With the development of science and technology and the continuous changes of social environment, the development prospect of traditional cinema is worrying. This work aims to improve the publicity effect of movie posters and optimize the marketing efficiency of movie posters and promote the development of film and television industry. First, the design concept of high grossing movie posters is discussed. Then, the concept of movie poster analysis based on Deep Learning (DL) technology is analyzed under Big Data Technology. Finally, a movie poster analysis model is designed based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) technology under DL and is evaluated. The results demonstrate that the learning curve of the CNN model reported here is the best in the evaluation of model performance in movie poster analysis. Besides, the learning rate of the model is basically stable when the number of iterations is about 500. The final loss value is around 0.5. Meanwhile, the accuracy rate of the model is also stable at the number of iterations of about 500, and the accuracy rate of the model is around 0.9. In addition, the recognition accuracy of the model designed here in movie poster classification recognition is generally between 60% and 85% in performing theme, style, composition, color scheme, set, and product recognition of movie posters. Moreover, the evaluation of the model in the movie poster style composition suggests that the style composition of movie poster production dramatically varies in different films, in which movie posters focus most on movie product, style, and theme. Compared with other models, the performance of this model is more outstanding in all aspects, which shows that this work has achieved a great technical breakthrough. This work provides a reference for the optimization of the design method of movie posters and contributes to the development of the movie industry.

Sharing nonlocality refers to whether the postmeasurement state in a Bell test can be reused to demonstrate nonlocality among multiple observers conducting sequential measurements. It has become one of fascinating and challenging topics in the past decade. In this study, we shift the nonlocality sharing scenario to near the Schwarzschild black hole to explore how Hawking radiation affects sequential nonlocality sharing. In the ideal case without Hawking radiation, Alice and Bob share a maximally entangled pure state. Bob measures his half and then passes it to a second Bob, who repeats the measurement process, and so on. Previous studies have shown that Bob can perform an infinite number of measurements to achieve nonlocality sharing with Alice. If only Alice or Bob is affected by Hawking radiation, the number of shares becomes finite and depends on the Hawking temperature. Unfortunately, when both are exposed to Hawking radiation, sharing nonlocality becomes nearly impossible. However, we can overcome this limitation by introducing auxiliary entangled sources. By adding several observers sharing an entangled state with Alice, we form a star network. Our results indicate that with these auxiliary sources, sequential network nonlocality sharing is achievable within this star network.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) may cause damage to the memory cells permanently, which results in the form of dementia. The diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease at an early stage is a problematic task for researchers. For this, machine learning and deep convolutional neural network (CNN) based approaches are readily available to solve various problems related to brain image data analysis. In clinical research, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to diagnose AD. For accurate classification of dementia stages, we need highly discriminative features obtained from MRI images. Recently advanced deep CNN-based models successfully proved their accuracy. However, due to a smaller number of image samples available in the datasets, there exist problems of over-fitting hindering the performance of deep learning approaches. In this research, we developed a Siamese convolutional neural network (SCNN) model inspired by VGG-16 (also called Oxford Net) to classify dementia stages. In our approach, we extend the insufficient and imbalanced data by using augmentation approaches. Experiments are performed on a publicly available dataset open access series of imaging studies (OASIS), by using the proposed approach, an excellent test accuracy of 99.05% is achieved for the classification of dementia stages. We compared our model with the state-of-the-art models and discovered that the proposed model outperformed the state-of-the-art models in terms of performance, efficiency, and accuracy.

When deploying multi-node small radar networks in cities or mountains, it is crucial to consider the influence of terrain. The propagation of radio waves in areas with known three-dimensional (3D) terrain differs significantly from that in free space. However, existing radar deployment optimization methods often rely on simplistic propagation models that do not accurately capture the variations in coverage at different heights. Therefore, the parabolic equation model (PEM) is first introduced to radar network deployment considering terrain constraints. After obtaining coverage results for different altitude layers, the Layered Effective Coverage Rate (LECR) is proposed as our optimization objective. Then, the nondominated sorting genetic algorithm III (NSGA-III) is employed to address this multi-objective optimization problem. Finally, the experimental results demonstrate the superiority of introducing PEM and the effectiveness of NSGA-III.

Ground clutter data are usually generated using a statistical model, but they cannot effectively reflect the spatial distribution characteristics of ground objects. It is important in practical projects to effectively predict ground clutter when terrain data are known. In this paper, a scheme of ground clutter simulation based on the three-dimensional parabolic equation (3DPE) model is proposed. Radio wave propagation was modeled by the PE model and the spatial field distribution was solved. After the radar cross section (RCS) calculation based on space cells, the ground clutter information data were obtained. Then the radar echo was obtained and the clutter map was simulated. The simulation experimental results show that the ground clutter map simulated by the proposed method has a good reference value, meets the demand of strong clutter area prediction under known terrain conditions, and provides a theoretical basis for radar location and optimal deployment.

Background The intestinal epithelial barrier, which works as the first line of defense between the luminal environment and the host, once destroyed, it will cause serious inflammation or other intestinal diseases. Tight junctions (TJs) play a vital role to maintain the integrity of the epithelial barrier. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), one of the most important inflammatory factors will downregulate specific TJ proteins including Occludin and Claudin-1 and impair integrity of the epithelial barrier. Betaine has excellent anti-inflammatory activity but whether betaine has any effect on TJ proteins, particularly on LPS-induced dysfunction of epithelial barriers remains unknown. The purpose of this study is to explore the pharmacological effect of betaine on improving intestinal barrier function represented by TJ proteins. Intestinal porcine epithelial cells (IPEC-J2) were used as an in vitro model. Results The results demonstrated that betaine enhanced the expression of TJ proteins while LPS (1 μg/mL) downregulates the expression of these proteins. Furthermore, betaine attenuates LPS-induced decreases of TJ proteins both shown by Western blot (WB) and Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The immunofluorescent images consistently revealed that LPS induced the disruption of TJ protein Claudin-1 and reduced its expression while betaine could reverse these alterations. Similar protective role of betaine on intestinal barrier function was observed by transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) approach. Conclusion In conclusion, our research demonstrated that betaine attenuated LPS-induced downregulation of Occludin and Claudin-1 and restored the intestinal barrier function.

Inaccurate Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) navigation information will lead to unknown phase errors in SAR data. Uncompensated phase errors can blur the SAR images. Autofocus is a technique that can automatically estimate phase errors from data. However, existing autofocus algorithms either have poor focusing quality or a slow focusing speed. In this paper, an ensemble learning-based autofocus method is proposed. Convolutional Extreme Learning Machine (CELM) is constructed and utilized to estimate the phase error. However, the performance of a single CELM is poor. To overcome this, a novel, metric-based combination strategy is proposed, combining multiple CELMs to further improve the estimation accuracy. The proposed model is trained with the classical bagging-based ensemble learning method. The training and testing process is non-iterative and fast. Experimental results conducted on real SAR data show that the proposed method has a good trade-off between focusing quality and speed.

Due to the scarcity and high cost of labeled hyperspectral image (HSI) samples, many deep learning methods driven by massive data cannot achieve the intended expectations. Semi-supervised and self-supervised algorithms have advantages in coping with this phenomenon. This paper primarily concentrates on applying self-supervised strategies to make strides in semi-supervised HSI classification. Notably, we design an effective and a unified self-supervised assisted semi-supervised residual network (SSRNet) framework for HSI classification. The SSRNet contains two branches, i.e., a semi-supervised and a self-supervised branch. The semi-supervised branch improves performance by introducing HSI data perturbation via a spectral feature shift. The self-supervised branch characterizes two auxiliary tasks, including masked bands reconstruction and spectral order forecast, to memorize the discriminative features of HSI. SSRNet can better explore unlabeled HSI samples and improve classification performance. Extensive experiments on four benchmarks datasets, including Indian Pines, Pavia University, Salinas, and Houston2013, yield an average overall classification accuracy of 81.65%, 89.38%, 93.47% and 83.93%, which sufficiently demonstrate that SSRNet can exceed expectations compared to state-of-the-art methods.

Studies in general population reported a positive association between tobacco smoking and airflow obstruction (AFO), a hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, this attempt was less addressed in silica dust-exposed workers. This retrospective cohort study consisted of 4481 silicotic workers attending the Pneumoconiosis Clinic during 1981-2019. The lifelong work history and smoking habits of these workers were extracted from medical records. Spirometry was carried out at the diagnosis of silicosis (n = 4177) and reperformed after an average of 9.4 years of follow-up (n = 2648). AFO was defined as forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)/force vital capacity (FVC) less than lower limit of normal (LLN). The association of AFO with smoking status was determined using multivariate logistics regression, and the effect of smoking cessation on the development of AFO was evaluated Cox regression. Smoking was significantly associated with AFO (current smokers: OR = 1.92, 95% CI 1.51-2.44; former smokers: OR = 2.09, 95% CI 1.65-2.66). The risk of AFO significantly increased in the first 3 years of quitting smoking (OR = 1.23, 95% CI 1.02-1.47) but decreased afterwards with increasing years of cessation. Smoking cessation reduced the risk of developing AFO no matter before or after the confirmation of silicosis (pre-silicosis cessation: HR = 0.58, 95% CI 0.46-0.74; post-silicosis cessation: HR = 0.62, 95% CI 0.48-0.79). Smoking cessation significantly reduced the risk of AFO in the workers with silicosis, although the health benefit was not observed until 3 years of abstinence. These findings highlight the importance of early and long-term smoking cessation among silicotic or silica dust-exposed workers.

Aircraft identification has been a research hotspot in remote-sensing fields. However, due to the presence of clouds in satellite-borne optical imagery, it is difficult to identify aircraft using a single optical image. In this paper, a Multi-path Interactive Network (MIN) is proposed to fuse Optical and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images for aircraft identification on cloudy days. First, features are extracted from optical and SAR images separately by convolution backbones of ResNet-34. Second, a piecewise residual fusion strategy is proposed to reduce the effect of clouds. A plug-and-play Interactive Attention Sum-Max fusion module (IASM), is thus constructed to interact with features from multi-modal images. Moreover, multi-path IASM is designed to mix multi-modal features from backbones. Finally, the fused features are sent to the neck and head of MIN for regression and classification. Extensive experiments are carried out on the Fused Cloudy Aircraft Detection (FCAD) dataset that is constructed, and the results show the efficiency of MIN in identifying aircraft under clouds with different thicknesses.Compared with the single-source model, the multi-source fusion model MIN is improved by more than 20%, and the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches.
