Increasing waste generation has become a significant issue over the globe due to the rapid increase in urbanization and industrialization. In the literature, many issues that have a direct impact on the increase of waste and the improper disposal of waste have been investigated. Most of the existing work in the literature has focused on providing a cost-efficient solution for the monitoring of garbage collection system using the Internet of Things (IoT). Though an IoT-based solution provides the real-time monitoring of a garbage collection system, it is limited to control the spreading of overspill and bad odor blowout gasses. The poor and inadequate disposal of waste produces toxic gases, and radiation in the environment has adverse effects on human health, the greenhouse system, and global warming. While considering the importance of air pollutants, it is imperative to monitor and forecast the concentration of air pollutants in addition to the management of the waste. In this paper, we present and IoT-based smart bin using a machine and deep learning model to manage the disposal of garbage and to forecast the air pollutant present in the surrounding bin environment. The smart bin is connected to an IoT-based server, the Google Cloud Server (GCP), which performs the computation necessary for predicting the status of the bin and for forecasting air quality based on real-time data. We experimented with a traditional model (k-nearest neighbors algorithm (k-NN) and logistic reg) and a non-traditional (long short term memory (LSTM) network-based deep learning) algorithm for the creation of alert messages regarding bin status and forecasting the amount of air pollutant carbon monoxide (CO) present in the air at a specific instance. The recalls of logistic regression and k-NN algorithm is 79% and 83%, respectively, in a real-time testing environment for predicting the status of the bin. The accuracy of modified LSTM and simple LSTM models is 90% and 88%, respectively, to predict the future concentration of gases present in the air. The system resulted in a delay of 4 s in the creation and transmission of the alert message to a sanitary worker. The system provided the real-time monitoring of garbage levels along with notifications from the alert mechanism. The proposed works provide improved accuracy by utilizing machine learning as compared to existing solutions based on simple approaches.

ABSTRACT In astronomy, the demand for high-resolution imaging and high-efficiency observation requires telescopes that are maintained at peak performance. To improve telescope performance, it is useful to conduct real-time monitoring of the telescope status and detailed recordings of the operational data of the telescope. In this paper, we provide a method based on machine learning to monitor the telescope performance in real-time. First, we use picture features and the random forest algorithm to select normal pictures captured by the acquisition camera or science camera. Next, we cut out the source image of the picture and use convolutional neural networks to recognize star shapes. Finally, we monitor the telescope performance based on the relationship between the source image shape and telescope performance. Through this method, we achieve high-performance real-time monitoring with the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fibre Spectroscopic Telescope, including guiding system performance, focal surface defocus, submirror performance, and active optics system performance. The ultimate performance detection accuracy can reach up to 96.7 per cent.

Water quality estimation tools based on real-time monitoring are essential for the effective management of organic pollution in watersheds. This study aims to monitor changes in the levels of chemical oxygen demand (COD, CODMn) and dissolved organic matter (DOM) in Erhai Lake Basin, exploring their relationships and the ability of DOM to estimate COD and CODMn. Excitation emission matrix–parallel factor analysis (EEM–PARAFAC) of DOM identified protein-like component (C1) and humic-like components (C2, C3, C4). Combined with random forest (RF), maximum fluorescence intensity (Fmax) values of components were selected as estimation parameters to establish models. Results proved that the COD of rivers was more sensitive to the reduction in C1 and C2, while CODMn was more sensitive to C4. The DOM of Erhai Lake thrived by internal sources, and the relationship between COD, CODMn, and DOM of Erhai Lake was more complicated than rivers (inflow rivers of Erhai Lake). Models for rivers achieved good estimations, and by adding dissolved oxygen and water temperature, the estimation ability of COD models for Erhai Lake was significantly improved. This study demonstrates that DOM-based machine learning can be used as an alternative tool for real-time monitoring of organic pollution and deepening the understanding of the relationship between COD, CODMn, and DOM, and provide a scientific basis for water quality management.

AC drives are employed in process industries for varying applications resulting in a wide range of ratings. The entire process industry has seen a paradigm shift from manual to automated systems. The major factor contributing to this is the advanced power electronics technology enabling power electronic drives for smooth control of electric motors. Induction motors are most commonly used in industries. Faults in the power electronic circuits may occur periodically. These faults often go unnoticed as they rarely cause a complete shutdown and the fault levels may not be large enough to lead to a breakdown of the drive. An early detection of these faults is required to prevent their escalation into major faults. The diagnostic tool for detection of faults requires real time monitoring of the entire drive. In this work, detailed investigation of different faults that can occur in the power electronic circuit of an industrial drive is carried out. Analysis and impact of faults on the performance of the induction motor is presented. A real time monitoring platform is proposed to detect and classify the fault accurately using machine learning. A diagnostic tool also is developed to display the severity and location of the fault to the operator to take corrective measures.

Biomarkers of disease progression and treatment response are urgently needed for patients with lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). Activity-based nanosensors, an emerging biosensor class, detect dysregulated proteases in vivo and release a reporter to provide a urinary readout of disease. Because proteases are dysregulated in LAM and may directly contribute to lung function decline, activity-based nanosensors may enable quantitative, real-time monitoring of LAM progression and treatment response. We aimed to assess the diagnostic utility of activity-based nanosensors in a preclinical model of pulmonary LAM.Tsc2-null cells were injected intravenously into female nude mice to establish a mouse model of pulmonary LAM. A library of 14 activity-based nanosensors, designed to detect proteases across multiple catalytic classes, was administered into the lungs of LAM mice and healthy controls, urine was collected, and mass spectrometry was performed to measure nanosensor cleavage products. Mice were then treated with rapamycin and monitored with activity-based nanosensors. Machine learning was performed to distinguish diseased from healthy and treated from untreated mice.Multiple activity-based nanosensors [PP03 (cleaved by metallo, aspartic, and cysteine proteases), padj<0.0001; PP10 (cleaved by serine, aspartic, and cysteine proteases), padj=0.017)] were differentially cleaved in diseased and healthy lungs, enabling strong classification with a machine learning model (AUC=0.95 from healthy). Within two days after rapamycin initiation, we observed normalisation of PP03 and PP10 cleavage, and machine learning enabled accurate classification of treatment response (AUC=0.94 from untreated).Activity-based nanosensors enable noninvasive, real-time monitoring of disease burden and treatment response in a preclinical model of LAM.
