Abstract Various deep learning models have been proposed for the accurate assisted diagnosis of early-stage Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Most studies predominantly employ Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), which focus solely on local features, thus encountering difficulties in handling global features. In contrast to natural images, Structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (sMRI) images exhibit a higher number of channel dimensions. However, during the Position Embedding stage of Multi Head Self Attention (MHSA), the coded information related to the channel dimension is disregarded. To tackle these issues, we propose the RepBoTNet-CESA network, an advanced AD-aided diagnostic model that is capable… More >

Abstract In this paper, we propose a parameterization transfer algorithm for planar domains bounded by B-spline curves, where the shapes of the planar domains are similar. The domain geometries are considered to be similar if their simplified skeletons have the same structures. One domain we call source domain, and it is parameterized using multi-patch B-spline surfaces. The resulting parameterization is C1 continuous in the regular region and G1 continuous around singular points regardless of whether the parameterization of the source domain is C1/G1 continuous or not. In this algorithm, boundary control points of the source domain… More >

Abstract The aerodynamic optimization design of high-speed trains (HSTs) is crucial for energy conservation, environmental preservation, operational safety, and speeding up. This study aims to review the current state and progress of the aerodynamic multi-objective optimization of HSTs. First, the study explores the impact of train nose shape parameters on aerodynamic performance. The parameterization methods involved in the aerodynamic multiobjective optimization of HSTs are summarized and classified as shape-based and disturbance-based parameterization methods. Meanwhile, the advantages and limitations of each parameterization method, as well as the applicable scope, are briefly discussed. In addition, the NSGA-II algorithm,… More >

Abstract We propose a new method to generate surface quadrilateral mesh by calculating a globally defined parameterization with feature constraints. In the field of quadrilateral generation with features, the cross field methods are well-known because of their superior performance in feature preservation. The methods based on metrics are popular due to their sound theoretical basis, especially the Ricci flow algorithm. The cross field methods’ major part, the Poisson equation, is challenging to solve in three dimensions directly. When it comes to cases with a large number of elements, the computational costs are expensive while the methods… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Lattice structures with excellent physical properties have attracted great research interest. In this paper, a novel volume parametric modeling method based on the skeleton model is proposed for the construction of three-dimensional lattice structures. The skeleton model is divided into three types of nodes. And the corresponding algorithms are utilized to construct diverse types of volume parametric nodes. The unit-cell is assembled with distinct nodes according to the geometric features. The final lattice structure is created by the periodic arrangement of unit-cells. Several different types of volume parametric lattice structures are constructed to prove the More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Hypersoft set is an extension of soft set as it further partitions each attribute into its corresponding attribute-valued set. This structure is more flexible and useful as it addresses the limitation of soft set for dealing with the scenarios having disjoint attribute-valued sets corresponding to distinct attributes. The main purpose of this study is to make the existing literature regarding neutrosophic parameterized soft set in line with the need of multi-attribute approximate function. Firstly, we conceptualize the neutrosophic parameterized hypersoft sets under the settings of fuzzy set, intuitionistic fuzzy set and neutrosophic set along with More >

Abstract This study proposes an efficient algorithm for improving flattening result of triangular mesh surface patches having a convex shape. The proposed approach, based on barycentric mapping technique, incorporates a dynamic virtual boundary, which considerably improves initial mapping result. The dynamic virtual boundary approach is utilized to reduce the distortions for the triangles near the boundary caused by the nature of convex combination technique. Mapping results of the proposed algorithm and the base technique are compared by area and shape accuracy metrics measured for several sample surfaces. The results prove the success of the proposed approach More >
