Associations of Outdoor Air Pollution With Incidence of Cancers Other Than Lung Cancer in a Large US Prospective Cohort

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Associations between outdoor air pollution and cancers other than lung cancer remain unclear, particularly in the context of tobacco use. Here, the authors assessed possible links between ambient air pollutant exposure and incidence of 20 non‐lung cancers among adults followed over a 25‐year period in the United States.

High‐Throughput Geocoding to Assess Short‐Term Air Pollution in Correlation With Mortality in a French Cancer Patient Cohort

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Although chronic air pollution exposure is linked to lung cancer mortality, the short‐term effects of fluctuating air quality on overall cancer mortality remain uncertain. Here, the authors applied geomatics and machine‐learning models to retrospectively examine possible associations between 31‐day pollution exposure and mortality in a French cancer ...

Computational modelling of diesel engine smoke emission. [PDF]

, 1995
This thesis is addressed to the problem of predicting the emission of exhaust smoke from the diesel engine. A simulation program based on a zonal phenomenological combustion model has been developed, permitting analysis of soot modelling techniques ...

Variable Rate Irrigation: A Long‐Term Simulated and Field Data Analyses of Irrigation Practices, Field Variability, Economic Feasibility and Profitability

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐term economic analyses of variable rate irrigation (VRI) strategies were performed compared with uniform irrigation management (UIM) in a reference production field using the AquaCrop model. Five strategies to trigger irrigation were as follows: (Field Capacity‐VRI, Driest Soil Trigger‐VRI, Water Mining‐VRI, Conventional Uniform ...

Single iron redox sites boost Methanol-SCR at low temperature

Nature Communications
Selective catalytic reduction of NOx to N2 by methanol as a reducing agent presents a prospective solution for the removal of NOx from the exhaust of methanol engines and the coal-fired power plant, but it confronts the problem of insufficient deNOx ...

The Non‐Professional Virtues of the Hospice Volunteer

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Volunteers have long played a significant role in hospice care. Much of the care volunteers provide consists of weekly hour‐long in‐home visits. Home‐visiting hospice volunteers are not professionals, nor are they strangers or intimates. Hospice volunteers will not typically face moral dilemmas, nor be called upon to make dramatic decisions ...
