Recently, random linear network coding has been widely applied in peer-to-peer network applications. Instead of sharing the raw data with each other, peers in the network produce and send encoded data to each other. As a result, the communication protocols have been greatly simplified, and the applications experience higher end-to-end throughput and better robustness to network churns. Since it...

Vehicular air pollution affects both urban and town air quality all around the world. Air quality in many developing countries is deteriorating according to (WHO/UNEP 1992) report because these countries lack the resources to invest in emission control. Global air pollution problems have captured public attention, because of stratospheric ozone depletion and global warming. In response to globa...

The continuous use of fuels like petroleum is recognized as unsustainable because of their natural exhaustion and contribution to the pollution in the environment. Not only for the environmental perspective but also for the economic sustainability, we necessarily need to develop alternative, renewable and pollution free fuels. Harvesting energy from the sun (solar energy), earth (geothermal ene...

We evaluate the impact of climate change on U.S. air quality and health in 2050 and 2100 using a global modeling framework and integrated economic, climate, and air pollution projections. Three internally consistent socioeconomic scenarios are used to value health benefits of greenhouse gas mitigation policies specifically derived from slowing climate change. Our projections suggest that climat...
