The Effect of Vacuum Annealing of Magnetite and Zero-Valent Iron Nanoparticles on the Removal of Aqueous Uranium by R. A. Crane, T. B. Scott

“…XPS analysis of reacted nanoparticulate solids confirmed the partial chemical reduction of UVI to UIV in both nano-Fe0 water treatment systems, but with a greater amount of UIV detected on the vacuum annealed particles. Results suggest that vacuum annealing can enhance the aqueous reactivity of nano-Fe0 and, for waters of complex chemistry, can improve the longevity of aqueous U removal.…”

IT GOVERNANCE IN THE BANKING SECTOR: EVIDENCE FROM ITALY, GERMANY, FRANCE AND SPAIN by Ida Claudia Panetta, Sabrina Leo, Fabrizio Santoboni, Gianfranco Vento

“…Recurring to IT governance transparency, as a key mechanism of corporate governance, we: i) elaborate an original IT governance framework; ii) perform a content analysis on banks public disclosure and a selected number of supervisors’ official documents (2008-2015) to build up IT governance indices; iii) run a multidimensional analysis to detect causal relationships between variables. Our analysis indicates that differences in the level of IT governance disclosure are bank specific and not related to country’s institutional settings; we also observed an increasing consistent attention  of both supervisors and banks to IT issues starting from 2013. …”
