Flexible work promises control over where and when work is performed, yet organisations still need credible performance evidence at a distance. Drawing on 30 interviews with women lawyers in UK‐based international firms, we examine how billable hours mediate these demands. Records of bi...

Drawing on an international sample of 20,576 observations between 2002 and 2021, we find that greater female employment is positively associated with a higher salary gap, implying that firms employing more women are more prone to a higher salary gap. However, a greater proportion&#...

Environmental considerations shape corporate strategy, risk management, and firm valuation. Yet, empirical evidence on the links between environmental performance, environmental disclosures and corporate financial performance is mixed and often omits risk implications. We develop a holistic framework to ex...

The P300 speller is a brain−computer interface (BCI) system that enables character selection using event-related potentials (ERPs). However, the inherent imbalance between target and non-target stimuli biases deep learning models. Reducing non-target samples to mitigate this issue risks underutilizing ...

Remote sensing object counting remains challenging for lightweight models due to large scale variation, dense object distribution, and complex background interference. Existing lightweight counting methods usually rely on static multi-scale fusion, which limits adaptive receptive-field selection under heterogen...

This article presents a low-profile dual-polarized phased array antenna featuring an improved feed structure and a multiresonant wide-angle impedance matching (WAIM) layer for satellite-assisted Internet-of-Things (SATA-IoT) vehicular communications across the L-, S-, C-, and X-bands. First, an improved fe...

An ultrawideband magnetoelectric (ME) dipole antenna with stable gain is proposed for sub-6G Internet of Things (IoT) communication systems. While several structures can effectively achieve a wide impedance bandwidth, a critical limitation is that an excessively wide beamwidth often results in&#x...

A quadrature-spoof surface plasmon polariton (SSPP) unit cell (QS-UC) is proposed and theoretically characterized for circularly polarized (CP) wave generation. The proposed QS-UC is composed of a fishbone SSPP waveguide (FSW) and a spine quadrature mode converter (SQMC), which converts the ...

This paper presents a new set of linear polarization to circular polarization (LP-CP) unit cells (UCs) for broadband reflective polarization conversion, and the application in designing broadband CP reflectarray (RA). The LP-CP UCs are composed of different combinations of rectangular loops ...
