Ensemble Decision Tree Models Using RUSBoost for Estimating Risk of Iron Failure in Drinking Water Distribution Systems

Risk Evaluation and Decision Support for Drinking Water Systems

Introduction The vital importance of a reliable and safe drinking water supply makes efficient risk management necessary for water utilities. Risks must be assessed and possible riskreduction measures evaluated to provide relevant decision support. The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasises the use of an integrated approach where the entire drinking water system, from source to tap, is cons...

Fault Detection in Ring Based Smart LVDC Microgrid Using Ensemble of Decision Tree

In modern infrastructure, the demand for DC power-based appliances is rapidly increasing, and this phenomenon has created a positive impact on the acceptance of the DC microgrid. However, due to numerous issues such as the absence of zero crossing, bidirectional behaviour of sources, and different magnitudes of fault current during grid connected and islanded modes of operation, protecting DC m...

Survey the Nitrate Concentration in Drinking Water Distribution Systems of Kashan County, Iran

High concentration of nitrate is a prevalent problem in water resources. Untreated wastewater due to municipal, industrial and agricultural activities is the main potential source of nitrate contamination of groundwater and surface water. The maximum permissible level of nitrate concentration has been established to be 45 mg/L by WHO and US–EPA. Health problems, such as Methemoglobinemia in bab...

Ecg Signal Classification Using Ensemble Decision Tree

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a non-invasive method to measure and record the electrical activity of the heart. ECG signal analysis has an important role on the diagnosis of heart diseases especially, abnormal or irregular heartbeats, namely arrhythmia. There are three basic waves; P, QRS and T in healthy EGC signal. The detection of these waves and time domain morphological properties represe...
