GROUNDWATER , *WATER quality , *MACHINE learning , *WATER supply , *FRESH water - Abstract
Earth is often referred to as the "Blue Planet" because of much of its area covered by water (almost 71%). After air, water plays a fundamental role in human life. On Earth water is there on many different places and in many different forms. Compared to the availability of water for human consumption is limited to that of the amount of water exists. The majority of fresh water is actually found underground as soil moisture and in aquafiers. As population is growing at unprecedented rates globally, protecting groundwater is highest priority. Protecting groundwater directly protects surface water, rain water and all forms of water because water continues to cycle and recycle. For this the immediate action we can take right now is to improve water quality monitoring. Water quality describes the chemical, physical and biological characteristics, usually with respect to its suitability for a particular purpose. Water quality is classified into four main types: Potable Water, Palatable Water, Contam-inated Water and Infected Water. Traditional methods of water quality classification are cumbersome process and hence Machine Learning (ML) can be used as a catalyst for this. This study predicts ground water quality using ML techniques. Hence, the study is mainly useful for prediction of drinkable water. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

HERITAGE tourism , *SOUND recordings , *CULTURAL property , *FAMILY traditions , *TOURISM - Abstract
Tourism is a multifaceted activity that provides a wonderful experience to the tourists. Today due to the fastest means of transportation and communication the world has shrunk into a Global village" and the age-old saying of "VasudhaivKutumbakam" (the whole earth is a family) can be easily be related to the current world scenario. Tourism brings economic prosperity and social understanding among nations. Tourism provides a thrust to the economy and provides long-term as well as short-term benefits to society. It generates revenue and employment and the multiplier effect of tourism further boosts the entire economy. Tourism not only generates financial benefits but also upgrades human skills. The infrastructure and the development created for tourism are used by all other sectors of the economy. The tourism industry, therefore, has much potential to offer. The cultural heritage of a place is continuously created and recreated by the people from time to time in response to the changing times. It is the cultural heritage of a person which gives him a sense of identity. People belonging to different castes, creeds, or races follow different traditions or practices. This is their intangible heritage. Anything or practice, we wish to preserve and want to pass it on to our next generation is known as heritage. Every person has a personal heritage which he or she keeps or preserves with pride like family pictures, music records, personal objects, souvenirs, a family house, and family traditions. This is the personal heritage that individuals conserve, recognize or preserve with care. Similarly, in a broader sense, every community possesses a collective heritage which it wants to preserve like buildings, parks traditions, skills, collections of objects, etc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We establish factoriality and non-injectivity in full generality for the mixed q-Araki–Woods von Neumann algebra associated to a separable real Hilbert space H R with dim H R ≥ 2 , a strongly continuous one parameter group of orthogonal transformations on H R , a direct sum decomposition H R = ⊕ i H R (i) , and a real symmetric matrix (qij) with supi,j|qij| < 1. This is achieved by first proving the existence of conjugate variables for a finite number of generators of the algebras (when dim H R < ∞), following the lines of Miyagawa–Speicher and Kumar–Skalski–Wasilewski. The conjugate variables belong to the factors in question and satisfy certain Lipschitz conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Complex and active fluids find broad applications in flows through porous materials. Nontrivial rheology can couple to porous microstructure leading to surprising flow patterns and associated transport properties in geophysical, biological, and industrial systems. Viscoelastic instabilities are highly sensitive to pore geometry and can give rise to chaotic velocity fluctuations. A number of recent studies have begun to untangle how the pore-scale geometry influences the sample-scale flow topology and the resulting dispersive transport properties of these complex systems. Beyond classical rheological properties, active colloids and swimming cells exhibit a range of unique properties, including reduced effective viscosity, collective motion, and random walks, that present novel challenges to understanding their mechanics and transport in porous media flows. This review article aims to provide a brief overview of essential, fundamental concepts followed by an in-depth summary of recent developments in this rapidly evolving field. The chosen topics are motivated by applications, and new opportunities for discovery are highlighted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Estimation of module temperature is important for the assessment of performance and reliability of photovoltaic (PV) modules. The objective of the present work is to develop a simple model for estimation of module temperature of water-based PV systems. In this paper, a new approach has been proposed to incorporate the effect of water on PV module temperature. PV modules experience differential heat exchange from their front and rear sides under the influence of water. Therefore, in the proposed approach, separate thermal loss coefficients have been calculated for the front and rear sides of PV modules. The experimentally measured data of a complete year has been utilized to determine the thermal loss coefficients of front and rear sides of PV modules. These coefficients have been used along with PV module technology parameters for predicting module temperature. The ratio of front and rear side thermal loss coefficient of hetro-junction with intrinsic thin layer (HIT), multi-crysalline Silicon (mc-Si), and Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) PV technologies is found to be 0.537, 0.556, and 0.363, respectively. The developed model has been validated using an experimental setup comprising of three different PV module technologies. The mean bias error and root mean square error for the developed model have been found to be less than 0.5 °C and approximately 3 °C, respectively. This shows that the developed model is accurate enough and consistent for temperature estimation of different PV module technologies on water bodies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Polymeric flow through porous media is relevant in industrial applications, such as enhanced oil recovery, microbial mining, and groundwater remediation. Biological processes, such as drug delivery and the transport of cells and particles in the body, also depend on the viscoelastic flow through the porous matrix. Large elastic stresses induced due to confined geometries can lead to elastic instability for the viscoelastic fluid flow through porous media. We have numerically studied viscoelastic flow through a channel having two closely placed cylinders to investigate pore scale elastic instabilities. We have discovered three distinct flow states in the region between the cylinders. These flow states are closely coupled with the topology of the polymeric stress field. The transition between the flow states can be identified with two critical Weissenberg numbers ( Wi cr 1 and Wi cr 2 ), where the Weissenberg number (Wi) is the ratio of elastic to viscous forces. At Wi < Wi cr 1 , the flow is stable, symmetric, and eddy free. For Wi cr 1 < Wi < Wi cr 2 , eddies form in the region between the cylinders. We have measured the area occupied by the eddies for different flow conditions and fluid rheological parameters. At Wi > Wi cr 2 , the eddy disappears and the flow around the cylinders becomes asymmetric. We have quantified the flow asymmetry around the cylinders for different flow rates and fluid rheology. We have also studied the effect of the cylinders' diameter and separation on the eddies' size ( Wi cr 1 < Wi < Wi cr 2 ) and flow asymmetry (Wi > Wi cr 2 ). We have also investigated the effect of fluid rheology and cylinders' diameter and separation on the value of critical Weissenberg numbers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Distribution of Zn 2 + , Al 3 + , and Fe 3 + ions on tetrahedral and octahedral sites in Fe 3 + -doped ZnAl 2 O 4 nanocrystals is studied through detailed x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Significant changes in the intensity ratio of (220), (311), (400), and (422) diffraction peaks upon Fe addition were perceived, whose correlation with lattice inversion, Fe 3 + ions distribution, and ionic vacancies is probed through simulations and Rietveld refinement. Fe 3 + ions were found to be occupying tetrahedral sites in increasing proportion with the doping concentration, leading to decreased spinel inversion. However, different orders of defects, viz., cation and anion vacancies were also found to be playing their part in the statistical distribution of cations on octahedral/tetrahedral interstices. Fe L 2 , 3 -edge x-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy indicated Fe 3 + ions being present on tetrahedral as well octahedral interstices and distortion in cation polyhedra, while O K-edge inferred formation of different orders of ionic vacancies upon Fe addition, thereby corroborating the results from XRD. The photoluminescence study illustrated the quenched emission intensity upon Fe doping, with almost no change in emission color, and signatures of tetrahedral/octahedral Fe 3 + occupancy in the lattice. Thus, this study highlights the variation in degrees of freedom associated with atomic arrangements in spinel ZnAl 2 O 4 lattice upon Fe 3 + addition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In most of the developed nations, there are markets where shares, securities or commodities are traded on daily basis, which generally reflects the growth of any country and the health of the company stocks which are traded.Stock market investment is considered to be one of the riskiest investments by investors all around the world, but if historical data is studied carefully then the gap between how the market behaves and what investors know, can be minimized.The data of opening and closing price, which is generated, is a times-series in nature. This time-series data of any index or stock attracts researchers to predict the next move or price of the commodity or index.There are lots of methods available to analyze the data like auto-regressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), regression based, neural network or moving averages methods.However, ARIMA is a type of model which is generally applied to the time-series data to gain insights into data,to understand what happened in the past and what is the next move to expect. In this chapter, an attempt has been made to use the time-series data of the past 5 years and based on that we can forecast the future direction of the indices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Tracking accurate movement of stock market is a difficult job for investors in recent times due to the non- linear behavior and volatility of the stocks, which gets affected because of different reasons. Now, advancement in technology, introduction of artificial intelligence, improved computation power and programming methods have enabled researchers to forecast the market more efficiently. This paper is an attempt to create new variables with the help of artificial neural network (ANN) and random forests (RF) algorithm, to be used to forecast closing price of the next day. For this, open, high, closing and low price are used to create new variables, which can be treated as inputs to the model. The indicators used in this model are RMSE, MBE and MAPE and their low values are indicative of the fact that the proposed machine learning methods are suitable for the prediction of stock prices of the companies under consideration.
