Green dynamic capabilities, climate change management, and business performance: evidence from metal-mechanical industries in Southern Brazil

This study examines how green dynamic capabilities, understood as a firm's capacity to sense environmental change and to integrate and reconfigure resources in response to it, influence climate change management and business performance in metalworking industries. A survey of top...

Improved Crystallization-Front Dynamics Reduce Buried-Interface Defects in Perovskite Solar Cells

Abstract Inverted perovskite solar cells have achieved substantial efficiency gains owing to advances in surface passivation; as a result, progress is now limited by buried defects at the perovskite/hole transport layer (HTL) interface. During top-down perovskite crystallization,...

Metformin Spacer Conformation Is a Structure-Directing Element in a 2D Perovskite with Strong X-ray Response

Abstract Direct X-ray detection in two-dimensional (2D) hybrid metal-halide perovskites is dictated by the interplay between organic spacer chemistry, crystal structure, and charge transport. Among these materials, the metformin (MF2+)-based perovskite MFPbI4 has recently emerged...

The animation of the opposite of finite sets

We give a direct proof of the fact that the animation of the category Finop is a 1-category. This article is part of the theme issue 'Derived Lie algebras in geometry and topology'.

Assessing and EnhancingBase Bath Safety Culture ThroughStudent-Led Initiatives in an Academic Research Environment

Abstract Base baths, which typically employ strong bases dissolved in alcohols, are frequently used to clean laboratory glassware but present significant fire, chemical, and handling hazards when improperly prepared or maintained. This work evaluates prior awareness, documentatio...
