Revealing Gender Bias from Prompt to Image in Stable Diffusion

Social biases in generative models have gained increasing attention. This paper proposes an automatic evaluation protocol for text-to-image generation, examining how gender bias originates and perpetuates in the generation process of Stable...

An Integrated Approach for Designing and Analyzing Lumbar Vertebral Biomodels with Artificial Disc Replacement

This study aims to develop an integrated approach for 3D lumbar vertebral biomodel design and analysis, specifically targeting unilevel disc degeneration and the replacement of lumbar artificial discs. Key objectives include improving exist...

Image-Based RCS Estimation from Near-Field Data

This paper deals with the problem of estimating the RCS from near-field data by image-based approaches. In particular, a rigorous focusing procedure based on a weighted adjoint scheme, which is also applicable to an arbitrary measurement cu...

Examining Rural and Urban Sentiment Difference in COVID-19–Related Topics on Twitter: Word Embedding–Based Retrospective Study

BackgroundBy the end of 2022, more than 100 million people were infected with COVID-19 in the United States, and the cumulative death rate in rural areas (383.5/100,000) was much higher than in urban areas (280.1/100,000). As the pandemic s...

A Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome extranet: supporting local communication and information dissemination

Abstract Background The objective of this study was to explore the use and perceptions of a local Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) Extranet and its potential to support future information and communication applications. The SARS Ext...

Identification of brain regions predicting epileptogenesis by serial [18F]GE-180 positron emission tomography imaging of neuroinflammation in a rat model of temporal lobe epilepsy

Excessive activation of inflammatory signaling pathways seems to be a hallmark of epileptogenesis. Positron emission tomography (PET) allows in vivo detection of brain inflammation with spatial information and opportunities for longitudinal...

Oxygen nanobubbles of ICG dimers achieve self-cascade photothermal and photodynamic therapy for hypoxia-reversible tumor treatment

Simultaneous photothermal and photodynamic therapies (PTT and PDT) hold great promise for noninvasive tumor therapy. However, effective regulation of PTT and PDT with optimal synergistic effects remains a challenge. To date, there are only ...
