Abstract:
... There has been growing interest in the Foster+Freeman RECOVER® Latent Fingerprint Technology system to develop fingermarks from fired ammunition. Over a six-month period, 1540 fingermarks were deposited on brass.223 ammunition, the majority of which were then fired after different time intervals. Samples were subjected to a cleaning protocol and/or processed with disulfur dinitride, cyanoacrylate/ ...

Abstract:
... The chemical industry is a fundamental component of how countries function and, as such, can be both an enabler and inhibitor of sustainability. Given its importance, it is unsurprising that the sector has received increasing attention in the extant literature base in recent times, although less consideration has been given to the importance of safety in sustainable production and how this may cha ...

Abstract:
... The environmental externalities of industrial agglomeration have generated intense debate, yet few studies have considered their effects and inner influence mechanism based on varied agglomeration types. This study distinguished between industrial density and proximity (spatially) and industrial specialization and diversity, as well as related variety and unrelated variety (organizationally). Usin ...

Abstract:
... The relationship between social norms and pro-environmental consumer behavior is well established, but what moderates this norm-sustainability relationship is much less clear. Previous studies reported inconclusive results regarding the effects of culture. This paper aims to shed light on the reported discrepancies by conducting an in-depth investigation on the effect of two central cultural dimen ...

Abstract:
... In this study, we propose a novel quantile frequency connectedness approach that enables the investigation of propagation mechanisms by virtue of quantile and frequency. This approach allows for the analysis of connectedness measures considering either different frequencies for a given quantile or different quantiles for a given frequency. We investigate dynamic integration and return transmission ...

Abstract:
... Despite the increasing academic interest in Industry 4.0, only a minority of studies has examined the antecedents and outcomes of sustainability-oriented Industry 4.0 initiatives. In this paper, the authors investigate how sustainability drivers might be taken into account in Industry 4.0 technologies' implementation. Industry 4.0 sustainability drivers and externalities are identified based on a ...

Abstract:
... The Clean-In-Place (CIP) operation use a pump to move a cleaning solution or water over the surfaces of pipelines or alternative food-contact surfaces. In order to improve the overall efficiency of CIP operations, the reuse of cleaning solutions could reduce the demand for water and for cleaning agents. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of cleaning agent reuse on effecti ...

Abstract:
... Evidence suggests that the level of waste recycling largely depends on the effectiveness of waste recycling policy (WRP). As such, this study examined a rarely discussed, but significant perspective for promoting waste recycling, that is, the effects of residents' perceived policy effectiveness (PPE) on the effectiveness of WRP. In a quasi-experiment, residents living in Kunming central urban area ...

Abstract:
... Sustainability stock indices play an important role in guiding socially responsible funds to their constituents. Thus, to find out whether the term sustainability is more than just a label, we analyze the inclusion and exclusion criteria applied by sustainability indices, and we compare them with those applied by conventional indices. We analyze the level of sustainability and size of the companie ...

... The main goal of this study was to determine the effects of the entrainment ratio (ER) and condensing temperature (CT) on the performance of a dual evaporator ejector system (DEES) operating on environmentally friendly, low-GWP (Global Warming Potential) refrigerants of R1234ze(E), ND, R515a, R456a, and R516a as a replacement for R134a. The effects of various CTs and ERs on the DEES system perform ...

Abstract:
... Altruistic preference (AP) and government subsidies are both crucial for manufacturing-recycling systems to stimulate eco-design and recycling. This paper discusses the impacts of AP and two government subsidies (an eco-design subsidy and a recycling subsidy) on a manufacturing-recycling system with eco-design, and explores rational AP coefficient and subsidy strategies from the perspective of the ...

Abstract:
... Sustainable consumption and green marketing are receiving considerable attention. Nevertheless, the focus of past studies has always been on customer participation, with less attention given to how to satisfy those customers. Also, the focus has been on participants in green programs and not those who choose not to participate. The use of incentives to encourage voluntary green program participati ...

Abstract:
... Production processes are not defect-free in reality, and such imperfect processes generate external failure costs. In this paper, we study a two-stage supply chain under a manufacturer-led Stackelberg setting, a supplier-led Stackelberg setting, and a centralized setting. A risk-averse supplier shares external failure costs with a risk-averse manufacturer, who will be encouraged to conduct quality ...

Abstract:
... Field investigations can be used to accurately monitor contaminated sites; however, their high cost makes it impossible to realise real-time monitoring over a large area (e.g. on a national scale). Although the use of social media enables the large-scale, real-time, and low-cost monitoring of contaminated sites, its effectiveness is flawed. In this study, we propose a novel framework by integratin ...

To better analyze the operating stability of hydropower generating systems (HGSs), a novel frequency-domain method (global matrix method) is proposed in this paper. First, the principle of the new method and the mathematical models of each comm ...

In this study, a novel model based on the loss of effective filtration area was established to predict the variation of the transmembrane pressure (TMP) at the constant flux mode. The coefficient of available membrane filtration area (ω) was adopted to describe the inflection point varying fro ...
