Sustainability Challenges to the Steel Industry in a Developing Country: Sanctions and Security Issues at the Forefront

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article contributes to sustainability research by investigating the complex, geopolitically induced challenges faced by industrial supply chains under international sanctions. Using Iran's steel industry as a case, it examines sustainability barriers through the lens of stakeholder theory. A mixed methods approach was employed.

The Holst spin foam model via cubulations

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2012
Spin foam models are an attempt at a covariant or path integral formulation of canonical loop quantum gravity. The construction of such models usually relies on the Plebanski formulation of general relativity as a constrained BF theory and is based on ...

Metasurface Enhanced Photothermal Cement Foam for Robust and High‐Throughput Seawater Desalination

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
Schematic of 3D metasurface‐enhanced cement foam for robust and high‐throughput seawater desalination. This study presents a cement‐based solar evaporator (CSE) fabricated in one step via viscoelastic lithography with simple negative pressure. In addition to boosting solar‐to‐vapor conversion efficiency via excellent light‐harvesting capacity, the ...

Spatially resolved 23Na magnetic resonance dispersion measurement in porous media

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Quantitative 23Na MRI was employed to analyze dispersion in realistic core plug samples and was compared with the conventional breakthrough curve. 23Na MRI provided a more effective aassessment of core plug heterogeneity than the conventional method. Abstract Tracer tests are widely used in the petroleum industry to assess reservoir core plugs, relying

Double Sided Traction Force Microscopy: A Method to Confine Cells for Physiologically Relevant Force Measurements

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper we describe a technique to make a confined environment of variable stiffness that is suitable for high‐resolution live‐cell imaging. This versatile and adaptable technique enables cell confinement between soft elastic surfaces made from polyacrylamide gels.

Wick products of the free Bose field

open access: yesJournal of Functional Analysis, 1989
AbstractWe consider Wick products of the free Bose field in the abstract context of a complex Hilbert space H equipped with a self-adjoint operator A satisfying A ⩾ εI for some ε > 0. Let (K, W, Γ, ν) be the free Bose field over H, and let H = dΓ(A). Let H∞ and K∞ denote D∞(A) and D∞(H) respectively, given their natural Frechét topologies. Then for any

Boards of Directors That Transform: A Study on How Specific Architectural Components Drive ESG Performance

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores the potential influence of key components of the board of directors' architecture on ESG outcomes. Specifically, we focus on the effects of demographic components (gender and cultural diversity), structural and compositional factors (size, CEO‐Chair separation, and the presence of independent/non‐executive directors), and ...

Sex‐specific elevated incidence of glaucoma associated with topiramate versus valproate or lamotrigine in epilepsy, not migraine: A population‐based cohort study

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Topiramate has been linked to increased glaucoma risk, potentially through mechanisms involving ocular fluid shifts. However, comparative risks vs other antiseizure medications (ASMs) and variation by sex or indication remain uncertain.
