Arsenic responsible for gallbladder cancer ?

Arsenic responsible for gallbladder cancer ?



In a recent study, it was found that "chronic arsenic exposure in drinking water even at low-moderate levels can cause...Gall Bladder Cancer(GBC)". Assam and Bihar are two states in the country that report maximum GBC cases and they have maximum Arsenic load in groundwater or tubewell water that they consume. 

This link between GBC cases and the amount of Arsenic in water imbibes the conclusion that the more Arsenic more will be the risk of GBC. 

The study area was Assam and Bihar where a load of Arsenic varies from 10g/l to even 1500g/l.

The sample population used in the study has a residential time span of 15 to 70 years which ensures minimum to maximum exposure to the groundwater of the area.

When the Arsenic load is 1.3 to 8.9g/l risk of GBC is two times whereas when the load is 9.1 to 448.3g/l the risk is 2.4 times.

But the point here is for a change in Arsenic concentration from 8.9 to 448.3g/l (i.e.,49.37 times) the cases of GBC rose by  20%. Is this sensitivity sufficient to analyze the conclusion of the study?

Seven Most Tenable Application of Artificial Intelligence on Water Resource Management Problems

AI or Artificial Intelligence is a pioneering technique that has enabled the creation of intelligent machines. or smart machines which have the power to self adapt based on the situation presented to them. It requires situations whose response is known and based on this training data set it learns the problems which it has to solve when it is ready. Due to the alarming success with AI in robotics, electronics, etc fields the same technique is now used to solve the problems of water resource management. This ppt shows the seven most notable use of AI in water resources-based problems where satisfactory improvement has encouraged the further application of the technique.

Introduction to Glowworm Optimization Algorithm

Overview of the Glow Worm Algorithm Explanation of the original Glow Worm Algorithm  The Hybrid Glow Worm Algorithm is an important algorithm to study and understand because of its ability to effectively solve complex optimization problems. By combining the strengths of different algorithms, it offers a flexible and adaptable solution approach that can be applied to various domains. Understanding this algorithm can help researchers and practitioners in developing efficient and effective optimization strategies for their specific problem instances.  The original Glow Worm Algorithm is a swarm intelligence-based optimization algorithm inspired by the behavior of glow worms in nature. It involves a population of virtual glow worms that interact with each other and their environment to find optimal solutions.  The algorithm uses a combination of local and global search strategies, allowing the glow worms to explore and exploit the search space effectively. Additionally, the a...
