since it is essential to deliver smoothed sinusoidal voltage to the customers, diagnosing power quality (pq) events has played important role in power delivery and conversion. this diagnostic scheme should be accurate to classify pq events from other events in power system. also it should be fast enough to rapidly mitigate pq events. in this paper, an algorithm based on core vector machine (cvm...

there are more than 350 wastewater treatment plants distributed across different parts of oman. some of them produce large quantities of domestic sewage sludge, particularly this study focused on characterizing domestic sludge of six treatment plants that may contain various pollutants, therefore the proper management of domestic sewage sludge is essential.samples of domestic sewage sludge were...

background: one of the key issues in determining the quality of water in rivers is to create a water quality control network with a suitable performance. the measured qualitative variables at stations should be representative of all the changes in water quality in water systems. since the increase in water quality monitoring stations increases annual monitoring costs, recognition of the station...

The existence of harmonics is one of the significant means of deteriorating the quality of an electric power supply. In order to fully understand the problems caused by harmonics, sources of electric power harmonics needs to be identified and this normally requires power quality monitoring and analysis. However, monitoring usually generates vast amount of data which makes manual inspection of t...
