Computer modeling of water quality in large multiple-source networks

The application of DEA and queuing models to large scale computer networks

Large-scale Multiple-source Detection Using Wireless Sensor Networks

This dissertation concerns the sequential large-scale detection of multiple potential sources using wireless sensor networks. A new 2-step approach to sequential multiple-source detection is introduced called the iterative partial sequential probability ratio test (IPSPRT) that minimizes the time-to-decision as the desired probability of false alarm and probability of miss decrease. The first s...

Water quality modeling in the dead end sections of drinking water distribution networks.

Dead-end sections of drinking water distribution networks are known to be problematic zones in terms of water quality degradation. Extended residence time due to water stagnation leads to rapid reduction of disinfectant residuals allowing the regrowth of microbial pathogens. Water quality models developed so far apply spatial aggregation and temporal averaging techniques for hydraulic parameter...

The Effects of Water Exercises on the Quality of Life in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of water exercises on the quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis. Methods: 30 multiple sclerosis patients (40-65 years old) were selected by available sample. They were divided into control and experimental groups. The instrument was the Quality of Life Questionnaire (SF-36) in this study. The experi...

Assessment of Guinea Savanna River system to evaluate water quality and water monitoring networks

The analysis of changes in water quality in a monitoring network system is important because the sources of pollution vary in time and space. This study utilized analysis of the water quality index calculation, hierarchical cluster analysis, and mapping. This was achieved by assessing the water quality parameters of the samples collected from Galma River in Zaria, Northwestern Nigeria in wet an...
