The sustainability of the Hetao Irrigation System, located in the water scarce upper Yellow River basin, is a priority considering the need for water saving, increased water productivity, and higher farmers’ incomes. The upgrading of basin irrigation, the main irrigation method, is essential and includes the adoption of precise land levelling, cut-off management, improved water distribution uni...

In Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, Nigeria (MOUAU) and surrounding environments, table water of different brands is commercially hawked by vendors. To the best of our knowledge, there is no scientific documentation on the quality of these water samples. Hence this study which evaluated the quality of different brands of water samples commercially sold in MOUAU and surrounding...

The objective of this paper is to describe a developed model and its corresponding application, known as System to Evaluate the Water Consumption at Home (SEWAT). The aim is to create a new model to evaluate the efficiency of water consumption. Thanks to the input of the water bills by users, the model allows them to check if water consumption is efficient, in order to give them an opportunity ...

Wireless networks have gained its popularity quickly in recent years. As the usage increases, there is also an increasing need to understand the characteristics of wireless users. Among all the properties to describe user behaviors in 802.11-based wireless LANs, their association patterns to access points (APs) play a very important and fundamental part. In this poster, we apply principal compo...

Since the definition of the association rule mining problem in Agrawal’s 1993 paper, several efficient algorithms have been introduced to tackle the problem. Nevertheless, most of the approaches focuses on increasing algorithm efficiency, neglecting the fact that association rule mining poses many practical difficulties to users. Mining useful information is not straightforward, and neither is ...
