Dust levels around the Tema industrial area of Greater Accra Region have seen no reduction in recent years. Even though at some periods time a natural drop dust pollution is assured, overall variation characteristics concentration PM2.5, PM10, and Total Suspended Particles (TSP) not been studied This paper examines across four (4) locations within metropolitan with specific interest selecting (...

Software evolves to fix bugs and add features, but stopping and restarting existing programs to take advantage of these changes can be inconvenient and costly. Dynamic software updating (DSU) addresses these problems by updating programs while they run. The challenge is to develop DSU infrastructure that is flexible, safe, and efficient—DSU should enable updates that are likely to occur in prac...

An accurate estimation of the chlorophyll-a (Chla) concentration is crucial for water quality monitoring and is highly desired by various government agencies and environmental groups. However, using satellite observations for Chla estimation remains problematic over coastal waters due to their optical complexity and the critical atmospheric correction. In this study, we coupled an atmospheric a...

The Raritan Bay Slag Site (New Jersey) was designated a Superfund site in 2009 because the seawall, jetties, and sediment contained lead (Pb). Our objective was to compare Pb and mercury (Hg) levels in biota and public perceptions of exposure at the Superfund and reference sites. Samples (algae, invertebrates, fish) were collected from the Raritan Bay Slag Site and reference sites and analyzed ...

The highest exclusive jet multiplicity studied at LEP experiments is five. In this paper we compute the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to e + e ‐ annihilation to five jets, essentially closing the (pure) perturbative QCD studies of exclusive jetty final states at LEP. We compare fixed-order perturbative results with ALEPH data. We estimate hadronization corrections to five-jet observable...

Hidden sectors could give rise to a wide variety of events at the LHC. Confining hidden are known engender with small number jets when they weakly-coupled high energies, and quasi-spherical soft unclustered energy patterns (SUEPs) very strongly-coupled (large 't Hooft coupling) energies. The intermediate regime is murky, signals hiding from existing search strategies. While coupling not calcula...

Recent observations of QGP-like conditions in high-multiplicity pp collisions from ALICE experiment at the LHC warrants an introspection whether to use as a baseline measurement characterize heavy-ion for possible formation Quark-Gluon Plasma. A double differential study particle spectra and thermodynamics produced system function charged-particle multiplicity transverse spherocity would shed l...

In his last book, The Aesthetic Dimension (1978), Marcuse argued that a concern for aesthetics is justified when political change is unlikely. But the relation between aesthetics and politics is oblique: “Art cannot change the world, but it can contribute to changing the consciousness ... of the men and women who could change the world.” (p. 33). Marcuse also linked his critique of capitalism t...

Many SMEs and non-profit organizations suffer when their Web servers become unavailable due to flash crowd effects when their web site becomes popular. One of the solutions to the flash-crowd problem is to place the web site on a scalable CDN (Content Delivery Network) that replicates the content and distributes the load in order to improve its response time. In this paper, we present our appro...
