Plant isoprene emissions have been modelled assuming independent controls by light, temperature and atmospheric [CO2]. However, the isoprene emission rate is ultimately controlled by the pool size of its immediate substrate, dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMADP), and isoprene synthase activity, implying that the environmental controls might interact. In addition, acclimation to growth [CO2] can shi...

The integration of renewable wind and pumped storage with thermal power generation allows for dispatch of wind energy by generation companies (GENCOs) interested in participation in energy and ancillary services markets. However, to realize the maximum economic profit, optimal coordination and accounting for reduction in cost for environmental emission is necessary. The goal of this study is to...

Vehicle tailpipe emissions are major sources of air pollution and greenhouse gases. In addition to the ongoing efforts on emissions reduction, we believe there is a need to explore an innovating approach in which drivers routing decisions are influenced to minimize emissions and fuel consumption. In order to evaluate such transportation systems, we develop environmental traffic assignment model...

Methanol is found throughout the troposphere, with average concentrations second only to methane among atmospheric hydrocarbons. Proposed global methanol budgets are highly uncertain, but all agree that at least 60% of the total source arises from the terrestrial biosphere and primary emissions from plants. However, the magnitude of these emissions is also highly uncertain, and the environmenta...

introduction earth's atmosphere plays an important role in preventing the temperature decrease. one of the principal factors of environmental pollution and the main source of earth's climate and biodiversity changes is greenhouse gas emissions from various sources, particularly agricultural sector. agriculture sector is considered as a major source of greenhouse gas sequestration, including me...

the gaseous composition of the earth's atmosphere is changing at an accelerated rate because of the influence of human activities. different factors can cause increasing air contamination such as co2. understanding factors affecting atmosphere gaseous change is important for management and reducing air contaminants. the aim of this paper is to investigate factors affecting on co2 emission ...
