Amazon's climate crossroads: analyzing air pollution and health impacts under machine learning-based temperature increase scenarios in Northern Mato Grosso, Brazil.

Environmental geochemistry and health
Air pollution has long been a public health concern in South America, now increasingly linked to climate change. In Brazil, this issue is particularly acute in smaller cities with limited monitoring infrastructure. Sinop, located in the Amazon biome ...

Enhancing Climate-Driven Urban Tree Cooling with Targeted Nonclimatic Interventions.

Environmental science & technology
Urban trees play a pivotal role in mitigating heat, yet the global determinants and patterns of their cooling efficiency (CE) remain elusive. Here, we quantify the diel CE of 229 cities across four climatic zones and employ a machine-learning model t...

Traffic-related air pollution backcasting using convolutional neural network and long short-term memory approach.

The Science of the total environment
Air pollution backcasting, especially nitrogen dioxide (NO), is crucial in epidemiological studies, thus enabling the reconstruction of historical exposure levels for assessing long-term health effects. Changes in NO concentrations in urban areas are...

Comparison and prediction of shallow groundwater nitrate in Shaying River basin based on urban distribution using multiple machine learning approaches.

Water environment research : a research publication of the Water Environment Federation
Groundwater, a pivotal water resource in numerous regions worldwide, confronts formidable challenges posed by severe nitrate pollution. Traditional research methodologies aimed at addressing groundwater nitrate contamination frequently struggle to ac...

A causal machine-learning framework for studying policy impact on air pollution: a case study in COVID-19 lockdowns.

American journal of epidemiology
When studying the impact of policy interventions or natural experiments on air pollution, such as new environmental policies or the opening or closing of an industrial facility, careful statistical analysis is needed to separate causal changes from o...

InBRwSANet: Self-attention based parallel inverted residual bottleneck architecture for human action recognition in smart cities.

PloS one
Human Action Recognition (HAR) has grown significantly because of its many uses, including real-time surveillance and human-computer interaction. Various variations in routine human actions make the recognition process of action more difficult. In th...

How does high temperature weather affect tourists' nature landscape perception and emotions? A machine learning analysis of Wuyishan City, China.

PloS one
Natural landscapes are crucial resources for enhancing visitor experiences in ecotourism destinations. Previous research indicates that high temperatures may impact tourists' perception of landscapes and emotions. Still, the potential value of natura...

Deep Learning-Based Assessment of Built Environment From Satellite Images and Cardiometabolic Disease Prevalence.

JAMA cardiology
IMPORTANCE: Built environment plays an important role in development of cardiovascular disease. Large scale, pragmatic evaluation of built environment has been limited owing to scarce data and inconsistent data quality.

Artificial intelligence-based assessment of built environment from Google Street View and coronary artery disease prevalence.

European heart journal
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Built environment plays an important role in the development of cardiovascular disease. Tools to evaluate the built environment using machine vision and informatic approaches have been limited. This study aimed to investigate the...

A fuzzy TOPSIS-based approach for prioritizing low-impact development methods in high-density residential areas.

Water science and technology : a journal of the International Association on Water Pollution Research
The study successfully implemented six low-impact development (LID) methods to manage surface runoff in urban areas: green roof, infiltration trench, bio retention cell, rain barrel, green roof combined with infiltration trench, and rain barrel combi...
