Summary: The steel industry, crucial to emerging economies, faces challenges due to its high energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This study proposes two Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) processes for improving the industry's footprint without compromising its viability. The first process involves capturing CO2-SO2 and converting it into methane, with additional benefits demonstrated through enhanced adsorbent capacity and lifetime. These findings indicate that implementing the improved CCU system in stainless steel plants can reduce CO2 emissions without affecting profitability.

Summary: A review of literature and deployed practices concerning blockchain technology in Humanitarian Operations Management (HOM) found that most articles discuss the potential benefits of blockchain in HOM and the enablers and barriers to its adoption. However, limited empirical evidence exists to prove blockchain's capabilities in HOM as the majority of the work has not yet been tested in the field. Despite a few pilot programs, more research is needed to explore the practical applications and scientific advancements of blockchain technology in HOM.

Summary: The study found that the core company should not establish its own origin channel when selling high-cost products or when the marginal cost of blockchain implementation is sufficiently large. Additionally, when the core company builds its own origin channel, the manufacturer should decrease the wholesale price, but the core company should increase the retail price under certain conditions. Moreover, in the financing channel, the service rate and interest rate remain unchanged.

Summary: This study focuses on the communication selection problem of autonomous sensors connected through the Internet of things, highlighting the role of environment state in mediating sensor quality and familiarity. When sensor qualities are public, sensors eventually settle on a constant target set, but this choice is influenced by past states. When sensor qualities are private, sensors may not settle on a constant target set.

Summary: Dual sourcing and contingent sourcing are important risk mitigation strategies for managing supply chain risks, particularly transportation-related losses of inbound orders. Shipment information, obtained through in-transit inspection points or monitoring technologies, enables contingent sourcing as a means of managing transportation risk. This study examines the impact of contingent sourcing and shipment information in a setting where a buyer can source from two competing suppliers.
