Understanding environmental performance variation in manufacturing companies
(EmeraldInternational Journal of Productivity and Performance Management, 2013)
Sustainability is an area of increasing interest for industry and its stakeholders, and some companies now aspire to address sustainability issues (e.g. carbon emissions) at strategic and operational levels. As companies ...
Water, salt water and alkaline solution uptake in epoxy thin films
(WileyJournal of Applied Polymer Science, 2013-05-10)
As a means of characterizing the diffusion parameters of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites within a relatively short time frame, the potential use of short term tests on epoxy films to predict the long-term behavior ...
Essays on electricity market reforms: a cross-country applied approach
(University of CambridgeJudge Business School, 2013-06-11)
In the last two decades, more than half of the countries in the world have introduced a reform process in their power industries and billions of dollars have been spent on liberalizing electricity markets around the world. ...
Analysis of amorphous indium-gallium-zinc-oxide thin-film transistor contact metal
(AIP Publishing LLCApplied Physics Letters, 2013-04-15)
It is widely reported that threshold voltage and on-state current of amorphous indiumgallium-
zinc-oxide bottom-gate thin-film transistors is strongly influenced by the choice of
source/drain contact metal. Electrical ...
