Fire incidents near power transmission lines pose significant safety hazards to the regular operation of the power system. Therefore, achieving fast and accurate smoke detection around power transmission lines is crucial. Due to the complexity and variability of smoke scenarios, existing smoke detection models suffer from low detection accuracy and slow detection speed. This paper proposes an improved model for smoke detection in high-voltage power transmission lines based on the improved YOLOv7-tiny. First, we construct a dataset for smoke detection in high-voltage power transmission lines. Due to the limited number of real samples, we employ a particle system to randomly generate smoke and composite it into randomly selected real scenes, effectively expanding the dataset with high quality. Next, we introduce multiple parameter-free attention modules into the YOLOv7-tiny model and replace regular convolutions in the Neck of the model with Spd-Conv (Space-to-depth Conv) to improve detection accuracy and speed. Finally, we utilize the synthesized smoke dataset as the source domain for model transfer learning. We pre-train the improved model and fine-tune it on a dataset consisting of real scenarios. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed improved YOLOv7-tiny model achieves a 2.61% increase in mean Average Precision (mAP) for smoke detection on power transmission lines compared to the original model. The precision is improved by 2.26%, and the recall is improved by 7.25%. Compared to other object detection models, the smoke detection proposed in this paper achieves high detection accuracy and speed. Our model also improved detection accuracy on the already publicly available wildfire smoke dataset Figlib (Fire Ignition Library). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the most common kidney diseases worldwide. It is estimated that approximately 537 million adults worldwide have diabetes, and up to 30%–40% of diabetic patients are at risk of developing nephropathy. The pathogenesis of DKD is complex, and its onset is insidious. Currently, the clinical diagnosis of DKD primarily relies on the increase of urinary albumin and the decrease in glomerular filtration rate in diabetic patients. However, the excretion of urinary albumin is influenced by various factors, such as physical activity, infections, fever, and high blood glucose, making it challenging to achieve an objective and accurate diagnosis. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an efficient, fast, and low-cost auxiliary diagnostic technology for DKD. In this study, an improved Dual Branch Attention Network (DBAN) was developed to quickly identify DKD. Serum Raman spectroscopy samples were collected from 32 DKD patients and 32 healthy volunteers. The collected data were preprocessed using the adaptive iteratively reweighted penalized least squares (airPLS) algorithm, and the DBAN was used to classify the serum Raman spectroscopy data of DKD. The model consists of a dual branch structure that extracts features using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and bottleneck layer modules. The attention module allows the model to learn features specifically, and lateral connections are added between the dual branches to achieve multi-level and multi-scale fusion of shallow and deep features, as well as local and global features, improving the classification accuracy of the experiment. The results of the study showed that compared to traditional deep learning algorithms such as Artificial Neural Network (ANN), CNN, GoogleNet, ResNet, and AlexNet, our proposed DBAN classification model achieved 95.4% accuracy, 98.0% precision, 96.5% sensitivity, and 97.2% specificity, demonstrating the best classification performance. This is the best method for identifying DKD, and has important reference value for the diagnosis of DKD patients, as well as improving the accuracy of medical auxiliary diagnosis.

[Display omitted] • Differences in the biochemical composition of five types of cervical tissue were analyzed. • A multi-layered attention mechanism feature fusion architecture (MAFA) is proposed. • MAFA can effectively improve the classification accuracy of deep learning models for tissue samples. • MAFA as a model building method can be easily combined with a variety of deep learning models. Cervical cancer ranks among the most prevalent forms of gynecological malignancies. Timely identification of cervical lesions and prompt intervention can effectively prevent the development of cervical cancer or enhance patients' chances of survival. In this study, we propose an innovative method based on Raman spectroscopy, i.e., a multi-level SENet attention mechanism feature fusion architecture (MAFA) for rapid diagnosis of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. The convolution process of this architecture can extract features from shallow to deep layers, and the attention mechanism is added to achieve the fusion of features from different layers. The added attention mechanism can automatically determine the importance of each layer feature channel and assign weight values to that layer according to the importance of each layer to achieve the purpose of focusing the model on certain waveform features and improve the targeting of model learning. We collected Raman spectra of 212 cervical tissues containing cervical cancer and its precancerous lesions.The experimental results show that MAFA can effectively improve the diagnostic accuracy of VGGNet, GoogLeNet and ResNet models in the validation of Raman spectral data of cervical tissue. Among them, ResNet performed the best, with the highest average accuracy, precision, recall and F1-Score of 82.36%, 84.00%, 82.35% and 82.26%, respectively, when no feature fusion was performed. The evaluation metrics improved by 4.91%, 3.97%, 4.97%, and 5.06%, respectively, after using the MAFA; they also improved by 4.16%, 2.90%, 4.17%, and 4.32%, respectively, compared with the model that directly performs feature fusion without using the attention mechanism. Therefore, the MAFA proposed in this study is better than that of the neural network that directly fuses the features of each convolutional layer. The experimental results show that the performance of the MAFA proposed in this paper is significantly higher than that of traditional deep learning algorithms, indicating that the present architecture can effectively improve the diagnostic accuracy of deep learning networks for cervical cancer.
