The article considers the problem of sawn timber drying. The relevance of research is driven by the need to improve the automated process control system for drying sawn timber on the basis of modern information technologies, as well as to reduce the energy intensity of these technologies, which is enshrined in the program documents of forest indust...
During the past decade, we have witnessed a transformation in the role played by China in international climate negotiations, which has provoked increasing academic and policy interest. While most of the current research focuses on normative or empirical analyses of policies, this article provides a comprehensive study of China's climate strategic ...
Non-thermal plasmas operating at high pressure attract increasing attention for a variety of applications as an alternative to conventional chemical processes. In this study, an atmospheric pressure direct current non-self-sustained discharge in nitrogen is investigated as a source of non-thermal plasma capable of operating in a glow regime. The di...
Cybersecurity is a real challenge on many levels for the transportation sector and its sub-sectors (air, maritime, ports, road...). While some aspects remain sub-sector specific, thereby making cy- bersecurity issues difficult to address, this report aims to understand the landscape and come up with a horizontal and holistic understanding of the cy...
Large quantities of construction and demolition waste is generated annually around the world. Part of this material is processed in recycling plants. After removing metals, fines and lights, the construction and demolition waste is crushed and sized and can be used as aggregates for low resistance concrete, for road sub-base, city landfill and othe...
This paper examines the determinants of the spatial and topological structure of three types of urban networks within the Yangtze River Delta. These networks consist of transport infrastructure links, business interactions in producer services firms, and leisure mobility. The influence of distance, size, administrative borders, landform contiguity,...

Exposure to benzene, toluene and p-, m-, o-xylene (BTX) was studied in 29 gas station attendants and 16 office workers in Sri Lanka. The aim of this study was to assess the exposure level and identify potential exposure mitigating measures. Pre- and post-shift samples of end-exhaled air were collected and analysed for BTX on a thermal desorption ga...
