Sustainable Development in Reservoir Sedimentation Load Estimation from Statistical Analysis of Datasets to Deep Learning Algorithms

by Subramaniyan U. Rengasamy I. Chellappa R.S.R.

Environmental data analysis and modelling

The process of sedimentation in reservoirs is an important issue that must be addressed for effective water resource management. Traditional methods for predicting sedimentation are complex and require extensive data inputs. In this study, we innovate by integrating four distinct neural network...

Investigation of antibiotic clarithromycin adsorption potential on microplastics

by Sedeeq Z.I.S. Beduk F.

Chemicals in the environment

A In this study, it was aimed to investigate the potential of microplastics (MPs) to adsorb antibiotic clarithromycin (CLAR) in the water media. For this purpose, two of the most common used plastics; polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene (PE) were selected. Batch adsorption experiments...

Performance Evaluation of Drying Shrinkage and Durability in Pavement Quality Concrete with Recycled Aggregate, GGBS and I-Crete

by Chittibabu B. Durga Rani K.

Solid Waste Management

The study examines replacement of natural aggregates (NA) with Recycled Aggregate (RA) in Pavement Quality Concrete (PQC) M40 grade (M1) with 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% RA replacing NA in M2, M3. , M4 and M5 mixes. The compressive strength decreases with higher RA, but all mixes reach the target...

CO2-sequestering ability of M20 grade concrete with bio-char and iron ore tailing powder

by Sumil Kumaran A. Judes Sujatha S.

Environmental Health

The research aims to investigate the CO 2-sequestering ability of M20 grade concrete with biochar and Iron ore Tailing Powder (ITP). The biochar was prepared by slow pyrolysis of corn stover. The obtained biochar were categorized in two series as untreated biochar and biochar subjected to pre...

FOSSIL FUEL EMISSION PREDICTION SYSTEM USING MULTIPLE KERNEL GAUSSIAN PROCESS

by Deborah S, A. Sivanaiah R. Rajendram S.M. Mirnalinee T.

Environmental data analysis and modelling

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, 81% of greenhouse gas emission is due to Carbon-dioxide. When fossil fuels, solid waste, trees, and wood products are burnt, Carbon-dioxide emission occurs. The concentration of Carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere is reduced when it is...

Experimental Study of Hydrogen Use in a Diesel Engine in Automotive

by Balashowry K. Prasad kumar P. ArunaPrabha K. Sahithi V.

Global Environmental Change

The main objective of this experiment is to reduce the major pollutants NO and particulate matter that is emitted by diesel engines to avoid green house gases. The critical part is that reducing both the NO and particulate matter simultaneously is not possible. If we try to reduce PM, NO increases...
