Introduction to water quality modeling

In recent years water pollution control and water quality management strategies are gaining prominence in developed as well as developing countries in the wake of global environmental scenarios like resource depletion, climate shifts, population pressure and last not the least, increased public awareness. In spite of all the efforts taken by the research community and governmental agencies, water quality is deteriorating in many areas around the globe. Access to safe water is a basic human right. According to UNICEF, water related diseases caused by insufficient safe water supplies coupled with poor sanitation and hygiene cause 3.4 million deaths a year, mostly among children [1]. More stringent regulations are mandatory in keeping the water quality for its sustainable utilization, as water is one of the major players in a development perspective

Citations of the Top 100 Most-cited Papers of the Journal Scientometrics in Web of Science and its Association and Correlation with Scopus and Google Scholar Citations

This study is conducted to analyse the citations of the top 100 most-cited papers of the journal Scientometrics in Web of Science (WoS) and its association and correlation with corresponding citations in Scopus and Google Scholar (GS). Chi-square and Spearman’s rank rho are used to ascertain the association and correlation among these citations in different platforms. GS citations for the papers are comparatively higher than the citations in the other two databases. Scopus citations are slightly higher than WoS citations. The study found that there is significant association among level of citations of top 100 cited papers of the journal Scientometrics in WoS and its corresponding level of citations in Scopus and Google Scholar and also high positive correlation among citations in the three databases

Next Generation Data Warehouse Design with Big data for Big Analytics and Better Insights

Traditionally organizations invested more in decision support systems. With the evolution of business intelligence tools many organizations were able to get analytical reports based on OLAP systems. Now with the frequently changing trends in customer behaviour and customer markets there is a huge necessity for enterprises to get analytical reports beyond OLAP system based analysis. There is huge innovation in the area of hardware and software which helps enterprises to gain advantage of all available formats of data and help enterprise to get business insights based on that data. Big data is one of the key factors to be focused which can help to get real time analytics on all available formats of data. This document presents the overview of the next generation data warehouse architecture based on Big data for better business insights
