PM2.5 concentration prediction model based on random forest regression analysis by Xu DU, Jingyu FENG, Shaoqing LV, Wei SHI

“…The random foreat regression algorithm was introduced to solve the shortcomings of neural network in predicting the PM2.5 concentration,such as over-fitting,complex network structure,low learning efficiency.A novel PM2.5 concentration prediction model named RFRP was designed by analyzing the 22 characteristic factors including the meteorological conditions,the concentration of air pollutants and the season.The historical meteorological data of Xi’an in 2013—2016 were collected to verify the effectiveness of the model.The experimental results show that the proposed model can not only predict the PM2.5 concentration effectively,but also improve the operating efficiency of the model without affecting the prediction accuracy.The average run time of the proposed model is 0.281 s,which is about 5.58% of the neural network prediction model.…”

Effect of rotational grazing on plant and animal production by Mayee Chen, Junping Shi

“…In rotational grazing, cattle periodically move among paddocks in contrast to continuous grazing, in which the cattle graze on a single plot for the entire grazing season. We construct a differential equation model of vegetation grazing on a fixed area to show that production yields and stockpiled forage are greater for rotational grazing than continuous grazing. …”
