Enhanced energy storage performance of Y2O3-MoS2 nanocomposites based aqueous psuedocapacitor

Development of high-performance electrode materials with enhanced charge transport and electrochemical stability is crucial for the next-generation energy storage devices. In this work, we synthesized Y 2 O 3 -MoS 2 nanocomposites with varying Y 2 O 3 content to investigate the i...

Propagation of Immigration Shocks through Firm-to-Firm Trade Networks,

Abstract This paper investigates the extent to which an immigration shock to a region propagates through supply chains. Using the unexpected arrival of Syrian refugees, who are densely concentrated in border regions of Turkey, we estimate how firms across the country are affected...

Joint XMM-Newton and NuSTAR Observations of Type I X-ray Bursts from the Dipping Low-Mass X-ray Binary 4U 1323–62

Abstract In this study, we report partly simultaneous XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observations of the bursting, dipping low mass X-ray binary, 4U 1323–62 obtained in 2024. 4U 1323–62 is one of the well-known persistent bursters, with bursts occurring roughly every three hours. It is al...

Resolving the Performance Feedback Puzzle: CEO Psychopathy, Heterogeneous Emotional Responses to Aspiration Gaps, and Risk-Taking

Theoretical perspectives provide conflicting predictions regarding how firms adjust risk-taking in response to performance–aspiration gaps. The behavioral theory of the firm attributes increased risk-taking to problemistic search under negative gaps, whereas threat–rigidity theor...

Does Workforce Gender Diversity Influence Banks’ High-Level Decisions? Evidence on Credit Growth and Risk-Taking

We investigate the impact of workforce gender diversity on the relationship between women’s representation in the board of directors and other decision-making bodies, and bank performance in credit growth. Using panel data on Turkish banks from 2006-2020, we find that while femal...

Structure−Adhesion Relationship in Citric Acid-Crosslinked Cellulose Based Adhesives

Abstract Understanding how molecular architecture and rheological properties govern crosslinking behavior of cellulose derivatives is essential for designing high-performance biobased adhesive systems. This study investigates citric acid (CA)-mediated crosslinking in carboxymethy...
