National inventories submitted under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change are updated annually, i.e. the inventory for a new year is compiled and added and the emissions of the other inventory years are being revised when considered appropriate. Since this process requires the handling of much data and often many persons are involved, both in selecting representative emission factors a...

Chongqing, a metropolitan with over 32 million residents in southwest China, has suffered from SO2 pollution since 1980s. The emission inventory is an important tool to evaluate the and design effective reduction policies. present work developed scheme update obsolescent Chongqing obtained Multi-resolution Emission Inventory for China 2008 (MEIC2008). updated was estimated by integrating priori...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating role of interpersonal vulnerabilities in the association of borderline personality (BP) features with emotional reactivity to an interpersonal stressor. METHODS For this study, female university students with high (N = 23), mid (N = 23), and low (N = 22) BP features completed the Inventory of Interpersonal Proble...

Heavy-duty diesel vehicles contribute a substantial fraction of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter to on-road vehicle emission inventory. The objectives of this study are to estimate roadway link-based emission rates for heavy-duty trucks for use in emission inventory estimation, and to quantify the impact of factors affecting truck emissions. A speed-acceleration modal emissions approach i...

We developed a new emission inventory for Asia (Regional Emission inventory in ASia (REAS) Version 1.1) for the period 1980–2020. REAS is the first inventory to integrate historical, present, and future emissions in Asia on the basis of a consistent methodology. We present here emissions in 2000, historical emissions for 1980–2003, 5 and projected emissions for 2010 and 2020 of SO 2 , NOx, CO, ...

The First-Order decay method for carbon stocks is derived from first principles, and applications in the context of national greenhouse gas inventories are discussed. For methane emissions from landfills a method is developed that in principle is more accurate than the method currently recommended by the IPCC, and systematic errors are estimated numerically. The First-Order decay method is furt...
