This paper first estimated the infectious capacity of COVID-19 based on the time series evolution data of confirmed cases in multiple countries. Then, a method to infer the cross-regional spread speed of COVID-19 was introduced in this paper, which took the gross domestic product(GDP) of each region as one of the factors that affect the spread speed of COVID-19 and studied the relationship between the GDP and the infection density of each region(China's Mainland, the United States, and EU countries). In addition, the geographic distance between regions was also considered in this method and the effect of geographic distance on the spread speed of COVID-19 was studied. Studies have shown that the probability of mutual infection of these two regions decreases with increasing geographic distance. Therefore, this paper proposed an epidemic disease spread index based on GDP and geographic distance to quantify the spread speed of COVID-19 in a region. The analysis results showed a strong correlation between the epidemic disease spread index in a region and the number of confirmed cases. This finding provides reasonable suggestions for the control of epidemics. Strengthening the control measures in regions with higher epidemic disease spread index can effectively control the spread of epidemics.

As a pivotal enabler of intelligent transportation system(ITS), Internet of vehicles(Io V) has aroused extensive attention from academia and industry. The exponential growth of computation-intensive, latency-sensitive,and privacy-aware vehicular applications in Io V result in the transformation from cloud computing to edge computing,which enables tasks to be offloaded to edge nodes(ENs) closer to vehicles for efficient execution. In ITS environment,however, due to dynamic and stochastic computation offloading requests, it is challenging to efficiently orchestrate offloading decisions for application requirements. How to accomplish complex computation offloading of vehicles while ensuring data privacy remains challenging. In this paper, we propose an intelligent computation offloading with privacy protection scheme, named COPP. In particular, an Advanced Encryption Standard-based encryption method is utilized to implement privacy protection. Furthermore, an online offloading scheme is proposed to find optimal offloading policies. Finally, experimental results demonstrate that COPP significantly outperforms benchmark schemes in the performance of both delay and energy consumption.

Damage to the retinal blood vessels is critical in diabetic retinopathy, a progressively emerging health concern that often advances quietly without explicit symptoms. Optical coherence tomography-OCT has emerged as a favored noninvasive imaging technique for diagnosing diabetic retinopathy promptly and accurately. However, timely and precise diagnoses from OCT images are essential in prevention of blindness. Moreover, accurate interpretation of OCT images is challenging. Single model learning debilitates in managing diverse data types and structures, constraining its adaptability to varied environments. Its limitations become apparent in tasks requiring expertise from multiple domains, delaying overall performance. Moreover, learning may exhibit susceptibility to overfitting with large and heterogeneous datasets, resulting in compromised generalization capabilities. In this study, we propose a hybrid learning model for the classification of four distinct classes of retinal diseases in OCT images with improved generalization capabilities. Our hybrid model is constructed upon the well-established architectural foundations of ResNet50 and EfficientNetB0. By pre-training the hybrid model on extensive datasets like ImageNet and then fine-tuning it on publicly available OCT image datasets, we capitalize on the strengths of both architectures. This empowers the hybrid model to excel in discerning intricate image patterns while efficiently extracting hierarchical prediction from various regions within the images. To enhance classification accuracy and mitigate overfitting, we eliminate the fully connected layer from the base model and introduce a concatenate layer to combine two objective learning prediction. A dataset comprising 84,452 OCT images, each expertly graded for illnesses. we conducted training and evaluation of our proposed model, which demonstrated superior performance compared to existing methods, achieving an impressive overall classification accuracy of 97.
