  2. Deterioration modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deterioration_modeling

    Examples of other algorithms used for deterioration modeling are decision tree, k-NN, random forest, gradient boosting trees, random forest regression, and naive Bayes classifier. In this type model usually, the deterioration is predicted using a set of input variables or predictive features.

  3. Agents of deterioration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agents_of_deterioration

    Water is one of the agents of deterioration. Its effects can be seen in these flood-damaged library books. The 'ten agents of deterioration' are a conceptual framework developed by the Canadian Conservation Institute (CCI) used to categorise the major causes of change, loss or damage to cultural heritage objects (such as collections held by galleries, libraries, archives and museums). [1]

  4. Bathtub curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathtub_curve

    This graph is used in reliability engineering and deterioration modeling. The 'bathtub' refers to the shape of a line that curves up at both ends, similar in shape to a bathtub. The bathtub curve has 3 regions: The first region has a decreasing failure rate due to early failures. The middle region is a constant failure rate due to random failures.

  5. Weathering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weathering

    Weathering is the deterioration of rocks, soils and minerals (as well as wood and artificial materials) through contact with water, atmospheric gases, sunlight, and biological organisms. It occurs in situ (on-site, with little or no movement), and so is distinct from erosion , which involves the transport of rocks and minerals by agents such as ...

  6. Environmental degradation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_degradation

    Environmental degradation is the deterioration of the environment through depletion of resources such as quality of air, water and soil; the destruction of ecosystems; habitat destruction; the extinction of wildlife; and pollution. It is defined as any change or disturbance to the environment perceived to be deleterious or undesirable.

  7. Disc rot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_rot

    Disc rot is the tendency of CD, DVD, or other optical discs to become unreadable because of chemical deterioration. The causes include oxidation of the reflective layer, reactions with contaminants, ultra-violet light damage, and de-bonding of the adhesive used to adhere the layers of the disc together.

  8. Corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion

    It is the gradual deterioration of materials (usually a metal) by chemical or electrochemical reaction with their environment. Corrosion engineering is the field dedicated to controlling and preventing corrosion. [1] [2] Riveted connection of elements of the cooling tower of a power plant from 1904. Increased material volume caused by corrosion.
