Effective compilation of constraint models [PDF]

, 2010
Constraint Programming is a powerful technique for solving large-scale combinatorial (optimisation) problems. However, it is often inaccessible to users without expert knowledge in the area, precluding the wide-spread use of Constraint Programming ...

Reciprocity on the Edge of Distance Paradox: How Sustainability Motives and Hypocrisy Shape Consumer Responses to Nearshoring

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite growing interest in corporate relocation decisions and sustainability, the existing literature is limited in its consumer‐centric approach. Integrating social exchange theory and construal level theory, this research investigates how consumers perceive sustainability‐driven nearshoring motives (i.e., socio‐economic vs.

Gait adaptations in step length and push-off force during walking with functional asymmetry

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
Human walking is highly adaptable, allowing individuals to maintain efficiency and stability across diverse conditions. However, how gait adapts to functional asymmetry remains poorly understood.

Standard Inelastic Shocks and the Dynamics of Unilateral Constraints [PDF]

, 1985
This paper is devoted to mechanical systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom let $q^1, \ldots, q^n$ denote (possibly local) coordinates inthe configuration manifold $Q$. In addition to the constraints, bilateral and frictionless, which have permitted such a finite-dimensional parametrization of $Q$ , we assume the system submitted to a finite

Digital Orientation and Green Practices in Chilean SMEs: Innovation as the Pathway to Competitive Performance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how digital strategic orientation (DSO) and environmental practices (EP) interact to shape innovation and performance among Chilean SMEs. Using survey data from 271 firms (February–May 2022), we estimate a generalized structured component analysis (GSCA) model that accommodates a nonrecursive relationship between DSO and EP.

Vestibular Perception following Acute Unilateral Vestibular Lesions. [PDF]

, 2013
Little is known about the vestibulo-perceptual (VP) system, particularly after a unilateral vestibular lesion. We investigated vestibulo-ocular (VO) and VP function in 25 patients with vestibular neuritis (VN) acutely (2 days after onset) and after ...

What Do We Know About Scope 3 Emissions in Small‐ and Medium‐Sized Enterprises? Mapping Current Knowledge and Advancing a Theory–Practice‐Oriented Framework

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although SMEs comprise over 90% of firms globally, research on their engagement with Scope 3 (value‐chain) greenhouse gas emissions remains limited. This PRISMA‐guided systematic review synthesises 49 SME‐relevant studies to develop a theory‐informed, practice‐oriented framework for more credible and sustained Scope 3 engagement.

Deterministic homogenization of variational inequalities with unilateral constraints

, 2018
The article studies the reiterated homogenization of linear elliptic variational inequalities arising in problems with unilateral constrains. We assume that the coefficients of the equations satisfy and abstract hypothesis covering on each scale a large set of concrete deterministic behavior such as the periodic, the almost periodic, the convergence at

Modeling the dynamics of a vibrating string with a finite distributed unilateral constraint: application to the sitar.

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2009
The free vibration response of an ideal string impacting a distributed parabolic obstacle located at its boundary has been analyzed, the goal being to understand and simulate a sitar string.
