Greater political pressure to improve corporate environmental performance and mitigate climate change impact leads firms operate under greater risk uncertainty, affecting productivity firm value. Using a panel of 3255 US from 2002 2020, this research tests the effectiveness two environment-specific (EPR) mitigation approaches: lobbying green innovation. The results suggest that while both appro...

The physical and chemical nature of several defects involved in metal–oxide–silicon (MOS) device instabilities have become fairly well understood through studies involving electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Recent EPR studies suggest that some of these defects play important roles in the negative bias temperature instability (NBTI). This paper reviews recent NBTI EPR studies as well as earl...

The polarity of protein surfaces is one of the factors driving protein-protein interactions. High-field, spin-label EPR at 95 GHz, i.e., 10 times higher than conventional EPR, is an upcoming technique to determine polarity parameters of the inside of proteins. Here we show that by 275 GHz EPR even the small polarity differences of sites at the protein surface can be discriminated. To do so, fou...

There are many aspects of obtaining good EPR data, for which there is need for a standard, or calibrant, to aid in determining uncertainty and reproducibility of the results. There should be a calibrant/standard for almost every variable known to affect the EPR signal, whether CW (linear or nonlinear) or time-domain. In the past, EPR standards have primarily focused on three issues: g-value, sp...

It has been known for a long time that the melanin pigments present in normal skin, hair, and most of malignant melanomas can be detected by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometry. In this study, we used EPR imaging as a tool to map the concentration of melanin inside ex vivo human pigmented and nonpigmented melanomas and correlated this cartography with anatomopathology. We obtaine...

We present the tool qbf2epr which translates quantified Boolean formulas (QBF) to formulas in effectively propositional logic (EPR). The decision problem of QBF is the prototypical problem for PSPACE, whereas EPR is NEXPTIME-complete. Thus QBF is embedded in a formalism, which is potentially more succinct. The motivation for this work is twofold. On the one hand, our tool generates challenging ...

The establishment of an efficient reverse supply chain is important, especially in the electronics industry, considering the environmental and resource pressures worldwide. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), an important environmental policy approach, has been adopted extensively in various countries, and the effectiveness of its implementation has been proven through practical application...
