Prediction of the thickness of the compensator filter in radiation therapy using computational intelligence.

Medical dosimetry : official journal of the American Association of Medical Dosimetrists
In this study, artificial neural networks (ANNs) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) are investigated to predict the thickness of the compensator filter in radiation therapy. In the proposed models, the input parameters are field size (...

Predicting Membrane Fouling of Submerged Membrane Bioreactor Wastewater Treatment Plants Using Machine Learning.

Environmental science & technology
Membrane fouling remains a significant challenge in the operation of membrane bioreactors (MBRs). Plant operators rely heavily on observations of filtration performance from noisy sensor data to assess membrane fouling conditions and lab-based protoc...

Removing aflatoxin M1 from milk with native lactic acid bacteria, centrifugation, and filtration.

Arhiv za higijenu rada i toksikologiju
In order to minimise human exposure to aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) the levels of this highly carcinogenic mycotoxin in milk, heat-treated milk, and other dairy products have been limited to <0.05 μg kg-1. However, its removal from dairy products presents a c...

An In-Vitro Study Comparing the GME Handling of Two Contemporary Oxygenators.

The journal of extra-corporeal technology
Gaseous microemboli (GME) are a potential complication of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Though it is difficult to prove that GME is the only major cause of neurological deficits, it may increase the chance of post-operative cognitive dysfunction if n...

Predicting the performance of multi-media filters using artificial neural networks.

Water science and technology : a journal of the International Association on Water Pollution Research
The impact of flow rate and turbidity on the performance of multi-media filtration has been studied using an artificial neural network (ANN) based model. The ANN model was developed and tested based on experimental data collected from a pilot scale m...

[Evaluation of drinking-water treatment by Lifestraw® and Ceramic-pot filters].

Revista de salud publica (Bogota, Colombia)
Objective To evaluate under laboratory conditions, the removal efficiency of turbidity and E. coli of two household water filters: LifeStraw® family (MF) and ceramic pot filter (CPF). Methods The two systems were operated over 6 months using two iden...
