For pilot experiment, we aerosolized the bacteriophage into the chamber and monitored the aerosol concentrations in real time (Nanoscan 3910 and OPS 3330, TSI, USA) to determine the time required to achieve a steady state at our chamber’s default ventilation rate (0.8 ACH). The pilot data ...

The type of sensor carried by an aerial platform determines the sort of data acquired and the obtainable information; sensors also determine the need for specific mechanical designs and the provision of energy on-board required from the system. UAV systems prototyped to monitor pipelines are ...

Therefore, this module needs to be able to receive these raw values and pass them on to the user along with another value on the entity pair (the reference value) if required. Once this detects the receipt of the input of the 0 value and the corresponding raw value, the next step is ...
Even though an effective pesticide spray application is used to achieve the required level of pest control, a portion of the pesticide spray may be lost to the ground and air [85]. Under conditions of stable air application, off-target drift may still penetrate or reach non-target plants ...
A sole focus on the particle removement efficiency as required for filtering systems did not lead to satisfactory results because several inactivating devices did not reduce the particle concentration. In contrast, the effect is based on inactivating the capability to infect a host cell. Therefore, ...
However, in small rooms, even when respecting required ACH, the proximity of the occupants can still lead to high risk of infection [51]. It is not always easy to determine the exact ACH of a room, especially when multiple ventilation systems are in use. However, the ACH can be ...
The surgical suite is simulated during a whole year (8760 h) with a simulation time-step of 1 min, since it is the required step to correctly simulate the variation of the airborne particles of OR 2, using the meteorological data of the year 2016. This year is the period in which the...
