The goal of this research is to assess hazardous heavy metal levels in PM2.5 fractioned road dust order quantify the risk inhalation and potential health effects. To accomplish this, Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS) was used determine concentrations eight metals (Cr, Cu, Ni, Zn, Cd, As, Pb, Hg) portion samples from five different land use areas (commercial, residential, ind...

Several thousands of people, including children, suffer from acute respiratory disease (ARD) every year worldwide. Pro-active planning and mitigation for these diseases require identification of the major drivers in a location-specific manner. While the importance of air pollutants in ARD has been extensively studied and emphasized, the role of weather variables has been less explored. With Del...

Power factor correction of boost converter is done by using predictive control strategy. In this paper predictive control algorithm is presented based on this algorithm all of the duty cycles required to achieve unity power factor in one half line period are calculated in advance by proportional Integral (PI) controller, the simulation results show that the proposed predictive strategy for PFC ...

BACKGROUND Mild hyperhomocysteinemia is independently associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Air pollution exposure induces short-term inflammatory changes that may determine hyperhomocysteinemia, particularly in the presence of a preexisting proinflammatory status such as that found in cigarette smokers. OBJECTIVE We examined the relation of air pollution levels with fa...

The purpose of load frequency control is to reduce transient oscillation frequencies than its nominal valueand achieve zero steady-state error for it.A common technique used in real applications is to use theproportional integral controller (PI). But this controller has a longer settling time and a lot of Extramutation in output response of system so it required that the parameters be adjusted ...

The Padmakar-Ivan (PI) index is a Wiener-Szeged-like topological index, which reflects certain structural features of organic molecules. In this paper, we study the maximum PI indices and the minimum PI indices for trees and unicyclic graphs respectively.

Original scientific paper This paper presents the use of proportional integral (PI), proportional integral derivative (PID) and fuzzy logic (FL) speed controller techniques in the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive. PI and PID controllers require precise linear mathematical model of the system. On the other hand, FL needs linguistic description of the system. The dynamic response o...

Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plant (DWWTP) type 1 and DWWTP 2 were being evaluated. is located in Sembir area while Tambakrejo which are both Sleman Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta (Daerah Istimewa or DIY), Indonesia. The emphasis this research to choose the manhole material has least leakage soil, influent discharge performance wastewater treatment quality effluent. method used measure ...

The PI index is a graph invariant defined as the summation of the sums of edges of neu and nev over all the edges of connected graph G, where neu is the number of edges of G lying closer to u than to v and nev is the number of edges of G lying closer to v than to u. The index is very simple to calculate and has disseminating power similar to that of the Wiener and the Szeged indices. The compre...

The study evaluated eight heavy metals content and soil pollution from agricultural soils in northern China. Multivariate and geostatistical analysis approaches were used to determine the anthropogenic and natural contribution of soil heavy metal concentrations. Single pollution index and integrated pollution index could be used to evaluate soil heavy metal risk. The results show that the first...
