Abstract Tuberculosis is a dangerous disease to human life, and we need a lot of attempts to stop and reverse it. Significantly, in the COVID-19 pandemic, access to medical services for tuberculosis has become very difficult. The late detection of tuberculosis could lead to danger to patient health, even death. Vietnam is one of the countries heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and many residential areas as well as hospitals have to be isolated for a long time. Reality demands a fast and effective tuberculosis diagnosis solution to deal with the difficulty of accessing medical services,… More >

Abstract Visualization experiments were conducted to clarify the operational characteristics of a polymer pulsating heat pipe (PHP). Hydrofluoroether (HFE)-7100 was used as a working fluid, and its filling ratio was 50% of the entire PHP channel. A semi-transparent PHP was fabricated using a transparent polycarbonate sheet and a plastic 3D printer, and the movements of liquid slugs and vapor plugs of the working fluid were captured with a high-speed camera. The video images were then analyzed to obtain the flow patterns in the PHP. The heat transfer characteristics of the PHP were discussed based on the… More >

Abstract The purpose of software defect prediction is to identify defect-prone code modules to assist software quality assurance teams with the appropriate allocation of resources and labor. In previous software defect prediction studies, transfer learning was effective in solving the problem of inconsistent project data distribution. However, target projects often lack sufficient data, which affects the performance of the transfer learning model. In addition, the presence of uncorrelated features between projects can decrease the prediction accuracy of the transfer learning model. To address these problems, this article propose a software defect prediction method based on stable… More >

Abstract CHDTEPDB (URL: ) is a manually integrated database for congenital heart disease (CHD) that stores the expression profiling data of CHD derived from published papers, aiming to provide rich resources for investigating a deeper correlation between human CHD and aberrant transcriptome expression. The development of human diseases involves important regulatory roles of RNAs, and expression profiling data can reflect the underlying etiology of inherited diseases. Hence, collecting and compiling expression profiling data is of critical significance for a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms and functions that underpin genetic diseases. CHDTEPDB stores the expression profiles of… More >

Abstract Permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is widely used in various production processes because of its high efficiency, fast reaction time, and high power density. With the continuous promotion of new energy vehicles, timely detection of PMSM faults can significantly reduce the accident rate of new energy vehicles, further enhance consumers’ trust in their safety, and thus promote their popularity. Existing fault diagnosis methods based on deep learning can only distinguish different PMSM faults and cannot interpret and analyze them. Convolutional neural networks (CNN) show remarkable accuracy in image data analysis. However, due to the “black… More >

Abstract In order to optimize the wood internal quality detection and evaluation system and improve the comprehensive utilization rate of wood, this paper invented a set of log internal defect detection and visualization system by using the ultrasonic dry coupling agent method. The detection and visualization analysis of internal log defects were realized through log specimen test. The main conclusions show that the accuracy, reliability and practicability of the system for detecting the internal defects of log specimens have been effectively verified. The system can make the edge of the detected image smooth by interpolation algorithm, More >

Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has severely disrupted both human life and the health care system. Timely diagnosis and treatment have become increasingly important; however, the distribution and size of lesions vary widely among individuals, making it challenging to accurately diagnose the disease. This study proposed a deep-learning disease diagnosis model based on weakly supervised learning and clustering visualization (W_CVNet) that fused classification with segmentation. First, the data were preprocessed. An optimizable weakly supervised segmentation preprocessing method (O-WSSPM) was used to remove redundant data and solve the category imbalance problem. Second, a deep-learning fusion method… More >

Abstract Recently, convolutional neural network (CNN)-based visual inspection has been developed to detect defects on building surfaces automatically. The CNN model demonstrates remarkable accuracy in image data analysis; however, the predicted results have uncertainty in providing accurate information to users because of the “black box” problem in the deep learning model. Therefore, this study proposes a visual explanation method to overcome the uncertainty limitation of CNN-based defect identification. The visual representative gradient-weights class activation mapping (Grad-CAM) method is adopted to provide visually explainable information. A visualizing evaluation index is proposed to quantitatively analyze visual representations; this… More >

Abstract The Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) effect has made telecommuting and remote learning the norm. The growing number of Internet-connected devices provides cyber attackers with more attack vectors. The development of malware by criminals also incorporates a number of sophisticated obfuscation techniques, making it difficult to classify and detect malware using conventional approaches. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel visualization-based malware classification system using transfer and ensemble learning (VMCTE). VMCTE has a strong anti-interference ability. Even if malware uses obfuscation, fuzzing, encryption, and other techniques to evade detection, it can be accurately classified into its… More >
