Wastewater surveillance studies on pathogens and their use in public health decision-making: a scoping review.

The Science of the total environment
This study provides a comprehensive overview of wastewater surveillance studies on pathogens, identifies key characteristics of studies that are associated with public health actions, and highlights the actions resulting from these studies. Many stud...

Enhancing energy consumption prediction and interpretability in wastewater treatment plants: A novel temporal difference-weighted resampling framework with cross validation for imbalanced regression.

Journal of environmental management
Accurate prediction of energy consumption is crucial for optimizing wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operations. However, imbalanced data caused by variable influent conditions often compromises machine learning (ML) model accuracy. This study propo...

Machine learning-based optimization of biogas and methane yields in UASB reactors for treating domestic wastewater.

Biodegradation
This study aimed to optimize biogas and methane production from Up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors for treating domestic wastewater using advanced machine learning models-namely, eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and its hybridized form, XGB...

Underestimated roles of phages in biological wastewater treatment systems: Recent advances and challenges.

Journal of hazardous materials
Bacteriophages (phages) are vital components in biological wastewater ecosystems, whose concentrations are far exceeding those bacteria. Despite their importance, they are often overlooked and regarded as the "dark matter" in biological treatment pro...

Machine learning approaches for predicting antibiotic resistance genes abundance changes during biological nitrogen removal process.

Journal of environmental management
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) serve as reservoirs for multiple antimicrobial agents (AAs), thereby promoting the risk of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) transmission in sewage and sludge during biological nitrogen removal (BNR) processes. An...

Digital health framework for the predictive surveillance and diagnosis of atopic dermatitis.

Water research
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inflammatory skin disease with immunological and environmental triggers that reduces the quality of life and increases the burden on health services. It is thus important to establish effective surveillance and diagnosis ...

Multimodal Learning-Assisted Identification of Effluent Water Quality and Toxicity in Wastewater Treatment Plants.

Environmental science & technology
Effluent of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) poses significant ecological risks due to potential biological toxicity, demanding effective monitoring and assessment of water quality and toxicity. However, the complexity of the wastewater treatment ...

Temporal dynamics of microbial communities in anaerobic digestion: Influence of temperature and feedstock composition on reactor performance and stability.

Water research
This study presents a novel multi-disciplinary approach, integrating explainable machine-learning with detailed chemical and biological analysis using microbial fermentation food wastewater to identify critical parameters influencing AD microbiome di...

Deep reinforcement learning control as an innovative approach for urban drainage systems: review and prospects.

Water research
Urban drainage systems (UDSs) are vital for managing stormwater and wastewater but face growing challenges due to urbanization, climate change and aging infrastructure. Real-time control (RTC) enhances UDSs' performance and circumvents the need for s...

Distinguishing critical microbial community shifts from normal temporal variability in human and environmental ecosystems.

Scientific reports
Differentiating significant microbial community changes from normal fluctuations is vital for understanding microbial dynamics in human and environmental ecosystems. This knowledge could enable early warning systems to monitor critical changes affect...
