Correlations reveal that topography is the predominant factor affecting the spatial pattern of AOD, as compared to the urban land use and vegetation.
Site geology was not the predominant factor affecting the removal efficiency, but the length of the flow path from the sea to the wells and the hydraulic retention time appear to be most significant.
The results obtained pointed out that poloxamer 188 concentration in the formulation was the predominant factor affecting the dissolution release, whereas the drug loading was driven by the carrier concentration added.
It was concluded that the predominant factor affecting the specific fuel consumption was fuel-delivery angle θ, the approximate optimal value of which, in this specific case, was 3 5° in advance of that for engine fuelled by pure diesel oil.
