Abstract Climate change is the main factor affecting the country’s vulnerability, meanwhile, it is also a complicated and nonlinear dynamic system. In order to solve this complex problem, this paper first uses the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and natural breakpoint method (NBM) to implement an AHP-NBM comprehensive evaluation model to assess the national vulnerability. By using ArcGIS, national vulnerability scores are classified and the country’s vulnerability is divided into three levels: fragile, vulnerable, and stable. Then, a BP neural network prediction model which is based on multivariate linear regression is used to predict the critical point… More >

Abstract With the rapid development of China’s economy, the scale of the city has been continuously expanding, industrial enterprises have been increasing, the discharge of multiple pollutants has reached the top of the world, and the environmental problems become more and more serious. The air pollution problem is particularly prominent. Air quality has become a daily concern for people. In order to control air pollution, it is necessary to grasp the air quality situation in an all-round way. It is necessary to evaluate air quality. Accurate results of air quality evaluation can help people know more… More >

Abstract Supercapacitors, also called electrical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), occupy a region between batteries and dielectric capacitors on the Ragone plot describing the relation between energy and power. BET specific surface area and specific capacitance are two important electrochemical property parameters for activated carbon EDLCs, which are usually tested by experimental method. However, it is misspent time to repeat lots of experiments for EDLCs' studies. In this investigation, we developed one theoretical model based on improved particle swarm optimization algorithm back propagation (PSO-BP) neural network (NN) to simulate and optimize BET specific surface area and specific capacitance.
