A land use regression model for ambient ultrafine particles in Montreal, Canada: A comparison of linear regression and a machine learning approach.

Environmental research
Existing evidence suggests that ambient ultrafine particles (UFPs) (<0.1µm) may contribute to acute cardiorespiratory morbidity. However, few studies have examined the long-term health effects of these pollutants owing in part to a need for exposure ...

Field study analysis of the influences of deworming regimens and housing conditions on parasites and sperm output in 21 European boar studs.

Veterinary journal (London, England : 1997)
The current study reports the parasitological results of a quality control audit in 21 European boar studs. Field investigations were performed over a 2-year period (2012-2013) during the winter and spring. From each stud, an average of 30 (range, 25...

Combining Search, Social Media, and Traditional Data Sources to Improve Influenza Surveillance.

PLoS computational biology
We present a machine learning-based methodology capable of providing real-time ("nowcast") and forecast estimates of influenza activity in the US by leveraging data from multiple data sources including: Google searches, Twitter microblogs, nearly rea...

Verifying the performance of artificial neural network and multiple linear regression in predicting the mean seasonal municipal solid waste generation rate: A case study of Fars province, Iran.

Waste management (New York, N.Y.)
Predicting the mass of solid waste generation plays an important role in integrated solid waste management plans. In this study, the performance of two predictive models, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) was verifi...

Seasonal variation in onset and relapse of IBD and a model to predict the frequency of onset, relapse, and severity of IBD based on artificial neural network.

International journal of colorectal disease
BACKGROUND: Previous research has yielded conflicting data as to whether the natural history of inflammatory bowel disease follows a seasonal pattern. The purpose of this study was (1) to determine whether the frequency of onset and relapse of inflam...

Application of chemometric analysis and self Organizing Map-Artificial Neural Network as source receptor modeling for metal speciation in river sediment.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Present study deals with the river Ganga water quality and its impact on metal speciation in its sediments. Concentration of physico-chemical parameters was highest in summer season followed by winter and lowest in rainy season. Metal speciation stud...

Assessment for water quality by artificial neural network in Daya Bay, South China Sea.

Ecotoxicology (London, England)
In this study, artificial neural network such as a self-organizing map (SOM) was used to assess for the effects caused by climate change and human activities on the water quality in Daya Bay, South China Sea. SOM has identified the anthropogenic effe...

Coincidence of the threshold temperature of seasonal switching for diel transcriptomic oscillations and growth.

Plant & cell physiology
Predicting plant responses to global warming is essential for ecosystem management and crop yields. As many genes are controlled by the circadian clock, understanding the effects of temperature on transcriptomic rhythmicity under natural conditions i...

Seasonal total coliform dynamics in a drinking water reservoir.

Water research
Maintaining high-quality drinking water supply reservoirs is important for protecting public health. Despite extensive watershed protection efforts, reservoirs can still experience seasonal, elevated total coliform bacteria concentrations, indicator ...

Polarization of dryland vegetation response to spring flood.

Journal of environmental management
Dryland vegetation plays a pivotal role in the global ecosystem and is extraordinarily sensitive to water pulses, yet it is experiencing increasingly severe flooding. Floods have both significant beneficial and detrimental effects that may trigger ex...
