Residual Strength Prediction of Chemically Reactive Two‐Phase Nanofluid Flow in a Bingham–Papanastasiou Rheological Theory Using a Morlet‐Based Wavelet Neural Network Approach

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The behavior of nanofluid flow involving a zero‐mass flux condition has received considerable interest because of a realistic scenario. In reality, this condition confines the optimistic accumulation or disappearance of nanoparticles past a sheet, constructing a more physically realistic demonstration through several applications, such as heat

First‐Principles Study of Structural, Mechanical, Electronic, Thermodynamical, and Optical Properties of XGaO2 (X = Rb and Cs): Unlocking Its Green Energy Potential

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
This study employs density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the structural, mechanical, electronic, optical, and thermodynamic properties of RbGaO2 and CsGaO2. The calculated band structures and band‐edge positions indicate semiconducting behavior and favorable alignment for photocatalytic dye degradation and hydrogen evolution, highlighting ...

Biochar‐based fertilizers improve nutrient use efficiency in sunflower grown on a subtropical tidal soil

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Improving fertilizer use efficiency is essential for reducing environmental pollution, sustaining agricultural production, and maximizing the economic profitability of crop production systems. This study tested the hypothesis that the formulation strategy of biochar‐based fertilizers, rather than nutrient addition alone, is associated with ...

Funding Costs and Liquidity Creation: Does ESG Play Any Role?

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how banks' funding costs affect liquidity creation and whether environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance shapes this relationship. Using panel data for 136 U.S. commercial banks from 2005 to 2022, we show that higher funding costs are associated with lower liquidity creation, indicating that more expensive ...
