Theoretical prediction of odour determining parameters in dairy effluent using adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system
Water and Wastewater Treatment
People are prompted to complain about air pollution by offensive odours. They can produce psychological consequences, such as nausea, headaches, lack of appetite, breathing difficulties, and various adverse reactions in some circumstances. Among various industries, the dairy industry emits the most...
Brackish water treatment by Ceramic TiO2 Low-Pressure Nanofiltration Membranes
Water and wastewater reuse
The application of ceramic Nanofiltration (NF) membrane in brackish water treatment is increasing due to strict water quality standards. Ceramic NF is a widely used membrane process and has replaced reverse osmosis (RO) membranes in many applications due to lower energy consumption and higher flux...
Drainage network flow anomaly classification based on XGBoost
Environmental data analysis and modelling
Identifying and classifying anomalies in on-line monitoring systems of drainage systems is important to reduce urban water pollution. In the context of big data, the mini-batch K-means combined with the XGBoost drainage network abnormal flow identification and classification model is proposed to...
Coastline change rate estimation on the southern coastal districts of Tamil Nadu, India using the multi temporal Google Earth images and GIS based statistical approach
Ecology, environmental change and management
Coastal erosion is the process of wearing away material from the coastal profile due to an imbalance in the supply and export of material from a particular section of the coast which cause property damage, and the loss of land. This study investigates the rate of erosion and accretion along the...
Determination of Parameters for Watershed delineation using various satellite derived Digital Elevation Models and its accuracy

IMPACT OF BIO-COMPETITIVE EXCLUSION ON NITRATE-REDUCING BACTERIA IN OIL RESERVOIR WATER TREATMENT
Water and Wastewater Treatment
In the presence of nitrogen oxides, nitrate-reducing bacteria (NRB) may use nitrate as an electron acceptor, reduce nitrate to nitrite, and finally convert nitrite to nitrogen or ammonium (NO and N2O). Studies have shown that BCX (Bio-Competitive Exclusion) is a viable , ecologically benign, and low...
Water quality assessment in coastal lagoons using improved back propagation deep neural network with PH level compensation sensors in smart environment
