Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFirms and their Responsibility towards NatureJerome Ballet, Damien BazinCorporate social responsibility is increasingly discussed in economics and management studies today. Corporate leaders often make use of this concept, which finds its origins in philosophy, to analyse the normative behaviour of their companies. But what exactly is corporate responsibility? Is it a mere concept currently in vogue, or is it a new structural approach which could indeed take responsibility … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,155 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructural Colour from Optical Phenomena Caused by Interference with a Thin or Multilayer Film, Photonic Nanocrystals, Light Scattering and Diffraction Grating EffectRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio ApicellaThe paper presents the Ion Plating Plasma Assisted technology that is applied in the area of surface functionalization with the purpose of preserving the structural colour and relics. The interferometric structural colours applied on titanium surfaces were used and tested together with nano-transparent and at the same time achromatic films on the very old ceramic artifact. In order to test … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 13 Aug 2020 · 6,511 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSystematic Evaluation of Image-Based NPR Applied to VideoAlberto F.F. de Barros, Jose E.R. de Queiroz, Herman M. GomesIn this article, it was studied the effect of state-of-the-art approaches for Non-Photorealistic Rendering (NPR), originally developed for static images, when applied to videos. Six criteria were objectively evaluated (using a 5-point Likert scales): Simplicity, content preservation, resemblance to the original content, sharpness, temporal coherence and subjective satisfaction. Sixty participants and a dataset of 30 videos of different genres were … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 29 Apr 2020 · 7,280 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmune Metabolism in Functional Aspects of the BrainElisa Gonzalez Cuevas, Nitya G. ChakrabortyThe brain interacts with the immune system in a highly regulated and restricted manner. Immune signals initiate pro- and anti-inflammatory activity in most body tissues in response to disease states and injury. An accumulation of inflammatory insults can disrupt immune metabolic homeostasis and give rise to pathology in sensitive areas. Here, we provide an overview of interactions between immune metabolism … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 18 Dec 2019 · 7,222 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfrared Thermography for the Characterization of Painted Vaults of Historic Masonry BuildingsClaudia Casapulla, Alessandra Maione, Luca Umberto ArgientoThe infrared thermography is a type of non-destructive investigation which can find interesting application in acquiring information about the structural features of ancient masonry buildings. In this case, in fact, the needs of preservation of the historical values have to be compound with the needs of achieving a proper level of knowledge of the parameters influencing the structural behaviour in … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 20 Feb 2018 · 7,870 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractFreeze Drying of Grape Raw Materials in Red WinemakingGennadiy Vyacheslavovich Semenov, Gennadiy Ivanovich Kasyanov, Ivan Ivanovich Petkov, Irina Stanislavovna KrasnovaThe aim of this research was the development of technology, which is based on the winemaking from freeze dried grape raw materials. Results of research on the drying of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were shown. The regimes of preparation of grape raw materials and its subsequent freeze-drying are offered, providing the possibility of successful use in the dried state in the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 3 Aug 2017 · 7,414 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElectron DimensionsRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Shuhui Li et al.In this study, the theoretical principles necessary to determine the exact magnitude of a moving electron, depending on the speed of movement, will be exposed. The equations are specifically discussed to determine the radius R of the moving electron, which refers to the electron movement velocity v and the resting mass m0. The mechanical moment of inertia of a sphere … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 5 Jun 2017 · 7,582 accessesView PDFCite
