CTDMPLUS is a refined air quality model for use in all stability conditions for complex terrain applicadons. 

Model selection, application and validation are issues of major concern in mathematical soil and groundwater quality modeling. For the model selection, issues of importance are the features (physics, chemistry) of the model its temporal (steady state, dynamic) and spatial (e.g., compartmental approach resolution) the model input data requirements the mathematical techniques employed (finite difference, analytic) monitoring data availability and cost (professional time, computer time). For the model application, issues of importance are the availability of realistic input data (e.g., field hydraulic conductivity, adsorption coefficient) and the existence of monitoring data to verify model predictions. Some of these issues are briefly discussed below.

The development of new models for the prediction of chemical effects in the environment has improved. An Eulerian photochemical air quality model for the prediction of the atmospheric transport and chemical reactions of gas-phase toxic organic air pollutants has been published. The organic compounds were drawn from a list of 189 species selected for control as hazardous air pollutants in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. The species considered include benzene, various alkylbenzenes, phenol, cresols, 1,3-butadiene, acrolein, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and perchloroethyl-ene, among others. The finding that photochemical production can be a major contributor to the total concentrations of some toxic organic species implies that control programs for those species must consider more than just direct emissions (Harley and Cass, 1994). This further corroborates the present weakness in many atmospheric models. 

From antiquity up to now, many philosophers, scientists and economists have tackled with the sense and the meaning of the term quality , leading to numerous quality models, for example metaphysical, product management, economical, ecological and cognitive approaches. To get an overview of the major quality models, see [1]. 

Artificial neural networks arose from efforts to model the functioning of the mammalian brain. The most popular ANN — the feedforward ANN — has deeper roots in statistics than in neurobiology, though. A form of ANN (a Probability Neural Network) has been used within a QPA context to improve sensor data reliability, but not as an on-line quality model [57]. The best way to represent a feedforward ANN as an on-line quality model for SHMPC is...

Instead of building separate quality models for each standard and level of criticality level, we build views on a global quality model for different levels of criticality by simply adjusting the requirements accordingly. This way, we note a set of requirements on the quality matrix reflecting specific recommendations for instance EN50128 (SIL 1-2) view.
