Air Quality – monitoring and modelling
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2012, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Air pollution is a major concern for all nations, regardless of their development. The rapid growth of the industrial sector and urban development have lead to significant quantities of substances and toxic materials, mostly discharged into the atmosphere and having adverse effects both on human health and environment in general. Human society has to recognize that environment has only a limited capacity to process all of its waste without major changes. Each of us is a pollutant but also a victim of pollution. If monitoring of air pollutants is particularly important for assessing the air quality at any moment, by modelling the monitoring data spectacular results are obtained both through the factor analysis and identification of potential pollution mitigation measures. Latest equipment and techniques come and support these problems giving medium and long term solutions.

Preliminary Numerical Studies for the Improvement of the Ventilation System of the Crew Quarters on Board of the International Space Station
The current concept of Crew Quarters (CQ) aboard the ISS has several issues as recorded by NASA and ESA, the most important ones pertaining to the noise levels and the accumulation of CO2. Currently, 13% and 6%, respecti...
Theoretical View of Some Current Global Security Challenges
As the new millennium starts to unfold, we see before us an area of security that has been radically reshaped since the end of the cold war and the end bipolar division of the world. Deepening globalization brings not on...
Influences of surface temperature on a low camber airfoil aerodynamic performances
The current note refers to the comparison between a NACA 2510 airfoil with adiabatic walls and the same airfoil with heated patches. Both suction and pressure sides were divided into two regions covering the leading edge...
Tuning of a Wavelet Filter for Miniature Accelerometers Denoising based Joint Symbolic Dynamics (JSD) Method
The paper exposes a wavelet filtering mechanism related to the noise suppression in the acceleration sensors, with direct application in the strap-down inertial navigation systems. The presented procedure is related to t...
An Interpretation of the “Black Energy” in Universe by Using a Hydro-Dynamical Analogy with Newton Gravity
There are arguments proving that what we see now as “normal energy” (including the equivalent mass-energy) represents only 5% of the total energy of the Universe [1]. The rest is invisible meaning that no widely accepted...
