Financial reporting challenges of small- and medium-capitalisation JSE-listed companies by Leigh Brookes, Kayleigh Burnham, Wayne van Zijl, Warren Maroun

“…Design/methodology/approach: Fourteen interviews with auditors, academics, preparers and regulators were conducted and analysed using open, axial and selective coding. Findings/results: Findings reveal that resource constraints, a lower ability to attract and retain talented staff, less interest from auditors and a perception that small- and mid-cap entities’ financial statements are irrelevant, lead to tick-box attitudes towards financial statement preparation. …”

Experimental and Numerical Study of Film Boiling Around a Small Nickel Sphere by Charles Brissot, Léa Cailly-Brandstäter, Romain Castellani, Elie Hachem, Rudy Valette

“…While presenting a challenge due to the contrast in densities and viscosities between phases, the importance of the small circulations along them, which improve the heat removal in the liquid phase, was highlighted; we also assessed the suitability of the model and the numerical code for the simulation of such quenching cases when subcooling in the vicinity of a saturation temperature.…”

Characteristic of the power decay length of small ELMs measured by infrared camera on EAST by G.T. Chen, Q.Q. Yang, J.H. Yang, X. Lin, H. Yang, Z.D. Yang, R.R. Liang, T.H. Wang, B.H. Zhang, L. Wang, Y.W. Sun, G.S. Xu, F.C. Zhong

“…This study represents the first utilization of a high-resolution infrared camera system on the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak to investigate the heat flux characteristics of small ELMs. Both typical discharge results and statistical analyses indicate that the power decay length ( ${\lambda _q}$ ) of small ELMs is broader than that of inter-large ELMs but narrower than that of intra-large ELMs, consistent with previous simulations using the BOUT++ code. …”
