Efficiency and accuracy of scheduling algorithms for final year project evaluation management system

Scheduling algorithms play a crucial role in optimizing the efficiency and precision of scheduling tasks, finding applications across various domains to enhance work productivity, reduce costs, and save time. This research paper conducts a comparative analysis of three algorithms: genetic algorithm, hill climbing algorithm, and particle swarm optimization algorithm, with a focus on evaluating their performance in scheduling presentations. The primary goal of this study is to assess the effectiveness of these algorithms and identify the most efficient one for handling presentation scheduling tasks, thereby minimizing the system's response time for generating schedules. The research takes into account various constraints, including evaluator availability, student and evaluator affiliations within research groups, and student-evaluator relationships where a student cannot be supervised by one of the evaluators. Considering these critical parameters and constraints, the algorithm assigns presentation slots, venues, and two evaluators to each student without encountering scheduling conflicts, ultimately producing a schedule based on the allocated slots for both students and evaluators

Effect of diatoms blooms to human health and environment / Nur Hafizah Hisham ... [et al.]

Diatoms are a type of phytoplankton, which are microorganisms that contain chlorophyll and require sunlight to live and grow. They are unicellular, and photosynthetic organisms of various colors, and diverse forms. Diatoms come under the kingdom Protista which is called as photosynthetic protists. Photosynthetic protists are mostly planktonic in which they grow and cover the surface of the water body and move on the mercy of water currents. Diatoms belong to the group of algae known as "hard algae" due to its silica frustule which is sometimes covered with spikes, thorns, or spines (Scotese, 2019). A frustule is the external, siliceous part of the diatom cell wall. Diatom blooms as shown in Figure 1 are dynamic system events in which some singlecelled photosynthetic organisms that can take advantage of both biotic and abiotic conditions becoe dominant. This is caused by a combination of high nutrient concentrations and elevated temperatures

The repercussions of the eutrophication phenomenon on human health and welfare / Siti Nur Shazwani Shukor … [et al.]

Eutrophication of water bodies is a peculiar environmental phenomenon and has become more prevalent, primarily because excessive input of nutrients into a watershed. Agriculture run off treated wastewater discharge from sewage treatment facilities, lawn fertilizers, and any other organic wastes, all contribute to this problem. In most cases, it encourages the growth of algae and other aquatic plants, resulting in harmful algae blooms (HABs), leading to a deterioration of quality and condition of natural waters, mostly in marine or coastal ecosystems

The red tide bloom effects on human health and welfare / Siti Nur Syifaa Jamaludin ... [et al.]

The oceans, a vast canvas of life, are home to an intricate world of microorganisms, among which the phytoplankton thrive. Within this diverse community, dinoflagellates, seemingly innocuous microscopic organisms, play a pivotal role. However, beneath their calm facade lies a phenomenon known as the infamous "red tide" blooms. These blooms, caused by the rapid multiplication of dinoflagellates, paint the water crimson, an eerie and captivating spectacle that signals both wonder and danger. But do you know that these dinoflagellate blooms have impacts on marine ecosystems and the concerning implications for human health as well as coastal communities? Let's unravel the mysteries surrounding these vivid blooms that cause disease to human health and welfare

Algae blooms: how can they be harmful to the ecosystem? / Nurshahirah Rahizar ... [et al.]

Algae bloom or algal bloom is an excessive growth of microscopic algae or algae-like bacteria in fresh, salt, or brackish water (Image 1). Algal blooms come in a variety of colors, such as pink, red, brown, yellow, and blue-green (Image 2). A paint-like slick, foam, froth, or bad-smelling scum can result from an algal bloom and it depends on the kind of bacteria or algae that caused it (Denchak, 2019). Not all algae blooms are toxic but a harmful algae bloom or HAB is a bloom that produces toxins. The toxin can be dangerous to humans and other organisms in aquatic ecosystems such as in oceans, ponds, lakes, and freshwater. According to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (2023), certain blooms are easy to identify while others are difficult to identify because they grow near the bottom of water bodies

The influence of the red tide phenomenon on human health and welfare / Nur Syawanie Abdul Aziz ... [et al.]

A phenomenon known as "red tide" describes a natural occurrence in which a high concentration or bloom of particular forms of marine algae in coastal or marine waters. Image 1 shows the discovery of red tide algae in coastal waters around Kota Kinabalu and Tuaran. Although the phrase "red tide" refers to a reddish-brown staining of the water, it can also appear as brown, green, or even blue tides depending on the type of algae involved. Red tide is primarily caused by specific algae, such as dinoflagellates and diatoms, growing quickly in favourable climatic conditions. Among the many factors contributing to red tides is nutrient enrichment. The overabundance of nutrients in the water, such as phosphate and nitrogen, might encourage the growth of algae. Numerous sources, including sewage discharge, agricultural runoff as shown in Image 2, and natural phenomena like upwelling, can provide these nutrients. Besides that, plenty of harmful algal species favour warm water conditions

Plankton is a collection of drifting and floating organisms in water that cannot move against currents or winds (Britannica, 2023). There are several types of plankton. Usually, plankton can be identified based on its size, type, and duration of drifting. It can be observed under the microscope. There are two basic groups of plankton which are phytoplankton (plants) and zooplankton (animals). Phytoplankton are microscopic marine algae. This phytoplankton has chlorophyll and needs light for its growth development
