Physical Fractional Step Method for Solution of 2D Water Flow around a Spur Dike

, 2011
A numerical model for simulating of 2D flow around a spur dike was presented by using the physical fractional-step method. The water governing equations were separated into three parts. The first is a convective problem; the second is a diffusive problem;

Broad Skills, Smaller Footprints? Generalist CEOs and Firm Biodiversity Exposure

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine whether CEO generalist skills predict firm‐level biodiversity risk exposure, an emerging strategic and financial concern. Using the biodiversity indicator developed based on textual analysis and the General Ability Index, we find that firms led by generalist CEOs are associated with significantly lower disclosed biodiversity risk ...
