Deep learning-based air pollution prediction model using modified gated recurrent unit
Air Quality
In recent days air quality has been very poor in urban society due to a lot of industries, vehicles and so on. To overcome poor quality, an air quality prediction is much needed to manage an urban area and control pollution. In this article, deep learning (DL) namely a Modified Gated Recurrent Unit...
Effect of Dry Mix Alkali Activated Slag Binder Composite Properties Cured in Ambient Condition
Solid Waste Management
A dry mix (solution-free) alkali-activated slag (a primary cementitious material) and/or fly ash based binder composition is developed that can be cast in-site and consequently cured at ambient temperature. Mortar specimens were cast by mixing slag and or fly ash, river sand, powder form alkaline...
Air Pollution Monitoring Model in Real-time with cloud based Channel Ranging and Stego Privacy Preservation
Air Quality
Monitoring air quality in polluted environments is crucial for human health, but traditional methods using meteorological equipment have limitations in complex terrains and are costly. This study proposes a novel approach to address air pollution monitoring in urban areas by visually assessing the...
Urban flood detection with the augmentation of gradient boosting and machine learning for prior warning sign over vulnerable zones
Urban environment and health
Urban flooding has severely threatened the ecosystem and human life in recent years. The key to managing stormwater is to understand what causes it. The forceful effects of building shape on urban floods should be addressed, which results in a significant underestimation of flood danger. Algorithms...
