Porous carbons produced using poplar sawdust are promising CO2 adsorbent applied under ambient conditions due to the low-cost preparation approach. CO2 uptake capability of the porous carbons produced from poplar sawdust can be effectively enhanced via doping an approximate amount of microalgae....

The desirable CO2 adsorption capacity and mechanical property are both important for the large-scale industrial applications of K2CO3-based CO2 adsorbents. In this work, graphite-casted, Al2O3 -supported, K2CO3-based pellets were prepared for CO2 adsorption. The prepared K2CO3-based pellets...

This research makes strides toward reconciling mixed findings in the value–behavior relation by positing that values are abstract representations of ideal end states that are more likely to influence behavior when individuals think abstractly (vs. concretely) and focus on high- (vs. low-)...

This research considers how common perceptions of liberals' generosity can be harnessed for increasing donations. Given conservatives' greater tendency to conform to group norms than liberals, we theorize that conformity tendencies can increase donations by conservatives when accountable to a...

Global brands are faced with the challenge of conveying concepts that not only are consistent across borders but also resonate with consumers of different cultures. Building on prior research indicating that abstract brand concepts induce more favorable consumer responses than functional...

Although the idea of brand concepts has been around for a while, very little research addresses how brand concepts may influence consumer responses to corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. Four studies reveal that communicating the CSR actions of a luxury brand concept causes a...
