As a general rule, emission factors and emission inventories are fundamental tools for air quality management. Emission estimates are important for developing emission control strategies, determining applicability of permitting and control programs, evaluating the feasibility and the effects of appropriate mitigation strategies, and a number of other related applications by different users, inc...

This review focuses on the factors that determine the molecular weight of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), an aliphatic polyester synthesized by bacteria for carbon and energy storage. PHA is a polymer with good thermoplastic, biodegradable, biocompatible and renewable properties. Therefore, it has attracted considerable attention as an environmentally friendly and biomedical material. Because the m...

In the context of Free Probability Theory, we study two different constructions that provide new examples of factors of type II1 with prescribed fundamental group. First we investigate state-preserving group actions on the almost periodic free Araki-Woods factors satisfying both a condition of mixing and a condition of free malleability in the sense of Popa. Typical examples are given by the fr...

is of the same order in each case as that of any physical inherited character. The correlation between father or mother and child for phthisis is r=0-5, the same as for eye colour, &c., and for members of the same sibship (that is brother and sister), it is about 04 in each case. These refer to completed life histories, but the same is found amongst children. The following data bearing on this ...

The distribution of parasites in hosts is typically aggregated: a few hosts harbour many parasites, while the remainder of hosts are virtually parasite free. The origin of this almost universal pattern is central to our understanding of host-parasite interactions; it affects many facets of their ecology and evolution. Despite this, the standard statistical framework used to characterize parasit...

Strangeness nuclear physics has reached a new era, which requires elevation of phenomenological analyses of hypernuclear phenomena to a deeper understanding of the fundamental interactions from QCD viewpoint. Recent coordinated efforts in experimental and theoretical researches revealed several interesting features of hyperon-nucleon and hyperon-hyperon interactions. For instance, it is establi...

We present here a shorter version of the proof of our earlier work, showing that the von Neumann factor associated with the group Z(2)SL(2,Z) has trivial fundamental group.

At the present time, as is evidenced by the research being done on bone healing, there is apparently a renewed interest in the causes of failure of broken bones to unite. It is always well at such a time to go back to the fundamentals of the subject being investigated to be sure that we have not forgotten our essential physiological processes. It might be pertinent, at the beginning, to inquire...

Stock return is usually considered to be affected by firm’s financial ratios as well as economic variables. Fundamental method assume that stock returns is not solely related to the stock market. Most result come from the company condition , industry situation and whole economy. In this paper, this relationship between stock return and fundamentals is studied using the data for 22 pharmaceutica...
