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.

Depositor discipline in the East Asian banking system (2015)
Journal Article
Sahul Hamid, F. (2015). Depositor discipline in the East Asian banking system. Malaysian Journal of Economic Studies, 52(1), 35-53

This paper analyses the effectiveness of depositor discipline in the East Asian banking system during the time surrounding the 1997 crisis period. Firstly, the paper investigates the 'wake-up call' hypothesis, to find out whether depositor responses... Read More about Depositor discipline in the East Asian banking system.

A cosmopolitan ethos for our future lawyers (2015)
Journal Article
Platsas, A. E. (2015). A cosmopolitan ethos for our future lawyers. Law Journal of the Higher School of Economics, 1, 150-168

This article advocates the strengthening of the spirit of cosmopolitanism in modern legal education. In contrast to the epistemic environment of predominantly domestic and nation-oriented discourses across law schools and faculties around the world,...

Ice jam flood hazard assessment and mapping of the Peace River at the Town of Peace River (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Lindenschmidt, K., Das, A., Rokaya, P., Chun, K., & Chu, T. (2015). Ice jam flood hazard assessment and mapping of the Peace River at the Town of Peace River. In 18th Workshop on the Hydraulics of Ice Covered Rivers (18-21)

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)
Conference Proceeding
Walter, X., Gajda, I., Forbes, S., Greenman, J., & Ieropoulos, I. (2015). A new design of membraneless microbial fuel cell: Anode and cathode share the same self-stratified electrolyte of urine. In M. Chianella, C. Barchiesi, & V. Cigolotti (Eds.), Proceedings of the 6th European Fuel Cell - Piero Lunghi Conference, EFC 2015. , (315-316)

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...

Influence of expansive minerals on the self-healing of cement paste and mortar systems (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Qureshi, T., & Al-Tabbaa, A. (2015). Influence of expansive minerals on the self-healing of cement paste and mortar systems. In Fifth International Conference of Self-healing Materials, Durham, NC (U.S.A.)

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...
