Enhancement of CO2 uptake and selectivity in a metal-organic framework by incorporation of thiophene functionality (2018)
Journal Article

The complex [Zn2(tdc)2dabco] (H2tdc = thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid; dabco = 1,4-diazabicyclooctane) shows a remarkable increase in CO2 uptake and CO2/N2 selectivity compared to the non-thiophene analogue [Zn2(bdc)2dabco] (H2bdc = benzene-1,4-dica...

Disappointment aversion and social comparisons in a real-effort competition (2017)
Journal Article

We present an experiment to investigate the source of disappointment aversion in a sequential real-effort competition. Specifically, we study the contribution of social comparison effects to the disappointment aversion previously identified in a two-...

Purchasing and supply management: from efficiency to effectiveness in an integrated supply chain (2017)
Journal Article

Team incentives and leadership (2017)
Journal Article

We study, experimentally, how two alternative incentive mechanisms affect team performance and how a team chooses between alternative mechanisms. We study a group incentive mechanism (team output is shared equally among team members) and a hierarchic... Read More about Team incentives and leadership.

Antecedents of green supplier championing and greenwashing: An empirical study on leadership and ethical incentives (2017)
Journal Article

Buying firms are increasingly confronted with compliance scandals in their upstream supply chain, for which they are held accountable by their stakeholders. Purely symbolic practices, typically referred to as greenwashing, as well as substantive prac...

Extending the supply chain visibility boundary: utilizing stakeholders for identifying supply chain sustainability risks (2017)
Journal Article

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate how buying firms facing low supply chain visibility can utilize their stakeholder network to identify salient supply chain sustainability risks (SCSR). Design/methodology/approach – The study empl... Read More about Extending the supply chain visibility boundary: utilizing stakeholders for identifying supply chain sustainability risks.

A comparison between London and Baghdad surface urban heat islands and possible engineering mitigation solutions (2016)
Journal Article

This study adopts remote sensing techniques to compare the Surface urban Heat Island (SUHI) in Bagh-dad and London as they represent different climatic conditions, natural environments and levels of urbandevelopment. It tests the reported correlation... Read More about A comparison between London and Baghdad surface urban heat islands and possible engineering mitigation solutions.

Computational evaluation of the impact of incorporated nitrogen and oxygen heteroatoms on the affinity of polyaromatic ligands for carbon dioxide and methane in metal–organic frameworks (2016)
Journal Article

Density functional theory is employed to explore the binding of carbon dioxide and methane in a series of isoreticular metal–organic frameworks, with particular emphasis on understanding the impact of directly incorporated nitrogen and oxygen heteroa... Read More about Computational evaluation of the impact of incorporated nitrogen and oxygen heteroatoms on the affinity of polyaromatic ligands for carbon dioxide and methane in metal–organic frameworks.

Modelling the spatiotemporal change of canopy urban heat islands (2016)
Journal Article

This study models the spatiotemporal change of Birmingham’s urban heat island (UHI) using air temperature measurements made during the HiTemp project to study the atmospheric conditions over the city [1]. The study identifies the causative factors an... Read More about Modelling the spatiotemporal change of canopy urban heat islands.

Non-interpenetrated metal-organic frameworks based on copper(II) paddlewheel and oligoparaxylene-isophthalate linkers: synthesis, structure and gas adsorption (2016)
Journal Article

Two metal–organic framework materials, MFM-130 and MFM-131 (MFM = Manchester Framework Material), have been synthesized using two oligoparaxylene (OPX) tetracarboxylate linkers containing four and five aromatic rings, respectively. Both fof-type non-... Read More about Non-interpenetrated metal-organic frameworks based on copper(II) paddlewheel and oligoparaxylene-isophthalate linkers: synthesis, structure and gas adsorption.

How do risk attitudes affect measured confidence? (2016)
Journal Article

We examine the relationship between confidence in own absolute performance and risk attitudes using two confidence elicitation procedures: self-reported (non-incentivised) confidence and an incentivised procedure that elicits the certainty equivalent...

Understanding the electromagnetic interaction of metal organic framework reactants in aqueous solution at microwave frequencies (2016)
Journal Article

Preparation of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) via microwave heating is becoming increasingly popular due to reduced reaction times and enhanced control of MOF particle size. However, there is little understanding about the detailed interaction of th...

Physical model tests and numerical simulation for assessing the stability of brick-lined tunnels (2016)
Journal Article

Nowadays, numerical modelling is increasingly used to assess the stability of tunnels and underground caverns. However, an analysis of the mechanical behaviour of existing brick-lined tunnels remains challenging due to the complex material component...

Standardization efforts: the relationship between knowledge dimensions, search processes and innovation outcomes (2015)
Journal Article

We explore how a standardization effort (i.e., when a firm pursues standards to further innovation) involves different search processes for knowledge and innovation outcomes. Using an inductive case study of Vanke, a leading Chinese property develope...

Strategic and natural risk in entrepreneurship: an experimental study (2015)
Journal Article

We report on the results of experiments where participants choose between entrepreneurship and an outside option. Entrepreneurs enter a market and then make investment decisions to capture value. Payoffs depend on both strategic risk (i.e. the invest... Read More about Strategic and natural risk in entrepreneurship: an experimental study.

Conflict minerals and supply chain due diligence: an exploratory study of multi-tier supply chains (2015)
Journal Article

Conflict minerals are those, whose... Read More about Conflict minerals and supply chain due diligence: an exploratory study of multi-tier supply chains.

Combining ‘‘real effort’’ with induced effort costs: the ball-catching task (2015)
Journal Article

We introduce the “ball-catching task”, a novel computerized task, which combines a tangible action (“catching balls”) with induced material cost of effort.
