Air pollution threatens the health of children in China.
CONTEXT . China's rapid economic development has come at the cost of severe environmental degradation, most notably from coal combustion. Outdoor air pollution is associated with >300000 deaths, 20 million cases of respiratory illness, and a health cost of >500 billion renminbi (>3% of gross domestic product) annually. The young are particularly susceptible to air pollution, yet there has been ...
متن کاملEffect of the Apulia air quality plan on PM10 and benzo(a)pyrene exceedances
During the last years, several exceedances of PM10 and benzo(a)pyrene limit values exceedances were recorded in Taranto, a city in southern Italy included in so-called areas at high risk of environmental crisis because of the presence of a heavy industrial district including the largest steel factory in Europe. A study of these critical pollution events showed a close...
متن کاملRobust Control Of Air-Flow In Air-Heating Set
The paper deals with the robust control of air-flow in air-heating set. The identification is perrfomred using step responses and approximation via second order system. The controller is designed using the structured singular value (SSV or μ) and algebraic approach. Since the cost function is nonconvex the optimization cannot be done using standard tools. Hence an evolutionary algorithm Differe...
متن کاملContinuing Plan Quality Optimisation
Finding high quality plans for large planning problems is hard. Although some current anytime planners are often able to improve plans quickly, they tend to reach a limit at which the plans produced are still very far from the best possible, but these planners fail to find any further improvement, even when given several hours of runtime. We present an approach to continuing plan quality optimi...
متن کاملEnergy Efficient Process Heating: Managing Air Flow
Much energy is lost through excess air flow in and out of process heating equipment. Energy saving opportunities from managing air flow include minimizing combustion air, preheating combustion air, minimizing ventilation air, and reconfiguring openings to reduce leakage. This paper identifies these opportunities and presents methods to quantify potential energy savings from implementing these e...
