This paper summarizes highlights of the OG3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 sessions of the XXVIth International Cosmic Ray Conference in Salt Lake City, which were devoted to issues of origin/composition, acceleration and propagation.

Carbonaceous aerosols are responsible for large uncertainties in climate models, degraded visibility, and adverse health effects. The Carbonaceous Aerosols and Radiative Effects Study (CARES) was designed to study carbonaceous aerosols in the natural environment of the Central Valley, California, and learn more about their atmospheric formation and aging. This paper presents results from spectr...

Introduction The Potomac Formation is a heterogeneous assemblage of ancient river deposits consisting chiefly of unconsolidated and poorly consolidated sands, silts, clays, and small amounts of gravel, along with localized zones of diamictons of uncertain origin. It is the dominant geologic unit in the City of Alexandria. It crops out or is close to the surface everywhere west of Old Town and D...

This paper presents a version of the monocentric city model that incorporates heterogeneous commuting speeds by introducing radial commuting highways. This model implies that metropolitan area population spreads out along new highways, which are positively valued by residents. Simulations of conservative specifications of the model imply that each additional highway ray causes about a 10 percen...

BACKGROUND The risk of transmission of tuberculosis is high in crowded conditions. Addis Ababa has a relatively high burden of tuberculosis and its city buses are often filled with commuters. Tuberculosis is a potential occupational hazard for city bus drivers and cash collectors. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to estimate the proportion of tuberculosis among city bus drivers and ...

This article is a single source introduction to the emerging concept of smart cities. It can be used for familiarizing researchers to the vast scope of research possible in this application domain. The smart city is primarily a concept and there is still not a clear and consistent definition of among practitioners and academia. In a simplistic explanation, a smart city is a place where traditio...
