The reliability, scalability, and stability of routing schemes are open challenges in highly evolving vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). Cluster-based routing is an efficient solution to cope with the dynamic and inconsistent structure of VANETs. In this paper, we propose a cluster-based routing scheme (hereinafter referred to as connectivity-based clustering), where link connectivity is used as a metric for cluster formation and cluster head (CH) selection. Link connectivity is a function of vehicle density and transmission range in the proposed connectivity-based clustering scheme. Moreover, we used a heuristic approach of spectral clustering for the optimal number of cluster formation. Lastly, an appropriate vehicle is selected as a CH based on the maximum Eigen-centrality score. The simulation results show that the suggested connectivity-based clustering scheme performs well in the optimal number of cluster selections, strongly connected (STC) route selection, and route request messages (RRMs) in the discovery of a particular path to the destination. Thus, we conclude that link connectivity and the heuristic approach of spectral clustering are valuable additions to existing routing schemes for high evolving networks. Full article

Currently, patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) have two treatment options: nonoperative conservative treatment and surgical treatment. Because surgery is invasive, patients often prefer conservative treatment as their first choice to avoid risks from surgery. However, the effectiveness of nonoperative conservative treatment for patients with LSS may be lower than expected because of individual differences. Rules to determine whether patients with LSS should undergo surgical treatment merits exploration. In addition, without a decision-making system to assist patients undergoing conservative treatment to decide whether to undergo surgical treatment, medical professionals may encounter difficulty in providing the best treatment advice. This study collected medical record data and magnetic resonance imaging diagnostic data from patients with LSS, analyzed and consolidated the data through data mining techniques, identified crucial factors and rules affecting the final outcome the patients with LSS who opted for conservative treatment and ultimately underwent surgical treatment, and, finally, established an effective prediction model. This study applied logistic regression (LGR) and decision tree algorithms to extract the crucial features and combined them with back propagation neural networks (BPNN) and support vector machines (SVM) to establish the prediction model. The crucial features obtained are as follows: reduction of the intervertebral disc height, age, blood pressure difference, leg pain, gender, etc. Among the models predicting whether patients with LSS ultimately underwent surgical treatment, the model combining LGR and the decision tree for feature selection with a BPNN has a testing accuracy rate of 94.87%, sensitivity of 0.9, specificity of 1, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.952. Adopting these data mining techniques to predict whether patients with LSS who opted for conservative treatment ultimately underwent surgical treatment may assist medical professionals in reaching a treatment decision and provide clearer treatment. This may effectively mitigate disease progression, aid the goals of precision medicine, and ultimately enhance the quality of health care. Full article

Manual font design is difficult and requires professional knowledge and skills to perform. Therefore, how to automatically generate the required fonts is a very challenging research task. On the other hand, there are few people who have studied the relationship between fonts and emotions, and common fonts generally cannot reflect emotional information. This paper proposes an Emotional Guidance GAN: an automatic Chinese font generation framework based on Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), which enables the generated fonts to reflect human emotional information. First, an elaborated questionnaire system was developed from Tencent company, which aims to quantitatively figure out the relationship between fonts and emotions. A visual expression recognition part is designed based on the trained model to provide a font generation module with conditional information. Moreover, the Emotional Guidance GAN (EG-GAN) with EM Distance and Gradient Penalty, as well as classification strategies, is proposed to generate new fonts with combined multiple styles that infer by an expression recognition module. The results of the evaluation experiments and the resolution of the synthesized font characters show the credibility of our model. Full article
