Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to identify European positioning on the use of remote customer onboarding solutions in combating financial crime.
Design/methodology/approach
This study is a desktop research that examines European Banking Authority (EBA) policy statements relating to the use of innovative solutions in combating financial crime.
Findings
Technological advancements in biometric data and software tools provide a unique opportunity to address potential paper customer onboarding process deficiencies. Electronic remote customer onboarding solutions equip credit, financial institutions and investment firms with an alternative FTE cost-saving solution, in their pursuit of revenue generation. Whilst the EBA and Financial Action Task Force have provided approval for the utilisation of innovative solutions and AML technologies in combatting financial crime. Hesitancy remains on the ability of credit and financial institutions to use technological solutions as a “magic solution” in preventing the materialisation of money laundering/terrorist financing related risks. Analysis of policy suggests a gravitation towards the increased use of the aforementioned technologies in the interim.
Originality/value
Capitalisation of European banking authority.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to produce families of exact soliton solutions (2+1)-dimensional Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation, that describes shallow water waves, using an ansätze approach.
Design/methodology/approach
This article aims to introduce a recently developed ansätze for creating soliton and travelling wave solutions to nonlinear nonintegrable partial differential equations, especially those with physical significance.
Findings
A recently developed ansätze solution was used to successfully construct soliton solutions to the (2 + 1)-dimensional KdV equation. This straightforward method is an alternative to the Painleve test analysis, yielding similar results. The strategy demonstrated the existence of a single soliton solution, also known as a localized wave or bright soliton, as well as singular solutions or kink solitons.
Originality/value
The ansätze solution used to construct soliton solutions to the (2 + 1)-dimensional KdV equation is novel. New soliton solutions were also obtained.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate a variety of Painlevé integrable equations derived from a Hamiltonian equation.
Design/methodology/approach
The newly developed Painlevé integrable equations have been handled by using Hirota’s direct method. The authors obtain multiple soliton solutions and other kinds of solutions for these six models.
Findings
The developed Hamiltonian models exhibit complete integrability in analogy with the original equation.
Research limitations/implications
The present study is to address these two main motivations: the study of the integrability features and solitons and other useful solutions for the developed equations.
Practical implications
The work introduces six Painlevé-integrable equations developed from a Hamiltonian model.
Social implications
The work presents useful algorithms for constructing new integrable equations and for handling these equations.
Originality/value
The paper presents an original work with newly developed integrable equations and shows useful findings.

Abstract
Reports findings from a major study done by a Boston consulting firm showing four solution‐based market segments in high‐tech industries. They are the specialized solution, the customized solution, the value solution, and the packaged solution. One segment is the be‐first “contrarian” buyer. One segment responds to aggressive selling while another reacts to market pull. And the fourth segment is retail‐oriented. This article may be useful to both buyers and sellers of technology in emerging, unsaturated markets.

Abstract
Presents findings from a study of the effects of treating unbleached bagasse paper sheets with different resin solutions. Unbleached kraft bagasse paper sheets were treated with different resin solutions such as nitrocellulose, melamine formaldehyde, silicone, short and medium alkyd resin and the physico‐mechanical properties of the modified paper sheets were tested. The strength properties of treated paper sheets were highly improved especially in the case of treatment with melamine formaldehyde and silicone resin solutions. The effect of dipping time of paper sheets in different concentrations of resin solution on the strength properties was also investigated. Physico‐mechanical properties of thermally treated modified paper sheets with resins were also clarified. Concludes that promising results in the improvement of insulation of treated paper sheets with resin are obtained by studying the dielectric‐electric properties.

Abstract
Purpose
In the industrial silylation process, the cost of production can be greatly reduced by reducing the frequency of the replacement of the silane solution. The purpose of this paper is to describe how a method of discontinuous addition of concentrated solution into the KH560 treatment bath was developed, to improve further the effective availability of the silane solution and reduce cost of production.
Design/methodology/approach
The preparation and addition of each incremental amount of concentrated KH560 was studied in detail.
Findings
The results indicate that adding concentrated silane solution is an effective method of maintaining the target bath concentration.
Originality/value
The paper describes how a method of adding concentrated KH560 was developed to prolong the working time of KH560 solution for silane coating production, and to improve the availability of the KH560 in solution. The results indicated that adding concentrated solution was an effective method of prolonging the working time of the silane solution. The mixture ratio of the concentrated solution, and the volume of each incremental amount, both affected the performance of the KH560 solution.

Abstract
Aqueous solutions which contain H2SO4, H2S or mixtures of H2S and NH3 are corrosive to carbon steel and other commonly used alloys. Therefore, titanium has been evaluated as a possible construction material in these environments. This paper summarizes the results of a study of the corrosion, galvanic and hydrogen embrittlement behaviour of titanium in aqueous sulfidic and sulfate solutions. Variables discussed include the effect of solution pH, temperature and solution composition on the corrosion and electro chemical behaviour including galvanic effects of titanium. This paper also considers the effect of pH, temperature and mechanical loading rate (strain‐rate) on the ductility and embrittlement of titanium.

Abstract
For decision‐makers, the cognitive limit is one of the most critical factors which determine the quality of decisions, when they do not have enough information about their decision environment, and when they must strike a balance between conflicting objectives within a time limit. In such a situation, their decision‐making is often characterized by satisficing behaviors with multiple objectives under uncertainty. This paper aims to formulate a multiple‐objective satisficing problem and to study its fundamental properties, such as (1) existence of collectively satisficing solutions, (2) relationship among collectively satisficing solutions, Pareto satisficing solutions, weak Pareto satisficing solutions and max‐min solutions, and (3) characterization of Pareto satisficing solutions and of weak Pareto satisficing solutions.

Abstract
The influence of calcium nitrite corrosion inhibitor on the durability of Portland cement mortars against sulphate solutions was investigated experimentally in the present research. For this reason, mortar specimens were produced using CEM I 42.5N cement and were immersed in different sulphate and sulphate‐chloride contaminated solutions. Sulphate resistance was evaluated according to the procedure described in ASTM C1012. The properties measured were the specimens' expansion, development of compressive strength, changes in corrosion potential and corrosion current density measurements of steel‐containing specimens.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the strategic and organizational difficulties of multidivisional corporations with solution business (product service bundles). Most large multidivisional corporations are organized in a way that supports independence and market orientation of their organizational units. Solutions, however, require a high level of interaction and cooperation between corporate units. The authors collect evidence for this contradiction and resulting difficulties and propose a shift in the value creation strategy towards corporate headquarters having a stronger steering influence.
Design/methodology/approach
The authors analyze the economic performance of the largest semiconductor suppliers and relate these results to their product and solution focus. They then derive initial strategic recommendations based on the findings and organizational strategy literature.
Findings
Multidivisional companies that just add solution business onto their existing product‐based strategy experience difficulties. To overcome these, strategic adjustments are proposed that will lead to a stronger steering influence by corporate headquarters.
Practical implications
This paper shows the necessity of adjustments to corporate strategy when solution business is pursued. Companies need to actively support the interaction of their corporate units in the light of solution business.
Originality/value
It is recognized that solely solution‐focused companies require a different business model to product‐focused companies. However there has been little discussion on strategic adjustments by companies that supplement their existing product business with solutions.
