Abstract: There is extensive literature on top managers committing wrongdoing, but few studies examine white-collar wrongdoing. Drawing on the experiences of a professional service firm, we examine why and how engineering consultants ...
Competitiveness of Small-Medium, New Generation Reactors: A Comparative Study on Decommissioning
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Small-medium reactors (SMRs) are going to be important players in the worldwide nuclear renaissance. The economy of scale plays against the development of this kind of reactors, even if sometimes ...
Modular Circular Economy in Energy Infrastructure Projects: Enabling Factors and Barriers
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: There is a growing body of literature surrounding circular economy (CE) and energy infrastructure projects. Most of this literature focuses on CE initiatives related to material recovering and recycling. The body of knowledge ...
Turning a Blind Eye: Ignoring Modern Slavery in the Race to Construction Project Completion
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Modern slavery is an illegal and unethical phenomenon affecting more than 40 million victims worldwide, with many of them employed in construction. This article aims to investigate why modern slavery continues to exist on ...
The Mesoscale and Microscale Structure and Organization of Clouds and Precipitation in Midlatitude Cyclones. XIII: Structure of a Warm Front
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mesoscale measurement from radars, aircraft and rawinsondes, and synoptic and satellite data are used to provide a detailed description of a warm front as it approached the Washington Coast. In many respects, the warm front ...
Statistical Properties of Rain Cells in the Padana Valley
