Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The debate on the environmental impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) continues to evolve; however, it is widely shown that FDI worsens environmental pollution in developing countries due to their institutional deficiencies. Currently, there is limited evidence on the synergistic effect of political corruption, which is corruption across ...

Study on locomotion systems of lunar exploration roverson loose soil
Studies in Science and Technology, 2012 In future lunar exploration missions, lunar rovers are required to traverse over very rough terrain. On the lunar surface, there are covered with soils, which are named regolith. Regolith is easy to slide.

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.Abstract When I was 12, my family told me a story about their community falling apart and coming together, a time when someone tried putting a nuclear facility in their (our?) hometown. Since we moved when I was too young to remember, the story had little significance until I embarked on a “hometown” ethnographic journey for my dissertation.
