Abstract Automatic pancreas segmentation plays a pivotal role in assisting physicians with diagnosing pancreatic diseases, facilitating treatment evaluations, and designing surgical plans. Due to the pancreas’s tiny size, significant variability in shape and location, and low contrast with surrounding tissues, achieving high segmentation accuracy remains challenging. To improve segmentation precision, we propose a novel network utilizing EfficientNetV2 and multi-branch structures for automatically segmenting the pancreas from CT images. Firstly, an EfficientNetV2 encoder is employed to extract complex and multi-level features, enhancing the model’s ability to capture the pancreas’s intricate morphology. Then, a residual multi-branch dilated attention… More >

Abstract In the domain of knowledge graph embedding, conventional approaches typically transform entities and relations into continuous vector spaces. However, parameter efficiency becomes increasingly crucial when dealing with large-scale knowledge graphs that contain vast numbers of entities and relations. In particular, resource-intensive embeddings often lead to increased computational costs, and may limit scalability and adaptability in practical environments, such as in low-resource settings or real-world applications. This paper explores an approach to knowledge graph representation learning that leverages small, reserved entities and relation sets for parameter-efficient embedding. We introduce a hierarchical attention network designed to refine More >

Abstract The dramatic rise in the number of people living in cities has made many environmental and social problems worse. The search for a productive method for disposing of solid waste is the most notable of these problems. Many scholars have referred to it as a fuzzy multi-attribute or multi-criteria decision-making problem using various fuzzy set-like approaches because of the inclusion of criteria and anticipated ambiguity. The goal of the current study is to use an innovative methodology to address the expected uncertainties in the problem of solid waste site selection. The characteristics (or sub-attributes) that… More >

Abstract Various deep learning models have been proposed for the accurate assisted diagnosis of early-stage Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Most studies predominantly employ Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), which focus solely on local features, thus encountering difficulties in handling global features. In contrast to natural images, Structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (sMRI) images exhibit a higher number of channel dimensions. However, during the Position Embedding stage of Multi Head Self Attention (MHSA), the coded information related to the channel dimension is disregarded. To tackle these issues, we propose the RepBoTNet-CESA network, an advanced AD-aided diagnostic model that is capable… More >

Abstract In this paper, we propose a parameterization transfer algorithm for planar domains bounded by B-spline curves, where the shapes of the planar domains are similar. The domain geometries are considered to be similar if their simplified skeletons have the same structures. One domain we call source domain, and it is parameterized using multi-patch B-spline surfaces. The resulting parameterization is C1 continuous in the regular region and G1 continuous around singular points regardless of whether the parameterization of the source domain is C1/G1 continuous or not. In this algorithm, boundary control points of the source domain… More >

Abstract The aerodynamic optimization design of high-speed trains (HSTs) is crucial for energy conservation, environmental preservation, operational safety, and speeding up. This study aims to review the current state and progress of the aerodynamic multi-objective optimization of HSTs. First, the study explores the impact of train nose shape parameters on aerodynamic performance. The parameterization methods involved in the aerodynamic multiobjective optimization of HSTs are summarized and classified as shape-based and disturbance-based parameterization methods. Meanwhile, the advantages and limitations of each parameterization method, as well as the applicable scope, are briefly discussed. In addition, the NSGA-II algorithm,… More >

Abstract We propose a new method to generate surface quadrilateral mesh by calculating a globally defined parameterization with feature constraints. In the field of quadrilateral generation with features, the cross field methods are well-known because of their superior performance in feature preservation. The methods based on metrics are popular due to their sound theoretical basis, especially the Ricci flow algorithm. The cross field methods’ major part, the Poisson equation, is challenging to solve in three dimensions directly. When it comes to cases with a large number of elements, the computational costs are expensive while the methods… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Lattice structures with excellent physical properties have attracted great research interest. In this paper, a novel volume parametric modeling method based on the skeleton model is proposed for the construction of three-dimensional lattice structures. The skeleton model is divided into three types of nodes. And the corresponding algorithms are utilized to construct diverse types of volume parametric nodes. The unit-cell is assembled with distinct nodes according to the geometric features. The final lattice structure is created by the periodic arrangement of unit-cells. Several different types of volume parametric lattice structures are constructed to prove the More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Hypersoft set is an extension of soft set as it further partitions each attribute into its corresponding attribute-valued set. This structure is more flexible and useful as it addresses the limitation of soft set for dealing with the scenarios having disjoint attribute-valued sets corresponding to distinct attributes. The main purpose of this study is to make the existing literature regarding neutrosophic parameterized soft set in line with the need of multi-attribute approximate function. Firstly, we conceptualize the neutrosophic parameterized hypersoft sets under the settings of fuzzy set, intuitionistic fuzzy set and neutrosophic set along with More >
