Spatiotemporal distribution of indoor particulate matter concentration with a low-cost sensor network

TL;DR: In this article, a wireless network of low-cost particle sensors that can be deployed indoors was developed to overcome the well-known limitations of low sensitivity and poor signal quality associated with low cost sensors, a sliding window and a low pass filter were developed to enhance the signal quality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sensing mechanism of ethanol and acetone at room temperature by SnO2 nano-columns synthesized by aerosol routes: theoretical calculations compared to experimental results

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of surface oxygen defects, polarity of the VOC molecule, and pre-adsorbed oxygen species from the ambient atmosphere is explored in the sensing mechanism of SnO2 sensors to detect various gases, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), at room temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Water quality modeling in the dead end sections of drinking water distribution networks

TL;DR: This study proposes a new approach for simulating disinfectant residuals in dead end pipes while accounting for both spatial and temporal variability in hydraulic and transport parameters, and shows better agreement with field-measured concentrations of conservative fluoride tracer and free chlorine disinfectant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Investigating the role of biofilms in trihalomethane formation in water distribution systems with a multicomponent model

TL;DR: Under system conditions that promoted fast bacterial re-growth, the transformation of non-microbial into microbial carbon DBP precursors by the biofilms showed a noticeable effect on the kinetics of THMs formation, especially when a high initial chlorine dose was applied.
