The MWTP: Monterrey Weather, Traffic and Pollution Database contains a collection of historic weather conditions, and recent traffic and air pollution data of the metropolitan area of Monterrey, Mexico. Collected data includes: temperature, humidity, raining conditions, wind speed, travel distance, travel time, PM2.5, PM10, O3, among many others. As of February 2017, the MWTP database contained...

The effect of the volume flow rate of the heat transfer fluid (air) on the thermal parameters of the solar air collector with a single air pass without using fins under the absorbing plate have been investigated experimentally and theoretically. We use a new design of solar air collector which aims to optimize these parameters in the region cited above. Our solar air collector was realized at t...

The main object of this study is the improvement of the dynamics of NO₂ sensors based on ZnO nanostructures. Investigations presented in this paper showed that the combination of temperature and ultraviolet (UV) activation of the sensors can significantly decrease the sensor response and regeneration times. In comparison with the single activation method (elevated temperature or UV), these time...

The gas sensing properties of resistive gas sensors of BaFe0.7Ta0.3O3−δ (BFT30) prepared by the socalled aerosol deposition method, a method to manufacture dense ceramic films at room temperature, were investigated. The electrical response of the films was investigated first under various oxygen concentrations and in a wide temperature range between 350 and 900 C. Between 700 and 900 C, the con...

Background: In embryological culture dishes, there is a temperature decline when they are removed outside incubators. This study aimed at investigating the effects of this temperature decline within a certain time frame, the type of culture dish with or without the use of laminar air flow and whether it is possible to achieve a sufficient thermal control with the use of a heating stage. Materia...

molybdenum thin films with 50 and 150 nm thicknesses were deposited on silicon substrates, using dc magnetron sputtering system, then post-annealed at different temperatures (200, 325, 450, 575 and 700°c) with flow oxygen at 200 sccm (standard cubic centimeter per minute). the crystallographic structure of the films was obtained by means of x-ray diffraction (xrd) analysis. an atomic force micr...

[1] This paper presents indirect observational evidence that desert dust can modulate the amplitude of easterly waves in the Atlantic Ocean. Twenty two years of NCEP/ NCAR reanalysis and dust from a global transport model are used to characterize the evolution of enhanced easterly waves. Lag composites of analysis increments (analysis minus first–guess) of geopotential height (700–hPa) anomalie...

Four divers were exposed successively for ten minute periods to pure tones of 5600, 1400, and 700 hertz (Hz) (in that order) in air at 100 decibels above 20 raicropascal and in water at various sound pressure levels between 125 and 150 decibels above 20 micropascal. Divers incurred moderate temporary auditory-threshold shifts (TTS) from all exposures. Equivalent amounts of TTS are produced in w...
