Increasing the order of ambisonic reproduction allows 3D sound fields to be reconstructed with improved resolution and enhanced localisation, at the expense of higher channel counts, increased broadcast bandwidth, and increased storage requirements. Due to the resolution of human hearing it is possible that lowerorder reproduction is sufficient for elevated sources in comparison to sources loca...

Abstract The origin of Kiruna-type iron oxide–apatite ores is controversial, and debate presently centres on a ‘magmatic’ versus ‘hydrothermal’ mode formation. To complement recent investigations the Grängesberg ore deposit in northwestern part Palaeoproterozoic Bergslagen province central Sweden, we investigated oxygen isotope composition host rocks this large body. As metavolcanic metagranito...

In the Caribbean basin, particulate matter lower or equal to 10 ?m in diameter (PM10) has a huge impact on human mortality and morbidity due African dust. For first time this geographical area, theoretical framework of artificial intelligence is applied forecast PM10 concentrations. The aim study concentrations using six machine learning (ML) models: support vector regression (SVR), k-nearest n...

Accurate meteorological fields are imperative for correct air quality modeling through their influence on the various chemical species in atmosphere. In this study, simulations from Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model were conducted with generated by Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) using original observation nudging approaches to investigate if better performances PM2.5, O3, re...

This study quantifies the sensitivity of surface runoff to drought and climate change in the Diyala watershed shared between Iraq and Iran. This was achieved through a combined use of a wide range of changes in the amount of precipitation (a decline between 0% and −40%) and in the potential evapotranspiration rate (an increase between 0% and +30%). The Medbasin-monthly rainfall-runoff model (Me...

The objective of this research was to develop a building thermal analysis and air quality predictive (BTA-AQP) model to predict indoor climate and long-term air quality (NH3, H2S and CO2 concentrations and emissions) for swine deep-pit buildings. The paper presents the development of the BTA-AQP model using a building thermal transient model, artificial neural networks, and typical meteorologic...

Timed I/O automata (TIOA) is a mathematical framework for modeling and verification of distributed systems that involve discrete and continuous dynamics. TIOA can be used for example, to model a real-time software component controlling a physical process. The TIOA model is sufficiently general to subsume other models in use for timed systems. The Tempo Toolset, currently under development, is a...

shiftwork is now a major feature of working life across a broad range of industries and circadian rhythms play an important role in shiftwork tolerance. so, the aim of this study was examine the relationships between age, morning-type and rigidity sleeping habits with shiftwork tolerance among shiftworkers of karun oil and gas exploitation company. the sample consisted of 295 shiftworkers of ah...
