Diffusion models, as a novel generative paradigm, have achieved remarkable success in various image generation tasks such inpainting, image-to-text translation, and video generation. Graph is crucial computational task on graphs with numerous real-world applications. It aims to learn the distribution of given then generate new graphs. Given great diffusion models generation, increasing efforts been made leverage these techniques advance graph recent years. In this paper, we first provide...
This paper identifies 20 critical success factors (CSFs) of innovation in China’s construction projects through literature review, a case study and expert interviews. Integrated Structural Modeling (ISM) MICMAC (Impact Matrix Cross-reference Multiplication Applied to Classification) analysis were used hierarchically structure CSFs as well analyze their inter-relationships. The dependence driver power each factor also analyzed. By doing this, this presents structural clarity establishes...
In recent years, the increasingly significant impacts of climate change and human activities on environment have led to more frequent occurrences extreme events such as forest fires. The recurrent wildfires pose severe threats ecological environments life safety. Consequently, fire prediction has become a current research hotspot, where accurate forecasting technologies are crucial for reducing economic losses, improving management efficiency, ensuring personnel safety property security. To...
A general and efficient procedure for the preparation of 2,6-disubstituted piperidines bearing one alkene- or alkyne-containing substituent was developed by using non-racemic Betti base as a chiral auxiliary. Many benzylamines are excellent auxiliaries, but they were rarely used this purpose because inefficient removal N-benzyl auxiliary residue under non-hydrogenative conditions. We found that N,N-disubstituted derivative has typical Mannich structure o-naphthol. When it carried out...
Objectives. To evaluate the clinical performance of deep learning-enhanced ultrafast single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) bone scans in patients with suspected malignancy.Approach. In this prospective study, 102 potential malignancy were enrolled and underwent a 20 min SPECT/CT 3 SPECT scan. A learning model was applied to generate algorithm-enhanced images (3 DL SPECT). The reference modality Two reviewers independently evaluated general image quality,...
Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with various tracers is increasingly used in Alzheimer's disease (AD) studies. However, access to PET scans using new or less-available sophisticated synthesis and short half-life isotopes may be very limited. Therefore, it of great significance interest AD research assess the feasibility generating synthetic images from image another common tracer, particular
The use of peer-to-peer (P2P) applications is growing dramatically, which results in several serious problems such as the network congestion and traffic hindrance.

By investigating ratio upload download volume applications, characteristic library constructed. Then unknown can be recognized online using library. distinguished features lie...
Partial volume correction (PVC) methods typically improve quantification at the expense of increased image noise and reduced reproducibility. In this study, authors developed a novel voxel-based PVC method that incorporates anatomical knowledge to while suppressing for cardiac SPECT/CT imaging.In proposed method, SPECT images were first reconstructed using anatomical-based maximum posteriori (AMAP) with Bowsher's prior penalize preserving boundaries. A sequential voxel-by-voxel approach...
