Brain mr image enhancement for tumor segmentation using 3d u-net
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
MRI images are visually inspected by domain experts for the analysis and quantification of the tumorous tissues. Due to the large volumetric data, manual reporting on the images is subjective, cumbersome, and error prone. ...
Reliable tuberculosis detection using chest X-ray with deep learning, segmentation and visualization
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2020 , Article)
Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic lung disease that occurs due to bacterial infection and is one of the top 10 leading causes of death. Accurate and early detection of TB is very important, otherwise, it could be life-threatening. ...
Performance of the pressure assisted forward osmosis-msf hybrid desalination plant
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
An osmotically driven membrane process was proposed for seawater pretreatment in a multi-stage flashing (MSF) thermal plant. Brine reject from the MSF plant was the draw solution (DS) in the forward osmosis (FO) process ...
Optimization of magnetic nanoparticles draw solution for high water flux in forward osmosis
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
In this study, bare iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using a co-precipitation method and used as a draw solute in forward osmosis. The synthesis conditions of the nanoparticles were optimized using the Box-Behnken ...
An enhanced electrocoagulation process for the removal of fe and mn from municipal wastewater using dielectrophoresis (Dep)
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
In this study the removal of Fe and Mn from primary treated municipal wastewater using a new electrode configuration in electrocoagulation was evaluated. The used electrode configuration induced a dielectrophoretic (DEP) ...
Modeling and sensitivity analysis of the forward osmosis process to predict membrane flux using a novel combination of neural network and response surface methodology techniques
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
The forward osmosis (FO) process is an emerging technology that has been considered as an alternative to desalination due to its low energy consumption and less severe reversible fouling. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) ...
A novel electrocoagulation electrode configuration for the removal of total organic carbon from primary treated municipal wastewater
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
In this paper, the removal of total organic carbon (TOC) from a primary treated municipal wastewater using a new electrode configuration in electrocoagulation was evaluated. The used electrode configuration induces a ...
Discrepancy in the Critical State Void Ratio of Poorly Graded Sand due to Shear Strain Localization
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2020 , Article)
The critical state (CS) concept is a theoretical framework that models the constitutive behavior of soils, including sand and other granular materials. It supports the notion of a unique postfailure state, where the soil ...
New model for estimating geometric tortuosity of variably saturated porous media using 3D synchrotron microcomputed tomography imaging
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2021 , Article)
Tortuosity has a significantimpact on flow and transport characteristics of porous media and plays a major role in many applications such as enhanced oil recovery, contaminant transport in aquifers, and fuel cells. Most ...
Enhancement of Naphthalene Degradation by a Sequential Sulfate Injection Scenario in a (Semi)-Arid Coastal Soil: a Flow-Through Reactor Experiment
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Engineered sulfate injection has been introduced as an effective technology to enhance the remediation of soil and groundwater contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbons. While some studies indicate that sulfate injection is ...
