When speaking about harm to the human body in the term of pollution, indoor pollution is equally harmful as the outdoor pollution. Volatile Organic Compounds contribute to the toxic oxidants which are harmful to the ecosystem, human health and atmosphere. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are major group of air pollutants which play critical role in atmospheric chemistry. It contributes to toxi...

The research project illustrates how performance-driven design tools can be conducted as an architectural methodology that suggests innovative approach to a habitation shell in extreme environmental conditions without human assistance. This study attempts use data revealed by NASA and its habitat requirements develop conceptual for form then simulate it with Mars analyze the shell's structural ...

Past research has demonstrated how local-scale human impacts—including reduced water quality, overfishing, and eutrophication—adversely affect coral reefs. More recently, global-scale shifts in ocean conditions arising from climate change have been shown to impact Here, we surveyed benthic reef communities at 34 U.S.-affiliated Pacific islands spanning a gradient of oceanic productivity, temper...

Simultaneously with a control of breeding sites primarily for Culex quinquefasciatus and secondarily for anophelines with Bacillus sphaericus in the town of Maroua (120,000 inhabitants) in North Cameroon, a survey of anopheline populations and of transmission rates of malaria was performed. Monthly night catches in 8 districts of the town emphasized the relation between the biting rate by Anoph...

Choice mechanisms and social networks, including "marriage markets", seem well-suited to be modelled using agent-type simulations. Few real-world empirical examples are available in the public literature, particularly those using human populations of size. We reviewed partnership models in both the micro-simulation and agent-based literatures. We then empirically implemented an algorithm derive...

Ecosystems around the globe are facing irreversible impacts due to climate change, habitat destruction, hunting, and an ever-increasing human population. Estimating densities of species across their geographical range helps us understand natural variation anthropogenic effects on assess effectiveness existing conservation measures. Various methods have been used produce accurate precise populat...
