Outbreaks of cholera were declared soon after both cyclones in Beira and Pemba cities. In response to the emergencies and outbreaks, government and humanitarian partners collaborated to create a mobile phone based water quality monitoring program to monitor daily free residual chlorine (FRC) levels in the piped network in both locations and at accommodation centers created for internally displaced persons in Beira. Overall, 87% of the 1080 samples from the piped network in Beira had detectable FRC and at accommodation centers, 73% of the 179 samples collected had detectable FRC. In Pemba, 64% of the 114 total samples collected had detectable FRC. Data from the water quality monitoring programs allowed for the identification of trends that helped increase the effectiveness of the response, including identifying areas where chlorination could be strengthened with the installation of booster chlorinators, issues with the consistency of daily chlorine treatment, and sites where water availability was limited. The water quality monitoring activities were a result of productive collaboration and could be replicated after similar emergencies in cholera endemic areas to prevent and control outbreaks.展开更多

In Nigeria, the suboptimal performances of these instruments are attributed to inadequate maintenance practices, insufficient calibration, and limited awareness of proper equipment handling for optimal use. This study assesses the current practices related to the optimal use, maintenance, repair, and calibration of radiation detection equipment across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones. Using a cross-sectional survey approach, data were collected from Ninety (90) radiation monitoring equipment operators, Radiation Safety Officers, and frontline responders to evaluate their knowledge, awareness, and practices concerning equipment usage, operation, storage, handling, and calibration. The findings reveal significant gaps in knowledge of usage (trained is 43.2%, not trained is 56.8%) and inconsistencies in maintenance practices (as indicated by the regression analysis (β = 0.51, p < 0.01), particularly regarding specialized instruments such as the PackEye, Mobile Detection System (MDS), Radionuclide Identifinder (RID), and Personal Radiation Detectors (PRD). While there is high awareness of the need for regular calibration and handling training, the lack of standardized protocols and training alignment poses challenges to the effective use of these instruments. This study underscores the importance of comprehensive training programs, standardized maintenance protocols, and enhanced awareness initiatives to optimize the usage, performance and safety of radiation monitoring instruments in Nigeria.展开更多

Utilizing satellite imagery and aerial data, remote sensing allows researchers to assess the health and extent of mangrove forests over large areas and time periods, providing insights into changes due to environmental stressors like climate change, urbanization, and deforestation. Coupled with web-based platforms, this technology facilitates real-time data sharing and collaborative research efforts among scientists, policymakers, and conservationists. Thus, there is a need to grow this research interest among experts working in this kind of ecosystem. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive literature review on the effective role of remote sensing and web-based platform in monitoring mangrove ecosystem. The research paper utilized the thematic approach to extract specific information to use in the discussion which helped realize the efficiency of digital monitoring for the environment. Web-based platforms and remote sensing represent a powerful tool for environmental monitoring, particularly in the context of forest ecosystems. They facilitate the accessibility of vital data, promote collaboration among stakeholders, support evidence-based policymaking, and engage communities in conservation efforts. As experts confront the urgent challenges posed by climate change and environmental degradation, leveraging technology through web-based platforms is essential for fostering a sustainable future for the forests of the world.
文摘In early 2019, Mozambique was struck by two cyclones, Cyclone Idai in Sofala Province and Cyclone Kenneth in Cabo Delgado Province. Outbreaks of cholera were declared soon after both cyclones in Beira and Pemba cities. In response to the emergencies and outbreaks, government and humanitarian partners collaborated to create a mobile phone based water quality monitoring program to monitor daily free residual chlorine (FRC) levels in the piped network in both locations and at accommodation centers created for internally displaced persons in Beira. Overall, 87% of the 1080 samples from the piped network in Beira had detectable FRC and at accommodation centers, 73% of the 179 samples collected had detectable FRC. In Pemba, 64% of the 114 total samples collected had detectable FRC. Data from the water quality monitoring programs allowed for the identification of trends that helped increase the effectiveness of the response, including identifying areas where chlorination could be strengthened with the installation of booster chlorinators, issues with the consistency of daily chlorine treatment, and sites where water availability was limited. The water quality monitoring activities were a result of productive collaboration and could be replicated after similar emergencies in cholera endemic areas to prevent and control outbreaks.

文摘Addressing the current challenges in transforming pixel displacement into physical displacement in visual monitoring technologies,as well as the inability to achieve precise full-field monitoring,this paper proposes a method for identifying the structural dynamic characteristics of wind turbines based on visual monitoring data fusion.Firstly,the Lucas-Kanade Tomasi(LKT)optical flow method and a multi-region of interest(ROI)monitoring structure are employed to track pixel displacements,which are subsequently subjected to band pass filtering and resampling operations.Secondly,the actual displacement time history is derived through double integration of the acquired acceleration data and subsequent band pass filtering.The scale factor is obtained by applying the least squares method to compare the visual displacement with the displacement derived from double integration of the acceleration data.Based on this,the multi-point displacement time histories under physical coordinates are obtained using the vision data and the scale factor.Subsequently,when visual monitoring of displacements becomes impossible due to issues such as image blurring or lens occlusion,the structural vibration equation and boundary condition constraints,among other key parameters,are employed to predict the displacements at unknown monitoring points,thereby enabling full-field displacement monitoring and dynamic characteristic testing of the structure.Finally,a small-scale shaking table test was conducted on a simulated wind turbine structure undergoing shutdown to validate the dynamic characteristics of the proposed method through test verification.The research results indicate that the proposed method achieves a time-domain error within the submillimeter range and a frequency-domain accuracy of over 99%,effectively monitoring the full-field structural dynamic characteristics of wind turbines and providing a basis for the condition assessment of wind turbine structures.
文摘Due to the existing“island”state of psychological and behavioral data,there is no way for anyone to access students’psychological and behavioral histories.This limits the comprehensive understanding and effective intervention of college students’mental health status.Therefore,this article constructs an artificial intelligence-based psychological health and intervention system for college students.Firstly,this article obtains psychological health testing data of college students through online platforms or on-campus system design,distribution of questionnaires,feedback from close contacts of students,and internal campus resources.Then,the architecture of a mental health monitoring system is designed.Its overall architecture includes a data collection layer,a data processing layer,a decision tree algorithm layer,and an evaluation display layer.The system uses the C4.5 decision tree algorithm to calculate the information gain of the processed sample data,selects the attribute with the maximum value,and constructs a decision tree structure model to evaluate students’mental health.Finally,this article studies the evaluation of students’mental health status by combining multidimensional information such as the SCL-90 scale,self-assessment scale,and student behavior data.Experimental data shows that the system can effectively identify students’mental health problems and provide precise intervention measures based on their situation,with high accuracy and practicality.
文摘The response and performance of radiation detectors for accurate measurements and effective use for radiological safety in medical, industrial, and nuclear sectors are based on the optimal use, maintenance, repair and calibration of radiation monitoring instruments in a secondary standard dosimetry laboratory. In Nigeria, the suboptimal performances of these instruments are attributed to inadequate maintenance practices, insufficient calibration, and limited awareness of proper equipment handling for optimal use. This study assesses the current practices related to the optimal use, maintenance, repair, and calibration of radiation detection equipment across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones. Using a cross-sectional survey approach, data were collected from Ninety (90) radiation monitoring equipment operators, Radiation Safety Officers, and frontline responders to evaluate their knowledge, awareness, and practices concerning equipment usage, operation, storage, handling, and calibration. The findings reveal significant gaps in knowledge of usage (trained is 43.2%, not trained is 56.8%) and inconsistencies in maintenance practices (as indicated by the regression analysis (β = 0.51, p < 0.01), particularly regarding specialized instruments such as the PackEye, Mobile Detection System (MDS), Radionuclide Identifinder (RID), and Personal Radiation Detectors (PRD). While there is high awareness of the need for regular calibration and handling training, the lack of standardized protocols and training alignment poses challenges to the effective use of these instruments. This study underscores the importance of comprehensive training programs, standardized maintenance protocols, and enhanced awareness initiatives to optimize the usage, performance and safety of radiation monitoring instruments in Nigeria.

文摘Monitoring of the mechanical behavior of underwater shield tunnels is vital for ensuring their long-term structural stability.Typically determined by empirical or semi-empirical methods,the limited number of monitoring points and coarse monitoring schemes pose huge challenges in terms of capturing the complete mechanical state of the entire structure.Therefore,with the aim of optimizing the monitoring scheme,this study introduces a spatial deduction model for the stress distribution of the overall structure using a machine learning algorithm.Initially,clustering experiments were performed on a numerical data set to determine the typical positions of structural mechanical responses.Subsequently,supervised learning methods were applied to derive the data information across the entire surface by using the data from these typical positions,which allows flexibility in the number and combinations of these points.According to the evaluation results of the model under various conditions,the optimized number of monitoring points and their locations are determined.Experimental findings suggest that an excessive number of monitoring points results in information redundancy,thus diminishing the deduction capability.The primary positions for monitoring points are determined as the spandrel and hance of the tunnel structure,with the arch crown and inch arch serving as additional positions to enhance the monitoring network.Compared with common methods,the proposed model shows significantly improved characterization abilities,establishing its reliability for optimizing the monitoring scheme.

文摘In 2022,the Russian Federation commenced development of a national system for permafrost monitoring.The conceptual design of this system reflects three objectives:(1)to collect data on the impact of climate change on permafrost,(2)to provide data for evaluation of climate-permafrost feedback,and(3)to provide input to a model-based permafrost data assimilation system.It is intended that the system will eventually consist of 30 active layer monitoring sites and 140 boreholes situated near existing weather stations.As of October 2024,the network comprised 38 sites spanning from the High Arctic islands to the Altai Mountains and across western and eastern Siberia.Among these sites,the lowest recorded temperature at the depth of zero annual amplitude is-11.3℃and the minimum active layer thickness is 0.3 m,as observed on the New Siberian Archipelago.In most boreholes,a positive vertical temperature gradient exists below the depth of zero annual amplitude,indicative of ongoing warming of the upper permafrost layer attributable to climate change.The annual maximum active layer thickness is observed in September with only two exceptions:at the High Arctic sites on Franz Josef Land and Wiese Island and in the low-latitude Sayan Mountain region,where maximum thawing is observed at the end of August.Talik was found in boreholes in Salekhard and Altai where the upper boundary of the permafrost is located at depth of 6-10 m.

文摘Agricultural drought,characterized by insufficient soil moisture crucial for crop growth,poses significant chal lenges to food security and economic sustainability,particularly in water-scarce regions like Senegal.This study addresses this issue by developing a comprehensive geospatial monitoring system for agricultural drought using the Regional Hydrologic Extremes Assessment System(RHEAS).This system,with a high-resolution of 0.05°,effectively simulates daily soil moisture and generates the Soil Moisture Deficit Index(SMDI)-based agricultural drought monitoring.The SMDI derived from the RHEAS has effectively captured historical droughts in Senegal over the recent 30 years period from 1993 to 2022.The SMDI,also provides a comprehensive understanding of regional variations in drought severity(S),duration(D),and frequency(F),through S-D-F analysis to identify key drought hotspots across Senegal.Findings reveal a distinct north-south gradient in drought conditions,with the northern and central Senegal experiencing more frequent and severe droughts.The study highlights that Senegal experiences frequent short-duration droughts with high severity,resulting in extensive spatial impact.Addition ally,increasing trends in drought severity and duration suggest evolving climate change effects.These findings emphasize the urgent need for sustainable interventions to mitigate drought impacts on agricultural productiv ity.Specifically,the study identifies recurrent and intense drought hotspots affecting yields of staple crops like maize and rice,as well as cash crops like peanuts.The developed high-resolution drought monitoring system for Senegal not only identifies hotspots but also enables prioritizing sustainable approaches and adaptive strategies,ultimately sustaining agricultural productivity and resilience in Senegal’s drought-prone regions.

文摘Recent advancements in passive wireless sensor technology have significantly extended the application scope of sensing,particularly in challenging environments for monitoring industry and healthcare applications.These systems are equipped with battery-free operation,wireless connectivity,and are designed to be both miniaturized and lightweight.Such features enable the safe,real-time monitoring of industrial environments and support high-precision physiological measurements in confined internal body spaces and on wearable epidermal devices.Despite the exploration into diverse application environments,the development of a systematic and comprehensive research framework for system architecture remains elusive,which hampers further optimization of these systems.This review,therefore,begins with an examination of application scenarios,progresses to evaluate current system architectures,and discusses the function of each component—specifically,the passive sensor module,the wireless communication model,and the readout module—within the context of key implementations in target sensing systems.Furthermore,we present case studies that demonstrate the feasibility of proposed classified components for sensing scenarios,derived from this systematic approach.By outlining a research trajectory for the application of passive wireless systems in sensing technologies,this paper aims to establish a foundation for more advanced,user-friendly applications.

文摘To tackle the issue of notch frequency and center frequency drift of the L(0,1)mode guided wave in ultra⁃sonic guided wave⁃based stress monitoring of prestressed steel strands,a method using higher⁃order mode plateau fre⁃quencies is adopted.First,the correlation between group velocity peaks and phase velocities at these plateau frequen⁃cies is analyzed.This analysis establishes a quantitative rela⁃tionship between phase velocity and stress in the steel strand,providing a theoretical foundation for stress monitor⁃ing.Then the two⁃dimensional Fourier transform is em⁃ployed to separate wave modes.Dynamic programming techniques are applied in the frequency⁃velocity domain to extract higher⁃order modes.By identifying the group veloc⁃ity peaks of these separated higher⁃order modes,the plateau frequencies of guided waves are determined,enabling indi⁃rect measurement of stress in the steel strand.To validate this method,finite element simulations are conducted under three scenarios.Results show that the higher⁃order modes of transient signals from three different positions can be ac⁃curately extracted,leading to successful cable stress moni⁃toring.This approach effectively circumvents the issue of guided wave frequency drift and improves stress monitoring accuracy.Consequently,it significantly improves the appli⁃cation of ultrasonic guided wave technology in structural health monitoring.

文摘Real-time identification of rock strength and cuttability based on monitoring while cutting during excavation is essential for key procedures such as the precise adjustment of excavation parameters and the in-situ modification of hard rocks.This study proposes an in-telligent approach for predicting rock strength and cuttability.A database comprising 132 data sets is established,containing cutting para-meters(such as cutting depth and pick angle),cutting responses(such as specific energy and instantaneous cutting rate),and rock mech-anical parameters collected from conical pick-cutting experiments.These parameters serve as input features for predicting the uniaxial compressive strength and tensile strength of rocks using regression fitting and machine learning methodologies.In addition,rock cuttabil-ity is classified using a combination of the analytic hierarchy process and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method,and subsequently iden-tified through machine learning approaches.Various models are compared to determine the optimal predictive and classification models.The results indicate that the optimal model for uniaxial compressive strength and tensile strength prediction is the genetic algorithm-optimized backpropagation neural network model,and the optimal model for rock cuttability classification is the radial basis neural network model.
