Evaluating the Impact of Intelligent Traffic Management Systems on Urban Congestion and Emission Levels
Abstract: AbstractUrban congestion and vehicle emissions represent critical challenges in densely populated citiesworldwide, posing risks to both travel efficiency and environmental health. As urbanizationintensifies, traditional traffic management approaches often fall short of alleviating congestion,resulting in longer commute times, increased fuel consumption, and higher pollutant emissions. Thisstudy evaluates the effectiveness of Intelligent Traffic Management Systems (ITMS), an advancedapproach leveraging adaptive traffic control technologies, in reducing both congestion and emissions.Through a combination of …

Chemical Risks of Explosive Weapons and Their Long-Term Effects
Abstract: Explosive weapons, such as bombs, rockets, and landmines, are known to cause destruction and fatalities in conflict zones around the world. However, the use of such weapons also produces hazardous chemicals that can have long-lasting environmental and health impacts on people and ecosystems. These chemicals can be released into the air, soil, and water, contaminating the surrounding environment and potentially exposing civilians to toxic substances. The chemicals produced by explosive …

Global Water Resources with Special Reference to India
Abstract: The world’s water resources face formidable threats. More than a billion people currently live in water-scarce regions, and as many as 3.5 billion could experience water scarcity by 2025. Increasing pollution degrades freshwater and coastal aquatic ecosystems. And climate change is poised to shift precipitation patterns and speed glacial melt, altering water supplies and intensifying floods and drought. 97% of the water on the Earth is salt water and only …

Impact of Agriculture Production on Climate: Contributor and Victim
Abstract: The agriculture production is one of the major contributors in emission of Greenhouse gases (GHGs) emission, soil degradation, biodiversity losses and pollution and hence both contributor and victim to climate change. According to IPCC, Agriculture sector accounts to around 24 percent of total GHGs emission. The Impact on climate largely depends on the agricultural practices of scale of these farming/agricultural practices of farmers. As per consensus of IPCC, its already …

Recent Developments in Low-Temperature Combustion (LTC) Strategies for Next-Generation Engines
Abstract: AbstractThe growing demand for cleaner and more efficient internal combustion engines has driven extensiveresearch into advanced combustion methods, among which Low-Temperature Combustion (LTC)strategies have emerged as a highly promising area. LTC offers a unique approach to enginecombustion by lowering the peak temperatures within the combustion chamber, thereby significantlyreducing the formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) – two major pollutantsassociated with traditional engine designs. Importantly, LTC systems achieve …
