Chlorophyll-a (CHLA) is a key indicator to represent eutrophication status in lakes. In this study, CHLA, total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen (TN), turbidity (TB), and Secchi depth (SD) collected by the United States Environmental Protection Agency...
Monitoring plant nitrogen (N) in a timely way and accurately is critical for precision fertilization. The imaging technology based on visible light is relatively inexpensive and ubiquitous, and open-source analysis tools have proliferated. In this st...

Evaluating the eutrophication level of lakes with a single method alone is challenging since uncertain, fuzzy, and complex processes exist in eutrophication evaluations. The parameters selected for assessing eutrophication include chlorophyII-a, chem...
We present a machine learning (ML) framework to optimize the specificity and speed of liquid crystal (LC)-based chemical sensors. Specifically, we demonstrate that ML techniques can uncover valuable feature information from surface-driven LC orientat...

Spectroscopy is a powerful non-destructive quantization tool. In this paper, the technology is used to predict the nitrogen content of Masson pine seedling leaves. Masson pine is widely planted in China, and its nitrogen content is an important index...
This study develops a reliable radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs) to estimate freshness for tilapia fillets stored under non-isothermal conditions by using optimal wavelengths from hyperspectral imaging (HSI). The results show that, for t...

Two types of inoculated sludges, granular sludge that had been stored at -20°C and activated sludge, were investigated for the domestication of aerobic granular sludges (AGSs) in sequencing batch reactors (SBRs). The results showed that using the sto...
Anammox baffled reactor (AnBR) had a moderate start-up period of 53 days. Interestingly, tangled relationships between key parameters affecting anammox performance were observed, i.e., polynomial function for nitrogen loading rate (NLR) with extracel...
