Understanding the Evolution of Smoke Mass Extinction Efficiency Using Field Campaign Measurements

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
Aerosol mass extinction efficiency (MEE) is a key aerosol property used to connect aerosol optical properties with aerosol mass concentrations. Using measurements of smoke obtained during the Fire Influence on Regional to Global Environments and Air ...

Decision Tree Model of Smoking Behaviour [PDF]

2019 IEEE SmartWorld, Ubiquitous Intelligence & Computing, Advanced & Trusted Computing, Scalable Computing & Communications, Cloud & Big Data Computing, Internet of People and Smart City Innovation (SmartWorld/SCALCOM/UIC/ATC/CBDCom/IOP/SCI), 2019
Smoking is considered the cause of many health problems. While most smokers wish to quit smoking, many relapse. In order to support an efficient and timely delivery of intervention for those wishing to quit smoking, it is important to be able to model the smoker's behaviour. This research describes the creation of a combined Control Theory and Decision

Non-Invasive Tools to Detect Smoke Contamination in Grapevine Canopies, Berries and Wine: A Remote Sensing and Machine Learning Modeling Approach

Sensors, 2019
Bushfires are becoming more frequent and intensive due to changing climate. Those that occur close to vineyards can cause smoke contamination of grapevines and grapes, which can affect wines, producing smoke-taint.

Wildfire Smoke Classification Based on Synthetic Images and Pixel- and Feature-Level Domain Adaptation

Sensors, 2021
Training a deep learning-based classification model for early wildfire smoke images requires a large amount of rich data. However, due to the episodic nature of fire events, it is difficult to obtain wildfire smoke image data, and most of the samples in ...

Global Dynamics of a Mathematical Model on Smoking [PDF]

ISRN Applied Mathematics, 2014
We derive and analyze a mathematical model of smoking in which the population is divided into four classes: potential smokers, smokers, temporary quitters, and permanent quitters. In this model we study the effect of smokers on temporary quitters.

Smoking Behavior in Asthmatic and Non-Asthmatic Adolescents: The Role of Smoking Models and Personality [PDF]

Substance Use & Misuse, 2008
Despite the particular health risks for asthmatics, recent international studies have reported that tobacco use among asthmatics is similar to, or even higher than, non-asthmatics. This study examined the role of personality and environment in smoking among asthmatic and non-asthmatic adolescents. In 2003 a random sample of 33 schools (first and second

Time-dependent entrainment of smoke presents an observational challenge for assessing aerosol–cloud interactions over the southeast Atlantic Ocean [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2018
The colocation of clouds and smoke over the southeast Atlantic Ocean during the southern African biomass burning season has numerous radiative implications, including microphysical modulation of the clouds if smoke is entrained into the marine ...
