Ultraviolet disinfection robots to improve hospital cleaning: Real promise or just a gimmick?
Antimicrobial resistance and infection control
Feb 12, 2021
The global COVID-19 pandemic due to the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has challenged the availability of traditional surface disinfectants. It has also stimulated the production of ultraviolet-disinfection robots by companies and institutions. These r...
New methods based on back propagation (BP) and radial basis function (RBF) artificial neural networks (ANNs) for predicting the occurrence of haloketones in tap water.
The Science of the total environment
Feb 2, 2021
Haloketones (HKs) is one class of disinfection by-products (DBPs) which is genetically toxic and mutagenic. Monitoring HKs in drinking water is important for drinking water safety, yet it is a time-consuming and laborious job. Developing predictive m...

Environmental science and pollution research international
Oct 14, 2020
The aim of the present work is to contribute in the fight against the spread of Covid-19, a novel human coronavirus, in hospitals, public transport, airlines, and any enclosed areas. In this study, we have adopted the physical disinfection method by ...
Can Disinfection Robots Reduce the Risk of Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in Health Care and Educational Settings?
Journal of medical Internet research
Sep 15, 2020
We explore the opportunities and challenges surrounding the use of disinfection robots to reduce the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in health care and educational settings. Although there is some potential for deploying robots to help with manual cl...
Microbial contamination and efficacy of disinfection procedures of companion robots in care homes.
PloS one
Aug 26, 2020
BACKGROUND: Paro and other robot animals can improve wellbeing for older adults and people with dementia, through reducing depression, agitation and medication use. However, nursing and care staff we contacted expressed infection control concerns. Li...
A Human Support Robot for the Cleaning and Maintenance of Door Handles Using a Deep-Learning Framework.
Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Jun 23, 2020
The role of mobile robots for cleaning and sanitation purposes is increasing worldwide. Disinfection and hygiene are two integral parts of any safe indoor environment, and these factors become more critical in COVID-19-like pandemic situations. Door ...
Radial basis function artificial neural network able to accurately predict disinfection by-product levels in tap water: Taking haloacetic acids as a case study.
Chemosphere
Jan 22, 2020
Control of risks caused by disinfection by-products (DBPs) requires pre-knowledge of their levels in drinking water. In this study, a radial basis function (RBF) artificial neural network (ANN) was proposed to predict the concentrations of haloacetic...
Neural networks for dimensionality reduction of fluorescence spectra and prediction of drinking water disinfection by-products.
Water research
Feb 21, 2018
The use of fluorescence data coupled with neural networks for improved predictability of drinking water disinfection by-products (DBPs) was investigated. Novel application of autoencoders to process high-dimensional fluorescence data was related to c...
Biosynthesis of copper nanoparticles using Shewanella loihica PV-4 with antibacterial activity: Novel approach and mechanisms investigation.
Journal of hazardous materials
Dec 29, 2017
Metallic nanoparticle based disinfection represents a promising approach for microbial pollution control in drinking water and thus, biosynthesis of non precious metal nanoparticles is of considerable interest. Herein, an original and efficient route...
