摘要: It is vital to forecast gas and particle matter concentrations emission rates (GPCER) from livestock production facilities in order assess the impact of airborne pollutants on human health, ecological environment global warming. Modeling source air quality a complex process due abundant nonlinear interactions between GPCER other factors. The objective this study was introduce statistical methods Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural network predict daily Iowa swine deeppit finishing buildings. results show that four variables (outdoor indoor temperature, _____________________________ 1 Reprinted with permission J.
