On an Elastic-Plastic Beam with the Rotation Constraint at the Support

Engineering Transactions, 1985
The behaviour of the geometrically linear elastic-plastic beam with the rotation constraint at the support is analysed. The problem considered belongs to the mechanics of systems at unilateral constraints. It appears that there exists an optimum value of

From Managing Innovation to Governing Value: Reconceptualizing the Role of Intellectual Property in the Sustainable Business Model

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The role of intellectual property (IP) in promoting or hindering sustainable innovation now forms a topical issue in innovation management. Its role in the sustainable business model remains imperfectly understood however, creating a simplified view of IP in relation to corporate sustainable development. Hence, this study sought to examine how

Poroelastic Medium with Non-Penetrating Crack Driven by Hydraulic Fracture: FEM Approximation Using HHT-α and Semi-Smooth Newton Methods

Algorithms
A new class of poroelastic dynamic contact problems stemming from hydraulic fracture theory is introduced and studied. The two-phase medium consists of a solid phase and pores which are saturated with a Newtonian fluid.

Ovarian transposition before radiotherapy in cervical cancer patients: functional outcome and the adequate dose constraint

Radiation Oncology, 2019
Background The data regarding a transposed ovary in intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) are not sufficient. Here we aim to investigate the adequate dose constraint of ovarian transposition before radiotherapy in cervical cancer patients. Methods This

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

Managing Sustainability‐Related Human Rights Risks: The Role of Multilevel Governance and Institutional Accountability

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability‐related human rights risks, including forced labour, labour exploitation and other forms of human rights abuse, remain persistent challenges across countries, particularly where corporate accountability and national institutional frameworks are weak.

Outcomes of a Parent-Delivered Baby-mCIMT Model for Infants at High Risk of Unilateral Cerebral Palsy Using Remote Coaching in Telerehabilitation

Children
There is growing evidence of the positive effects of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) for infants at high risk of unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP) when provided by parents with in-person coaching/supervision from occupational therapists during ...
