Purpose: Knowledge of sediment load carried by any river is essential for designing and planning of hydro power and irrigation projects. So the aim of this study is to develop and evaluating the best soft-computing-based model with M5P and Random Forest regressionbased techniques for computation of sediment using datasets of daily discharge, daily gauge and sediment load at the Champua gauging site...
Purpose: The aim of the article is to demonstrate the influence of errors and performance errors that affect the damage to the concert hall floor. Design/methodology/approach: When the project was launched, cracks appeared which made the floor unsuitable for further use. In order to determine the cause of the damage, the team conducted a detailed structural health analysis. Findings: The documents...
Purpose: Diabetes is a chronic disease that pays for a large proportion of the nation's healthcare expenses when people with diabetes want medical care continuously. Several complications will occur if the polymer disorder is not treated and unrecognizable. The prescribed condition leads to a diagnostic center and a doctor's intention. One of the real-world subjects essential is to find the first...
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to estimate the aeration efficiency (E20) of Labyrinth weir using artificial intelligent (AI)-based models. Design/methodology/approach: The aeration efficiency (E20) was collected by using the nine models of Labyrinth weir with different shapes and dimensions. A total of 180 observations were used out of which 126 used to train the AI-based models and the remaining...
