Concentrations, composition and sources apportionment of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were investigated in the edible bivalves (oysters, mussels and clams) and sipunculida samples collected from coastal areas of Beibu Gulf, China. The results showed that the total PAH concentrations ranged from 36.4 to 403.3 ng/g dry weight. Compared with other bays and coastal areas, current cont...

The main reason for using alternative fuels in compression ignition engine is that the consumption and demand of petroleum products are increasing every year due to urbanization, increase in vehicular density and power requirement is going up and to reduce emission produced by today’s diesel engine, which in turns require a clean burning fuel that perform well under the variety of operating con...

Vehicular networks have attracted increasing attention from both the academy and industry. Applications of vehicular networks require efficient data communications between vehicles, whose performance is concerned with delivery ratio, delivery delay, and routing cost. The most previous work of routing in vehicular networks assumes oversimplified node mobility when evaluating the performance of v...

Telematics communication technologies and vehicular networks have been identified as key technologies for increasing road safety and transport efficiency. Telematics communication technologies and vehicular networks aim to ensure traffic safety for drivers, provide comfort for passengers and reduce transportation time and fuel consumption. The development of vehicular communication and networki...

Mobility management is one of the most challenging research issues for vehicular networks to support a variety of intelligent transportation system (ITS) applications. The traditional mobility management schemes for Internet and mobile ad hoc network (MANET) cannot meet the requirements of vehicular networks, and the performance degrades severely due to the unique characteristics of vehicular n...
