This paper investigates the probable nexus between methane (CH4) and air pollutants, a public health hazard in Bangladesh. The hypothesis considers that concentration of CH4 is dependent on ten pollutants found five districts Dhaka Division, major urban industrial area These are: Particular matters (PM2.5), Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), oxide (NOx), Aerosol optical thickness (AOT), Sulfur (SO2), Carb...

BACKGROUND There is growing concern in communities surrounding airports regarding the contribution of various emission sources (such as aircraft and ground support equipment) to nearby ambient concentrations. We used extensive monitoring of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in neighborhoods surrounding T.F. Green Airport in Warwick, RI, and land-use regression (LUR) modeling techniques to determine the im...

Background: There is a growing body of literature linking GIS-based measures of traffic density to asthma and other respiratory outcomes. However, no consensus exists on which traffic indicators best capture variability in different pollutants or within different settings. As part of a study on childhood asthma etiology, we examined variability in outdoor concentrations of multiple traffic-rela...

A previous document, RFC 1341, defines a format and general framework for the representation of a wide variety of data types in Internet mail. This document defines one particular type of MIME data, the matter-transport/sentient-life-form type. The mattertransport/sentient-life-form MIME type is intended to facilitate the wider interoperation of electronic mail messages that include entire sent...

introduction no2 is not only a potential air pollutant in urban and industrial environments but also a precursor for smog of urban environment that is another ozone pollutant as well. some of the urban environments in iran have high tropospheric and near surface no2 which requires research attentions especially in these years. that is the issue of concern in the present study using satellite da...

In this paper a two-sector dynamic model of business ‡uctuations is presented. It is a disequilibrium dynamic model with two laws of evolution (dynamic laws) built into it: prices of commodities change according to the market disequilibrium of supply and demand, while quantities change according to the stock disequilibrium and the shifting of the degree of utilization of productive capacity awa...

We present new results from a continuing Keck program to study gravitational lens systems. We have obtained redshifts for three lens systems, SBS 0909+532, HST 1411+5211, and CLASS B2319+051. For all of these systems, either the source or lens redshift (or both) has been previously unidentified. Our observations provide some of these missing redshifts. We find (z ℓ , z s) = (0.830, 1.377) for S...
