This dissertation examined the association between HAP and respiratory health, both using simple proxy metrics, such as cooking fuel types, and actual measurements, such as household and personal measures of PM2.5 and BC. We found that simple proxy metrics can predict a portion of HAP levels, and associations with respiratory...
The interface electrochemical and chemical mechanism of the low alloy steel in a 3.5% NaCl solution containing the Ce3+-based inhibitor was investigated by the electrochemical techniques in conjunction with the surface analysis technologies. It was shown that the Ce(3+-)based inhibitor was an anodic inhibitor with more than 90.0% inhibitory efficiency....
The paper devises an integrated ecological–economics–social model to assess the implementation of ecosystem-based fisheries management in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE) in the South China Sea (SCS). In particular, this paper presents the development of an integrated model, which links a regional economics social accounting matrix (SAM) model to an ecological...
The paper puts forward a model of the Pearl River Delta (PRD) fishery in the South China Sea that integrates the ecological, social and economic costs and benefits of fisheries activities in a multidisciplinary framework. In particular, In particular, we developed integrated model by linking a regional Social Accounting Matrix...
The coastal ecosystem of the Pearl River Estuary (PRE) has been overfished and received a high level of
combined pollution in the past decades. The fisheries stock assessments have shown a declining
population and have led to a number of management measures, including fishing moratorium. This study
evaluated the effect...
