Abstract: Multiple linear regression models were constructed to characterize ground-level O3 metrics in Bangkok Metropolis Region where meteorological parameters are different from other studies in cold cities. SAS® 9.2 software analyzed 2.9-million hourly data during 1997 – 2011 including O3, NO2 and meteorological variables such as temperature (T), rainfall (RF), relative humidity (RH), pressure (P), solar radiation (SR), wind speed (WS) and wind direction (WD). The results showed O3 was highest in winter because of clearest sky and an atmospheric inversion. O3 had negatively correlated with RH and RF and positively correlated with SR and previous day O3 (O3(d-1)) Natural logarithm transformed O3 was used for 3 O3 metrics (daily average, daily maximum and daytime average) for 4 periods (annual, summer, winter and rainy season). Regression results showed that the lnO3(d-1) was a main positive predictor and RH is the strongest negative predictor following by a positive SR predictor. In winter, m

Abstract: The current study examines the connection between the concepts of environmental management and intellectual capital to enable the proposal of a model to measure green intellectual capital for Malaysian environmentally sensitive companies. As of now, the indicators for measuring green intellectual capital for companies have been inconsistent and vary in practices. The indicators in the current study are developed based on the integration of intellectual capital studies and the ‘Hart-Type resource domain’, which is originated from the Natural Resource-based theory (NRBV), one of the well known environmental management theory. Thus, the current study offers some dimensions which highlight four essential components of green intellectual capital, namely as green human capital, green innovation capital, green process capital and green social capital. The current study is motivated to produce one measurement model on green intellectual capital which is applicable to all environmentally sensit
