Segment-based Volatile Organic Compound Emission Characteristics from Different Types of Coking Plants in China by Rumei Li, Yulong Yan, Lin Peng, Yinghui Li, Zhuocheng Liu, Zhanchun Fan, Huanfeng Li, Yang Xu, Cheng Wang, Dongmei Hu, Zhiyong Li

“…Abstract The source profiles, emission factors, and chemical reactivity of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) generated by two typical coking plants, one employing a non-recovery process and the other, a mechanical process, in Shanxi Province, a major coking hub in China, were determined for different segments of coke production during normal operations. The primary components in the stack flue gas were ethylene, 1-butene, benzene, acetylene, and 2,2-dimethylbutane for the non-recovery plant and styrene, benzene, and ethylene for the mechanical plant. …”

Pathways Through Which Green Exposure Type Influences Cardiovascular Diseases Mortality in Shanghai, China by Jianzhong HUANG, Yanting XU, Lan WANG, Zhouqian HE

“…Building density, in particular, can indirectly influence the influence of green exposure on CVDs mortality by modulating physical activity levels as a mediating factor.ConclusionThis research offers an in-depth analysis of the complex mechanisms by which various types of green exposure influence CVDs mortality, with a particular focus on the key mediating role of physical activity. Findings suggest that increasing street greenery, vegetation coverage, and per capita park area can significantly enhance residents’ physical activity levels, which in turn helps lower CVDs mortality. …”

Modelling and Simulation of Perturb and Observe MPPT Algorithm Based on The PI Controller for Photovoltaic System by Ahlam Mohamad Shakoor, Hersh Hasan Taha

“… The most popular type of renewable energy is photovoltaic (PV) because it is a sustainable source and environmentally friendly. The power generated by a PV system varies with changes in ambient conditions such as temperature and sun radiation; therefore, tracking the maximum power generation from a photovoltaic system independent of temperature and radiation factors is very important. …”
