摘要Consumer electronics,with 62 million tons of electronic waste(e-waste)generated in 2022 and e-waste expected to grow to 82 million tons annually by 2030,pose critical challenges when it comes to national infrastructure and circular economy policies.This paper compares forecasting approaches using sparse panel data for 32 European countries(2005-2018,Eurostat/Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment(WEEE)Directive),focusing on leakage-safe prospective validation to guarantee true predictive performance.We make one-step-ahead predictions with conservative features(primarily lagged values)to account for temporal autocorrelation but with reduced multicollinearity(Variance Inflation Factor(VIF)≈1.0).Cross-paradigm comparisons such as time-series baselines Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average(ARIMA),Seasonal ARIMA(SARIMA),Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM),hierarchical mixed-effects models,pooled machine learning(9 methods),and block-bootstrap-augmented stacking ensembles demonstrate stacking’s effectiveness,with a weighted validation R2 of 0.992 for held-out 2017-2018 data.Time-series approaches demonstrate negligible predictive power(mean R2=−9683)given non-stationarity and limited samples,while the hierarchical approach provides virtually no benefit(Intraclass Correlation Coefficient(ICC)0.011)amidst computational instability.Bootstrapping improves high-variance tonnage forecasts(Root Mean Squared Error(RMSE)reductions of 18.6%)while being detrimental to stable units,thus reinforcing parsimony.Feature ablation validates that only a few lags are necessary,preventing leakage from rolling means or calendar trends.Our method enables conservative year-ahead forecasts with quantified uncertainty,conservative estimates of e-waste management,allowing for buffer planning and policies even when data is scarce.By using strictly out-of-sample tests rather than biased ones,this work characterizes achievable year-ahead performance under sparse annual panels.

摘要Adversarial examples in object detection frequently fail to transfer between different models because attacks overfit to the source model’s architecture and feature space.We propose AugTrans,a framework that addresses this limitation through input-space regularization.Our key innovation is a multi-stage augmentation pipeline that incorporates object-level semantic awareness into transformation design.The pipeline comprises three novel components:dynamic object-centric rotation with adaptive scheduling,multi-box aware resizing based on ground-truth annotations,and composite noise injection.These transformations are integrated within the Expectation over Transformation(EOT)framework.By optimizing perturbations to remain effective across semantically meaningful transformations,our method forces attacks to target vulnerabilities shared across architectures.Experiments on MS COCO demonstrate that our method reduces YOLOv5s mean Average Precision(AP)from 32.6%to 2.06%,substantially outperforming prior general-purpose transfer methods on one-stage detectors.All AP values denote COCO-style mean Average Precision(mAP@[0.5:0.95])unless noted.Importantly,our method maintains effectiveness when using predicted bounding boxes(1.93%AP),eliminating the ground-truth dependency for practical black-box scenarios.Our approach also demonstrates competitive transferability to transformer-based detectors(DETR-R50 AP:2.8%,DINO-R50 AP:5.4%),although specialized transformer-specific methods achieve superior performance when the target architecture is known.These results establish that semantically aware augmentation constitutes an effective strategy for generating transferable attacks.We discuss both the security implications and potential defensive applications of our findings.
摘要BACKGROUND Charcot neuroarthropathy of the ankle presents significant surgical challenges with conventional tibiotalocalcaneal(TTC)fusion techniques often prioritizing mechanical stability while neglecting biological deficiencies,resulting in high non-union rates.This study evaluated a refined surgical approach integrating biological augmentation with fibular preservation.AIM To evaluate trans-malleolar TTC fusion with bone marrow aspirate(BMA)-soaked allograft and fibular preservation for chronic Charcot ankle arthropathy.METHODS We conducted a retrospective case series of 24 adult patients with chronic ankle Charcot arthropathy who underwent TTC fusion with biologic augmentation between 2023 and 2024 at a tertiary care trauma center.The technique involved a transmalleolar approach with fibular preservation,comprehensive joint preparation,and biologic augmentation using BMA-soaked allograft.Outcomes were assessed using the validated American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society hindfoot scale and Short Form-36 health survey with comprehensive radiographic evaluation.RESULTS At a mean follow-up of 1.5 years,100%(24/24)of patients achieved successful TTC fusion confirmed by robust bony bridging.Mean American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society scores demonstrated significant improvement from 31.2±9.1 preoperatively to 76.8±14.2 at the final follow-up(P<0.001),exceeding the minimal clinically important difference.Short Form-36 scores showed significant improvements across all domains with physical function scores improving from 29.4±10.8 to 72.1±15.3(P<0.001).Complications included breakage of both fibular fixation screws managed conservatively without compromising stability,nail protrusion requiring a minor removal procedure,and a periprosthetic tibial fracture treated conservatively with walker boot immobilization.No major infections,wound complications,or amputations were observed.CONCLUSION Trans-malleolar TTC fusion with BMA-soaked allograft and fibular preservation achieved high union and improved outcomes in chronic Charcot ankle arthropathy.

摘要Legal case classification involves the categorization of legal documents into predefined categories,which facilitates legal information retrieval and case management.However,real-world legal datasets often suffer from class imbalances due to the uneven distribution of case types across legal domains.This leads to biased model performance,in the form of high accuracy for overrepresented categories and underperformance for minority classes.To address this issue,in this study,we propose a data augmentation method that masks unimportant terms within a document selectively while preserving key terms fromthe perspective of the legal domain.This approach enhances data diversity and improves the generalization capability of conventional models.Our experiments demonstrate consistent improvements achieved by the proposed augmentation strategy in terms of accuracy and F1 score across all models,validating the effectiveness of the proposed method in legal case classification.

摘要Quality control plays a critical role in modern manufacturing.With the rapid development of electric vehicles,5G communications,and the semiconductor industry,high-speed and high-precision detection of surface defects on silicon carbide(SiC)wafers has become essential.This study developed an automated inspection framework for identifying surface defects on SiC wafers during the coarse grinding stage.Thecomplex machining textures on wafer surfaces hinder conventional machine vision models,often leading to misjudgment.To address this,deep learning algorithms were applied for defect classification.Because defects are rare and imbalanced across categories,data augmentation was performed using aWasserstein generative adversarial network with gradient penalty(WGAN-GP),along with conventionalmethods.An improved YOLOv8-seg instance segmentationmodel was then trained and tested on datasets with different augmentation strategies.Experimental results showed that,when trained withWGAN-GP–generated data,YOLOv8-seg achieved mean average precision values of 87.0%(bounding box)and 86.6%(segmentation mask).Compared with the traditional WGAN-GP,the proposed model reduced Frechet inception distance by 32.2%and multiscale structural similarity index by 29.8%,generating more realistic and diverse defect images.The proposed framework effectively improves defect detection accuracy under limited data conditions and shows strong potential for industrial applications.

摘要Sign language is a primary mode of communication for individuals with hearing impairments,conveying meaning through hand shapes and hand movements.Contrary to spoken or written languages,sign language relies on the recognition and interpretation of hand gestures captured in video data.However,sign language datasets remain relatively limited compared to those of other languages,which hinders the training and performance of deep learning models.Additionally,the distinct word order of sign language,unlike that of spoken language,requires context-aware and natural sentence generation.To address these challenges,this study applies data augmentation techniques to build a Korean Sign Language dataset and train recognition models.Recognized words are then reconstructed into complete sentences.The sign recognition process uses OpenCV and MediaPipe to extract hand landmarks from sign language videos and analyzes hand position,orientation,and motion.The extracted features are converted into time-series data and fed into a Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)model.The proposed recognition framework achieved an accuracy of up to 81.25%,while the sentence generation achieved an accuracy of up to 95%.The proposed approach is expected to be applicable not only to Korean Sign Language but also to other low-resource sign languages for recognition and translation tasks.

摘要To address the issues of insufficient and imbalanced data samples in proton exchange membrane fuel cell(PEMFC)performance degradation prediction,this study proposes a data augmentation-based model to predict PEMFC performance degradation.Firstly,an improved generative adversarial network(IGAN)with adaptive gradient penalty coefficient is proposed to address the problems of excessively fast gradient descent and insufficient diversity of generated samples.Then,the IGANis used to generate datawith a distribution analogous to real data,therebymitigating the insufficiency and imbalance of original PEMFC samples and providing the predictionmodel with training data rich in feature information.Finally,a convolutional neural network-bidirectional long short-termmemory(CNN-BiLSTM)model is adopted to predict PEMFC performance degradation.Experimental results show that the data generated by the proposed IGAN exhibits higher quality than that generated by the original GAN,and can fully characterize and enrich the original data’s features.Using the augmented data,the prediction accuracy of the CNN-BiLSTM model is significantly improved,rendering it applicable to tasks of predicting PEMFC performance degradation.

摘要IoT devices are highly vulnerable to cyberattacks due to their widespread,distributed nature and limited security features.Intrusion detection can counter these threats,but class imbalance between normal and abnormal traffic often degrades model performance.We propose a novel multi-generator adversarial data augmentation method that blends the strengths of TMG-GAN(Tabular Multi-Generator Generative Adversarial Network)and R3GAN(Re-GAN).Our approach uses multiple class-specific generators to create diverse,high-quality synthetic samples,improving training stability and minority-class detection.A dual-branch discriminator-classifier enhances authenticity and class prediction,while feature similarity and decoupling techniques ensure clear class separation.Experiments on TON-IoT and Edge-IIoTset datasets show our method outperforms existing techniques like hybrid sampling,SNGAN(Spectral Normalization GAN),and TMG-GAN,achieving higher detection accuracy and better minority-class recall for imbalanced IoT intrusion detection.
摘要1.The traditional paradigm:A fixed sensorimotor loop and its limitations It has been 120 years since Sir Charles Sherrington first introduced the term“proprioception”1and established the foundational understanding of this“sixth sense”(after vision,audition,gustation,olfaction,and touch)that enables us to perceive our body's position and movement in space.
摘要Minimally invasive vertebral augmentation is central to the management of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures(OVCFs)in selected patients.This evidence review summarizes current concepts in the pathogenesis,clinical evaluation,vertebroplasty,kyphoplasty,complications,long-term outcomes,and emerging technologies in OVCFs.Relevant literature from major databases was narratively reviewed,with emphasis on studies involving adult OVCFs,clinical indications,comparative outcomes,and complication prevention.Percutaneous vertebroplasty and percutaneous kyphoplasty both provide rapid pain relief and facilitate mobilization.Kyphoplasty generally offers better vertebral height restoration and kyphosis correction,whereas vertebroplasty is technically simpler,shorter,and often more suitable when procedural burden must be minimized.Current decision-making should integrate fracture acuity,degree of collapse,pain severity,comorbidity profile,and osteoporosis treatment.Recent advances in high-viscosity cement,navigation,robotics,and artificial intelligence may improve accuracy and safety.Long-term benefit depends not only on procedural success but also on comprehensive anti-osteoporosis management and careful patient selection.
摘要Objective:Comprehensively review the latest progress of nasal base filling technology in materials science and surgical approaches,and provide personalized treatment strategies from the perspective of evidence-based medicine based on large sample clinical data.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 1268 patients who underwent nasal base filling surgery in our hospital from January 2018 to December 2025.These patients were divided into the hyaluronic acid group based on different filling materials,with 386 patients in this group.The autologous adipose stem cell gel group,also known as SVF-gel group,had 272 patients,the preformed expanded polytetrafluoroethylene group,also known as ePTFE group,had 315 patients,the autologous rib cartilage group had 214 patients,and the 3D-printed polyether ether ketone group,also known as PEEK group,had 81 patients.Compare the aesthetic effects,incidence of complications,and patient satisfaction of each group at 6,12,and 24 months postoperatively.Results:All patients underwent a follow-up period of 6 to 84 months.At 24 months postoperatively,the aesthetic effect rate was 97.53%in the PEEK group,92.52%in the rib cartilage group,88.25%in the ePTFE group,65.44%in the SVF-gel group,and 41.71%in the hyaluronic acid group.The overall incidence of complications was 3.70%in the PEEK group,6.35%in the ePTFE group,8.88%in the rib cartilage group,12.13%in the SVF-gel group,and 15.54%in the hyaluronic acid group.Conclusion:The 3D-printed PEEK prosthesis has the best long-term stability and the lowest incidence of complications when used for correcting severe bony nasal base depression.Standardized surgical procedures and personalized material approach matching strategies are key to improving surgical outcomes and reducing complications.

摘要Peri-implant keratinized mucosa(PIKM)augmentation refers to surgical procedures aimed at increasing the width of PIKM.Consensus reports emphasize the necessity of maintaining a minimum width of PIKM to ensure long-term peri-implant health.Currently,several surgical techniques have been validated for their effectiveness in increasing PIKM.However,the selection and application of PIKM augmentation methods may present challenges for dental practitioners due to heterogeneity in surgical techniques,variations in clinical scenarios,and anatomical differences.Therefore,clear guidelines and considerations for PIKM augmentation are needed.This expert consensus focuses on the commonly employed surgical techniques for PIKM augmentation and the factors influencing their selection at second-stage surgery.It aims to establish a standardized framework for assessing,planning,and executing PIKM augmentation procedures,with the goal of offering evidence-based guidance to enhance the predictability and success of PIKM augmentation.
