The present study aims at developing a forecasting model to predict the next year’s air pollution concentrations in the atmosphere of Iran. In this regard, it proposes the use of ARIMA, SVR, and TSVR, as well as hybrid ARIMA-SVR and ARIMA-TSVR models, which combined the autoregressive part of the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model with the support vector regression technique...

INTRODUCTION The microcirculation supplies oxygen (O2) and nutrients to all cells with the red blood cell (RBC) acting as both a deliverer and sensor of O2. In sepsis, a proinflammatory disease with microvascular complications, small blood vessel alterations are associated with multi-organ dysfunction and poor septic patient outcome. We hypothesized that microvascular autoregulation-existing at...

Industrial air pollution is of major concern to upcoming Indian cities like Trivandrum and Pune in terms of industrialization and urbanization. Even the urban population is exposed to ambient air pollutants; on the other hand the sub-rurals contribute to the cigarette smoke and kitchen cooking fuels. A quantitative analysis on the mean concentration of SO2, NOX, and SPM in four different indust...

Articolul prezintă o aplicaţie în tehnica microundelor bazată pe utilizarea unor materiale ceramice puternic absorbante de microunde, care dezvoltă un efect de oxidare (post-ardere) termică a emisiilor poluante (CO, SO2, NOx, componente organice volatile COV) rezultate în urma incinerării deşeurilor medicale periculoase. Sunt prezentate aspecte teoretice şi experimentale ale comportării în câmp...

Secondary pollution derives from complex non-linear reactions involving precursor emissions, namely VOC, NOx, NH3, primary PM and SO2. Due to difficulty to cope with this complexity, Decision Support Systems (DSSs) are key tools to support Environmental Authorities in planning cost-effective air quality policies that fulfill EU Directive 2008/50 requirements. The objective of this work is to fo...
