BACKGROUND Sources of air pollution in developing country cities include transportation and industrial pollution, biomass and coal fuel use, and resuspended dust from unpaved roads. OBJECTIVES Our goal was to understand within-neighborhood spatial variability of particulate matter (PM) in communities of varying socioeconomic status (SES) in Accra, Ghana, and to quantify the effects of nearby ...

Since 1982, “automated intelligence microscopy” (AIM) has been refined and adapted to perform the portion of the urinalysis profile traditionally done by a microscope. AIM and analytical subsystems measuring relative density and performing dipstick chemistry compose the main elements of “The Yellow IRIS” urinalysis workstation, an attended system for automationand standardizationof routineurina...

This article focuses on the mathematical modeling techniques applied to the particulate processes in biological sciences particularly Immunology. T-cell activation is studied with respect to their surface protein (CD3) concentration that is described in-terms of two particulate processes, growth and birth processes. The production of new proteins and change in their concentrations (on cells) ha...

One of the critical issues for the US space program is fire safety of the space station and future launch velucles. A detailed understanding of the scattering signatures of particulate is essential for the development of a false alarm free f i e detection system This paper describes advanced optical htrumentation developed and applied for 6re detection. The system is being designed to determine...

The negative effects of indoor air quality cause a decrease in the working efficiency people, and health problems. For this reason, monitoring places where students spend time such as canteen, cafeteria library is important terms life. Particulate matter leading source pollutants affecting quality. purpose, student canteens public university located Marmara Region, Turkey was examined temperatu...

foliar surface of plants is continuously exposed to the surrounding atmosphere and is, therefore, the main receptor of particulate pollutants. this physical trait can be used to determine the level of particulate pollution in the surroundings, as well as the ability of individual plant species to intercept and mitigate particulate pollutants. in the present study, leaf cuticle characters of fou...
