These results highlight the role of amphibians as a sensitive group that is responsive to environmental pollution.
Energy consumption and pollution are ripe for reduction with responsive technology.
Aiming at solving difficulties in flocculation of this sort of combined pollution, a novel pH- and temperature-responsive biomass-based flocculant, carboxymethyl chitosan-graft-poly N-isoproyl achitosan-graft-poly N-isoproylammonium chitosan-graft-poly N-isoproylh two responsive switchitosan-graft-poly N-isoproyltemperature (LCST) and isoelectric point (IEP)], was designed and synthesized.
This suggests that consumer spending on pollution-generating transportation fuel was more responsive to changing economic conditions in the past, which is reflected by the relatively strong relationship between unemployment and COH in the 1970s.
Resilient design of jacketed insulators and over-insulation due to anthropogenic and coastal salt pollution in the area, along with a responsive tephra cleaning program for substations most likely contributed to mitigating tephra contamination and subsequent disruption.
These associations were largest in the children who were skin-test positive to fungal and/or cat antigens, which supports our a priori hypothesis that asthmatic children with atopy would be most responsive to daily changes in ambient air pollution.
To examine the association between exposure to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) and hospital readmission for asthma or bronchodilator-responsive wheezing.
Metal-responsive (MR) genes and regulatory sequences are being isolated, characterized, and assayed for differential gene expression in response to heavy metal mixture pollution in the AR-CGSS.
With comprehensive impacts from urban-rural land-uses, the time-interleaved urban and agricultural NPS pollution emissions and more abundant pollution accumulation both led to a decrease in the responsive time and an increase in the frequency of peak pollution concentration values even during the dry season.
Thus, the question arises whether unwittingly, by changing the conditions for bacteria in hospitals (antibiotic stress) and environment (pollution), we are generating selective conditions which promote the success of self-transferable and responsive GEIs.
In the study we report here, we evaluated a) whether exposure to ambient pollution is associated with increased respiratory symptoms and b) whether children with atopy are more responsive to increased daily levels of air pollutants.
