Visible and near-infrared electron–ion bremsstrahlung measurements in fusion research devices, used to determine the effective ionic charge (Zeff), are often plagued by pollutant emission from the cool-edge region. The primary sources of visible and near-infrared non-bremsstrahlung continuum emission in the Madison Symmetric Torus arise from electron–neutral interactions, and the pollutant emis...

Taylor et al. (1993) described a pollutant bioassay based upon a change in the rate at which Gammarus pulex (L.) consumes a novel food source (eggs of the brine shrimp Anemia salina) when the animals are stressed by exposure to a pollutant. The bioassay is rapid and non-destructive, and produces results with less variation than reported using conventional leaf-feeding bioassays. However, it is ...

BACKGROUND The amyloidoses are protein misfolding diseases characterized by the deposition of amyloid that leads to cell death and tissue degeneration. In immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis (AL), each patient has a unique monoclonal immunoglobulin light chain (LC) that forms amyloid deposits. Somatic mutations in AL LCs make these proteins less thermodynamically stable than their non-amyloi...

—we present in this work a numerical study of pollutant dispersion resulting from a bent chimney around twin obstacles placed in the lee side of the source. A three-dimensional numerical model with the turbulent Reynolds Stress Model (RSM) and a non-uniform grid system was used to examine the effects of a double tandem obstacle cubic on the development of the incoming flow. The results obtained...

OBJECTIVE The goal of the present study was to compare the prognoses of patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes who were treated with invasive or conservative treatment strategies. METHODS We performed a meta-analysis of studies of patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes to assess the benefits of an invasive strategy vs. a conservative strategy for short- and l...

This article deals with cooperation issues in international pollution problems in a two dimensional dynamic framework implied by the accumulation of the pollutant and of the capital goods. Assuming that countries do reevaluate at each period the advantages to cooperate or not given the current stocks of pollutant and capital, and under the assumption that damage cost functions are linear, we de...

In this paper, we assume that a professional pollutant treatment enterprise treats all of the pollutants emitted by multiple small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). In order to determine the treatment price, SMEs can bargain with the pollutant treatment enterprise individually, or through forming alliances. We propose a bargaining game model of centralized pollutant treatment to study how th...

monitoring and forecasting of air quality parameters in urban areas is considered as one of the challenges of the human environment. it depends on several factors such as topography, climate, population and transport network which the interaction of these spatial factors has been as a dynamic phenomenon, non-linear and ambiguous. in this study, two models suggested to predict and modeling conce...
