TL;DR: The structure of C15H19N3O5S2 as mentioned in this paper can be broken down into a one-dimensional ribbon parallel to the b axis, involving hydrogen bonds of the sugar residues only, and a two-dimensional layer structure based on the NH...O and OH...N hydrogen bonds.
Abstract: In the structure of the title compound, C15H19N3O5S2, the bond lengths at the linking sulfur atom are significantly different [1.7473 (17) and 1.811 (2) Å], and the angle at the exocyclic nitrogen atom is wide at 128.45 (18)°. The interplanar angle between the tolyl and thiadiazole rings is 9.2 (1)°. The complex hydrogen-bonding pattern, involving five donors and five acceptors, can be broken down into a one-dimensional ribbon parallel to the b axis, involving hydrogen bonds of the sugar residues only, and a two-dimensional layer structure parallel to the ab plane, based on the N—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds.
TL;DR: In this article , a short exploratory paper outlines the origins and definition of natural capital, explores the relationship between natural capital and natural asset management, and provides an illustrative case study of how one of the leading companies in the hospitality industry, namely Marriott international, has addressed natural capital in their most recent environmental, social and governance report.
Abstract: There has been some recent interest in the role that natural capital can play in the transition to a more sustainable hospitality industry. However, little work has been published in the academic literature on the role of natural capital in the hospitality industry and how it can be assessed, and this represents a gap in that literature. With this in mind, this short exploratory paper outlines the origins and definition of natural capital, looks at some of the ways in which the hospitality industry benefits from natural capital, explores the relationship between natural capital and natural asset management, and provides an illustrative cameo case study of how one of the leading companies in the hospitality industry, namely Marriott international, has addressed natural capital in their most recent environmental, social and governance report. The paper concludes that there is, as yet, very limited universal recognition of natural capital as an element of sustainability strategy in the hospitality industry. Indeed, even where it is in evidence, natural capital is still viewed within the idiom of economic growth and the continuing expansion of the hospitality industry. The paper suggests, however, that the adoption and adaptation of asset management practices may provide a more realistic way of assessing and measuring the current and evolving value and condition of natural capital.
