Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

Rebound Effects in Circular Manufacturing: Overview of Potential Rebound Mechanisms Activated by Circular Strategies Across Key Business Processes

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular economy (CE) is increasingly adopted by the manufacturing industry to decouple economic growth from environmental impacts by optimizing resource use and minimizing waste generation. Nevertheless, circular manufacturing often triggers systemic responses that diminish or offset their potential environmental gains, resulting in the so ...

Experimental investigation into fire resistance of HC‐FST columns under axial compression

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2007
A certain amount of analytical methods for determining fire resistance of concrete filled steel tubular columns are developed. Mostly those methods refer to or have as an origin the data about the results of real experiments.

Zero Deforestation Commitments and Industry 4.0 Enabling Technologies: An Analysis of Their Role in Mitigating Deforestation

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the role of corporate zero‐deforestation commitments (ZDCs) and Industry 4.0 (I4.0) enabling technologies in mitigating deforestation. Drawing on data from 110 companies included in the Forest 500 dataset, the research explores whether sustainability commitments and digital innovation influence firms' deforestation ...

Application of Castigliano’s Theorem in the Analysis of Semi-Circular ARCH Deflection

Civil and Environmental Engineering
The article presents an analytical solution for determining the vertical deformation of a three-hinged arch subjected to a point load at its apex. The theoretical approach is grounded in Castigliano’s theorem and utilizes the principle of superposition ...
