Within the context of the intersection of the global megatrends of urbanisation, ageing societies and digitalisation, this paper explores older people's mobility, with a particular interest in public transport, and a strong consideration of digital/I...
Particulate matter with a mass concentration of particles with a diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM) is a key air quality parameter. A real-time knowledge of PM is highly valuable for lowering the risk of detrimental impacts on human health. To achieve th...
The objective was to apply artificial neural networks to classify municipalities (counties) in Rio Grande do Norte State, Brazil, according to their social vulnerability. This was an ecological study using 17 variables that reflected epidemiological,...

To minimize losses caused by flooding of areas in a river basin, flood risk management may sacrifice the interests of some areas. Because of regional differences in natural and urban conditions, rankings of the urgencies of flood drainage rights allo...
In recent years, the development of sewage treatment technologies has made many treatment options available in towns. Selecting the most appropriate alternative (MAA) can make the best use of existing resources to achieve the optimal effect, which ha...
Forecasting household waste generation using traditional methods is particularly challenging due to its high variability and uncertainty. Unlike studies that forecast waste generation at municipal or country levels, household data can present rapid s...
The aim of this study was to establish a method for predicting heavy metal concentrations in PM (aerosol particles with an aerodynamic diameter ≤ 1.0 μm) based on back propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN) and support vector machine (SVM) me...
