Mobile Sensor Network Design and Optimization for Air Quality Monitoring

Air quality and personal pollutant exposure measurement are important for the health and productivity of individuals. Accurate measurement of personal exposure is challenging because of the spatially and temporally heterogeneous distribution of pollutant concentrations. We propose to use low-cost and miniature mobile sensor networks to provide real-time measurement of the environment directly s...

Arduair: Air Quality Monitoring

Air pollution and quality monitoring is extremely important in today’s world as it has a direct impact on human health. Air pollution is on the rise due to a number of anthropogenic activities and its monitoring is of vital importance to mitigate certain measures to control it. In this paper we put forward a low-cost and low-power sensor based system for air quality monitoring. This sensor base...

Novel Design Methods for High-quality Lithographic Objectives Novel Design Methods for High-quality Lithographic Objectives

Celor doua Doamne din viata mea: mamaie si mama 7 Preface This thesis discusses some of the challenges of optical design for Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) mirror systems and illustrates novel design techniques and their application to, preponderantly, EUV systems and, in addition, some Deep Ultraviolet (DUV) lithographic objectives. The main added value of this thesis is the fact that it shows how ...

Air quality monitoring and forecasting in China

Introduction For the last decade the industrial activity of China has been growing at rapid pace, bringing economic wealth to its 1300 million inhabitants, but also generating an unprecedented level of air pollution. This deteriorates the air quality of the densely populated and industrialized areas such as Beijing, Shanghai and the Pearl River Delta, and increases the background pollution leve...
