Metal-based fuel-borne catalysts (FBCs) have been used with diesel fuels to effectively reduce soot and diesel particulate matter (DPM) emissions from both on-road and off-road applications. However, there is a lack of detailed investigations on the potential changes in the properties of...

Mediterranean countries generate large amounts of olive oil byproducts mainly OMWW (olive mill wastewater) and EOSW (exhausted olive solid waste). Although solid residues have various valorization strategies, there is no economically viable solution for the OMWW disposal. This study aims to...

Summary This paper looks at the human health impacts from urban air pollution in India. Such pollution is especially harmful to poor people, so the co-benefits from global climate change policies in terms of reduced local air pollution can have positive equity impacts. Health impacts (mortality...

The Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesises an inverse U-shaped relationship between a measure of environmental pollution and per capita income levels. In this study, we apply non-parametric estimation of local polynomial regression (local quadratic fitting) to allow more flexibility in...

Many urban regions in the U.S. are planning to build extensive networks of new high-occupancy 3ehicle (HOV) freeway lanes. Past modelling efforts are reviewed and travel demand simulations by the authors are used to demonstrate that new HOV lanes may increase travel (vehicle-miles) and increase...
