Estimation of hazardous air pollutants in the urban environment for maintaining public safety is a significant concern to mankind. In this paper, we have developed an efficient air quality warning system based on a low-cost and robust ground-level oz...
Hand-foot-and-month disease (HFMD), especially the enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) subtype, is a major health problem in Beijing, China. Previous studies mainly used regressive models to forecast the prevalence of HFMD, ignoring its intrinsic age groups. Th...
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...
The field of Evolutionary Robotics addresses the challenge of automatically designing robotic systems. Furthermore, the field can also support biological investigations related to evolution. In this paper, we evolve (simulated) modular robots under d...
The efficiency of disease prevention and medical care service necessitated the prediction of incidence. However, predictive accuracy and power were largely impeded in a complex system including multiple environmental stressors and health outcome of w...
Precision agriculture is considered to be a fundamental approach in pursuing a low-input, high-efficiency, and sustainable kind of agriculture when performing site-specific management practices. To achieve this objective, a reliable and updated descr...
BACKGROUND: Culicoides biting midges transmit viruses resulting in disease in ruminants and equids such as bluetongue, Schmallenberg disease and African horse sickness. In the past decades, these diseases have led to important economic losses for far...
Warm-season legumes have been receiving increased attention as forage resources in the southern United States and other countries. However, the near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technique has not been widely explored for predicting the forage quality...
