We give limits defined in terms of abstract pointclasses of the amount of determinacy available in certain canonical inner models involving strong cardinals. We show for example: Theorem A Det(Π1-IND)⇒there exists an inner model with a strong cardinal. Theorem B Det(AQI)⇒there exist type-1 mice and hence inner models with proper classes of strong cardinals where Π1-IND (AQI) is the pointclass o...

Airborne particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 microns or less (PM2.5), as well as slightly bigger particles (PM10), arrive from the westerly direction and collect in the city centre of Tehran, the capital of Iran. The statistical characteristics and daily trend of the air quality index (AQI) in Theran were studied over an 11-year period (2002- 2012). Various statistical analyses were appli...

A cholesterol-based organogelator bearing an anthraquinone imide (AQI) group was synthesized and characterized. It self-assembled into chiral gels in acetonitrile at low concentrations, which displayed a combination of electrochromic and chiroptical properties. Upon electrochemical reduction at −700 mV, the gel exhibited new absorption bands at around 820 nm corresponding to π*-π* (SOMO→LUMO) t...

BACKGROUND In the study, the Aras Basin and its environment, one of the most important hydrological basins of Turkey, was evaluated. In survey area, to determine the change of air quality, it was benefited from 23,770 pieces of hourly measured SO2 (Sulfur dioxide) and PM10 (particulate matter) concentration values for the December, January and February of 2009-2010 in which the pollution is at ...

Outdoor air pollution is a serious problem in many developing countries today. This study focuses on monitoring the dynamic changes of air quality effectively in large cities by analyzing the spatiotemporal trends in geo-targeted social media messages with comprehensive big data filtering procedures. We introduce a new social media analytic framework to (1) investigate the relationship between ...

Concentrations of airborne particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than 10 μm (PM10) and five gaseous air pollutants (O3, CO, NO2, SO2 and H2S) were measured over a period of approximately six years (October 1999-June 2004) at five air quality monitoring network stations of King Abulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) in Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia. The main objective of thi...
