Building on longitudinal data from 73 Chinese manufacturing firms during 2009–2012, we assess whether and how firms gain higher efficiency in achieving their sustainability goals by adopting management practice standards (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and/or OHSAS 18001). We propose four pathways for firms to gain sustainability efficiency in their certification journey: participation, qualitative integ...

Results are presented from analyses of jet data produced in pp collisions at √ s = 630 and 1800 GeV collected with the DØ detector during the 1994–95 Fermilab Tevatron Collider run. We discuss details of detector calibration, and jet selection criteria in measurements of various jet production cross sections at √ s = 630 and 1800 GeV. The inclusive jet cross sections, the dijet mass spectrum, t...

She discusses the economic, social, and political factors which shaped the system of poor law, and, in opposition to received opinion, she demonstrates that in spite of a theoretically centralized administration of the Poor Law of 1834, in practice areas like Norfolk retained considerable autonomy.
