Lumbar spine localisation method based on feature fusion by Yonghong Zhang, Ning Hu, Zhuofu Li, Xuquan Ji, Shanshan Liu, Youyang Sha, Xiongkang Song, Jian Zhang, Lei Hu, Weishi Li

“…Abstract To eliminate unnecessary background information, such as soft tissues in original CT images and the adverse impact of the similarity of adjacent spines on lumbar image segmentation and surgical path planning, a two‐stage approach for localising lumbar segments is proposed. First, based on the multi‐scale feature fusion technology, a non‐linear regression method is used to achieve accurate localisation of the overall spatial region of the lumbar spine, effectively eliminating useless background information, such as soft tissues. …”

Using Social Network Analysis to Identify the Critical Factors Influencing Residents’ Green Consumption Behavior by Changlu Zhang, Liqian Tang, Jian Zhang, Zongshui Wang

“…The identification of critical influencing factors for green consumption is the key to promoting green consumption behavior (GCB). Firstly, based on the joint framework of theory of planned behavior (TPB) and the attitude–behavior–context (ABC) theory, we summarized 32 influencing factors from six dimensions: consumer attitude, cognitive factors, sense of responsibility, economic factors, government regulation, and green product supply. …”
