    Methods: 83 HCC patients who obtained
    Results: Among the 83 patients analyzed, 41% were diagnosed with histologic MVI. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that Child-Pugh stage, alpha-fetoprotein, number of tumors, CT Dmax, and Tumor-to-normal liver uptake ratio (TLR) were significant predictors of MVI. A nomogram was constructed using these predictors, which demonstrated strong calibration with a close agreement between predicted and actual MVI probabilities. The nomogram also showed excellent differentiation with an AUC of 0.965 (95% CI 0.925-1.000).
    Conclusion: The nomogram based on

    Abstract When traditional super-resolution reconstruction methods are applied to infrared thermal images, they often ignore the problem of poor image quality caused by the imaging mechanism, which makes it difficult to obtain high-quality reconstruction results even with the training of simulated degraded inverse processes. To address these issues, we proposed a thermal infrared image super-resolution reconstruction method based on multimodal sensor fusion, aiming to enhance the resolution of thermal infrared images and rely on multimodal sensor information to reconstruct high-frequency details in the images, thereby overcoming the limitations of imaging mechanisms. First, we designed a novel super-resolution reconstruction network, which consisted of primary feature encoding, super-resolution reconstruction, and high-frequency detail fusion subnetwork, to enhance the resolution of thermal infrared images and rely on multimodal sensor information to reconstruct high-frequency details in the images, thereby overcoming limitations of imaging mechanisms. We designed hierarchical dilated distillation modules and a cross-attention transformation module to extract and transmit image features, enhancing the network’s ability to express complex patterns. Then, we proposed a hybrid loss function to guide the network in extracting salient features from thermal infrared images and reference images while maintaining accurate thermal information. Finally, we proposed a learning strategy to ensure the high-quality super-resolution reconstruction performance of the network, even in the absence of reference images. Extensive experimental results show that the proposed method exhibits superior reconstruction image quality compared to other contrastive methods, demonstrating its effectiveness.

    Abstract We optimized and fabricated an ultra-bend-resistant 4-core simplex cable (SXC) employing 4-core multicore fiber (MCF) suitable for short-reach dense spatial division multiplexing (DSDM) optical transmission in the O-band. The characteristics of transmission loss, macro-bending and cross-talk (XT) between adjacent cores after cabling were firstly clarified. By introducing the trapezoid index and optimizing the cabling process, the maximum values of added XT of 1.17 dB/km due to 10 loops with a bending radius of 6 mm imposed over the 4-core SXC and a macro-bending loss of 0.37 dB/10 turns were, respectively, achieved.P Then, the optical transmission with low bit error rate (BER) was presented using a 100GBASE-LR4 transceiver over the 1.2 km long 4-core SXC. The excellent bending resistance of the 4-core SXC may pave the way for a reduction in space pressure and increase in access density on short-reach optical interconnect (OI) based on DSDM.

    Integrating Socioeconomic and Environmental Data for Multi-Objective Assessment

    Abstract The large concentration of the world’s population in cities, along with rapid urbanization, have brought numerous environmental and socioeconomic challenges to sustainable urban systems (SUS). However, current SUS studies focus heavily on ecological aspects, rely on SUS indicators that are not supported by available data, lack comprehensive analytical frameworks, and neglect SUS regional differences. This paper develops a novel approach to assessing urban sustainability from regional perspectives using commonly enumerated socioeconomic statistics. It integrates land use and land cover change data and ecosystem service values, applies data mining analytics to derive SUS indicators, and evaluates SUS states as trade-offs among relevant SUS indicators. This synthetic approach is called the integrated socioeconomic and land-use data mining–based multi-objective assessment (ISL-DM-MOA). The paper presents a case study of urban sustainability development in cities and counties in Inner Mongolia, China, which face many environmental and sustainable development problems. The case study identifies two SUS types: (1) several large cities that boast well-developed economies, diversified industrial sectors, vital transportation locations, good living conditions, and cleaner environments; and (2) a few small counties that have a small population, small urban construction areas, extensive natural grasslands, and primary grazing economies. The ISL-DM-MOA framework innovatively synthesizes currently available socioeconomic statistics and environmental data as a unified dataset to assess urban sustainability as a total socio-environmental system. ISL-DM-MOA deviates from the current indicator approach and advocates the notion of a data-mining-driven approach to derive urban sustainability dimensions. Furthermore, ISL-DM-MOA diverges from the concept of a composite score for determining urban sustainability. Instead, it promotes the concept of Pareto Front as a choice set of sustainability candidates, because sustainability ...

    Abstract Colorizing thermal infrared images poses a significant challenge as current methods struggle with issues such as unrealistic color saturation and limited texture. To address these challenges, we propose the Feature Refinement and Adaptive Generative Adversarial Network (FRAGAN). Our approach enhances the detailed, semantic, and contextual capabilities of image coloring by combining multi-level interactions that integrate the lost detailed information from the encoding stage with the semantic information from the decoding stage. Additionally, we introduce the Residual Feature Refinement Module (RFRM) to improve both the accuracy and generalization ability of the model, thereby elevating the quality of colorization results. The Feature Adaptation Module (FAM) is employed to mitigate sub-region information loss during downsampling. Furthermore, we introduce the Trinity Attention Module (TAM) to accurately capture the spatial and channel-wise interaction features of local semantic information. Extensive experimentation on the KAIST dataset and the FLIR dataset demonstrates the superiority of our proposed FRAGAN methodology, surpassing both the performance metrics and visual quality of current state-of-the-art methods. The colorized images generated by our proposed FRAGAN exhibit enhanced clarity and realism. Our code and models are available at GitHub.
