Medical image segmentation based on simulated annealing and opposition-based learning island algorithm

by M. A. JiMing, Duan HongYu, Wang YuFan, Wang LiNa

With the development of society and changes in the human living environment, people are increasingly attaching importance to their own health. Regarding medical imaging examinations of certain parts of the body, the process of medical image segmentation has become extremely important. This paper presents a novel hybrid algorithm: SAOBL-IA, a fusion of the Simulated Annealing(SA), Opposition-based Learning(OBL)and Island Algorithm(IA). The... Читать дальше...

Sustainable sojourns: Fostering sustainable hospitality practices to meet UN-SDGs

by Jing He, Umer Zaman

This research discusses the significance of environmental transformational leadership (ENTL) in the creation of energy-saving sustainable behaviors (EESB) among employees in the tourism and hospitality sector of China. The method is consequently a quantitative analysis, where the mediating effect of green intrinsic motivation (GNIM) and green passion (GRP), and the moderating role of green altruism (GNA) are examined to understand their influence on the relationship between ENTL and EESB.

The spatial heterogeneity of urban green space distribution and configuration in Lilongwe City, Malawi

by Odala Nambazo, Kennedy Nazombe

Urban green spaces provide several benefits related to the quality of urban life. The existence and spatial arrangement of these spaces within neighbourhoods and functional land uses have significant implications for the well-being of urban dwellers. Previous studies on green spaces in urban areas of Malawi have focused on a broader and macro-level perspective, offering insightful information on general trends in different cities. However, there is a significant... Читать дальше...

Reduced approach disposition in familial risk for depression: Evidence from time-frequency alpha asymmetries

by Carola Dell’Acqua, Tania Moretta, Simone Messerotti Benvenuti

Despite the promising role of alpha and delta power in reflecting reduced approach disposition in depression, to date, it is unclear whether these measures can be employed to identify at-risk individuals. Hence, the present study investigated affective disposition in 32 unaffected individuals with a family history of depression (23 F) and 30 individuals without a family history of depression (21 F) through a data-driven analysis...

The problem of unconscious and unidentified patients in emergency department admissions; a 3-year retrospective study

by Demet Acar, Fatih Cemal Tekin

Unidentified patients present a medical information dilemma for all medical departments but can be a major problem in Emergency Departments (EDs). This study aimed to determine the clinical and socio-demographic profile of ’unidentified’ patients admitted to the ED with altered consciousness and to define the outcomes of these patients. All ED presentations were analyzed retrospectively for the unidentified patients brought to the hospital by ambulance with altered consciousness. Читать дальше...

The association between alcohol consumption and herpes simplex virus type 2: A cross-sectional study from national health and nutrition examination survey 2009–2016

by Yushan Shi, Jiafeng Zhang, Zhantong Wang, Feng Shan

Background

The current prevalence of Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) infection is notably high, with individuals afflicted by HSV-2 facing recurrent outbreaks, challenges in achieving remission, and an elevated risk of HIV infection. This study aims to investigate the relationship between alcohol consumption and HSV-2 infection.

Methods

The data for this study were sourced from 7257 participants who took part in the National... Читать дальше...

Outcome assessment of different reward stimuli in Internet gaming disorder by event-related potentials

by Mengyue Zhang, Chenyue Zhao, Ziyu Mao, Meng Zhang, Xiaoli Xing

An imbalance in sensitivity to different types of reward stimuli may be an important cause of addiction that is mainly manifested in high sensitivity to addictive substance rewards and blunting of natural rewards. However, contradictions remain in the research results on the sensitivity of individuals with Internet gaming disorder (IGD) to different reward stimuli. Based on participants’ neural responses to win and loss feedback (in door task)... Читать дальше...

Adaptive control for circulating cooling water system using deep reinforcement learning

by Jin Xu, Han Li, Qingxin Zhang

Due to the complex internal working process of circulating cooling water systems, most traditional control methods struggle to achieve stable and precise control. Therefore, this paper presents a novel adaptive control structure for the Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient algorithm, which is based on a reference trajectory model (TD3-RTM). The structure is based on the Markov decision process of the recirculating cooling water system. Initially... Читать дальше...
