Since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, several researchers worldwide have suggested chronic exposure to air pollutants viz. PM2.5, NO2, and O3 as one influencing factors for increased rate fatality. However, most these studies lacked a comprehensive international outlook. A strong correlation on regional scale might require further investigations evaluate transboundary validity. Therefore, cu...

Nitrated fatty acids (NO2-FAs) are a newly discovered class of biologically active compounds with distinct biochemical features that induce physiologically beneficial alterations in transcriptional regulatory protein function, leading to variety modulatory and protective actions. The most common NO2-FAs identified vivo so far nitro oleic acid (NO2-OA), linoleic (NO2-LA) its structural isomer ni...

the effects of different concentrations of cdcl2 and alcl3 on nh4+ and no2? oxidation in an aqueous system were investigated. alcl3 had no effect on nh4+ removal and its oxidation to no2?, whereas no2? disappearance was greatly enhanced by alcl3. in contrast, cdcl2 delayed removal of nh4+ and its subsequent oxidation to no2? and also decreased the rate of no2? disappearance. when compared to th...

In this paper we compare the changes in farm incomes in EU regions and US States between1989 and 2002. The aim of this comparative analysis is highlight the patterns of convergence or divergence and how they differ over time. We use two recent analytical instruments: non-stationary panel analysis and dynamic distribution analysis. Both tools overcome the problems involved in using standard cros...

Recently quantum mechanical (QM) calculations on a single Si-PETN (silicon-pentaerythritol tetranitrate) molecule were used to explain its colossal sensitivity observed experimentally in terms of a unique Liu carbon-silyl nitro-ester rearrangement (R3Si-CH2-O-R2→ R3Si-O-CH2-R2). In this paper we expanded the study of Si-PETN from a single molecule to a bulk system by extending the ReaxFF reacti...

Land-use regression (LUR) has emerged as a promising technique for air pollution modeling to obtain the spatial distribution of pollutants epidemiological studies. LUR uses traffic, geographic, and monitoring data develop models then predict concentration in same area. To identify nitrogen dioxide (NO2), benzene, toluene, m-p-xylene, we developed Pohang City, one largest industrialized areas Ko...
