Purpose: To establish a non-invasive diagnostic model based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to distinguish benign from malignant lesions manifesting as a solid, indeterminate solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) or mass (SPM) on computed tomography (CT).

Method: A total of 459 patients with solid indeterminate SPNs/SPMs on CT were ultimately included in this retrospective study and assigned to the train (n=366), validation (n=46), and test (n=47) sets. Histopathologic analysis was available for each patient.

Background Radiomics-based biomarkers enable the prognostication of resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but their effectiveness in clinical stage and pathologic stage IA pure-solid tumors requires further determination. Purpose To construct an efficient radiomics signature for survival risk stratification personalized for patients with clinical stage and pathologic stage IA pure-solid NSCLC. Materials and Methods In this retrospective study, six radiomics signatures were constructed for patients with stage IA pure-solid NSCLC who underwent resection between January 2011 and December 2013 at authors' institution and were tested in the radiogenomics data set.

Background Preoperative mediastinal staging is crucial for the optimal management of clinical stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Purpose To develop a deep learning signature for N2 metastasis prediction and prognosis stratification in clinical stage I NSCLC. Materials and Methods In this retrospective study conducted from May 2020 to October 2020 in a population with clinical stage I NSCLC, an internal cohort was adopted to establish a deep learning signature.

A rational water price system plays a crucial role in the optimal allocation of water resources. In this paper, a fuzzy pricing model for urban water resources is presented, which consists of a multi-criteria fuzzy evaluation model and a water resources price (WRP) computation model. Various factors affecting WRP are comprehensively evaluated with multiple levels and objectives in the multi-criteria fuzzy evaluation model, while the price vectors of water resources are constructed in the WRP computation model according to the definition of the bearing water price index, and then WRP is calculated.
