The document discusses low-cost air quality monitoring by citizens and community groups. It outlines needs such as measuring particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and other pollutants using easy to use and mobile sensors. It then summarizes several current projects using commercial low-cost sensors or developing new sensor technologies. These include mobile monitoring efforts, community group projects, and apps to involve citizens in collecting air quality data. The document calls for further development and collaboration between government, universities and community groups on low-cost air quality sensing.
EPA’s scientists and engineers are pushing the scientific frontiers in low-cost and portable air sensor monitoring that is engaging communities to learn about their air quality. At the same time, they are inspiring young people to learn what science can do to protect the air we breathe. See what they have accomplished over the last five years (2012-2016).
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency launched an air measurement study in Kansas City, KS, in October 2017 to give residents in three neighborhoods more information on air pollution emitted from nearby highways, railways and industry.
For one year, researchers are collecting data from new measurement technology developed in the lab and working with residents on a citizen science project.

Vehicle armoring constructed in such a way as to ensure that a projectile following a linear or angled path shall not enter the vehicle’s interior without contacting the armor material. In addition to this, the possibility of a projectile entering the vehicle’s interior due to a ricochet from the armor shall also be minimized.
Com o avanço da indústria de semicondutores e de comunicações, passou a ser cada vez mais importante que um engenheiro eletricista tenha um bom conhecimento de microeletrônica. Fundamentos de Microeletrônica busca atender à necessidade de um texto que aborde a microeletrônica a partir de uma perspectiva moderna e intuitiva. Os tópicos, a ordem em que aparecem, a profundidade e a extensão com que são tratados foram pensados para propiciar uma exposição eficiente dos princípios de análise e síntese que serão úteis para os estudantes quando ingressarem no mercado de trabalho ou em cursos de pós-graduação.
Uma característica importante deste livro é a abordagem orientada à síntese ou ao projeto. Em vez de tirar um circuito da gaveta e tentar analisá-lo, o caminho é preparado enunciando-se um problema com o qual nos deparamos na vida real (por exemplo, como projetar um carregador de bateria de telefone celular). Em seguida, obtém-se uma solução com o emprego de princípios básicos; desta forma, tanto as falhas como os acertos do processo são apresentados. Quando finalmente chegarmos à solução definitiva, o estudante terá visto o exato papel de cada componente, assim como a sequência lógica de raciocínio que norteia o projeto do circuito.

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF SHRIMP HATCHERYKartik Mondal
Shrimp is a valuable aquatic food resources high In protein and command good export markets. The tiger shrimp P.indicus and p.merguiensis are important candidate or aquafarming.The seed requirement presently meet from the wild and insufficient to meet growing demand. Hence there is a good potential for hatchery production of shrimp seed.
The success of a shrimp hatchery depend on:
1.The choice of suitable site
2.Effectiveness and efficiency of the hatchery design
3.Experience of hatchery technicians
4.Efficiency of operational management.

Making The Invisible Visible: Visualising Air Quality In An Understandable WayYe Lin
The InstaNO2 mobile app proposed a photo-based air quality visual representation to visualize air quality data. The app allowed people to explore the current NO2 level from places they were via an existing habitual behaviour, taking photos.
Rather than isolated numbers, photographs visualized the difference between numbers and enabled participants see the severity of air pollution visually, thus it made the air quality data on top of photos understandable.

ONLINE SCALABLE SVM ENSEMBLE LEARNING METHOD (OSSELM) FOR SPATIO-TEMPORAL AIR...IJDKP
Environmental air pollution studies fail to consider the fact that air pollution is a spatio-temporal problem.
The volume and complexity of the data have created the need to explore various machine learning models,
however, those models have advantages and disadvantages when applied to regional air pollution analysis,
furthermore, most environmental problems are global distribution problems. This research addressed
spatio-temporal problem using decentralized computational technique named Online Scalable SVM
Ensemble Learning Method (OSSELM). Evaluation criteria for computational air pollution analysis
includes: accuracy, real time & prediction, spatio-temporal and decentralised analysis, we assert that these
criteria can be improved using the proposed OSSELM. Special consideration is given to distributed
ensemble to resolve spatio-temporal data collection problem (i.e. the data collected from multiple
monitoring stations dispersed over a geographical location). Moreover, the experimental results
demonstrated that the proposed OSSELM produced impressive results compare to SVM ensemble for air
pollution analysis in Auckland region.
