Characterization of urinary cotinine concentrations among non-smoking adults in smoking and smoke-free homes in the Korean national environmental health survey (KoNEHS) cycle 3 (2015–2017)

BMC Public Health, 2021
Background Although many indoor public places have implemented smoke-free regulations, private homes have remained sources of tobacco smoke pollutants.

A New Design Method of Shield Tunnel Based on the Concept of Minimum Bending Moment

Applied Sciences, 2022
As the soil-resistance coefficient in a soft soil area is small, overlarge bending moment may cause exceeding transverse deformation for the shield tunnel and cause structural diseases and waterproof failure at the longitudinal segment joints.

Role of different mechanisms in pro-inflammatory responses triggered by traffic-derived particulate matter in human bronchiolar epithelial cells

Particle and Fibre Toxicology, 2023
Background Traffic-derived particles are important contributors to the adverse health effects of ambient particulate matter (PM). In Nordic countries, mineral particles from road pavement and diesel exhaust particles (DEP) are important constituents of ...

Noise expresses exponential growth under regime switching [PDF]

, 2009
Consider a given system under regime switching whose solution grows at most polynomially, and suppose that the system is subject to environmental noise in some regimes. Can the regime switching and the environmental noise work together to make the system
