We discuss transport coefficients in weakly ionized mixtures. We investigate the situations of weak and strong magnetic fields as well as electron temperature nonequilibrium. We present in each regime the Boltzmann equations, examples of transport fluxes, the structure of transport linear systems and discuss their solution by efficient iterative techniques. Numerical simulations are presented f...

Globalization has allowed goods and services to become increasingly available anywhere in the world. International transport is an essential part of globalization. This paper focuses on the evaluation of air emissions accompanying international transport of goods. The main method in performing the assessment of emissions is the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). However, the case study will only deal...

[1] We perform the first analysis of tropospheric transport using the global boundary propagator Green function, G, which partitions air at every point and time according to both the transit time since last surface contact and the location of that contact. We compute G for a 3-year period with the MATCH model driven by NCEP reanalyses. Last contact time is resolved in 3-d intervals, and last-co...

This paper investigates the potential impacts caused by Call Admission Control (CAC) mechanism of the air interface on simulations carried out for the transport network domain of UMTS Radio Access Network. Independent from the TNL CAC mechanism of the transport network which is in charge of Iub link bandwidth, the Radio CAC function deals with the highly non-linear resources needed for an attem...

Many photosynthetic microorganisms acclimate to CO(2) limited environments by induction and operation of CO(2)-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs). Despite their central role in CCM function, inorganic carbon (Ci) transport systems never have been identified in eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms. In the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a mutant, pmp1, was described in 1983 with deficiencies i...

A Cylindrical two layer fluid model for the transport of serous and mucus layer in the human trachea and the steady state condition due to cilia beating, some immotile cilia forming porous bed in serous sub -layer in contact with the epithelium and air motion by considering mucus as a visco-elastic fluid are studied. The effect of air-motion due to forced expiration and other processes is consi...

While guidelines on contact tracing (CT) after exposure to certain infectious pathogens during air travel exist, no guidance documents are available on CT in response to potential exposure on public ground transport. We reviewed scientific and non-scientific literature on transmission of airborne pathogens in public ground transport and on factors potentially influencing transmission. We identi...

Sikmninarv. The polar, basipetal transport of indoleacetic acid helps to mlainitain l)olarity of auxin movement in coleoptiles of Azcna sativa L. by opposing acropetal diffusion. This conclusion is supported by 3 different kinds of experiments. In all 3 experiments, sections took up 14C carboxyl-labeled indole-3-acetic acid anaerobically, anid the distribution of auxin within all sections was s...

[1] We report here the results from a coupled ocean-atmosphere inversion, in which atmospheric CO2 gradients and transport simulations are combined with observations of ocean interior carbon concentrations and ocean transport simulations to provide a jointly constrained estimate of air-sea and air-land carbon fluxes. While atmospheric data have little impact on regional air-sea flux estimates, ...
