The Impact of Sporting Events on Air Pollution: An Empirical Examination of National Football League Games by Nicholas Watanabe (19450285)

“…<h3>Background</h3><p dir="ltr">Prior research has found that large-scale sporting events may potentially impose negative consequences on the environment, thus impeding the sustainability goals of the sport industry. Along these lines, the current study extends the literature by examining the impact that National Football League (NFL) games have on local-area air pollution. (2) Methods: Air Quality Index (AQI) data measuring six major forms of air pollution were gathered from air monitors positioned close to NFL stadiums and matched with the number of attendees at games. …”

Tabu search based circuit optimization by Sait, Sadiq M.

“…Such a strategy leads to sizable circuit speed improvement with minimum increase in the overall circuit capacitance. Compared to earlier approaches, the presented technique produces circuits with remarkable increase in speed (greater than 20%) for very small increase in overall circuit capacitance (less than 3%)…”

ROS-Mediated Autophagic Death in Glioblastoma Cells Upon Treatment by Human Recombinant Arginase I (Co)- PEG5000 [HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000] by Abdel Khalek, Maya

“…In this study, we examine the mechanism of HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000-induced cell death in both partially and completely auxotrophic GBM cell lines. Our results first showed a significant increase in HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000 treated cells for both U251 and A172 in autophagosome formation; suggesting activation of autophagy in response to arginine deprivation. …”
