In recent years, emissions from the road transportation industry in China have been increasing rapidly. To evaluate the reduction potential of greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions of the industry in China, its emission inventory was calculated and scenario analysis was created for the period between 2012 and 2030 in this paper. Based on the Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning System (LEAP...

The paper presents the first ever demographic scenarios for the regions of Russia. Scenarios are developed for 49 ohlusts (regions), six kruys (territories), 21 republics, one autonomous oblast and two national cities, Moscow and St. Petersburg. Five scenarios are considered: two optimistic scenarios, two medium scenarios and one pessimistic scenario. The scenarios are combinations of three mor...

today, climate change is one of the most important scientific and even the political – social issues. the causes of climate change can be divided into natural and human - made. natural factors have the long-term performance and long history, such as the cycle of solar activity, dusts and gases of volcanic eruptions, geodetic and static agents and etc. human-made factors was mainly formed and ac...

Projecting the distribution of malaria vectors under climate change is essential for planning integrated vector control activities for sustaining elimination and preventing reintroduction of malaria. In China, however, little knowledge exists on the possible effects of climate change on malaria vectors. Here we assess the potential impact of climate change on four dominant malaria vectors (An. ...

With the world still far off-track from averting relentless global warming, and most countries struggling in meeting their self-imposed goals, hydrogen can potentially play a crucial role tackling major challenge of decarbonising economy framework sustainable development. Capable to store, carry, convert energy variety ways, be versatile tool exploit fully potential renewable sources. Using hol...

This work aims to elucidate notions concerning the ideal operation and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions benefits of combined heat and power (CHP) systems by investigating how various metrics change as a function of the GHG emissions from the underlying electricity source, building use type and climate. Additionally, a new term entitled ‘‘CHP Attributable” reductions is introduced to quantify the ...

OBJECTIVE Computed tomography and chest radiographs provide the standard imaging for staging, treatment, and surveillance of testicular germ cell neoplasms. Positron emission tomography has recently been utilized for staging, but is somewhat limited in its ability to provide anatomic localization. Fusion imaging combines the metabolic information provided by positron emission tomography with th...

the present treatment goals for inflammatory bowel diseases (ibd) especially ulcerative colitis (uc) include rapid induction of clinical remission, steroid-free maintenance of clinical remission, mucosal healing and improvement of quality of life in uc patients. immunomodulators have been reserved for steroid- dependent or steroid- refractory uc patients. among these agents, azathioprine/6-merc...

. introduction global warming and its result, climate change is an important subject investigated especially in the recent decades by researchers throughout the world. in these studies, at first, climatic parameters changes are investigated. considering many uncertainties in the parameters estimation, it is better to choose a method in order to study and analyze the uncertainty band due to diff...
