Climate Change and Air Pollution Dynamics: Synergistic Effects and Mitigation Strategies
Abstract: Climate change and air pollution are deeply interlinked environmental problems that jointly exacerbate human health, ecosystem integrity, and economic well‑being. As global temperatures rise, shifts in meteorological conditions—such as increased heat, altered precipitation, and more frequent extreme weather events—modify pollutant generation, dispersion, chemical transformation, and removal processes. Meanwhile, many sources of air pollution are also sources of greenhouse gases (GHGs), giving rise to potential co‑benefits or trade‑offs when formulating mitigation …

Mitigation of Peak to Average Power Ratio in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing through SOP-PTS
Abstract: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a popular multicarrier modulation technology extensively employed in 4G wireless communication systems to transmit data over a dispersive channel. To address the Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) issue in OFDM, a technique called Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS) is commonly utilized. The PTS method involves dividing the data block into non-overlapping sub-blocks and then combining them using phase factors to mitigate PAPR. However, the conventional PTS …
