Energy management of the organ fraction of the municipal solid waste. Case study: Metropolitan area of Medellin, Colombia (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
The global problem of production and final disposal of the municipal solid waste, has today a greater environmental impact due to economic growth, the industrial development and the increase of population in urban areas. In the case of Colombia, the... Read More about Energy management of the organ fraction of the municipal solid waste. Case study: Metropolitan area of Medellin, Colombia.
Ice jam flood hazard assessment and mapping of the Peace River at the Town of Peace River (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Efforts are underway in Canada to develop, update and extend flood risk assessments and mapping for river sections prone to flooding. However, most of these previous works are limited to the open-water case. Very little has been done to include flood...

A new design of membraneless microbial fuel cell: Anode and cathode share the same self-stratified electrolyte of urine (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Regardless of architecture, microbial fuel cell technology requires a plurality of units to achieve exploitable electrical power. This implies that each unit needs a simple design allowing the production of the needed multiplicity. Here, we present a...

Electricity and catholyte production from ceramic MFCS treating urine (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) offer a promising technology for electricity production. In the anodic chamber, an anaerobic biofilm breaks down the organic compounds present in the urine to generate electricity. In the cathodic chamber, the oxygen reduc...

Encapsulated mineral precursors for self-healing cement based composites (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Influence of expansive minerals on the self-healing of cement paste and mortar systems (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Expansive minerals have great prospects for improving the self-healing capacity of concrete. Once a crack start propagating, an embedded unhydrated expansive mineral could hydrate and expand hence bridging and healing the cracks. This study investiga...

Effect of influential users on recommendation (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Relevant information stored in boundless pool of data source are required for the recommendation provided for users in recommender systems. Current recommender systems still suffer from inaccurate or erroneous predictions for users. This may be due t... Read More about Effect of influential users on recommendation.
Case studies on U-state space control system design for aircraft dynamic model (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
In this study, U-state space design approach is used to develop a control system of linearized F-16 aircraft dynamic model. The related F-16 model is converted from the original nonlinear dynamics by Taylor series around the trimmed equilibrium. The...
