The fast pace in the development of indoor sensors and communication technologies is allowing a great amount of sensor data to be utilized in various areas of indoor air applications, such as estimating indoor airflow patterns.
The technique has been widely utilized in many areas of biotechnological processes such as in the production of enzymes and antibiotics (de-Coninck et al. 2000).
Soil reinforcement using geocells has been utilized in many areas of geotechnical engineering.
Among nanomaterials, carbon nanotube (CNT) that was first identified by Iijima Sumio in 1991 displays outstanding electrical, optical and mechanical properties and has been utilized in wide areas of engineering and chemistry fields.
Interactive genetic algorithm can communicate with users and consequently be affected by user feeling and is utilized in the areas of artistry and design (Nakanishi 1996a,[b]; Ohsaki et al. 1998; Takagi 1998).
Micromixers have been commonly utilized in the areas of biotechnical engineering, analytical chemistry, medical industry, and high-throughput synthesis because biological processes generally involve complicated chemical reactions that require useful reactant mixing for initiation.
These instruments are typically operated by regulatory agencies (e.g. United States Environmental Protection Agency) and are usually utilized in populated areas or areas of known air quality problems; these factors limit their geographic coverage for ash fallout monitoring and sample collection.
The best spatial sampling scheme is selected by applying a new method, in which a regular hexagonal gridding pattern and the Thiessen polygon approach are respectively utilized in sub-areas of high and low monitoring priorities.
Similar studies showed that only 22% of assigned spectrum is utilized in urban areas and less than 3% in rural areas [2].
