Estimating the volume of macro-plastics which dot the world's oceans is one of the most pressing environmental concerns of our time. Prevailing methods for determining the amount of floating plastic debris, usually conducted manually, are time demand...
The fragile ecological environment near mines provide advantageous conditions for the development of landslides. Mine landslide susceptibility mapping is of great importance for mine geo-environment control and restoration planning. In this paper, a ...

In this study, artificial neural networks (ANNs) including feed forward back propagation neural network (FFBP-NN) and the radial basis function neural network (RBF-NN) were applied to predict daily sewage sludge quantity in wastewater treatment plant...
To protect public health by providing an early warning, PM concentration forecasting is an essential and effective work. In this paper, an ensemble long short-term memory neural network (E-LSTM) is proposed for hourly PM concentration forecasting. Th...

Groundwater is a major water resource in the North Chengdu Plain, China. The research objective is to determine the quality and suitability of groundwater for drinking purposes within the vicinity of a shallow, unconsolidated aquifer of Quaternary ag...
Heterotrophic fungus-like marine protists are recognized to contribute significantly to the coastal carbon cycling largely due to their high biomass and ability to decompose recalcitrant organic matter. Yet, little is known about their dynamics at po...
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals are a group of emerging contaminants that alters the function of the endocrine system, causing possible adverse health effects. In this study, a dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction method coupled with liquid chroma...
People have been suffering from air pollution for a decade in China, especially from PM (particulate matter with a diameter of less than 2.5 μm). Accurate prediction of air quality has great practical significance. In this paper, we propose a data-dr...
