CAN THE MERPAS PASSIVE AIR SAMPLER DISCRIMINATE LANDSCAPE, SEASONAL, AND ELEVATION EFFECTS ON ATMOSPHERIC MERCURY? A FEASIBILITY STUDY IN MISSISSIPPI, USA

Accurately measuring gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) concentrations Placemats in the atmosphere is important to understand its sources, cycling, distribution, and temporal trends.The MerPAS passive air sampler from Tekran Inc.(Toronto, ON, Canada) captures GEM on sulfur-impregnated activated carbon after it passes through a Radeillo diffusive barri

The paper presents the treatment of atrazine-contaminated wastewater by ozonation followed by an anaerobic process using Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) reactor.The experiment was performed with 100 ppb synthetic solutions of atrazine prepared in ultra-pure water.The corresponding initial Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) is 226 mg.L-1.The initia

The work distinguishes between two meanings of the term legal system: hierarchical (factual or vertical) and scientific.The principles on which both meanings are based are coherency, i.e., legitimacy, completeness, distinctiveness and self-reference (autopoiesis) of law.These principles designate the states YLANG YLANG EXTRA or real features of a l

ObjectiveTo explore the potential correlation between gallstone disease (GSD) prevalence and circadian syndrome rail set (CircS).MethodsThe cross-sectional research utilized data spanning 2017 to March 2020, sourced from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).The GSD data were collected via questionnaires, with appropriate sa

Refueling decisions of liner ships are facing challenges from both fuel price fluctuations and carbon emission constraints.This paper proposes a multistage stochastic programming model to tackle the refueling problem for dual-fuel ships under carbon intensity indicator (CII) rating limit and carbon tax costs.The model also takes into account variou
