Groundwater and Surface Water Quality Status and Its Spatial and Seasonal Fluctuation in Amibara irrigated area of Ethiopia [ ]


Irrigated agriculture is a major human activity, which often leads to secondary salinization of land and water resources in arid and semi-arid conditions. Soil salinity is an enormous problem for agriculture under irrigation as it affects the growth and development of plants in Ethiopia; the problem is widespread in the rift valley areas where middle Awash and Amibara irrigated farms are present. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate spatial variability and seasonal fluctuation of ground and surface water quality. Based on the existing piezometers points, additional ground water monitoring holes were repaired and installed at the previous points. Totally, about thirty monitoring piezometers were used in this study, which are found in both Fluvisols and Vertisols areas.

Review on Pen-Side Tests: Prospects in Animal Disease Diagnosis and Eradication Program[ ]


Infectious animal diseases have a great economic and public health impact in developed and developing countries of the world. Thus, early detection for early intervention as well as strategic prevention and control for successful eradication needs rapid and efficient diagnosis tests. Thus, this paper reviews the available pen-side tests and their features in veterinary disease diagnosis and eradication programs. Human and veterinary doctors use diagnosis that ranges from physical diagnosis to sophisticated molecular techniques to reach a reliable conclusion. However, these diagnostic techniques either conventional or modern have limitations in terms of time, cost, availability, portability, ease of use, and effectiveness. Nowadays, different pathogen or disease-specific pen-side tests have been developing to overcome such limitations.

A novel feature selection method in IDS system using Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm and Support Vector Machine for Smart grid Communication network[ ]


Intrusion detection is a major security concern in neighborhood area network of smart grid. Intrusion detection system uses classifiers for detection purpose and it suffers from the irrelevant and noisy features of network traffic. Feature selection enhances the attack detection by selecting the most informative features of network traffic as input. In this paper, the task of identifying the relevant features is represented as multi-objective optimization problem with maximization of accuracy and minimization of number of informative features as objectives. This optimization problem is solved by applying Multi-objective genetic algorithm. In this work, the Support vector machine used with the optimization algorithm for the selection of diverse pareto optimal solutions. The proposed system was evaluated by the standard UNSW_NB15 dataset. The simulation results show that the proposed system finds multiple efficient solutions with high accuracy and less number of informative features and is suitable for the application of intrusion detection.
