Who Qualifies to Assure? The Professional and Managerial Capture of Sustainability Assurance
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines how the qualification of assurors in sustainability and environmental reporting assurance (SERA) is constructed and why it remains fiercely contested. Drawing on actor–network theory (ANT) and qualitative evidence from regulators, NGOs, assurors and reporting companies in India, we conceptualise ‘qualification’ as a ...

A lumped modelling framework for the epoxidation of vegetable oils and fatty acid methyl esters
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Epoxidized vegetable oils and fatty acid methyl esters are promising bio‐based alternatives to phthalates for plasticizer applications. Their synthesis typically involves the reaction of unsaturated double bonds with peracetic acid in a biphasic liquid–liquid system, where the simultaneous occurrence of reaction and phase partitioning makes ...

Learning sparse mixture‐of‐experts generalized linear models in ultrahigh dimensions
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Motivated by the challenges of heterogeneity and high dimensionality in the analysis of modern data, we investigate continuous regularization methods for learning sparse mixture‐of‐experts generalized linear models (MoE‐GLM). Although there are foundational results about regularized estimators in a broad class of regression models including ...

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a progressive autoimmune cholestatic disease for which modelling death, with transplantation as a competing event, is clinically important. Cox proportional hazards (PH) models are widely used, but standard diagnostics detect lack of fit without distinguishing non‐PH from misspecified covariate functions ...

Front Propagation Through a Perforated Wall
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We consider a bistable reaction– diffusion equation ut=Δu+f(u)$u_t=\Delta u +f(u)$ on RN${\mathbb {R}}^N$ in the presence of an obstacle K$K$, which is a wall of infinite span with many holes. More precisely, K$K$ is a closed subset of RN${\mathbb {R}}^N$ with smooth boundary such that its projection onto the x1$x_1$‐axis is bounded and that ...
