“…There was no association between quartiles of sedentary behavior and overweight (2nd quartile: PR = 0.99; 95%CI: 0.94–1.05; 3rd quartile: PR = 0.99; 95%CI: 0.93–1.07; 4th quartile: PR = 1.07; 95%CI: 1.00–1.13) and abdominal obesity (2nd quartile: PR = 1.04; 95%CI: 1.00–1.08; 3rd quartile: PR = 1.03; 95%CI: 0.98–1.08; 4th quartile: PR = 0.98; 95%CI: 0.94–1.03) when analyses were adjusted for sociodemographic, health perception and behavioral variables. The sedentary behavior was not associated with overweight and abdominal obesity in the elderly. …”

Research on Density Peak Clustering Color-Separation Algorithm Based on SOM Neural Network by Xin Ru, Yanhao Wang, Ran Chen, Zhifa Zeng, Laihu Peng, Wei Tang, Weimin Shi, Hui Wang

“…To solve these problems, In this paper, we propose a density peak clustering color-separation algorithm based on self-organizing mapping (SOM) neural network, which firstly uses enhanced super-resolution generative adversarial network (Real-ESRGAN) blind super-resolution reconstruction network to clarify the degraded image and obtain a high-resolution image with clear boundaries; secondly, we carry out the initial clustering through the SOM neural network to simplify the image information; and then we use an improved density peak clustering (DPC) algorithm to calculate clustering centers under the conditions of conforming to the perception of human eyes, and carry out secondary clustering on the image; finally, carry out image post-processing through the variegated spots merging algorithm based on the connected component analysis. …”
