Abstract Rapid spatial evaluation of disaster after earthquake occurrence is required in the emergency rescue management, due to its significant support for decreasing casualties and property losses. The earthquake-hit population is taken as an example of earthquake disaster to construct the evaluation model using the data from the 2013 Ms7.0 Lushan earthquake. Ten influencing factors are classified into environmental factors and seismic factors. The correlation analysis reveals characteristics that there is a nonlinear relationship between the earthquake-hit population and various factors, and per capita GDP and PGA factor have a stronger correlation with earthquake-hit population. Moreover, the spatial variability of influencing factors would affect the distribution of earthquake-hit population. The earthquake-hit population is evaluated using BP neural network with optimizing training samples based on the spatial characteristics of per capita GDP and PGA factors. Different number of sample points are generated in areas with different value intervals of influencing factors, instead of the random distribution of sample points. The minimum value of RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) from testing set is 18 people/km2, showing good accuracy in the spatial evaluation of earthquake-hit population. Meanwhile, the optimizing samples considering spatial characteristics could improve the convergence speed and generalization capability comparing to random samples. The trained network was generalized to the 2017 Ms7.0 Jiuzhaigou earthquake to verify the prediction accuracy. The evaluation results indicate that BP neural network considering the correlation characteristics of factors has the capability to evaluate the seismic disaster information in space, providing more detailed information for emergency service and rescue operation.

Abstract Rapid spatial evaluation of earthquake-hit population after earthquake occurrence is required in the disaster emergency rescue management, due to its significant support for decreasing casualties and property losses. The correlation between earthquake-hit population and influencing factors are analyzed using the data from the 2013 Ms7.0 Lushan earthquake. Ten influencing factors including elevation, slope angle, population density, per capita GDP, distance to fault, distance to river, NDVI, PGA, PGV and distance to epicenter, are classified into environmental factors and seismic factors. The correlation analysis reveals characteristics that there is a nonlinear relationship between the earthquake-hit population and various factors, and per capita GDP and PGA factor have a stronger correlation with earthquake-hit population. Moreover, the spatial variability of influencing factors would affect the distribution of earthquake-hit population. The earthquake-hit population is evaluated using BP neural network with optimizing training samples based on the spatial characteristics of per capita GDP and PGA factors. Different number of sample points are generated in areas with different value intervals of influencing factors, instead of the random distribution of sample points. The minimum value of RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) from testing set is 18 people/km2, showing good accuracy in the spatial evaluation of earthquake-hit population. Meanwhile, the optimizing samples considering spatial characteristics could improve the convergence speed and generalization capability comparing to random samples. The trained network was generalized to the 2017 Ms7.0 Jiuzhaigou earthquake to verify the prediction accuracy. The mean absolute error of earthquake-hit population evaluation results in different counties under the Jiuzhaigou earthquake were 18357 people and 26121 people for optimizing samples and random samples, respectively. The evaluation results indicate that BP neural network considering the correlation characteristics of factors has the capability to evaluate the earthquake-hit population in space, providing more detailed information for emergency service and rescue operation.

Life expectancy (LE) is a comprehensive and important index for measuring population health. Research on LE and its influencing factors is helpful for health improvement. Previous studies have neither considered the spatial stratified heterogeneity of LE nor explored the interactions between its influencing factors. Our study was based on the latest available LE and social and environmental factors data of 31 provinces in 2010 in China. Descriptive and spatial autocorrelation analyses were performed to explore the spatial characteristics of LE. Furthermore, the Geographical Detector (GeoDetector) technique was used to reveal the impact of social and environmental factors and their interactions on LE as well as their optimal range for the maximum LE level. The results show that there existed obvious spatial stratified heterogeneity of LE, and LE mainly presented two clustering types (high–high and low–low) with positive autocorrelation. The results of GeoDetector showed that the number of college students per 100,000 persons (NOCS) could mainly explained the spatial stratified heterogeneity of LE (Power of Determinant (PD) = 0.89, p < 0.001). With the discretization of social and environmental factors, we found that LE reached the highest level with birth rate, total dependency ratio, number of residents per household and water resource per capita at their minimum range; conversely, LE reached the highest level with consumption level, GDP per capita, number of college students per 100,000 persons, medical care expenditure and urbanization rate at their maximum range. In addition, the interaction of any two factors on LE was stronger than the effect of a single factor. Our study suggests that there existed obvious spatial stratified heterogeneity of LE in China, which could mainly be explained by NOCS.

The prediction of power grid engineering cost is the basis of fine management of power grid engineering, and accurate prediction of substation engineering cost can effectively ensure the fine operation of engineering funds. With the continuous expansion of the engineering system, the influencing factors and data dimensions of substation project investment are gradually diversified and complex, which further increases the uncertainty and complexity of substation project cost. Based on the concept of substation engineering data space, this paper investigates the influencing factors and constructs the static total investment intelligent prediction model of substation engineering. The emerging swarm intelligence algorithm, sparrow search algorithm (SSA), is used to optimize the parameters of the BP neural network to improve the prediction accuracy and convergence speed of neural network. In order to test the validity of the model, an example analysis is carried out based on the data of a provincial substation project. It was found that the SSA-BP can effectively improve the prediction accuracy and provide new methods and approaches for practical application and research.

The paper will use BP neural network analysis method to study the thermal conductivity of bentonite and its influencing factors as a system. The heat conduction of bentonite was used as the output of the system, and its influencing factors were used as the system input to simulate. The corresponding simulation model was established to verify the thermal conductivity data. In addition, the analysis of the mechanical properties of the bentonite-PVA fiber cement-based composite materials for construction has not only laid a theoretical and realistic foundation for the prediction and simulation of the thermal conductivity of bentonite, but also has opened up the mechanical properties of the bentonite-PVA fiber cement-based composite materials a new path.

With the in-depth study on the blast furnace iron-making process and the operational characteristic of auxiliary materials in iron-making process, the comprehensive coke rate’s main influencing factors based on the operation characteristics of auxiliary materials were found. Then, a BP neural network model was used to simulate the mathematic mapping relationship between comprehensive coke rate and main influencing factors. Based on the established BP neural network model, through setting the comprehensive coke rate lowest as the goal and using the actual production data of a iron &steel company’s 6# blast furnace ,a genetic algorithm method is adopted to find the best optimal combination among the main influencing factors. The results show that after optimization calculation the comprehensive coke rate could be reduced about 35.85kg. A new perspective and a scientific method are proposed to realize the target of energy conservation and emission reduction in ironmaking process in this paper.
