Addressing conflict over dams
The World Commission on Dams (WCD) was active between 1998 and 2000. Despite the Commission’s short life, it left a lasting mark on the global debate on large dams, one of the most intractable and conflicted issues in...
Case Report: An MRI Traumatic Brain Injury Longitudinal Case Study at 7 Tesla
