Spatial transcriptomics (ST) technologies have emerged as an effective tool to identify the spatial architecture of tissues, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of organ function and the tissue microenvironment. Spatial domain identification is the first and most critical step in ST data analysis, which requires thoughtful utilization of tissue microenvironment and morphological priors. Here, we propose a graph contrastive learning framework, GRAS4T, which combines contrastive learning and a subspace analysis model to accurately distinguish different spatial domains by capturing the tissue microenvironment through self-expressiveness of spots within the same domain.

In this paper, we propose a dynamic authorizable ciphertext image retrieval scheme based on secure neural network inference that effectively enhances the security of image retrieval while preserving privacy. To ensure the privacy of the original image and enable feature extraction without decryption operations, we employ a secure neural network for feature extraction during the index construction stage of encrypted images. Additionally, we introduce a dynamic authenticatable ciphertext retrieval algorithm to enhance system flexibility and security by enabling users to quickly and flexibly retrieve authorized images.

The new development pattern of the dual cycle is an important strategic deployment by the Chinese government in response to the complex and changing economic environment and a new stage of economic development. Based on the perspective of this new dual-cycle development pattern, this paper explores the time-varying nonlinear relationship between this new development pattern and systemic financial risk by constructing two models: the TVP-SVAR-SV and the MS-VAR. The empirical results show that, first, there was a significant negative impulse response effect between the new dual-cycle development pattern and systemic financial risk.

In recent years, despite the fact that the Chinese government is closely monitoring food safety, the perception of food production enterprises is not obvious. The reason is that information asymmetry hinders the effective transmission of regulatory information to food production enterprises. In the present research, a choice test is conducted to explore the preference of decision-makers for the information on government regulations in 224 food production enterprises with violations.
