Vehicular data collection applications are emerging as an appealing technology to monitor urban areas, where a high concentration of connected vehicles with onboard sensors is a near future scenario. In this context, smartphones are, on one side, effective enablers of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) applications and, on the other side, highly sophisticated sensing p...

The biological uptake of plutonium (Pu) in aquatic ecosystems is of particular concern since it is an alpha-particle emitter with long half-life which can potentially contribute to the exposure of biota and humans. The diffusive gradients in thin films technique is introduced here for in-situ measurements of Pu bioavailability and speciation. A diffusion cell constructed for laboratory experime...

This protocol was developed based on the knowledge acquired in framework of Interreg MONITOOL project (EAPA_565/2016) where extensive sampling campaigns were performed transitional and coastal waters covering eight European countries. It provides detailed procedures guidelines for these waterbodies by concurrent collection discrete water samples deployment Diffusive Gradient Thin-films (DGT) pa...

The environmental behaviour of antimony (Sb) is gathering attention due to its increasingly extensive use in various products, particularly in plastics. Because of this it may be expected that plastic waste is an emission source for Sb in the environment. This study presents a comprehensive field investigation of Sb concentrations in diverse types of waste from waste handling facilities in Norw...

The sorption ability of Lewatit FO 36-DGT resin gel, which has been developed for arsenic determination, towards uranium was tested by batch experiments within this study the first time. Since uptake efficiency 99.0 ± 0.4% and maximum capacity not achieved even at U spike 1250 μg in solution, 36 seems to be a suitable binding phase DGT gels determination uranium. gel also does display any signi...

To delineate the glacial meltwater distribution, we used five noble gases for optimum multiparameter analysis (OMPA) of water masses in Dotson-Getz Trough (DGT), Amundsen Sea. The increased number tracers allowed us to define potential source waters at surface, which have not been possible with a small set tracers. highest submarine (SMW) fraction (~0.6%) was present depth ~450 m near Dotson Ic...

This article investigates distributed online convex optimization in the presence of an aggregative variable without any global/central coordinators over a multiagent network. In this problem, each individual agent is only able to access partial information time-varying global loss functions, thus requiring local exchanges between neighboring agents. Motivated by many applications reality, consi...

Yogyakarta Regional Tax Office always has difficulty satisfying tax revenue targets year by year. For example, Yogyakarta’s DGT could not meet the target in last three years, while DGCE exceeded target. Reflecting on this condition, needs help from other agencies form of collaborative governance that might them achieve set targets. Meanwhile, there is a lot research Collaborative Governance, bu...
