Intellectual capital and supply chain resilience

Journal of Intellectual Capital, 2021
PurposeThe main objective of this study is to test whether firms with a higher level of intellectual capital (IC) perform better in terms of their supply chain resilience compared to those with lower levels of IC. Likewise, the study also examines the impact of IC (characterized by human capital, relational capital and structural capital) on supply ...

Poly(1,4‐anthraquinone) as an Organic Electrode Material: Interplay of the Electronic and Structural Properties due to the Unusual Lone‐Pair‐π Conjugation

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.
In this study, the unique role of the unusual lone‐pair‐π conjugation mechanism in poly(1,4‐anthraquinone) (P14AQ) is explored as an organic electrode material. Unlike traditional π‐π interactions, P14AQ's conjugation involves lone pairs of oxygen atoms interacting with the π cloud of adjacent units, enabling stable charge transport even with minimal π‐

Neutrosophic Analysis of Supply Chain Resilience

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems, 2023
The objective of this research is to extend the TOPSIS method by including single-valued neutrosophic sets to evaluate the vulnerabilities present in the supply chain of a footwear manufacturing company in the city of Ambato. To achieve this goal, principles of neutrosophic logic and the theory of single-valued neutrosophic sets were used.
