Measurement outliers are easily caused by illumination, surface texture, human factors and so on during the process of microscopic topography measurement. These numerous cloud point noise will heavily affect instrument measurement accuracy and surface reconstruction quality. We propose a quick and accurate method for removing outliers based on social circle algorithm. First, the gaussian kernel function is used to calculate the voting value to determine the social circle's initial point, and then select the appropriate social circle radius and search window based on the initial point, and finally expand the social circle through an iterative method. Points which are not in the social circle can be considered as outliers and filtered out. The experimental results show the good performance of the algorithm with comparison to the existing filtering methods. The developed method has great potential in microscopic topography reconstruction, fitting and other point cloud processing tasks.

The Representation of Orientation Semantics in Visual Sensory Memory.

Behav Sci (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Psychology, College of Education, Zhejiang University of Technology, Hangzhou 310028, China.

Visual sensory memory constructs representations of the physical information of visual objects. However, few studies have investigated whether abstract information, such as semantic information, is also involved in these representations. This study utilized a masking technique combined with the partial report paradigm to examine whether visual sensory memory representation contains semantic information.

The association between total social exposure and incident multimorbidity: A population-based cohort study.

SSM Popul Health

March 2025

Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto, Health Sciences Building, 155 College Street, 6th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5T 3M7, Canada.

Background: Multimorbidity, the co-occurrence of two or more chronic conditions, is associated with the social determinants of health. Using comprehensive linked population-representative data, we sought to understand the combined effect of multiple social determinants on multimorbidity incidence in Ontario, Canada.

Methods: Ontario respondents aged 20-55 in 2001-2011 cycles of the Canadian Community Health Survey were linked to administrative health data ascertain multimorbidity status until 2022.

Introduction: During pregnancy, women rely on a variety of sources to obtain information. However, not all of these sources are equally reliable, and there is the concern that especially online information-seeking may increase pregnancy-related anxiety. This study examines to what extent different sources of pregnancy information are associated with concurrent pregnancy-related anxiety (RQ1) and changes in pregnancy-related anxiety throughout the pregnancy (RQ2).
