An overview of management and monitoring of harmful algal blooms in the northern part of the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea (Hormuzgan Province)

Automatic Group Decision-Making for Algal Bloom Management Based on Information Self-Learning

“…The original DBSCAN algorithm uses the formula for calculating the Euclidean distance, and the data in this study is in the form of a three-parameter interval number; in order to take advantage of this interval number, we improve the algorithm of DBSCAN. When calculating the distance, different weights are given to the upper and lower limits and the center of gravity, and it is guaranteed that the center-of-gravity point has the largest weight; this distance formula can be adjusted according to the decision-maker's experience and risk appetite, and the improved distance algorithm is shown in Equation (6).…”

“…The United States has experienced a significant increase in harmful algal bloom events over the past three decades, with a wider range of impacted resources and areas affected [5]. Globally, algal blooms and water Water 2024, 16, 909 2 of 18 eutrophication have become serious challenges, posing health risks to humans, livestock, poultry, and aquatic organisms due to the toxins produced by certain algal species [6,7]. As a result, governments, scientists, and all sectors of society around the world are striving to find solutions to the problems of algal blooms and eutrophication of water bodies.…”

Removal of highly dispersive microspheres from wastewater using modified spirulina hetero-coagulation and their application in flame retardancy

“…Meanwhile, algal blooms are also environmentally problematical and excessive to dispose with the increased nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations in discharged effluents. 17 Algae not only represent a vast untapped resource for the production of renewable chemicals and fuels, but they can also be applied for removing arsenates and eutrophication of water bodies. 18,19 Spirulina is a marine alga, Arthrospira platensis, with a naturally intact three-dimensional helical structure and a number of researchers have demonstrated its feasibility and efficiency for contaminant removal.…”
