3rd June 2020 : How to measure the Reliability and Probability of Failure of Hydraulic Structures : Any design of hydraulic structure requires the approximation of reliability and probability of failure factors which are calculated based on the load and resistance offered or can be offered on a proposed hydro power dam.The following presentation tries to introduce the basic concept of calculating reliability and failure probability of hydraulic structures.
30th May 2020 : How to detect outliers from a big set of data ? Among the methods of data analysis,outlier detection is a method where abnormality/extremity within a data set is detected and removed such that a regular trend can be easily detected from the collected data set. The regular trend helps to map the goal of research with its outcome.Click here to watch the tutorial.

5G can help in remote water monitoring
(News,Shared): In a recent article by Nicola Brittain while highlighting 10 ways to use 5G networks she explained the use of 5g in remote water monitoring. This network can facilitate in leak detection in pipelines,water use monitoring,soil moisture detection etc...She also highlights 9 other use of 5g networks in her article published in 5gRadar.
Smart use of Water and Energy in domestic households
(HowTo,Original) :How to optimally utilize the water supplied to domestic households such that both water and energy used in running the supply pumps can be conserved. The proposed "sensor based network of sub-tanks" can help to reduce the wastage of water and the introduction of purifier at the inlet to the pump will save energy which is otherwise wasted due to core losses of the pump...Click here to view the tutorial.Remember to give your comments.

Invitation to Act as a Reviewer for a special issue of Journal of Water and Energy Nexus :
I will like to invite my readers to act as a reviewer of the articles submitted for possible publication in the special issue entitled "Optimization of Water Energy Nexus by Soft Computation and Hierarchical Decision Making Methods" in the Journal of Water and Energy Nexus.
This journal is a new journal which is published from Energy in Style Publishers.Although this is a new journal but it is not a paid or predatory journal and perform extensive peer reviews before allowing an article to be published in the journal. The abstract and keyword of the special issue can be accessed in Journal Home Page.(*You can post your "Invitation to Review" if you are a paid subscriber of this portal or paid member of the Water,Energy and Informatics Group)
Invitation to Collaborate :
A project is proposed to look into the "Impact of Lockdown due to COVID 19 in India on amount of Water used in Thermal Power Plants".The study aims to locate the point of vulnerabilities and will analyse their sensitivity to the lock down period. It will also aim to detect the major factors which can be modulated for optimal performance of the power plant with minimum consequence to water resources of the location.PG or PhD scholars or faculty members working in the field of water and energy management or water-energy nexus or operation research can collaborate. If interested click here or you may contact the PI of the project.(*You can post your "Invitation to Collaborate" if you are a paid subscriber of this portal or paid member of the Water,Energy and Informatics Group)

Two tutorials on training the weights of Artificial Neural Network
Description : This is a presentation which introduces two new difficult training algorithms for weight updation in neural network model development.Conjugate Gradient Descent and Newton's Method was described and its application was explained in step by step manner.Click here to see the presentation.
Feedback required for another tutorial : Quasi Newton Training Algorithm for Artificial Neural Networks(QNANN)
Description : QNANN is an algorithm which are used for update of weights of the neural networks. These algorithms are also known as training algorithm and is known to be popular enough as a technique to optimize the accuracy of neural network. In this presentation the two important techniques for weight update of neural networks at the time of training.

How to select a "photo editing software" ?
Photo editing software is a tool to edit your photos. Often it is required to either resize or transform the image format or convert the same into different colour of the image.Many people use such software to enhance their photos for better presentability. Some use it for fun and some other will use it to send specific message. Nowadays such software are also used for different image processing related research works also. As usual there are many alternatives and it is often a difficult task to select the best out of them. Following points can help you in this regard:....Read the complete article in our blog.

Invitation for Collaboration : Impact of Lockdown and Urbanization on Water Filter Production
The "Impact of Lockdown and Urbanization on Water Filter Production" can be one of the most important topic of research related to water reuse in the coming decade. According to Falkenmark's Water Stress Indicator,a region is said to be water scarce if per capita water availability is less than 5000 cubic m. Again availability of water will imply not only the quantity but also the quality of water available.
The water must be qualitatively suitable for consumption.Otherwise, it will not be added to water resources potential of a region.
In the last few years due to large scale and rapid urbanization, there is an immense stress on the "available water"....Read the complete invitation.(*You can post your "Invitation to Collaborate" if you are a paid subscriber of this portal or paid member of the Water,Energy and Informatics Group)
