With the deepening application of Internet technology, social network emotional marketing has become a new way of sustainability marketing. However, most of the existing emotional marketing research belongs to the field of qualitative research, and there is a lack of data analysis and empirical research between social network emotional marketing and consumers’ purchase behavior. In this paper, firstly the influencing factors of consumers’ purchase behavior are extracted from a massive social network emotional marketing data set, and the Delphi method is adopted to interview experts to revise and improve the influencing factors. Then, a model simulating the influence of social network emotional marketing on consumers’ purchasing behavior is constructed. The proposed model explores the mechanism of the influence of social network emotional marketing on consumers’ purchase behavior through trust, attachment and other psychological factors from the perspective of emotion. Finally, a questionnaire is used to obtain survey data, and statistical methods are used to analyze the relevant data, so as to verify the correctness of the proposed model and related research hypothesis.

This paper proposes the epidemic propagation model SEAIHR to elucidate the propagation mechanism of the Corona Virus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19). Based on the analysis of the propagation characteristics of COVID-19, the hospitalization isolation state and recessive healing state are introduced. The home morbidity state is introduced to consider the self-healing of asymptomatic infected populations, the early isolation of close contractors, and the impact of epidemic prevention and control measures. In this paper, by using the real epidemic data combined with the changes in parameters in different epidemic stages, multiple model simulation comparative tests were conducted. The experimental results showed that the fitting and prediction accuracy of the SEAIHR model was significantly better than the classical epidemic propagation model, and the fitting error was 34.4–72.8% lower than that of the classical model in the early and middle stages of the epidemic.

Environmental e-commerce is a sustainability-oriented e-commerce model. To address the problem of data sparsity and the lack of diversity in traditional e-commerce recommendation algorithms, a new collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm based on multiple social relationships is proposed in environmental e-commerce. In real social networks, there were many relationships between users. On the basis of the traditional matrix decomposition model, the proposed algorithm integrates multiple social relationships between users into the user feature matrix, and then the multiple social relationships between users and the user rating preference similarity were used to jointly predict the user’s rating value for commodity, thus the personalized recommendation for users was achieved. In order to verify the superiority of the proposed algorithm, in this paper, two open datasets were used to compare the performance of several recommendation algorithms. The experimental results show that compared with the traditional social recommendation algorithms, the proposed algorithm improves recommendation accuracy and diversity. In real environmental e-commerce recommendation systems, the proposed algorithm can provide users with more personalized recommendation results, and reduce the arbitrariness of customer purchases and frequent returns in reality.

Retinal screening contributes to early detection of diabetic retinopathy and timely treatment. To facilitate the screening process, we develop a deep learning system, named DeepDR, that can detect early-to-late stages of diabetic retinopathy. DeepDR is trained for real-time image quality assessment, lesion detection and grading using 466,247 fundus images from 121,342 patients with diabetes. Evaluation is performed on a local dataset with 200,136 fundus images from 52,004 patients and three external datasets with a total of 209,322 images. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curves for detecting microaneurysms, cotton-wool spots, hard exudates and hemorrhages are 0.901, 0.941, 0.954 and 0.967, respectively. The grading of diabetic retinopathy as mild, moderate, severe and proliferative achieves area under the curves of 0.943, 0.955, 0.960 and 0.972, respectively. In external validations, the area under the curves for grading range from 0.916 to 0.970, which further supports the system is efficient for diabetic retinopathy grading. As the leading cause of vision loss in working-age adults, diabetic retinopathy requires routinely retinal screening. Here the authors develop a deep learning system that can facilitate the screening by providing real-time image quality assessment, lesions detection, and grades across the disease spectrum.

The rapid increase of train speed has brought greater challenges to the safety and reliability of railway systems. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the operation status of trains, infrastructure, and their operating environment in real time. Because the operation environment of railway systems is complex, the construction cost of wired monitoring systems is high, and it is difficult to achieve full coverage in the operation area of harsh environments, so wireless sensor networks are suitable for the status monitoring of railway systems. Energy resources of nodes are the basis of ensuring the lifecycle of wireless sensor networks, but severely restrict the sustainability of wireless sensor networks. A construction method of special wireless sensor networks for railway status monitoring, and an optimal energy resources allocation method of wireless sensor networks for intelligent railway systems are proposed in this paper. Through cluster head selection and rotating probability model, clustering generation and optimization model, and partial coverage model, the energy consumption of nodes can be minimized and balanced. The result of simulation experiment proved that the lifetime of wireless sensor networks can be maximized by the optimal energy resources allocation method based on clustering optimization and partial coverage model, based on polynomial time algorithm.

With the widespread use of social networks, social recommendation algorithms that add social relationships between users to recommender systems have been widely applied. Existing social recommendation algorithms only introduced one type of social relationship to the recommendation system, but in reality, there are often multiple social relationships among users. In this paper, a new matrix factorization recommendation algorithm combined with multiple social relationships is proposed. Through experiment results analysis on the Epinions dataset, the proposed matrix factorization recommendation algorithm has a significant improvement over the traditional and matrix factorization recommendation algorithms that integrate a single social relationship.

Layilin (LAYN) is a critical gene that regulates T cell function. However, the correlations of LAYN to prognosis and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in different cancers remain unclear. LAYN expression was analyzed via the Oncomine database and Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER) site. We evaluated the influence of LAYN on clinical prognosis using Kaplan-Meier plotter, the PrognoScan database and Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA). The correlations between LAYN and cancer immune infiltrates was investigated via TIMER. In addition, correlations between LAYN expression and gene marker sets of immune infiltrates were analyzed by TIMER and GEPIA. A cohort (GSE17536) of colorectal cancer patients showed that high LAYN expression was associated with poorer overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and disease-free survival (DFS). In addition, high LAYN expression was significantly correlated with poor OS and progression-free survival (PFS) in gastric cancers (OS HR = 1.97, = 3.6e-10; PFS HR = 2.12, = 2.3e-10). Moreover, LAYN significantly impacts the prognosis of diverse cancers via The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Specifically, high LAYN expression was correlated with worse OS and PFS in stage 2 to 4 but not stage 1 and stage N0 gastric cancer patients ( = 0.28, 0.34; = 0.073, 0.092). LAYN expression was positively correlated with infiltrating levels of CD4+ T and CD8+ T cells, macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells (DCs) in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) and stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD). LAYN expression showed strong correlations with diverse immune marker sets in COAD and STAD. These findings suggest that LAYN is correlated with prognosis and immune infiltrating levels of, including those of CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, macrophages, neutrophils, and DCs in multiple cancers, especially in colon and gastric cancer patients. In addition, LAYN expression potentially contributes to regulation of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), DCs, T cell exhaustion and Tregs in colon and gastric cancer. These findings suggest that LAYN can be used as a prognostic biomarker for determining prognosis and immune infiltration in gastric and colon cancers.

Most of the existing influence maximization problem in social networks only focus on single relationship social networks, that is, there is only one relationship in social networks. However, in reality, there are often many relationships among users of social networks, and these relationships jointly affect the propagation of network information and its final scope of influence. Based on the classical linear threshold model and combined with various relationships between network nodes, in this paper MRSN-LT propagation model is proposed to model the influence propagation process between nodes in multiple relationships social networks. Then, MRSN-RRset algorithm based on reverse reachable set is proposed to solve the problem of low computational performance caused by greedy algorithm in the research process of traditional influence maximization. Finally, the experimental results on real data sets show that the proposed method has better influence propagation scope and greater computational performance improvement.

Electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain–computer interface (BCI) systems are often affected by substantial inter-subject variability. These differences cause distribution shifts between the source domain and the target domain. As a result, the decoder’s generalization to unseen subjects is reduced. In online steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP)-based BCI systems, the decoder must not only cope with inter-subject distribution shifts but also adapt rapidly. However, most existing methods require accumulating multiple trials before adaptation, which increases data acquisition and update latency and thus limits their practicality in online settings. To address these challenges, this study focuses on a practically important but insufficiently explored setting, which is unlabeled inter-subject SSVEP decoding with single-trial online adaptation, where immediate adaptation is required and multi-trial accumulation is impractical. For this setting, this study proposes a low-latency test-time adaptation algorithm that combines trial-wise online Euclidean alignment, entropy minimization, and pseudo-label frequency regularization. This integration supports single-trial adaptation under online constraints, without requiring target labels or trial buffering, thereby reducing adaptation latency while mitigating inter-subject distribution shift. Experiments on two public datasets using four backbone models show that the proposed method achieves an average accuracy of 75.70%, outperforming the non-adaptive baseline by 3.88%. These results indicate that the proposed method improves inter-subject SSVEP decoding accuracy and shows potential for online BCI applications.

Direct volume rendering (DVR) is a technique that emphasizes structures of interest (SOIs) within a volume visually, while simultaneously depicting adjacent regional information, e.g., the spatial location of a structure concerning its neighbors. In DVR, transfer function (TF) plays a key role by enabling accurate identification of SOIs interactively as well as ensuring appropriate visibility of them. TF generation typically involves non-intuitive trial-and-error optimization of rendering parameters, which is time-consuming and inefficient. Attempts at mitigating this manual process have led to approaches that make use of a knowledge database consisting of pre-designed TFs by domain experts. In these approaches, a user navigates the knowledge database to find the most suitable pre-designed TF for their input volume to visualize the SOIs. Although these approaches potentially reduce the workload to generate the TFs, they, however, require manual TF navigation of the knowledge database, as well as the likely fine tuning of the selected TF to suit the input. In this work, we propose a TF design approach, CBR-TF, where we introduce a new content-based retrieval (CBR) method to automatically navigate the knowledge database. Instead of pre-designed TFs, our knowledge database contains volumes with SOI labels. Given an input volume, our CBR-TF approach retrieves relevant volumes (with SOI labels) from the knowledge database; the retrieved labels are then used to generate and optimize TFs of the input. This approach largely reduces manual TF navigation and fine tuning. For our CBR-TF approach, we introduce a novel volumetric image feature which includes both a local primitive intensity profile along the SOIs and regional spatial semantics available from the co-planar images to the profile. For the regional spatial semantics, we adopt a convolutional neural network to obtain high-level image feature representations. For the intensity profile, we extend the dynamic time warping technique to address subtle alignment differences between similar profiles (SOIs). Finally, we propose a two-stage CBR scheme to enable the use of these two different feature representations in a complementary manner, thereby improving SOI retrieval performance. We demonstrate the capabilities of our CBR-TF approach with comparison with a conventional approach in visualization, where an intensity profile matching algorithm is used, and also with potential use-cases in medical volume visualization.
