Article Synopsis
  • Mixing cement-based materials for optimal workability is a complex and labor-intensive process, which can be streamlined using AI techniques.
  • Experimental tests produced a dataset of 233 samples focused on key workability factors like fluidity and viscosity, using various material inputs including cement and additives.
  • Machine learning models, specifically enhanced versions like PSO-based CatBoost and XGBoost, were developed to predict workability metrics, with additional analysis to understand how each input affects these properties.

Article Synopsis
  • The World Health Organization (WHO) aims to eliminate schistosomiasis globally by 2030, with chemical control of the Bulinus snail species being a key strategy for reducing transmission on Pemba Island, Tanzania.
