Cost-Constrained Sensor Reduction for Deployment AwareIoT-Based Multiclass Water Quality Monitoring
Abstract: Large-scale Internet of Things deployment for water quality monitoring systems is bounded by the capital and several other costs associated with the multi-dimensional sensor. While prior research demonstrates strong predictive performance using multi- parameter physicochemical sensing, limited attention has been given to explicit sensing cost constraints and deployment feasibility. This work formulates multiclass water quality classification as a cost-constrained learning problem in which sensing dimensionality is minimized subject to bounded …

Quality of sleep among post menopausal women
Abstract: Background: Menopause is a time of major hormonal, physical and psychological change for women. Sleep disturbances are very common in menopausal women. Sleep disturbances among menopausal women have been ascribed to a number of factors e.g., normal physiological changes associated with aging, poor health perception, menopausal-related symptoms, nervousness, stress, mood symptoms (e.g. depression and anxiety), and co morbid chronic health issues. Besides these biological and chronobiological factors, socioeconomic, psychosocial, cultural, …

Classification of power quality disturbances using advanced deep learning algorithms for Accurate and efficient electrical signal analysis
Abstract: Power systems today have to deal with more and more power quality issues (PQDs) like voltage drops, rises, harmonics, and transients because more people are using renewable energy sources and electronic devices. These problems can hurt equipment, stop services, and lower the overall reliability of power. In real-time settings, traditional detection methods often don't work as quickly or accurately as they should. This paper looks at how deep learning models, …
