Seismic Waveform Inversion Using the Finite-Difference Contrast Source Inversion Method by Bo Han, Qinglong He, Yong Chen, Yixin Dou

“…One of the most outstanding advantages of this inversion method is the highly computational efficiency, since it does not need to simulate a full forward problem for each inversion iteration. Another attractive feature of the inversion method is that it is of strong capability in dealing with nonlinear inverse problems in an inhomogeneous background medium, because a finite-difference operator is used to represent the differential operator governing the two-dimensional elastic wave propagation. …”

Emissions and Chemical Components of PM2.5 from Simulated Cooking Conditions Using Traditional Cookstoves and Fuels under a Dilution Tunnel System by Colleen Marciel F. Rosales, Jinsang Jung, Mylene G. Cayetano

“…., a charcoal-burning cement stove (CCP), a sawdust-burning tin-can stove (KKP), a fuelwood-burning metal-grill stove (MFP), a kerosene-burning metal stove (MKP), and a charcoalburning metal-grill stove (MCC). Forty-three sampling tests revealed that water-soluble K+ (23.0 ± 1.9 µg m−3), Cl− (12.3 ± 1.0 µg m−3), and Na+ (43 ± 22 µg m−3) contributed to the majority of the ionic mass concentrations generated by the CCP and MKP, respectively, whereas levoglucosan— a signature of biomass burning—dominated the PM2.5-bound monosugars emitted by the KKP (78.72 ± 6.96 µg m−3), MFP (0.76 ± 0.34 µg m−3), and MCC (10.21 ± 2.64 µg m−3). …”

Investigation of Aggression Levels of Secondary School Students Studying in Public and Private Schools, Playing and Non-Sports by İbrahim Bozkurt, Ayşegül Çelik

“…The schools where we conduct our study are secondary education institutions with the status of science high school, anatolian high school, sports high school and vocational high school. Personal information form was used for the socio-demographic information of the students, and the aggression inventory consisting of 30 items and the reliability of which was developed by İpek İlter KiPER was used to determine the aggression levels.For our study, Cronbach's Alpha value was determined as 0.87 for all of the items in the aggression inventory, while the Cronbach's Alpha value was determined as 0.81 for the Destructive aggression sub-dimension, 0.80 for the Assertiveness sub-dimension, and 0.79 for the Passive Aggression sub-dimension. …”
