Enhancing water pump failure prediction using machine learning: a focus on less-explored variables by Reza Rasinojehdehi, Goran Cirovic

“…This study bridges this gap by consulting domain experts to discern essential variables, including water catchment area level, water quality index, lubrication frequency, water reservoir temperature, operating time, and power interruptions count. Employing supervised ML methods, specifically multiple regression and decision tree cart, the research aims to enhance the precision of failure predictions, shedding light on less-explored variables that play a significant role in pump failure.…”

“…The relative expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), PI3K and Akt were detected by Western blot and RT-PCR respectively.Results:(1) The neurons in the ischemic area of the model group were irregular in morphology, vacuolation, reduction of glycosomes and autophagic vesicles in the cytoplasm, swelling of mitochondria and pyknosis of nucleus; Compared with the model group, on day 3, 7 and 14 of treatment, the neuron cell membrane of the combined acupuncture group showed a tendency to repair, and the structure of organelles and the degree of vacuolation were significantly improved.(2) On day 3, 7 and 14 of treatment, the MVD count of cerebral ischemia area was statistically significant in different groups (<italic>F</italic>_Intergroup=141.762, <italic>P</italic>&lt; 0.001), the MVD count of the combined acupuncture group was higher than that of the other two groups, the difference was statistically significant respectively (<italic>P</italic>&lt; 0.01); On day 3, 7 and 14 of treatment, there was significant difference in the change trend of different time points respectively (<italic>F</italic>_Time=81.920, <italic>P</italic>&lt; 0.001), the combined acupuncture group increased significantly on the 14th day of treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt; 0.01); MVD count had group×time obvious interaction (<italic>F</italic>_Interaction=44.960, <italic>P</italic>&lt; 0.001).
