abstract = {We have carried out a detailed analysis of the 3.4 ?m spectral feature arising from Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH),

using James Webb Space Telescope archival data. For the first time in an external galaxy (NGC 6240), we have identified two

distinct spectral components of the PAH 3.4 ?m feature: a shorter wavelength component at 3.395 ?m, which we attribute to

short aliphatic chains tightly attached to the aromatic rings of the PAH molecules; and a longer wavelength feature at 3.405 ?m

that arises from longer, more fragile, aliphatic chains that are weakly attached to the parent PAH molecule. These longer chains

are more easily destroyed by far-ultraviolet photons (>5 eV) and PAH thermal emission only occurs where PAH molecules

are shielded from more energetic photons by dense molecular gas. We see a very strong correlation in the morphology of the

PAH 3.395 ?m feature with the PAH 3.3 ?m emission, the latter arising from robust aromatic PAH molecules. We also see an

equally strong correlation between the PAH 3.405 ?m morphology and the warm molecular gas, as traced by H2 vibrational

lines. We show that the flux ratio PAH 3.395/PAH 3.405 < 0.3 corresponds strongly to regions where the PAH molecules are

shielded by dense molecular gas, so that only modestly energetic UV photons penetrate to excite the PAHs. Our work shows that

PAH 3.405 ?m and PAH 3.395 ?m emission features can provide robust diagnostics of the physical conditions of the interstellar

medium in external galaxies, and can be used to quantify the energies of the photon field penetrating molecular clouds.},

abstract = {Stream Processing Systems (SPSs) are designed to process continuous streams of events, often under highly variable input rates. Although prior work has explored dynamic operator replication, many existing approaches lack generalizability and perform suboptimally across diverse scenarios. In this article, we present MMP-SPS, a predictive self-adaptive framework that extends extends our prior PA-SPS system by introducing a multi-window control loop, support for multiple prediction models, and online model selection via RMSE-based evaluation and multi-armed bandits. Targeting environments with high-volume and fluctuating data streams, such as social media analytics and network traffic monitoring, the framework dynamically selects the most suitable model based on real-time workload characteristics using a reinforcement learning (RL) strategy. To prove the validity of our system, we deployed an implementation of MMP-SPS based on Apache Storm, and we evaluated it on Google Cloud Platform against real-world datasets. Experimental results show substantial improvements in latency, throughput, and resource utilization compared to static and single-model baselines. These findings underscore the potential of multi-model predictive adaptation for scalable and robust stream processing under dynamic conditions.},

abstract = {The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations equipped with classical boundary conditions have been extensively studied from both theoretical and numerical perspectives, and a wide variety of fractional-step and splitting methods have been developed to reduce their computational complexity. However, in many realistic flow configurations, standard boundary conditions are inadequate to accurately represent the physical behavior at open or artificial boundaries, where mixed or pressure-based conditions are more appropriate. Despite their practical relevance, such unconventional boundary conditions have received comparatively little attention in the design and analysis of consistent splitting schemes. In the present work, we propose a class of viscosity-splitting schemes for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations subject to non-standard boundary conditions. In particular, the velocity is prescribed in a Dirichlet sense on a portion of the boundary, while on the complementary part the tangential velocity together with the total pressure is imposed. The proposed schemes are constructed to ensure consistency with the continuous problem and to properly account for prescribed pressure on the boundary. To enhance mass conservation and improve numerical robustness, a grad-div stabilization term is incorporated into the formulation. The convergence and accuracy properties of the resulting methods are assessed using a series of numerical examples, which demonstrate their effectiveness in handling pressure boundary conditions and confirm the expected convergence behavior. These results indicate that the proposed viscosity-splitting approach provides a reliable and efficient method for the simulation of incompressible flows with physically relevant, non-standard boundary conditions.},

The model consists of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for the fluid flow and a set of advection-diffusion equations for the temperature and degree of conversion. The resulting system is strongly coupled and presents many additional nonlinearities as the physical parameters such as the viscosity, diffusion and source terms are assumed to depend on the temperature and/or degree of conversion. Using a fixed-point method we prove the existence and uniqueness of the weak solution for the considered problem. To solve the associated fixed-point problem we consider an iterative scheme and its convergence is also studied in the present study. Here, the proposed scheme uncouples the computation of velocity, temperature and degree of conversion using the fixed-point iteration and we theoretically establish its convergence towards the unique solution of the considered model. Numerical results obtained for two test examples are presented to verify the theoretical analysis and to assess the performance of the proposed algorithm. The obtained computational results for both examples support the theoretical expectations for a good numerical convergence with the developed estimates.},

abstract = {Alumina-fluorapatite (Al?O?-Fap) composite coatings deposited on 316?L stainless steel by Suspension High-Velocity Oxy-Fuel (SHVOF) spraying were investigated as candidate surfaces for prosthetic applications. Compared with conventional atmospheric plasma spraying (APS), SHVOF processing is known to produce denser coatings with improved adhesion, which is of interest for load-bearing biomedical interfaces. In this study, low fluorapatite contents (0-1?wt%) were incorporated into an alumina matrix to explore their influence on coating mechanical behavior. The coatings were characterized in terms of surface roughness, adhesion strength, and elastic properties. The results indicate that the addition of fluorapatite modifies the coating morphology and leads to an increase in surface roughness (Ra from ?1.7 to ?3.1 ?m), while maintaining adhesion values within the range reported for thermally sprayed bioceramic coatings. An increase in elastic modulus was also observed, from 59.7?GPa for pure alumina to 98.3?GPa for Al?O?-Fap (1?wt%), corresponding to an increase of approximately 64%, indicating a marked modification of the coating mechanical response. In parallel, a three-dimensional finite element (FE) model of a cylindrical 316?L implant inserted into cortical bone was developed using Abaqus/CAE to simulate the early stage of implantation. The model was used to evaluate von Mises stresses and contact pressures at the bone-implant interface. The simulations predict von Mises stresses of approximately 48?MPa and contact pressures ranging from 25 to 55?MPa during insertion, values consistent with those reported for cortical bone under similar conditions. However, these results depend on simplifying assumptions, including linear elastic and isotropic bone behavior and the absence of an explicit coating layer. Overall, this combined experimental-numerical approach provides quantitative insight into the effect of low fluorapatite additions on the mechanical performance of SHVOF-deposited alumina coatings. The results suggest that such coatings may contribute to improved mechanical compatibility at the implant interface, although further biological and in vivo investigations are required to confirm their clinical relevance.},

To address these concerns, we investigate the data of listed firms from 38 countries over the 2002 to 2019 time-period. The results show that eco-friendly firms are more sensitive to sustainability practices of their suppliers while offering or terminating their contracts. Surprisingly, the stringency of environmental policy negatively moderates this relationship due to the substitution effect. Finally, we document that eco-innovative firms experience an increase in their market value when they select or terminate their supply chain partners based on sustainability criteria. The results offer vital theoretical and policy insinuations for the discipline of sustainable operations and supply chain management.},

Based on critical mass and institutional theory perspectives, the results show that gender quotas on boards have a significant negative effect on waste generation. This negative effect increases in countries with binding quotas, suggesting that firms operating in countries with binding gender quotas capitalize on the potential for improved environmental outcomes. Further results show that the negative relationship between gender quotas and waste generation is more prevalent following the Paris Agreement on climate change and the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, in firms with corporate social responsibility (CSR) committees and in firms operating in manufacturing industries.},

abstract = {Accurate demand forecasting is critical for optimising resource allocation and operational efficiency in bike-sharing systems (BSS). However, this remains challenging owing to the complex nonlinear characteristics of large-scale data, irregular spatiotemporal patterns, and external environmental uncertainties. To address these issues, this study proposes a multidimensional spatiotemporal fusion framework that combines Domain-Adaptive Density Clustering (DADC) and an Attention Temporal Graph Convolutional Network (A3T-GCN). First, the DADC algorithm addresses data sparsity by adaptively clustering stations based on spatial density variations, thereby effectively capturing dynamic distribution patterns. Second, a weighted directed graph is constructed incorporating station utility and full-load-rate functions to eliminate low-performance nodes. A dynamic graph sequence model is then developed to characterise the temporal evolution of spatial dependencies and enhance peak-period responsiveness. The A3T-GCN architecture integrates station-specific attributes with environmental factors through attention mechanisms, enabling the focused analysis of critical demand influencers while processing multidimensional spatiotemporal dependencies. Experimental validation using Citi Bike datasets demonstrates superior performance over benchmark models, reducing prediction errors by 11.54% (15?min) and 12.33% (60?min) through improved short-term accuracy and long-term stability. The framework effectively addresses the uncertainty in demand forecasting, providing methodological support for sustainable BSS operations through enhanced spatiotemporal pattern recognition and environmental adaptability.},

This study investigates the influence of additive manufacturing conditions and machining strategies on the cutting forces and surface integrity of 3 TiNbZrMoTa-based HEAs manufactured under different volumetric energy densities. Five machining configurations were evaluated at different feedrates.

Cutting force measurements revealed a significant influence of both alloy grade and machining strategy. Under carbide cutting conditions, mean cutting forces increased from 28.8±1.2 N for VED550 to 57.3±1.4 N for VED350 and 61.1±2.7 N for VED88. Abrasive machining reduced machining loads up to 68% compared with cutting tools. Feedrate increased cutting forces but had little influence on surface roughness.

Cutting tool consistently produced the smoothest surfaces, with Ra/Sa values below 0.30 µm. The VED88 alloy machined with a cutting tool exhibited the best overall performance, achieving Ra = 0.118±0.018 µm, Rz = 0.765±0.144 µm, Sa = 0.143±0.010 µm, and Sz = 2.365±0.533 µm. One-way ANOVA demonstrated a highly significant effect of machining configuration on roughness parameters (p < 0.001), whereas ultrasonic assistance mainly improved process stability by reducing Sz variability from 7.31 to 2.45 µm. The results identify VED88 machined with a carbide cutting tool as the optimal compromise between machinability, surface integrity, and process repeatability for biomedical implant applications. These results provide guidance for the post processing of additive manufactured HEAs and support their integration into machined biomedical implant where surface integrity is critical for functional performance.},

abstract = {Technology diffusion and spillovers are key drivers of both innovation and economic growth. This paper examines the effects of obtaining initial intellectual property rights on international knowledge flows through new technological entrants, an important yet understudied function of the IP system. We propose a simple theoretical framework which examines exclusivity and proximity effects as countervailing forces acting on the broader diffusion of foreign-developed technology within a host country. Our study provides causal evidence that a foreign technological entrant's initial patent grant in the host country (the United States) increases the likelihood of international knowledge flows to local U.S. firms and other patenting entities (7.1 percentage points and 29.4 percent, respectively), demonstrating the importance of patent rights in facilitating international knowledge flows beyond the disclosure mechanism. These effects are at least partly driven by sustained presence, cross-country differences in search costs, and voluntary technology sales, but the evidence on inventor mobility is mixed. Overall, initial intellectual property rights appear to mitigate impediments to cross-border knowledge flows in this setting, and the benefits of doing so outweigh the frictions arising from the exclusionary nature of patents.},

This study aims to investigate whether and how corporate digitalization promotes multinational enterprises' (MNEs') outward foreign direct investment (OFDI), particularly in developing countries along the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). It further seeks to uncover the internal and external boundary conditions under which digitalization translates into greater international investment activity by integrating firm-level strategy and host-country digital environment into a unified analytical framework.

Design/methodology/approach



Grounded in the resource-based view (RBV), this study empirically examines the impact of corporate digitalization on OFDI. Using an unbalanced panel data set of 2,780 Chinese listed MNEs from 2013 to 2022, overseas subsidiaries serve as the unit of analysis. Firm-level digitalization is measured through objective digital input-output indicators using an entropy-weight method, while moderating variables include corporate digital strategic orientation and host-country digital infrastructure.

Findings



The corporate digitalization significantly promotes OFDI: more digitally advanced MNEs engage more actively in overseas investment. This positive relationship is strengthened when firms exhibit a stronger digital strategic orientation, indicating the critical role of strategy alignment. Moreover, higher levels of host-country digital infrastructure amplify the effect of firm digitalization on OFDI, especially in developing economies. These findings remain robust across alternative measures, subsamples and instrumental-variable estimations.

Originality/value



This study advances international business and digitalization research by integrating micro-level strategic orientation and macro-level digital infrastructure within the RBV to explain OFDI. It offers a dynamic interpretation of digital resources as sources of international competitive advantage providing actionable insights for managers and policymakers seeking to leverage digital transformation to foster sustainable OFDI.},

U.S. portfolios generally achieve higher returns with greater risk and lower environmental scores, while European portfolios offer stronger sustainability outcomes and lower volatility. The Balanced strategy proves to be a robust compromise among environmental scores, reduced risk, and moderate returns, offering a viable path for investors seeking alignment between financial and sustainability objectives.

Mechanism analysis shows that environmental innovation exploitation, innovation based on existing or historical patents, is more encouraged with higher CRP, while channelling analysis identifies transition risk, stemming from climate-induced supply chain disruptions, resource scarcity, and market volatility, as the central channel. Heterogeneity analysis reveals stronger effects in less competitive markets, manufacturing/heavy-polluting industries, non-state-owned enterprises (non-SOEs), and those characterized by stringent internal controls. A nonlinear inverted U-shaped relationship emerges: moderate CRP boosts innovation, while excessive risk perception hinders it. Nonetheless, the inflection point of this inverted U-shaped relationship lies within the sample range of CRP. This study contributes by distinguishing CRP from objective climate risk (CR) as a strategic cognitive antecedent, integrating macro boundary conditions (EPU) into a coherent theoretical framework, and highlighting innovation exploitation as a significant mechanism and transition risk as a critical channel, addressing gaps in prior literature on firm-level adaptive responses to climate change.},

The data used in this study were obtained from the Merit Principles Survey (MPS) 2021, and covariance structure analysis (CSA) was applied to examine the relationships between variables. Guided by social identity theory (SIT), the study tests hypotheses related to perceived disincentives that may inhibit employees from submitting formal complaints. A key contribution of this research lies in its integrated analysis of three critical deterrents?non-disclosure agreements, non-disclosure policies, and the perceived seriousness of threats?which have not previously been examined collectively in the context of complaint behavior. The results offer valuable insights for public sector administrators aiming to foster transparent and responsive organizational cultures.},

abstract = {This study explores how social sustainability is enabled and constrained within Circular Digitalized Supply Chains (CDSCs), mobilizing paradox theory as a theoretical lens. Through a qualitative analysis of interviews with 22 supply chain (SC), operations, logistics, and procurement managers, the research identifies key paradoxes that emerge when pursuing social goals alongside circular and digital transformations. The study finds that pursuing CDSCs' goals alongside social sustainability objectives creates paradoxical tensions, such as conflicts between efficiency and fair labor practices, data privacy concerns, and the potential for power concentration within digital platforms. These tensions highlight the complexities of balancing competing objectives within CDSC operations. Moreover, the different managerial perspectives, such as SC, operational, logistics, and procurement, may prioritize different aspects of sustainability, leading to potential tensions. These tensions were categorized into four paradoxes: the paradox of progress, the paradox of efficiency, the paradox of control, and the paradox of governance. To manage these paradoxes, the findings highlight the importance of dynamic management, stakeholder engagement, transparency, innovation, and continuous learning. This should also be supported by holistic integration, which involves a unified, comprehensive approach to managing paradoxes in CDSCs, transitioning from separate functional strategies to a cohesive solution. This study contributes to understanding the complexities of social sustainability in CDSCs. It offers insights for practitioners and policymakers seeking to promote more responsible and sustainable SC practices.},

In this research note, we first assess whether the USPTO achieved this objective using a difference-in-differences (DiD) research design on a sample of applications assigned to examiners between 2018 and 2021. The new routing system increased technical overlap between examiner work histories and newly assigned cases by 57 percent, indicating a substantial increase in examiner specialization across the agency. In addition, we show that automated routing ? largely unknown in the academic literature ? effectively eliminated quasi-random assignment of applications to examiners. Given the importance of quasi-random assignment for empirical research, we discuss our findings within this context and potential impact on future research.},

analyses this relationship from the perspective of customers. This study frames socio-cultural 

sensitivity as a contextual factor and examines customer perceptions of ESG performance and 

how customers pressure firms to adopt social value practices and circular economy practices. 

While examining these relationships, the study also evaluates the moderating impact of AI- 

driven innovation capability that has not been empirically examined in the prior literature. The 

study collected the data from 356 customers in Delhi-NCR using a random sampling technique. 

The proposed relationships were analysed using the structural equation modelling approach in 

SmartPLS. The results reveal the extent to which customers' perceptions of their pressures 

impact social value practices, circular economy practices and ESG performance for global value 

creation. The moderating role of AI-driven innovation capabilities was also investigated. The 

novelty of this study lies in evaluating customer perceptions instead of managerial perceptions. 

The study contributes to stakeholder and attribution theories and shows managers and 

practitioners how customers' perceptions of ESG influence their attitudes and behaviours 

towards the firm.},

One of the processes used is deposition of molten filaments using a material. In this study, Poly (ether ether ketone) was used as the base material for additive manufacturing via the fused deposition modeling (FFF) process. The main objective of this study was to investigate how variations in nozzle temperature, layer thickness, and printing speed influence mechanical properties and porosity, with a focus on the Z-direction, which is particularly prone to weak interlayer bonding. By systematically analyzing these effects, the study provides new insights into optimizing FDM process parameters to improve interlayer adhesion and the overall structural integrity of vertically printed components. In addition, we carried out characterization using and X-ray diffraction analyses dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Using Response Surface Methodology (RSM), optimal printing conditions were predicted as 405 °C nozzle temperature, 60 mm/s printing speed, and 0.1 mm layer thickness, yielding components with a Young's modulus of 3302 MPa, tensile strength of 72 MPa, strain at break of 3.25%, and a porosity rate of 4.70%, closely matching the experimental observations. These results may indicate that the optimized printing conditions predicted by RSM can reliably produce PEEK components with balanced mechanical performance and low porosity.},

Grounded in strategic fit theory, buyer-supplier resilience fit is conceptualized as a dyadic alignment mechanism whose performance value depends on commensurate resilience levels across interdependent partners. The hypotheses are tested using survey data collected from multiple senior managers across 160 buyer-supplier dyads. After calculating the resilience fit, the analysis applies data scaling and logarithmic transformations and uses seven machine-learning regression models to compare alternative specifications before estimating the final ordinary least squares model. The results show that buyer-supplier resilience fit is positively associated with buyer financial performance. The moderating effect of buyer relational capability on this relationship is negative and marginal, whereas that of buyer product complexity is not statistically significant. Our study extends prior research by examining resilience from both buyer and supplier perspectives and introducing the concept of buyer-supplier resilience fit.},

Addressing this challenge requires leadership approaches that actively promote environmental responsibility and strategic adaptation. Drawing on the natural resource-based view, this study investigates whether green inclusive leadership enhances environmental performance through the development of green absorptive capacity?both potential and realized?and the adoption of a proactive environmental strategy. A time-lagged survey was administered to 430 managerial employees working in manufacturing firms across Pakistan, and the data were analyzed through structural equation modeling. The results reveal that green inclusive leadership has a significant positive effect on both potential and realized green absorptive capacities. These capacities, in turn, mediate the relationship between green inclusive leadership and proactive environmental strategy, thereby improving environmental performance. Furthermore, government regulations positively moderate the relationship between environmental strategy and environmental performance, reinforcing the effectiveness of strategic environmental initiatives. By empirically examining the mechanisms linking leadership, organizational capabilities, strategy, and the regulatory context, this study advances research on environmental management in the manufacturing sector of a developing country and offers actionable insights to enhance firm-level environmental performance.},

Drawing on conservation of resources theory, the data from 304 CEOs was collected and analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results support the dual mediation pathway, with both cognitive load and social comparison orientation significantly transmitting the negative effects of crisis uncontrollability to mental well-being. Interestingly, we found that entrepreneurial grit positively moderates the relationship between crisis uncontrollability and cognitive load, which showed that determination may lead to greater psychological costs when directed toward uncontrollable challenges. These findings contribute to entrepreneurship research by (1) identifying specific cognitive and social mechanisms linking crises to well-being, (2) challenging assumptions about grit's universally protective role, and (3) integrating cognitive and social psychology perspectives into entrepreneurial stress models. Practical implications suggest the need for targeted interventions that help entrepreneurs manage cognitive load, engage in adaptive social comparisons, and apply grit more strategically during crises.},

The results indicate that diversity climate positively influences internationalization attitudes, with expatriate adjustment and cultural intelligence serving as sequential mediators. Additionally, risk propensity positively moderates the relationship between cultural intelligence and internationalization. Our findings contribute to the expatriate management literature by uncovering the psychological and organizational mechanisms linking workplace diversity to the development of a global mindset. Practical implications suggest that fostering inclusive environments and enhancing cultural learning can promote internationalization readiness, particularly for risk-inclined expatriates.},

Nonetheless, there is a notable absence of empirical knowledge on key antecedents of Gen Z's engagement in tourism-related buycotting. Grounded in political and ethical consumerism literature and guided by lifestyle politics theory, this study aims to illuminate the drivers underpinning buycott behaviour of Gen Z in a developing country context. The qualitative findings demonstrate that Gen Z' buycott behaviour has two categories of drivers: individual (fulfilment, constructing self-identity and frugality) and prosocial (altruism, trust and the pursuit of social justice). Exposure to social media information, peer persuasion and past experience are also key influencers in Gen Z' buycott participation. Overall, the research extends the understanding of tourist sustainable consumption in terms of generational behaviours, notably Gen Z's buycott behaviour. The study provides novel insights to a stream of the political consumerism literature, which is only at a nascent stage in tourism studies. While adding value theoretically, the study also provides useful managerial implications for businesses to stimulate tourists' political and ethical consumption.},

It was inferred by Hasimoto [Water waves, Kagaku, 40:401-408, 1970 (Japanese)] as a model of the gravity waves in a vastly long channel over a flat bottom in a long wave with surface tension. In 2008, Iguchi [Bull. Inst. Math. Acad. Sin. (N.S.), 2:179-220, 2008] gave a mathematically rigorous justification of this modeling and demonstrated that the solution of the Kawahara equation approximates the full Euler problem of cappilary-gravity waves and he considered the situation where the bottom is not flat and its fluctuation is small and determined coupled Kawahara type equations whose solutions approximate the Euler problem. In this paper, we derived the Kawahara-type equation over an uneven bottom that generalizes the Kawahara equation in the previously mentioned work by Iguchi and we prove its consistency with the Euler system. After that, we propose a regularized-approximate version up to the good order (i.e. order of derivation of the Kawahara equation) and then we prove its unconditional well-posedness. Finally, we perform a numerical simulation on the Kawahara equation and its approximation equation and we verify numerically the coherence of the order of approximation.},

Two underlying mechanisms appear to explain this effect. First, environmental research plays a cognitive role by facilitating the diffusion of scientific knowledge that is essential for environmental innovation. Second, scientific output exerts a normative institutional influence, guiding organizational behavior toward greater sustainability. We further show that these dynamics are strengthened by the moderating effects of freedom of expression and the presence of environmental NGOs.},

We find a positive association between public attention to gender equality and returns on U.S. gender-diversity stock indices. We attribute this result to an increasing investor preferences for owning stocks of companies that promote gender diversity in the workplace during periods of high public attention to gender equality.
