheath with a hydrophilic cotton core into functionalized yarns, successfully developing a Janus core‐sheath evaporator (PM‐CSY‐F). The evaporator demonstrates outstanding evaporation rates and efficient desalination efficiency when applied to treating ...
