In most countries, basic research is supported by research councils that select, after peer review, the individuals or teams that are to receive funding. Unfortunately, the number of grants these research councils can allocate is not infinite and, in most cases, a minority of the researchers receive the majority of the funds. However, evidence as to whether this is an optimal way of distributin...

CO2 concentration is one air quality parameter set by WHO. High concentrations of carbon dioxide will have an impact on human health. a gas that can cause greenhouse effect in city like Surabaya. This study aims to reveal the dynamics northern Surabaya, which center urban activity type research descriptive analytic with quantitative approach. The population used based division administrative re...

Indoor CO2 concentration is considered a metric of indoor air quality that affects the health occupants. In this study, hybrid model was developed for forecasting varying levels in residential apartment unit presence occupants by controlling ventilation rates heat recovery ventilator. model, mass balance equation single zone as white-box combined with Bayesian neural network (BNN) black box mod...

Carbon dioxide fluxes between the soil and atmosphere were determined on the 1991 free-air carbon dioxide enrichment (FACE) experiment at the Maricopa Agricultural Center, Maricopa, Arizona. The study was conducted on drip-irrigated cotton in conjunction with other physical and physiological measurements. Fluxes were measured with a 1.6 1 closedchamber static sampling system. The main treatment...

Chemical absorption of CO2 into aqueous amine solutions using a nonstirred bubble column was experimentally investigated. The performance four different primary and secondary amines including monoethanolamine (MEA), piperazine (PZ), 2-piperidineethanol (2PE), homopiperazine (HPZ) were compared. effects initial concentration amine, the inlet mole fraction CO2, solution temperature on rate loadin...

Forests mitigate climate change by absorbing CO2. However, N2O emissions in forests, which has 298 times larger global warming potential than CO2, can diminish the mitigation role of forests. Thus, it is crucial to project not only CO2 absorption but also forests provide a scientific basis for 1.5 °C Paris Agreement goal. This study used biogeochemical model, called FBD-CAN, and South Korean fr...
