Neural networks for dimensionality reduction of fluorescence spectra and prediction of drinking water disinfection by-products.

Water research
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
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...

Metal-free virucidal effects induced by g-CN under visible light irradiation: Statistical analysis and parameter optimization.

Chemosphere
Waterborne viruses with a low infectious dose and a high pathogenic potential pose a serious risk for humans all over the world, calling for a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly inactivation method. Optimizing operational parameters during t...

Deployment of a touchless ultraviolet light robot for terminal room disinfection: The importance of audit and feedback.

American journal of infection control
Touchless ultraviolet disinfection (UVD) devices effectively reduce the bioburden of epidemiologically relevant pathogens, including Clostridium difficile. During a 25-month implementation period, UVD devices were deployed facilitywide for the termin...

Impact of density of coating agent on antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticle impregnated plasma treated activated carbon.

Journal of environmental sciences (China)
To use stabilized nanoparticles (NPs) in water as disinfectants over a very long period, the amount of coating agent (for NP stabilization) needs to be optimized. To this end, silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) with two different coating densities of tri-...

Influence of milking method, disinfection and herd management practices on bulk tank milk somatic cell counts in tropical dairy herds in Colombia.

Veterinary journal (London, England : 1997)
The aims of this study were to evaluate the effects of milking method, disinfection practices and other management factors on the bulk tank milk somatic cell count (BTSCC) in tropical dairy herds and to examine potential interactions with time. One h...

Machine learning-guided prediction of chlorinated/chloraminated disinfection by-product formation in drinking water treatment.

Water research
Chlorination and chloramination as common water disinfection methods are challenged by the unintended formations of hazardous disinfection by-products (DBPs). Accurately predicting DBP formation is essential for improving water treatment processes an...

Performance analysis of machine learning algorithms for the prediction of disinfection byproducts formation during chlorination: Effect of background water characteristics.

Journal of environmental management
This study investigated the comparison of the nonlinear machine learning algorithms and linear regression models to predict the formation of trihalomethanes (THM4), haloacetic acids (HAA5 and HAA9), and haloacetonitriles (HAN4 and HAN6) under uniform...
