conclusions every 10 μg/m3 increase in the concentration of the pollutant no2 in the studied cities led to increase in the rr of myocardial infarction, cardiovascular diseases, and obstructive pulmonary disease by 0.4%, 0.2%, and 0.4%, respectively, in 2011. higher rr value can depict mismanagement in urban air quality. the lower level of rr value might be achieved if some control strategies fo...

Cement powder size classification efficiency significantly affects quality of final product and extent of energy consumption in clinker grinding circuits. Static and dynamic or high efficiency air separators are being used widely in closed circuit with multi-compartment tube ball mills, High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) and more recently Vertical Roller Mills (VRM) units in cement plants ...

The widespread diffusion of sensors, mobile devices, social media and open data are reconfiguring the way data underpinning policy and science are being produced and consumed. This in turn is creating both opportunities and challenges for policy-making and science. There can be major benefits from the deployment of the IoT in smart cities and environmental monitoring, but to realize such benefi...

This short paper provides an overview of our activities in establishing the AirSensEUR open software/hardware multi-sensor platform for measuring ambient air quality. Particular emphasis is put on the experiences and lessons learned in the implementation of our platform from the point of view of interoperable data management. Following an overview of the context, architecture and results, we fo...

In this paper, we present the structural modeling approach, an application framework and development process for the construction of flight simulators. Structural modeling was developed to address functional, nonfunctional, and process requirements for flight simulators. It has been successfully used in the development of large scale (one million lines of Ada code) flight simulators for the Uni...
