Cohort profile: the Taiwan Initiative for Geriatric Epidemiological Research - a prospective cohort study on cognition

The Taiwan Initiative for Geriatric Epidemiological Research (TIGER) was founded in 2011 to elucidate the interrelationships among various predictors of global and domain-specific cognitive impairment, with the aim of identifying older adul...

An Integrated Decision Support Model for Evaluating Public Transport Quality

Big cities suffer from serious complex problems such as air pollution, congestion, and traffic accidents. Developing public transport quality in such cities is considered an efficient remedy to obviate these critical issues. This paper aims...

Low-carbon urban transportation: Optimizing mechanical systems for sustainable electric bus and BRT deployment in Kampala

Kampala faces increasing congestion, air pollution, and dependence on fossil fuels, driven by widespread reliance on diesel minibuses and motorcycle taxis. Existing models—KAMPALA-TIMES, KLAP-TIMES, and GKMA-TIMES–CGE—show strong potential ...

Transportation Engineering Basics

Transportation Engineering Basics shows students how to use classroom knowledge to solve real-life transportation and traffic engineering problems. This comprehensive labbook addresses congestion, air pollution, transit, financing, politics...

Air pollution mapping and variability over five European cities

Mapping urban pollution is essential for assessing population exposure and addressing associated health impacts. High urban concentrations are due to the proximity of sources such as traffic or residential heating, and to urban density with...

Evaluating the impact of urban traffic patterns on air pollution emissions in Dublin: a regression model using google project air view data and traffic data

Abstract Air pollution is a significant and pressing environmental and public health concern in urban areas, primarily driven by road transport. By gaining a deeper understanding of how traffic dynamics influence air pollution, policymakers...

Estimating the number of cardio-pulmonary events potentially averted by fine particulate matter air quality index activity guidelines

Background: Fine particulate matter 100 for PM2.5) for 3 groups (healthy adults, ASCVD and pulmonary disease patients) in the US during 2022. The theoretical number of adverse events potentially prevented per county was estimated each day a...

A systematic review of the physical and chemical characteristics of pollutants from biomass burning and combustion of fossil fuels and health effects in Brazil

The aim of this study was to carry out a review of scientific literature published in Brazil between 2000 and 2009 on the characteristics of air pollutants from different emission sources, especially particulate matter (PM) and its effects ...

Domestic Organic Rankine Cycle-Based Cogeneration Systems as a Way to Reduce Dust Emissions in Municipal Heating

Environmental issues are nowadays of great importance. In particular air and water quality should be kept at as high levels as possible. Energy conversion systems and devices which are applied for converting the chemical energy contained in...
