Development of a machine learning model to support low cost real-time Legionella monitoring in premise plumbing systems.

Water research
Legionella pneumophila (L. pneumophila) is a pathogenic bacterium primarily known for causing Legionnaires' Disease which is known for high mortality rates, particularly in the elderly. With caseloads continuing to increase, further research is neede...

A machine learning approach for rapid early detection of Campylobacter spp. using absorbance spectra collected from enrichment cultures.

PloS one
Enumeration of Campylobacter from environmental waters can be difficult due to its low concentrations, which can still pose a significant health risk. Spectrophotometry is an approach commonly used for fast detection of water-borne pollutants in wate...

Machine learning vs. regression models to predict the risk of Legionella contamination in a hospital water network.

Annali di igiene : medicina preventiva e di comunita
INTRODUCTION: The periodic monitoring of Legionella in hospital water networks allows preventive measures to be taken to avoid the risk of legionellosis to patients and healthcare workers.

Using machine learning models to estimate Escherichia coli concentration in an irrigation pond from water quality and drone-based RGB imagery data.

Water research
The rapid and efficient quantification of Escherichia coli concentrations is crucial for monitoring water quality. Remote sensing techniques and machine learning algorithms have been used to detect E. coli in water and estimate its concentrations. Th...

Enhancing water quality prediction for fluctuating missing data scenarios: A dynamic Bayesian network-based processing system to monitor cyanobacteria proliferation.

The Science of the total environment
Tackling the impact of missing data in water management is crucial to ensure the reliability of scientific research that informs decision-making processes in public health. The goal of this study is to ascertain the root causes associated with cyanob...

Improvement of DBR routing protocol in underwater wireless sensor networks using fuzzy logic and bloom filter.

PloS one
Routing protocols for underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSN) and underwater Internet of Things (IoT_UWSN) networks have expanded significantly. DBR routing protocol is one of the most critical routing protocols in UWSNs. In this routing protocol,...

Identification the source of fecal contamination for geographically unassociated samples with a statistical classification model based on support vector machine.

Journal of hazardous materials
The bacterial diversity and corresponding biological significance revealed by high-throughput sequencing contribute massive information to source tracking of fecal contamination. The performances of classification models on predicting the fecal sourc...

Sequence-enabled community-based microbial source tracking in surface waters using machine learning classification: A review.

Journal of microbiological methods
The development of Microbial Source Tracking (MST) technologies was borne out of necessity. This was largely due to the: 1) inadequacies of the fecal indicator bacterial paradigm, 2) fact that many fecal bacteria can survive and often grow in the env...

Predicting the concentration of total coliforms in treated rural domestic wastewater by multi-soil-layering (MSL) technology using artificial neural networks.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
Many indicators are involved in monitoring water quality. For instance, the fecal indicator bacteria are extremely important to detect the water quality. For this purpose, to better predict the total coliforms at the outlet of a Multi-Soil-Layering (...

Rapid detection of microbiota cell type diversity using machine-learned classification of flow cytometry data.

Communications biology
The study of complex microbial communities typically entails high-throughput sequencing and downstream bioinformatics analyses. Here we expand and accelerate microbiota analysis by enabling cell type diversity quantification from multidimensional flo...
