Global Dynamics of a Mathematical Model on Smoking [PDF]

open access: yesISRN 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.

Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation of the Progress of Fire Smoke in Large Space, Building Atria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Conventional fire and smoke control systems use pressure differences across small openings and cracks in physical barriers as a means to restrict smoke propagation from one space to another and water-spray curtains to diminish or eliminate fire and smoke.

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

open access: yesSubstance 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

Accurate, Low Cost PM2.5 Measurements Demonstrate the Large Spatial Variation in Wood Smoke Pollution in Regional Australia and Improve Modeling and Estimates of Health Costs

open access: yes, 2020
The accuracy and utility of low-cost PM2.5 sensors was evaluated for measuring spatial variation and modeling population exposure to PM2.5 pollution from domestic wood-heating (DWH) in Armidale, a regional town in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, to ...

A model for rapid PM2.5 exposure estimates in wildfire conditions using routinely available data: rapidfire v0.1.3 [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development
Urban smoke exposure events from large wildfires have become increasingly common in California and throughout the western United States. The ability to study the impacts of high smoke aerosol exposures from these events on the public is limited by the ...
