Harmonizing Social Impact Assessment in the Bioeconomy: A Cross‐Regional Fuzzy‐Delphi Approach

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The bioeconomy transition risks underrepresenting social sustainability, while existing Social Life Cycle Assessment (S‐LCA) applications remain insufficient for comparison and decision support due to heterogeneous and non‐standardized selection of social impact categories. This study proposes a cross‐regional baseline set of impact categories

Digitalization in Sustainability Reporting and Text Attributes of Non‐Financial Disclosure: Evidence From Italian Listed Companies

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent regulatory initiatives, including the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), are reinforcing the demand for more structured, transparent, and accessible sustainability reporting. However, empirical evidence on how digital tools influence the narrative dimension of these disclosures remains limited.

Acoustic‐driven surface cleaning with millimeter‐sized bubbles at translational resonance

open access: yesDroplet, EarlyView.
Time‐lapse visualization comparing bubble trajectories. The top panel (0 Hz) shows a bubble's linear path under no acoustic forcing, while the bottom panel (50 Hz) demonstrates the oscillatory motion induced by acoustic waves at a resonance mode. This mechanism holds promising potential for applications such as surface cleaning.

Performance assessment of a potential underground thermal storage facility: Case study of the closed mine Prosper‐Haniel in the Ruhr coal mining area in Germany

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the feasibility of an underground closed‐loop thermal storage facility at a post‐mining site, intended for seasonal heat energy storage. Its principal design shows water flow directions in winter and summer (1, 2), heat pumps (3), an upper water reservoir (4), and connecting pipes (5).

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1059-1080, April 2025.
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Cooling mechanisms of spent fuel pools [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A study on the consecutive cooling mechanisms in a spent fuel pool following a loss of cooling accident, starting from a completely filled pool up until all pool water has evaporated, is presented in this report.

Effects of hybrid metal oxide nanoparticles on the tribological and emission attributes of algae‐derived biofuel in compression ignition engines

open access: yesEnvironmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract The growing demand for sustainable fuels has accelerated the development of algae‐derived biodiesel for compression‐ignition engines. In this study, Chlorella vulgaris methyl ester (AME) exhibited physicochemical properties comparable to diesel and satisfied ASTM D6751 fuel quality requirements, making it suitable for blending.

Experimental Investigation and ANN‐Based Prediction of CI Engine Performance Fueled With Waste Plastic Oil–Diesel Blends Containing Al2O3 Nanoparticles

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Waste plastic oil–diesel blends enhanced with Al2O3 nanoparticles were experimentally evaluated in a compression ignition engine under varying injection timings and modeled using artificial neural networks (ANNs). The optimized WP20PD + 1000 ppm blend improved brake thermal efficiency and reduced fuel consumption, while ANN prediction achieved high ...
