Policies to reduce household energy use usually target the individual customer. This is probably one explanation for the limited effect of many information policies, because two concepts with different meanings are confused: individual and household.

Household economies of scale arise when households with multiple members share public goods, making larger households better o¤ at lower per capita expenditures. Research into household scale economies has not considered how household economies of scale have changed over time. I use American household expenditure surveys, covering 1888 to 1935, to produce the …rst comparable historical estimate...

To efficiently fuse multi-spectral (MS) and panchromatic (PAN) images acquired from THEOS satellite, the authors offer proper parameters to improve IHS fusion technique based on its spectral responsivity. This concept was originally contributed by Tu et al., applied to IKONOS image fusion. Red and NIR bands of THEOS imagery with lower response were adjusted to be higher and close to the respons...

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of household tobacco smoke exposure in children presenting to asthma clinic at Prapokklao Hospital and to survey parental knowledge and perception to the dangers of household smoke exposure. Parents/guardians who brought their children to asthma clinic during June-September 2014 were interviewed to complete survey questionnaires. If there we...

The game was developed to teach middle school students about the biological consequences of exposure to toxic chemicals in an environmental science context, as well as the risks associated with abusing these chemicals as inhalants. Middle school students (n = ...

Against the Spectrum distortion problem of the IHS method which exists in the Quick-Bird data fusion, the paper proposes visualpan band method and Linear weighted matching two methods to improve it, provides the best value scope of the α in the VisualPan band method as well as the best weighted values of pan and I when the spatial characteristic and the spectrum characteristic of the linear wei...
