Atmospheric stability and plume behaviourAratiSavant
This document discusses various atmospheric factors that influence the dispersion of air pollutants, including:
1. Dilution effect, dispersion, gravitational settling, absorption, and rainout naturally reduce pollutant concentrations.
2. Atmospheric stability is determined by comparing the environmental lapse rate to the adiabatic lapse rate, with stable atmospheres inhibiting dispersion.
3. Other factors like wind, pressure systems, temperature inversions, moisture, and maximum mixing depth also impact pollutant plume behavior and dispersion.
Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor in the air. There are three main types of humidity: absolute, relative, and specific. Absolute humidity is a direct measure of the mass of water in a given volume of air. Relative humidity compares the actual water content of the air to the maximum amount the air can hold at a given temperature. Specific humidity measures the ratio of water vapor to total air mass. Relative humidity is affected by temperature and the amount of water in the air. High humidity can impact climate, plants, animals, human comfort, and more. The most humid areas tend to be near the equator and coastal regions.
The document compares the environmental lapse rate and adiabatic lapse rate. The environmental lapse rate is the rate at which air temperature decreases with elevation, unaffected by water vapor saturation. The adiabatic lapse rate is the rate of temperature decrease when air is either dry or moist. It can decrease faster or slower than the environmental rate depending on stability. The major difference is the environmental lapse rate is unaffected by saturation, while the adiabatic rate takes saturation into account.
This document discusses the factors that determine the stability or instability of the atmosphere. It explains that a stable atmosphere occurs when a rising air parcel cools more rapidly than the surrounding environment, causing it to sink back down. An unstable atmosphere happens when a rising parcel cools more slowly than the environment, allowing it to continue ascending. Specifically, stability depends on how the environmental lapse rate compares to the dry and saturated adiabatic lapse rates of a rising air parcel.
This document provides an overview of basic meteorological processes. It discusses topics like atmospheric thermodynamics, stability, boundary layer development, and how meteorology affects plume dispersion. Specific concepts covered include lapse rate, potential temperature, methods for determining stability, boundary layer growth over time, and how factors like wind speed and thermal boundaries influence pollution dispersion.
- Lapse rate is the decrease of air temperature with increasing elevation in the troposphere. It is influenced by factors like dry adiabatic lapse rate (DALR), wet adiabatic lapse rate (WALR), and environmental lapse rate (ELR).
- The stability of the atmosphere depends on the relationship between the ELR and the DALR/WALR. If ELR > DALR, the atmosphere is unstable. If ELR < DALR, the atmosphere is stable. If ELR = DALR, the atmosphere is neutral.
- Radiosondes are instruments used to measure atmospheric variables like temperature, pressure, humidity at different
Water vapor is the most important gas in the atmosphere and is the source of all condensation and precipitation. The water cycle begins with evaporation and includes condensation, precipitation, and water running off or sinking into the ground. Clouds are classified based on their height and form, with cirrus, cumulus and stratus being the main cloud types located in the high, middle and low levels of the atmosphere respectively. For precipitation to form, cloud droplets must grow substantially through processes like collision-coalescence in warm clouds and the Bergeron process in cold clouds. The type of precipitation reaching the surface depends on the temperature profile in the lower atmosphere.

Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force on an object submerged in a fluid equals the weight of the fluid displaced, determining whether it sinks or floats based on relative densities.
There are several types of plumes classified based on the environmental lapse rate (ELR) and adiabatic lapse rate (ALR):
1. Coning plume occurs under sub-adiabatic conditions (ELR < ALR) or with high winds, taking on a cone-like structure with limited vertical mixing.
2. Fanning plume occurs under inversion conditions (negative ELR), causing the plume to disperse horizontally rather than rising.
3. Looping plume occurs in super adiabatic environments (ELR > ALR), leading to an unstable atmosphere and the plume taking on a wavy, looping form.

Relative humidity sensors are commonly used to measure atmospheric humidity. They work by measuring the ratio of actual water vapor pressure to the saturation vapor pressure at a given temperature. Ceramic, semiconductor, and polymer materials are often used as the sensing elements in relative humidity sensors. Ceramic sensors typically function through the Grotthuss mechanism, where adsorbed water layers allow protons to tunnel between water molecules. Capacitive and resistive relative humidity sensors also exist, where the capacitance or resistance of a hygroscopic material changes with varying humidity levels. Other humidity measurement techniques include psychrometers, chilled mirror optical sensors, and radiation absorption hygrometers. Humidity sensors have applications in fields like industrial processes, agriculture, weather monitoring
Relative humidity is defined as the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor in an air-water mixture to the equilibrium vapor pressure of water at a given temperature. It can be measured using various devices, including resistive, capacitive, crystal, thermal, gravimetric, and optical hygrometers. Resistive hygrometers measure changes in the electrical resistance of moisture-absorbing materials as humidity varies. Capacitive hygrometers detect changes in capacitance of a polymer film. Crystal hygrometers measure changes in mass of a hygroscopic crystal as it absorbs water from the air.

Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor in the air. It is measured by relative humidity and dew point temperature. Condensation occurs when warm, moist air rises and cools, causing water vapor to condense into liquid water droplets. The main types of precipitation are rain, snow, sleet, hail, and drizzle, which occur via different meteorological processes like convection, orographic lifting, and frontal lifting. Thunderstorms occur when upward motion within clouds causes water droplets to collide and become electrified.

There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
Our backs are like superheroes, holding us up and helping us move around. But sometimes, even superheroes can get hurt. That’s where slip discs come in.
2. PHYSICS
► DENSITY- MASS DIVIDED BY VOLUME
► IT IS DEFINED BY NUMBER OF PARTICLES IN A PLACE IN
RELATION TO ITS AREA
► DENSITY= MASS/VOLUME , S.I. UNIT IS KG/M3
► S.I. UNIT INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM OF UNITS IS A SPECIFIC
METHOD OF EXPRESSING THE MAGNITUDE OF A
QUANTITY, FOR EXAMPLE, METER IS THE SI UNIT OF
DISPLACEMENT (NOT CENTIMETER NEITHER INCHES)
3.
4. BUOYANCY
Buoyancy is an upward force exerted by a fluid that
opposes the weight of an immersed object
Types
● Positive- buoyancy force is greater
● Neutral- b=g
● Negative- gravitational force is greater
5. Hydrometer
● It is an instrument used for measuring
the specific density of a fluid.
● It is based on buoyancy
● A type of hydrometer used to test the
purity of milk is called as Lactometer
● Specific gravity of milk is 1.028- 1.030
6. Thermometers
A thermometer measures the temperature or a temperature gradient
It has two elements- Temperature sensor and Measuring scale
Types
● Ordinary thermometer
● Dry and wet thermometer
● Maximum and minimum thermometer
● Clinicians thermometer
Terrestrial- Records ground heat
Solar- Radiant heat
Global- Radiant heat in factories
Kata- Cooling power of the air (Alcohol based)
7. Calorie, a unit of energy or heat variously defined. The calorie was originally
defined as the amount of heat required at a pressure of 1 standard atmosphere to
raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1° Celsius.
°F = (°C * 9/5) + 32 °C
The basic unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI) is the
Kelvin. It has the symbol K. For everyday applications, it is often convenient to
use the Celsius scale
Temperature is the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object
8. Latent Heat- When a material
in liquid state is given energy,
it changes its phase from
liquid to vapour the energy
absorbed in this process is
called heat of vaporization.
Which means temperature of
boiling water and hot steam
remains same whereas the
conversion from water to
vapour requires more heat
and this occurs because that
heat is absorbed in the
process of conversion of state
9. Humidity
● Humidity is a quantity representing the amount of
water vapour in the atmosphere or in a gas.
● Absolute humidity is the measure of water vapour
(moisture) in the air, regardless of temperature
● Relative humidity is the ratio of the absolute humidity
to the saturation point for a given temperature and
pressure. It is expressed as a percentage
R.H. = Absolute humidity/saturated vapour pressure x100
10. Pressure
● Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to
the surface of an object per unit area over
which that force is distributed
● It is expressed as force per unit area: P=F/A
● It is measured by the instrument called
barometer
11. Cyclonic Wind
When the wind swirls counterclockwise in the
northern hemisphere or clockwise in the southern
hemisphere, it is called cyclonic flow. An example
of cyclonic flow is the flow around a low pressure
area while an example of anticyclonic flow is the
flow around a high pressure area.
12. Sound
● Vibrations that travel through the air or another medium
and can be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ear
● Travels in the form of waves
● Requires a medium to travel
● (no sound in vacuum)
● Human ears can hear 20-20,000 Hz of sound
● Speed of sound is 340 m/s
13. Light
● Light is a transverse, electromagnetic wave that can
be seen by the typical human eye
● Ultraviolet and infrared waves cannot be seen by
human eyes
14. Reflection
● Reflection of light is when light bounces off an object. If the surface is smooth and shiny, like glass,
water or polished metal, the light will reflect at the same angle as it hit the surface.
15. Refraction
● Refraction is the bending of light (it also happens with sound, water and other waves)
as it passes from one transparent substance into another
16. Eye defects
The vision becomes blurred due to the refractive defects of
the eye. There are mainly three common
refractive defects of vision. These are
Myopia or nearsightedness
Hypermetropia or far-sightedness
Presbyopia. These defects can be corrected by the
use of suitable spherical lenses
20. Chemistry
HARD WATER IS WATER THAT HAS HIGH MINERAL CONTENT HARD WATER IS FORMED
WHEN WATER GOES THROUGH DEPOSITS OF LIMESTONE, CHALK OR GYPSUM[1]
WHICH ARE
LARGELY MADE UP
OF CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM CARBONATES, BICARBONATES AND SULFATES
21. Organic and inorganic compounds
Organic matter, organic material, or natural organic matter refers to the large source
of carbon-based compounds found within natural and engineered, terrestrial and aquatic
environments. It is matter composed of organic compounds that have come from the remains
of organisms such as plants and animals and their waste products in the environment
Organic matter can be disinfected with ozone-initiated radical reactions. The ozone (three
oxygens) has very strong oxidation characteristics. It can form hydroxyl radicals (OH) when it
decomposes, which will react with the organic matter to shut down the problem of biofouling
INORGANIC MATTER IS MATTER WHICH IS NOT DERIVED FROM LIVING ORGANISMS AND
CONTAINS NO ORGANICALLY PRODUCED CARBON. IT INCLUDES ROCKS, MINERALS AND
METAL
22. OXIDATION AND REDUCTION
WHEN ANY ELEMENT COMBINES WITH OXYGEN (THE GAS WHICH WE BREATH) THE PROCESS
IS OXIDATION
OXIDATION AND REDUCTION IN TERMS OF OXYGEN TRANSFER
DEFINITIONS
• OXIDATION IS GAIN OF OXYGEN.
• REDUCTION IS LOSS OF OXYGEN
SOME EXAMPLES
MAGNESIUM RIBBON BURNS IN AIR DUE TO OXIDATION
IRON IN PRESENCE OF MOISTURE UNDERGOES CORROSION (RUST)
A LAYER OF OXIDE FORMED ON ALUMINUM PROTECTS IT FROM CORROSION
ON BURNING (OXIDATION) ORGANIC COMPOUNDS, CARBON DIOXIDE IS RELEASED ALONG WITH
HEAT
23. Common compounds
CRESOL IN DISINFECTION, TO KILL
GERMS
ALUM PURIFICATION OF DRINKING WATER
CHLORINE GAS TO KILL GERMS IN WATER
SODIUM ARSENIC TO BAIT HOUSEFLY
