This puffy line is not just exhaust from the engine, but a change in the clouds that’s caused by small airborne particles of pollution. New research led by the University of Washington (UW) is the first to measure this phenomenon’s effect over years and at a regional scale. Michael Diamond/University of Washington.

This is the first study to really show, in a statistical model, that air pollution was associated with changes in people’s brains and that those changes were then connected with declines in memory performance. Alzheimer’s is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States, and there’s currently no cure or treatment.

Traffic contributes more to NO x emissions in Europe than previously thought, according to a new study by a team at the University of Innsbruck. Using statistical methods, the scientists infer emissions from these data within a radius of about one kilometer of the measurement location. We record 36,000 data points per hour.

Some strategies to reduce emissions include running the engine highly dilute, with excess air or with recirculated exhaust gases as part of the combustion charge.

euroFOT findings concluded that ACC and FCW in passenger cars might have a positive effect on the overall crash statistics, for all road types. The trustworthy and reliable scores were statistically significantly higher after some experience with the system. In addition, usability and acceptance were exhaustively evaluated.

Five fuel blends (all based on pure components) were designed to test the effect of laminar flame speed (LFS) on the lean and exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR) dilution limits of SI combustion with various constant heats of vaporization (HoV). Higher fuel laminar flame speed expands dilute or lean operation.
