摘要Objective This study examined the associations between multidimensional body composition modalities and brain aging in Chinese adults.Methods Brain age was estimated using ridge regression based on 24 head computed tomographyderived neuroanatomical indicators in a Chinese cohort(n=557).Brain age gap(BAG),the deviation between the predicted brain age and chronological age(CA),was categorized into brain age acceleration(BAG>0)and deceleration(BAG<0)groups.Principal component analysis of 22 correlationindependent body composition indicators identified different body composition modalities.Logistic regression was used to examine the associations between these modalities and the BAG groups.Results The mean absolute error of brain age in predicting CA was 6.41 years.Three body composition modalities were identified:fat mass dominant(characterized by high loading coefficients of body fat mass,fat mass index,visceral fat level,and fat-to-lean mass ratio);fat-free mass dominant;and trunkleg contrast distribution.The fat mass dominant modality was significantly associated with brain age acceleration(odds ratio[OR]=1.40,95%confidence interval[CI]:1.15‒1.71),and the association was robust in sensitivity analyses.Conclusion The fat mass dominant modality was significantly associated with accelerated brain aging.This study suggests integrating deep body composition indicators into clinical and community health screening could aid in targeted prevention of brain aging.
摘要Purpose-The purpose of this study is to examine the determinants of modal shift intention from road freight transport to rail freight in Morocco,focusing on the perceived economic,energy and environmental performance of rail freight.Design/methodology/approach-A quantitative survey was conducted among key freight transport stakeholders,including road carriers,industrial shippers,logistics operators and experts.A total of 483 valid questionnaires were collected.Measurement scales were derived from the literature and adapted to the Moroccan context.Data were analyzed using SPSS through descriptive statistics,reliability analysis,correlation tests and multiple linear regression.Findings-The results indicate generally positive perceptions of rail freight,particularly regarding energy efficiency and environmental performance.All three perceived performance dimensions have a positive and significant effect on modal shift intention.Perceived energy performance emerges as the strongest predictor,followed by environmental impact,while economic performance shows a significant but more moderate influence.The model demonstrates strong explanatory power.Research limitations/implications-The study relies on perceptual data and a non-probabilistic sampling approach,which may limit the generalizability of the findings.Future research could integrate objective cost,energy and emission data;apply longitudinal designs or extend the model by incorporating institutional,infrastructural and policy-related variables to further explain rail freight adoption.Practical implications-The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers,rail operators and logistics managers by highlighting the key levers for promoting rail freight development.Strengthening rail energy efficiency,improving service reliability and enhancing intermodal integration can significantly increase stakeholders’willingness to shift freight from road to rail.Social implications-By encouraging modal shift toward rail freight,the study supports broader societal objectives related to environmental protection,energy security and sustainable development.Increased use of rail freight can contribute to reduced greenhouse gas emissions,lower road congestion and improved quality of life in urban and industrial areas.Originality/value-This study provides one of the first empirical investigations of rail freight modal shift determinants in Morocco,offering an integrated analysis of economic,energy and environmental factors within a single conceptual framework.

摘要Multimodal MRI(magnetic resonance imaging)provides critical complementary information for accurate brain tumor segmentation.However,conventional methods struggle when certain modalities are missing due to issues like image quality,protocol inconsistencies,patient allergies,or financial constraints.To address this,we propose a robust single-modality parallel processing framework that achieves high segmentation accuracy even with incomplete modalities.Leveraging Hölder divergence and mutual information,our model maintains modality-specific features while dynamically adjusting network parameters based on available inputs.By using these divergence and information-based loss functions,the framework effectively quantifies discrepancies between predictions and ground-truth labels,resulting in consistently accurate segmentation.Extensive evaluations on the Bra TS 2018 and Bra TS 2020 datasets demonstrate superior performance over existing methods in handling missing modalities,with ablation studies validating each component's contribution to the framework.

摘要This article extends the foundational work of Wang and Wang on modal logic over lattices.Building upon their framework using polyadic modal logic with binary modalitiesandunder standard Kripke semantics to axiomatize lattice structures,we focus on the modal characterization of bounded lattices and their extensions relevant to logical systems.By introducing nullary modalities 1(maximum element)and 0(minimum element),we first establish a modal axiomatic system for bounded lattices.Subsequently,we provide pure formula characterizations of complementation and orthocomplementation relations in lattices,along with corresponding completeness results.As key applications,we present modal characterizations of fundamental logical algebraic structures:Boolean algebras,orthomodular lattices,and Heyting algebras.The last section develops novel axiomatization results for atomic lattices and atomless lattices.Throughout this work,all axiomatic systems are shown to be strongly complete via pureformula extensions,demonstrating how hybrid modal languages with nullary operators can uniformly capture boundary elements,complementation properties,and latticetheoretic operations central to both classical and nonclassical logics.
摘要Background:Large language models(LLMs)are becoming more commonly used in many aspects of radiology.Some authors have previously tested the capacity of various LLMs to suggest the correct imaging modality according to the guidelines of various associations,such as the American College of Radiology.This study aims to test whether free LLMs can suggest the most appropriate imaging modality in various musculoskeletal radiological cases.Methods:We tested ChatGPT 3.5,Google Bard,and Copilot(Precise)to see if they could correctly suggest the appropriate imaging modality per the American College of Radiology's Appropriateness Criteria,using clinical vignettes from the musculoskeletal section.Seventy-six vignettes were submitted to each chatbot,with the answer only being considered correct if it was the most appropriate according to the guidelines.Results:ChatGPT 3.5 was correct in 82% of cases,Bard in 66%,and Copilot in 89% of cases.Bard was unable to answer in four cases,claiming that as a LLM,it was not capable of answering the question.Conclusions:We found that all three LLMs were able to suggest the correct modality in a majority of cases.However,there was variability in the performance of the LLMs,with Copilot performing the best overall,with an accuracy of 89%.
摘要Advanced intensity measures(IMs)based on an inelastic deformation spectrum improved the evaluation of the median engineering demand parameters(EDPs)and reduced dispersion.In this regard,an optimized two-degreefreedom(2DOF)modal pushover-based scaling procedure(2DMPS)has been developed for a nonlinear dynamic analysis of asymmetric in-plan buildings.The 2DMPS procedure scales ground motions to approach close enough to a target value of the inelastic displacement of the first-mode inelastic 2DOF modal stick,extended for structures with significant contributions of higher modes.Further,4-,6-and 13-story RC SMRF buildings were selected for analyses using ground motion records scaled by the 2DMPS procedure,the modal pushover-based scaling method(MPS),and ASCE/SEI 7-16 scaling procedures.The median values of EDPs on scaled records closely matched the benchmark results.The bias in the EDP values due to the scaled records in every group regarding their median value was lower than the dispersion of the 21 unscaled records.These results generally demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the 2DMPS method.Additionally,the 2DOF modal stick’s inelastic response spectra are better suited for calculating seismic demands for one-way asymmetric-plan structures than the SDOF inelastic response spectra.
摘要Modeling bounded response variables is an important problem in computational statistics,especially in applications involving skewed,heavy-tailed data.In such cases,the modal regression is a robust alternative to traditional mean-based modeling approaches.In this study,a new bounded distribution,called the extended Bradford distribution,is proposed as a flexible extension of the classical Bradford distribution.By incorporating an additional shape parameter,the corresponding model can capture various shape structures,such as left and right skewness,increasing,and bathtub hazard shapes.The new distribution provides an explicit expression for the mode,making it suitable for modal regression.Based on this,a parametric modal regression model is developed,and parameter estimation is performed via the maximum likelihood method.The behavior of the estimators is investigated through comprehensive simulation studies.The practical usefulness of the proposed model is illustrated through applications,where the proposed model provides an improved fit compared to several competing models.In addition,an interactive R Shiny application is developed to facilitate the implementation,computation,and visualization of the model.

摘要Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis(AIS)is a common spinal disorder characterized by deviations in the coronal,sagittal,and axial planes.As AIS progresses with age,it compromises biomechanical function and increasingly impacts pulmonary function and psychological well-being.Bracing and Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis-Specific Exercises(PSSE)are commonly used conservative treatments for AIS.However,Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)has been gaining increasing attention in conservative AIS management.This study examines the effectiveness of TCM and its integrative therapies in AIS treatment,with particular emphasis on the foundational TCM concept of“preventive treatment of disease”.A three-level prevention strategy is proposed,highlighting the importance of early detection,timely treatment,and proactive intervention.This framework aims to promote a scientific understanding of TCM approaches and their synergistic use with other therapies in AIS management,offering new perspectives and potential directions for future.
摘要Attempts in the 1970s to outline Ockham’s modalities are helpful as they point out the temporal character of Ockham’s theory of modalities.However,this important insight has been neglected for several decades.Falessi and Schang(2023)is one of the few recent serious attempts to work out a semantic for Ockham’s modalities,resorts to possible worlds semantics and largely disregards temporal aspects.This paper begins with a synopsis of important modern approaches to semantics for Ockham’s modalities,and proceeds with a discussion on methodological problems concerning a representation of medieval logic and a clarification of Ockham’s modal terms.After that,it examines Falessi and Schang’s approach in detail,and assesses it against Ockham’s own texts and understandings.In doing so,we identify what is inadequate in Falessi and Schang’s reconstruction,enabling a return to Ockham’s own texts and with the aid of modern logical tools the development of a new approach to represent Ockham’s understanding of modalities.We ultimately arrive at a time-based relational semantics without branching time for the representation of several key features of Ockham’s modalities.

摘要With the sustained growth of live video streaming,the demand for high-quality video services for mobile users across diverse network environments is increasing rapidly.In this paper,we define the network fluctuation characteristics in different environments as network modality.To comprehensively investigate network modality across different environments,we construct a network modality dataset by collecting multi-dimensional network metrics from various real-world scenarios and suggest that network modality exhibits separability.Therefore,network modality recognition,which aims to distinguish the scenarios where a user is located based on network modality sequences,is feasible and can be formulated as a multivariate time series(MTS)classification problem.To address this problem,we propose a novel neural network(NN)-based classification model called ACTap.Specifically,the model first integrates a two-stage attention(TSA)mechanism and a convolutional neural network(CNN)to extract features from network modality sequences.Then,it filters out noisy feature representations to learn discriminative class prototypes,and finally recognizes network modality based on the distance between their feature representations and class prototypes.Experimental results validate the separability of network modality and show that ACTap outperforms four benchmark models in terms of classification accuracy on the network modality dataset.

摘要In modal logic,topological semantics is an intuitive and natural special case of neighbourhood semantics.This paper stems from the observation that the satisfaction relation of topological semantics applies to subset spaces which are more general than topological spaces.The minimal modal logic which is strongly sound and complete with respect to the class of subset spaces is found.Soundness and completeness results of some famous modal logics(e.g.S4,S5 and Tr)with respect to various important classes of subset spaces(eg intersection structures and complete fields of sets)are also proved.In the meantime,some known results,e.g.the soundness and completeness of Tr with respect to the class of discrete topological spaces,are proved directly using some modifications of the method of canonical mode1,without a detour via neighbourhood semantics or relational semantics.

摘要Normal mode extraction has attracted extensive attention over the past few decades due to its practical value in enhancing the performance of underwater acoustic signal processing.Singular value decomposition(SVD)is an effective method to extract modal depth functions using vertical line arrays(VLA),particularly in scenarios when no prior environment information is available.However,the SVD method requires rigorous orthogonality conditions,and its performance severely degenerates in the presence of mode degeneracy.Consequently,the SVD approach is often not feasible in practical scenarios.This paper proposes a full rank decomposition(FRD)method to address these issues.Compared to the SVD method,the FRD method has three distinct advantages:1)the conditions that the FRD method requires are much easier to be fulfilled in practical scenarios;2)both modal depth functions and wavenumbers can be simultaneously extracted via the FRD method;3)the FRD method is not affected by the phenomenon of mode degeneracy.Numerical simulations are conducted in two types of waveguides to verify the FRD method.The impacts of environment configurations and noise levels on the precision of the extracted modal depth functions and wavenumbers are also investigated through simulation.
