Analysis of YOLOv5 and DeepLabv3+ Algorithms for Detecting Illegal Cultivation on Public Land: A Case Study of a Riverside in Korea.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Rivers are generally classified as either national or local rivers. Large-scale national rivers are maintained through systematic maintenance and management, whereas many difficulties can be encountered in the management of small-scale local rivers. ...

Online sequential, outlier robust, and parallel layer perceptron extreme learning machine models for sediment transport in sewer pipes.

Environmental science and pollution research international
Sediment transport is a noteworthy task in the design and operation of sewer pipes. Decreasing sewer pipe hydraulic capacity and transport of pollution are the main consequences of continuous sedimentation. Among different design approaches, the non-...

Air pollution, water pollution, and robots: Is technology the panacea.

Journal of environmental management
The degradation of the ecological environment caused by industrialization presents a major challenge for policymakers as they aim to develop sustainability. Is there a way to balance industrial growth and environmental sustainability? To answer this ...

Deep learning based approach for automated characterization of large marine microplastic particles.

Marine environmental research
The rapidly growing concern of marine microplastic pollution has drawn attentions globally. Microplastic particles are normally subjected to visual characterization prior to more sophisticated chemical analyses. However, the misidentification rate of...

Spatial distribution and influencing factors of litter in urban areas based on machine learning - A case study of Beijing.

Waste management (New York, N.Y.)
Littering in urban areas negatively affects their appearance, is harmful to the environment and increases pollution. It is a typical urban problem looming large upon Beijing and other megacities striving for liveability and harmony in economy, societ...

Assessment of medical waste generation, associated environmental impact, and management issues after the outbreak of COVID-19: A case study of the Hubei Province in China.

PloS one
COVID-19 greatly challenges the human health sector, and has resulted in a large amount of medical waste that poses various potential threats to the environment. In this study, we compiled relevant data released by official agencies and the media, an...

Prediction of direct carbon emissions of Chinese provinces using artificial neural networks.

PloS one
Closely connected to human carbon emissions, global climate change is affecting regional economic and social development, natural ecological environment, food security, water supply, and many other social aspects. In a word, climate change has become...

A spectral characteristic analysis method for distinguishing heavy metal pollution in crops: VMD-PCA-SVM.

Spectrochimica acta. Part A, Molecular and biomolecular spectroscopy
Exploring the characteristics and types of heavy metal pollution in crops has important implications for food security and human health. In this study, a method for distinguishing heavy metal-polluted elements in corn leaves was proposed. Based on th...

Identification of Potential PBT/POP-Like Chemicals by a Deep Learning Approach Based on 2D Structural Features.

Environmental science & technology
Identifying potential persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) substances from industrial chemical inventories are essential for chemical risk assessment, management, and pollution control. Inspired by the...

Comprehensive evaluation of benefits from environmental investment: take China as an example.

Environmental science and pollution research international
With the rapid development of social economy and the increasing environmental pollution in China, the government's environmental investment has been gradually increasing, and an effective evaluation system is required to study the benefits from envir...
