ESG Performance and Credit Risk: Evidence From Chinese Manufacturing Companies
ABSTRACT This study investigates the effect of corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance on credit risk using a sample of manufacturing firms listed on China's Shanghai and Shenzhen A‐share markets from 2009 to 2021. Employing fixed effects, the generalised method of moments, and instrumental variable models, we find that ...

Role of freshwater floodplain-tidal slough complex in the persistence of the endangered delta smelt.
Seasonal floodplain wetland is one of the most variable and diverse habitats found in coastal ecosystems, yet it is also one of the most highly altered by humans.

ABSTRACT Environmental exposure to heavy metals poses a threat to human health. Several studies documented harmful effects on the liver after arsenic and nickel exposure at concentrations beyond permissible limits. Nevertheless, the impact of a simultaneous exposure to both elements on hepatic biochemistry and histology remains unelucidated. Therefore,

Modeling Delta Smelt Losses at the South Delta Export Facilities
I previously estimated proportional losses of delta smelt to the water export facilities in the south Delta (Kimmerer 2008). This note is in response to Miller (2010), who disputes these estimated losses on several grounds.

Lipid correction of hydrogen stable isotope ratios in fish
Abstract Lipids are known to affect stable isotope ratio of organisms, especially δ13C values, and simple arithmetic lipid‐correction procedures have been developed based on the carbon to nitrogen ratio (C : N) that is a proxy for lipid content. Equivalent issues will likely arise with the increasing use of hydrogen isotopes in ecology, but as yet no ...

Ecological analysis of helminths in vendace and smelt from lake Onego
The parasite fauna of LakeOnegocommercial fish species – vendace, Coregonus albula L., and smelt, Osmerus eperlanus L., was studied. The prevalence, abundance distribution and age structure of the cestode Proteocephalus longicollis (Zeder, 1800) in ...

An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

ABSTRACT Regulated rivers represent complex hydrological systems where groundwater–surface water interactions are governed by natural conditions and human interventions. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of groundwater–surface water exchanges in the Nechako River, British Columbia (Canada), using numerical simulations.

Growth of different year classes of smelt Osmerus eperlanus L. in Lake Tyrifjorden, Norway
Smelt Osmerus eperlanus L. were collected during spawning run in May in Lake Tyrifjorden in southern Norway. Age determination was carried out by otoliths. Fish length (Y) and otolith radius (X) were correlated (r = 0.954).

This study validates a recycling pathway for converting interconnect assemblies from end‐of‐life SOC stacks into commercial‐grade AISI 304 steels. Using scrap‐based steelmaking operations, austenitic cast steels with <4.0% δ‐ferrite are successfully produced.
