Supervising Your In‐Group? How Social Identification Shapes Financial Sector Regulatory Leniency
ABSTRACT Both practitioners and governance scholars recognize the importance of external oversight, especially in regulated industries like the financial sector. However, the failure of financial sector regulators and enforcement officials (supervisors) to act is often cited as a primary cause of ineffective governance.

Estimating Impervious Surface Cover in Flathead County, Montana
Northwest Montana has seen a significant increase in its population in the past twenty years. The increase in population, and associated development, is thought to be associated with "amenity migration"; people moving to an area to exploit the ...

Effect of impervious surface on peak discharge and runoff volume [PDF]
Urbanization processes increase the area of impervious surface in a catchment due to alteration of pervious surface. As a result, the urbanization processes will affect the rainfall-runoff process as higher surface runoff volume will be generated ...

A climate‐sensitive tropical urbanism under extreme heat†
Tropical urban dwellers face twin climate challenges that impinge on their quality of life: climate overheating and the urban heat island (UHI). The latter superimposed on the former to lead to high levels of thermal discomfort, carbon and energy consequences.

A systematic investigation of SCREAM‐DNP beyond methyl groups, using ring‐inversion dynamics on proline as a model compound. Comparison between free proline and proline‐containing oligopeptides at different sequence positions shows how local structural context modulates ring dynamics and site‐specific DNP enhancement.

ANALYSIS OF THE IMPERVIOUS SURFACE EXPANSION ON URBAN RUNOFF
Analysis of impervious surface expansion in urban areas has been a great deal all over the world. The impact of this expansion has been challenging the environment, people in particular. This study has considered the expansion in urban imperviousness as one of the root causes of urban water accumulation and the subsequent disturbances that people incur

Electrodeposited MnCoOX and MnNiCoOX spinels on Ni foam are evaluated as binder‐free, platinum group metal‐free cathodes in direct ammonia fuel cells. MnCoOX matches and surpasses Pt in oxygen reduction performance while tolerating ammonia crossover, whereas Ni incorporation dilutes the active Co–Mn sites and degrades performance.
