Leveraging Double Materiality as a Decision‐Making Tool for ESG Management and Reporting in Hydroponics

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and double materiality can be integrated within the agri‐food sector, with a particular focus on a company operating in hydroponic agriculture. This study conducts a comprehensive double materiality assessment to evaluate the organization's socio‐environmental ...

Time-Dependent Resilient Response of Unbound Granular Materials

, 2019
The deformation response of unbound granular materials (UGMs) is composed of two distinct parts: permanent and resilient. Both parts are commonly modelled assuming time-independent behavior. This work focused on the resilient response part; the objective was to experimentally confirm or invalidate the time-independence assumption.

On the defence of responsible human judgement in peer review

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Peer review is essential for scientific progress. When it works well, it combines expertise, fairness, proportionality, skepticism, generosity, and discretion. When it fails, it becomes a theatre for egotistical display, laziness, coercion, and, lately, reliance on artificial intelligence tools. Editors, reviewers, and authors must join forces

Effects of Trimethoprim on Three Previously Proposed Putative Biomarkers for OCT2/MATE‐Mediated Renal Drug‐Drug Interactions in Healthy Volunteers

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Regulatory agencies request the assessment of the potential of new drugs to cause transporter‐mediated drug‐drug interactions (DDI). This assessment can be improved by integrating endogenous biomarkers during drug development. Regarding the renal excretion of drugs such as metformin, the organic cation transporter (OCT) 2 and multidrug and toxin ...

Corporate Social Responsibility and Corporate Tax Avoidance in Europe: Evidence From the Anti‐Tax Avoidance Directives

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate tax avoidance (CTA) in the European Union, exploiting institutional variation arising from CSR disclosure regimes and the introduction of the Anti‐Tax Avoidance Directives (ATAD).

Recent advances in multifunctional soft robots: A materials–structures–systems co‐design perspective for synergistic integration

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Soft robots, engineered from highly compliant materials, offer superior adaptability and safety in unstructured environments compared to their rigid counterparts. Recent advancements, fueled by bio‐inspiration and material programmability, have led to the rapid co‐evolution of their core modules: actuation, sensing, protection, energy, and ...

Materials and Music: Selective Imperfection as a Generative Framework for Analysis, Creativity and Discovery

Interdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.
Vibrations in matter, from spider webs to molecules, water to flames, share a grammar with music. We propose that creativity emerges when constraints force expansion beyond existing possibilities. Selective imperfection restores balance, enabling invention.

Artificial intelligence–driven decoupling structure–activity relationship for lithium‐ion batteries

InfoScience, EarlyView.
Artificial intelligence can efferently accelerate the high‐throughput screening of battery materials, the analysis of multiphase mechanisms, and the precise prediction of capacity and cycle life. This review systematically summarizes the applications of machine learning (ML) in decoupling the complex structure‐activity relationships of lithium‐ion ...
