Human Adaptation to Smog

Reportrapport Steering Smog Prediction Steering Smog Prediction

The use of computational steering for smog prediction is described. This application is representative for many underlying issues found in steering high performance applications: high computing times, large data sets, and many di erent input parameters. After a short description of the smog prediction model, its visualization and steering are described. The amount of computation needed to solve...

Cognitive Evolution of the “Human” Concept and Its Adaptation to Piaget’s Theory

Background: Cognitions and attitudes, especially anthropological attitudes, are influential in human behavior. Objectives: The present study was conducted to investigate the cognitive evolution of the human concept in elementary school female students and its adaptation to Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. Materials & Methods: The present research method is qualitative of deductive-ind...

The Standardization of Smog

Of the plants commonly found in Los Angeles County whose responses to smog 2 have been under extensive observation, Poa annua (annual bluegrass) was selected as one worthy of intensive study. It was early reported as one of the most sensitive of the plants observed in the field (11). Because it has a regular habit of growth, can be easily and quiekly grown in small containers, and because the b...

Effects of photochemical smog

Photochemical smog IS a complex m1xture of chemiCals, some harmless. others h1ghly react1ve and poten11ally dangerous for plants, an1mats and humans. The main consmuents of photochemical smog are ozone (0.,) and nitrogen diox1de (N0 2). Although ozone is widely cons1dered the chTef indicator of photochemical smog, Ollrogen diox1de IS an important pollutant in 11s own right, alfecllng human and ...
