Machine Learning Models for Scheduling On-Demand Fog Placement and Optimizing Container Deployment by Farhat, Peter

“…The proposed technique learns the intensity of service invocations and behavior of end devices at different locations over time for predicting the localization plan. Second, we propose a K-Means based clustering model embedded within a multi-objective optimization scheme for fog and container placement. …”

Processing Effects on the Oxytetracycline and Tylosin Antibiotic Residues in Middle Eastern Dairy Products by Saidy, Liz

“…Curding step had a significant (p=0.028) effect on OTC only with the concentration increasing by almost 1.5 folds. Acidification and heating of whey to produce Double Cream decreased significantly (p=0.037) OTC concentration by 14.7 to 46.3%, while TYL concentration increased significantly (p=0.000) by 300%. …”

A Comprehensive Method of Ion Exchange Resins Regeneration and Its Optimization for Water Treatment by Al-Asheh, Sameer

“…Water conductivity, as an indicator of regeneration efficiency, was monitored over time at the different conditions and scenario. In general, it was observed that the conductivity decreases with time until one point is reached and then starts to increase as a result of resin saturation. …”
