The Geography of Success: A Spatial Analysis of Export Intensity in the Italian Wine Industry

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the paradox of how Italy's fragmented, SME‐dominated wine industry achieves global export success. Moving beyond purely firm‐centric explanations, we test whether export intensity is spatially dependent, clustering geographically in regional ecosystems.

Analysis of the Bearing Capacity of Concrete-Filled Thin-Walled Square Steel Tubes with Helical Stiffening Based on Local Buckling

Buildings
To address the issue of local buckling in thin-walled steel tube concrete columns, a form of helical stiffening ribs was proposed. Axial compression tests were conducted on five sections of square steel tube concrete column specimens.

A sensitivity analysis of the parameters contributing to load development in geogrid pullout testing [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
A dataset of 334 geogrids pullout tests was analysed to identify the soil and geogrid parameters that have the most significant effect on the rate of load development (K) during pullout.

Patterns of spinal motion, kinematic spaces and the land‐to‐sea transition in carnivorans

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Using 3D reconstructions, we quantify intervertebral joint mobility to investigate how cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebral regions evolved distinct kinematic roles in pinnipeds. The findings reveal lineage‐specific adaptations for swimming and highlight the functional significance of vertebral joint flexibility in ecological transitions.

Descriptive, comparative, and functional anatomy of the facial musculature in cattle (Bos taurus)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Facial expressions can provide insight into animal emotions and pain, but no standardized system for assessing the entire facial display in cattle (Bos taurus Linnaeus) exists. The Facial Action Coding System (FACS), originally developed for humans, identifies distinct facial movements based on mimetic muscles.

Seismic Behavior Investigations of the Haunched Joint with Ribbed Anchor Webs in CFDST Structures

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2023
The haunched joint with ribbed anchor webs in the concrete-filled double steel tubular (CFDST) structure was proposed in this study. The CFDST column and the steel beam were connected by ribbed webs, which were anchored inside the column and connected to

How Corporations Operationalize Climate‐Related Risks and Opportunities: Evidence From Qualitative Expert Interviews

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate‐related risks and opportunities have become a central concern for companies as climate change increasingly affects business models, value chains, and long‐term competitiveness. However, limited evidence exists about how corporations confront the attendant practical and strategic challenges of climate‐related risk and opportunity ...

Rotational restraint of cold-formed Z-purlins given by the trapezoidal sheeting with additional stiffening ribs [PDF]

Archives of Civil Engineering
The Eurocode 3-1-3 [1] provisions, according to which the rotational restraint of a cold-formed Z-purlin given by the sheeting has to be determined, set out guidelines for the first-generation trapezoidal sheets only in strictly defined cases, and for ...

PARTIAL THEORETICAL TASKS OF STIFFNESS WORK IN CAPACITIVE STRUCTURES

Nauka ta progres transportu, 2009
In the paper two special theoretical problems as for working of stiffening ribs in steel capacity structures for granular materials are presented. The first problem is devoted to determination of degree of joint work of the wall together with the rib ...
