“…In the first place, it is important to note that the energy consumption per person and per km. is 3.4 times higher in buses than in light rail systems, while the capacity of the light train is around 2.3 times higher [2,3]. Besides, the emissions generated by the light rail system are not concentrated in the cayos, but in the electric plant, where they can be dealt with in a much more efficient way.…”

The objective of our work is to solve the problem of transferring workers from a resort set on two cays (islets sandy) in the Sabana-Camaguey archipelago, north of Cuba, from their home areas to the resort and vice versa. We start with an economic analysis of the possible alternatives to solve the problem. Those that result most favorable economically are then subject to an environmental analysis, for tourism development in the area is based on the physical environment of high ecological and landscape that surrounds it. After completing the environmental impact study of each alternative, we choose the most appropriate and favorable one. In the case of the introduction of a means to transport workers, we proposed light rail as the most economically feasible option, due to the conditions of our problem. Finally, we arranged the transfer of workers using buses from the terminal to the various hotels in the resort area.

“…Based on the experiments, a two-step process could be proposed for the removal of the engineemitted PM in NTP. First, the VOCs on the surface of the carbonaceous core of the PM [5] are released due to the heat produced by NTP and then the released gaseous VOCs are oxidized immediately by the oxidants produced by NTP. Sec- ond, the carbonaceous core is exposed to NTP and reacts with the activated radicals of plasma as described by Cuesta et al [12] and Perez-Mendoza et al [13].…”
