Global urbanization is leading to an inexorable spread of several major diseases that need be stemmed. Dengue one these spreading in cities today, with its principal mosquito vector superbly adapted the urban environment. Current control strategies are proving inadequate, especially face such urbanisation and novel, evidence-based targeted approaches needed. Through combined epidemiological entomological approaches, we aimed identify a novel sanitation strategy alleviate burden dengue...

Understanding of rainfall is an important issue for Uttarakhand, India which having varied topography and due to that extreme causes quick runoff warns structural functional safety large structures other natural resources. In this study, attempt has been made determine the best-fit distribution annual series data period 1991–2002 13 districts Uttarakhand. A such as Chi-squared, Chi-squared (2P), exponential, exponential gamma, gamma (3P), gen. value (GEV), log-Pearson 3, Weibull, Weibull...

This study aims to better understand the time series forecasting of Aglar and Paligaad rivers' discharge (which has a significant impact on Himalayan river) using advanced methods such as Holt-Winters (HW) additive method, Simple exponential smoothing (SES), Non-seasonal ARIMA models. used antecedent information forecast next event. Comprehensive statistical examinations were conducted analyzed. The highly stochastic nature these river trends adds complexity efforts requires sophisticated...

In seismic-prone regions, the evaluation of structural performance bridges under mainshock-aftershock ground motion sequences is imperative for ensuring their safety and facilitating effective response measures. However, limited availability real-recorded region-specific condition results in adoption artificially generated seismic fragility assessment bridges. This study presents a new approach artificial generation by quantifying relationship between parameters sequences, while also...

As organizations search for more secure authentication methods user access, e-commerce, and other security applications, biometrics is gaining increasing attention. With an emphasis on the emerging automatic personal identification fingerprint based becoming popular. The most widely used representation minutiae representation. main drawback with this that it does not utilize a significant component of rich discriminatory information available in fingerprints. Local ridge structures cannot be...

Accurate measurement of continuous stream discharge poses both excitement and challenges for hydrologists water resource planners, particularly in mountainous watersheds. This study centers on the development rating curves utilizing power law at three headwaters lesser Himalayas—Aglar, Paligaad, Balganga—through installation level recorders stage salt dilution from 2014 to 2016. The stage–discharge relationship, crucially known as curve, is susceptible numerous factors watersheds that are...

ABSTRACT This study presents an in-depth analysis of machine learning (ML) techniques for predicting water quality index and classification using a dataset containing metrics such as temperature, specific conductance, salinity, dissolved oxygen, depth, pH, turbidity from multiple monitoring stations. Data preprocessing included imputation missing values, feature scaling, categorical encoding, ensuring balanced input features. research evaluated artificial neural networks, decision trees,...

Highlights Spring flows are the primary source of water for rural Himalayan communities. An attempt was made to understand potential spring discharge as an alternative irrigation source. Improved management resources is vital account agricultural use. Managing a collective endeavor achieving security. Abstract. With increasing population and restricted land resources, there growing concern better planning available resources. In mountainous regions or mountains, limited with uncertain...

Abstract Modelling the hydrologic processes is an essential tool for efficient management of water resource systems. Therefore, researchers are consistently developing and improving various predictive/forecasting techniques to accurately represent a river's attributes, even though traditional methods available. This paper presents Gene-Expression Programming (GEP) modelling technique model stage–discharge relationship Arouca River in Trinidad Tobago using only low flow data. The proposed...

Abstract Soil moisture dynamics have a significant effect on overland flow generation. Catchment aspect is one of the major controlling factors and soil behaviour. A few experimental studies been carried out in uneven topography Himalayas. This study presents plot‐scale experiments using portable rainfall simulator at an altitude 1,230 m above mean sea level modelling observed datasets. Two plots were selected 2 different aspects Aglar watershed Lesser Himalaya; agro‐forested (AF) plot was...

Several techniques have been developed during the last four decades for compression of ECG signal. The signal is required two main reasons, effective and economic data storage on-line transmission However, in present information technology (IT) has become more significant Telemedicine. Hence, it essential to review existing direct (DDC) purpose telemedicine. This paper deals with efficient algorithms which after carrying out an exhaustive study methods such as amplitude zone time epoch...

In the present study, Meteorological Drought (MD) has been analyzed using India Department (IMD) criteria, and Standardized Precipitation Index (PIStandard) in foothills of central Himalayan region Uttarakhand State, India. Rainfall time series at two weather stations, namely Pantnagar Dehradun stations were selected. For evaluation PIStandard method, moving sums rainfall data arranged monthly scales 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 months. The after sequencing it a for testing different statistical...

The infiltration process plays a key role in designing groundwater recharge, irrigation, and drainage systems, contamination evaluation is controlled by numerous factors, among which soil physical properties land use & cover (LULC) are the prime factors. A comprehensive understanding of spatial water characteristics over soil, site-specific more complex due to non-uniformity, could enhance agriculture efficiency mitigate water-related issues. present study deals with measurement field using...

In this study, a high-performance 16-bit, 500 MS/s successive approximation register analog-to-digital con-verter (SAR-ADC) with variable body biasing (VBB) for re-ducing sub-threshold leakage is designed and optimized. The suggested ADC architecture makes use of voltage threshold complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (VTCMOS) cir-cuit Widlar current mirror technology to efficiently con-sume 39.2 μW at an operating 1.0 V. Notably, the optimized achieves outstanding performance measures,...
