Throughout South Asia biomass is commonly used as a fuel source for cooking and heating homes. The smoke from domestic use of these fuels is expected to be a major source of atmospheric particulate matter in the region and needs to be characterized for input in regional source apportionment models...
Major psychotic disorders are one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, having severe impacts on the people who suffer from the conditions, their families and society. There is evidence that if these conditions are identified and treated early, the prognosis is improved. The purpose of this dissertation study is...
An atmospheric transport model has been used to explore the relationship between source emissions and ambient air quality for individual particle phase organic compounds present in primary aerosol source emissions. An inventory of fine particulate organic compound emissions was assembled for the Los Angeles area in the year 1982. Sources...
Field measurements of the n-alkanes present in fine atomospheric aerosols show a predominance of odd carbon numbered higher molecular weight homologues (C27–C33) that is characteristic of plant waxes. Utilizing a local leaf wax n-alkane profile in conjunction with an air quality model, it is estimated that, at most, 0.2–1.0 µg...
A post-failure investigation of a highway embankment constructed
over organic and sensitive subsoils was made with a series
of field vane tests. The results indicated that the embankment was
quite stable, and, therefore, the reliabilities of both the Φ = 0 slip-circle analysis and the field vane results seemed to...
This technical bulletin contains a calculation of the weighted average of mean scores from published studies involving college students. The measure used in these studies was the Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale (AMAS). Only reports of the AMAS’ full scale scores were examined. The weighted average for the 17 studies (N...
