Design of Normal Concrete Mixtures Using Workability-Dispersion-Cohesion Method

, 2020
The workability-dispersion-cohesion method is a new proposed method for the design of normal concrete mixes. The method uses special coefficients called workability-dispersion and workability-cohesion factors.

Nonlinear permuted Granger causality

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Granger causality is an established, contentious method that seeks causal temporal connections via association and precedence. While not true causal inference, it assists in mapping networks of information flow that may warrant further study.

Beyond Participation: A Multitheoretical Framework for Stakeholder Relationship Management in Circular Economy Initiatives

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular economy (CE) initiatives require coordination among stakeholders whose roles, resources, and interests are often unevenly distributed across value networks. Existing CSR, ESG, and stakeholder engagement frameworks offer useful starting points, but they do not fully explain how these relationships are governed during circular ...

Organising Innovation as a New Commons: Eliciting Perspectives, Practices and Tensions in Multi‐Stakeholder Experimentations

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores how innovation is organised as a new commons within place‐based experimental settings characterised by institutional plurality. Drawing on scholarship on commons, commoning, and transformative innovation, we approach innovation as a collectively produced resource whose organisation becomes complex in contexts where market ...
