Impacts of refining Canadian partially upgraded bitumen: Fluid catalytic cracking

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract In this study, we examine the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) performance of vacuum gas oil (VGO) from partially upgraded bitumen (PUB), a novel refinery feedstock from Canadian bitumen. FCC experiments were conducted in a lab‐scale FCC unit with VGOs from two different PUBs prepared using thermal cracking and solvent deasphalting, along with ...

Strategic Integration or Compliance Lag? Mapping Trends and Evolution of SBSC Through the Lens of the ESRS Framework

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The sustainability balanced scorecard (SBSC) has become an influential framework for integrating sustainability into strategic management. Despite its growing adoption, research remains fragmented, and insufficiently aligned with the sustainability regulatory frameworks.

From Nature to Supply Chain: Exploring Biomimicry‐Based Pathways to Sustainability and Competitive Advantage

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inspired by insights gleaned from biomimicry theory, this paper addresses the persistent lack of theoretically grounded research in sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) and examines how nature‐inspired biomimicry principles could enhance various dimensions of its competitiveness. This study's theoretical contribution lies in its proposal

Enhancement of the Plant‐Accessible Phosphate Fraction in Sewage Sludge Ashes by Na+ or K+ Addition Prior to Combustion

ChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
The addition of Na2CO3 or K2CO3 to sewage sludge prior to combustion leads to the production of ashes containing phosphate in the form of buchwaldite‐like phases (Ca(Na/K)PO4). Compared to conventional sewage sludge mono‐ashes, such Na‐ or K‐ashes show greatly increased P‐solubilities and proved to be potent P‐fertiliser materials in greenhouse ...

Classroom boundaries and teacher agency: Challenges of implementing Ireland's new primary curriculum

The Curriculum Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This article reports on a doctoral study examining teacher agency in one Irish primary school at a timely moment ahead of the implementation of the new Primary Curriculum Framework in September 2025. The framework embeds teacher agency as a central professional principle, yet findings from this study reveal a more cautious and bounded reality.

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

Deep 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).

Investigation on the mechanical behavior of the multiple‐layered lining structure of a water conveyance tunnel with high internal water pressure

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study presents large‐scale similarity model testing (geometric ratio 3.6) of an innovative multiple‐layered lining system—comprising exterior precast segments, middle self‐compacting concrete, and an interior steel pipe—for high‐pressure (0.75 MPa) water conveyance tunnels.

Cardiovascular events and mortality in adults with late onset seizures: Focus on enzyme‐modulating antiseizure medications

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Using a Dutch insurance claims registry, we examine whether people with epilepsy have an increased risk of major ischemic cardiovascular events or death compared to people without epilepsy. We also assess whether this risk differs between users of enzyme‐modulating and non‐enzyme‐modulating antiseizure medications (ASMs).

Triple Porosity Model and Its Application for Coal Seam Gas Injection Displacement of CH4

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
(1)Compared with injecting CO2, injecting N2 has a shorter penetration time, but the CH4 flow rate takes longer to stabilize, meaning the displacement process lasts longer. (2)The flow rate of CH4 rapidly decreases and gradually approaches 0; the flow rates of N2 and CO2 are 0 before breakthrough, then increase rapidly and eventually stabilize.

Similar locomotor patterns across Quarter Horse disciplines inform lameness assessment

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Lineage‐based selection is central to the Quarter Horse industry and is often justified by the assumption that morphology determines locomotor function. However, objective evidence linking static conformation to discipline‐specific locomotor behaviour under standardised conditions remains limited.
