DMA Based Physical Water Loss Management and Infrastructure Leakage Index Analysis in Asian Side of Istanbul by Mehmet Melih Koşucu

“…For the years 2023 and 2024, flow data obtained from SCADA measurements were used to analyze the minimum flow values occurring at night and to estimate the level of water losses. By reducing the average inlet pressure of the DMA from 65 m to 60 m together with active leakage control (acoustic listening and pipe repair), the water loss rate was reduced from 29.8 % to 18.9 %. …”

Prediction of energy consumption in four sectors using support vector regression optimized with genetic algorithm by Md. Sadikul Hasan, Md. Tarequzzaman, Md. Moznuzzaman, Md Abdul Ahad Juel

“…This paper unveils a genetic algorithm (GA)-optimized support vector regression (SVR) model designed to (i) predict electricity generation, (ii) predict energy consumption in four primary sectors—residential, industrial, commercial, and agricultural, and (iii) estimate sector-specific carbon emissions. The proposed model's efficacy is assessed by calculating the R2 value, mean absolute error (MAE), root mean squared error (RMSE), and residual plot. …”

New insights in large-pores mesoporous silica microspheres for hemostatic application by Sara Saber Younes Mohamed, Roberta Cavalli, Elisabetta Rombi, Luciano Atzori, Marco Armandi, Barbara Onida

“…In fact, being the water adsorption on the material surface a crucial factor in the hemostatic activity, microcalorimetry was used for the first time to study the adsorption of water and estimate its heat of adsorption. The data obtained showed that the modified MSM presents a surface able to adsorb a higher amount of water, compared to the pristine MSM, with a low molar heat of adsorption (about 35 kJ/mol), which renders the modified MSM presented in the present study an excellent candidate for producing novel hemostats. …”
