  Polymeric Nanocomposite Aided Bioaugmentation for Marine Oil Spills – A Review

  By A. Sheela Devi, V. Chithambaram, M. Mary Jaculine, N Saravanan, A. Lokeshbabu, J. Balakrishnan

  Abstract: Bioaugmentation is a promising, cost-effective bioremediation technique that enhances the degradation of marine pollutants by introducing hydrocarbon-degrading microorganisms. This review explores recent advancements in the use of bioaugmentation for petroleum biodegradation in marine environments, emphasizing the integration of microbial systems with polymeric and composite materials. Innovative methods, such as the immobilization of microbial cells within biodegradable polymeric matrices (e.g., alginate, chitosan, polyvinyl alcohol), have significantly improved microbial viability, metabolic efficiency, …

  Record Linkage in Knowledge Discovery Process Using Angle Based Machine Learning

  By A.Sairam, D. Sasikumar, V. Chithambaram, R. Sendhilkumar, A.B Hajira Be

  Abstract: Record linkage is a critical data cleansing step in the knowledge discovery process, aimed at identifying and resolving inconsistencies across datasets. This study proposes an enhanced record linkage framework tailored for uncertain and large-scale data using a combination of distance measurement, probabilistic modeling, and semantic reasoning. A novel angle-based distance measurement technique is introduced to optimize matching between candidate records. To further boost match accuracy, a Finite Mixture Model (FMM) …
