A lightweight deep-learning model for parasite egg detection in microscopy images by Wenbin Xu, Qiang Zhai, Jizhong Liu, Xingyu Xu, Jing Hua

“…Different from the FPN structure, which mainly integrates semantic feature information at adjacent levels, the hierarchical and asymptotic aggregation structure of AFPN can fully fuse the spatial contextual information of egg images, and its adaptive spatial feature fusion mode can help the model select beneficial feature and ignore redundant information, thereby reducing computational complexity and improving detection performance. …”

Synergistic Evaluation and Constraint Factor Analysis on Urban Industrial Ecosystems of Traditional Industrial Area in China by Chengpeng Lu, Wei Ji, Zhiliang Liu, Shuheng Dong, Bing Xue

“…Based on the PSR model, this paper builds a comprehensive evaluation index system for urban industrial ecosystem development and selects 14 prefecture-level cities in Liaoning Province of the traditional industrial area in Northeastern China as cases to calculate the development level of its industrial ecosystem during 2000–2018 using an improved Topsis method and then to conduct a spatial visualization analysis. Finally, based on the “stress-state-response” subsystem, this paper diagnoses the constraints for industrial ecosystem development, which can provide a reference basis for decision-making in industrial ecology of traditional industrial area represented by those in Northeast China. …”
