This research developed an assessment tool for enhancing the healing environment in healthcare buildings, especially interior finishing materials, based on sustainability standards, i.e., Leadership Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards WELL building standards. The purpose of this is to help decision-makers, designers, client committees identify compatible materials’ specifications w...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are important intermediates to soot formation in combustion. A reliable database of their thermochemistry is required for the development chemical kinetic models describing gas-phase chemistry hydrocarbon fuels. In this study, temperature-dependent thermodynamic properties consistently determined using high-accuracy quantum calculations an extensive set P...

Widespread adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) and expansion of patient registries present opportunities to improve patient care and population health and advance translational research. However, optimal integration of patient registries with EHR functions and aggregation of regional registries to support national or global analyses will require the use of standards. Currently, there a...

This paper proposes a framework for assessing credits trading mechanisms for corporate social responsibility (CSR). The motivation to structure this framework derives from contemporary market-based mechanisms of emissions trading (or carbon/credits/offsets) and renewable energy credits (RECs). However, the framework proposed herein moves beyond existing forms of credits trading mechanisms that ...
