ASSESSMENT OF THE REDUCTION METHODS USED TO DEVELOP CHEMICAL SCHEMES: BUILDING OF A NEW CHEMICAL SCHEME FOR VOC OXIDATION SUITED TO THREE-DIMENSIONAL MULTISCALE HOX-NOX-VOC CHEMISTRY SIMULATIONS

Assessment of the reduction methods used to develop chemical schemes: building of a new chemical scheme for VOC oxidation suited to three-dimensional multiscale HOx-NOx-VOC chemistry simulations

The objective of this work was to develop and assess an automatic procedure to generate reduced chemical schemes for the atmospheric photooxidation of volatile organic carbon (VOC) compounds.The procedure is based on (i) the development of a tool for writing the fully explicit schemes for VOC oxidation (see companion paper Aumont et al., 2005), (ii

Critical Success Factors in Reward-Based Crowdfunding:

Prior research has revealed critical success factors in reward-based crowdfunding, but there are some remaining issues: (1) the disparity between research findings and practice, (2) the changing crowdfunding market environment, and (3) the lack of studies on Japanese crowdfunding platforms.To address these issues, we developed hypotheses on the Hum

Estimation of Urine Flow Velocity Using Millimeter-Wave FMCW Radar

This study investigated the feasibility of remotely estimating the urinary flow velocity of a human subject with high accuracy using millimeter-wave radar.Uroflowmetry is a measurement that involves the speed and volume of voided urine to diagnose benign prostatic hyperplasia or bladder abnormalities.Traditionally, the urine velocity during urinati
