SPP contains natural discriminating information by preserving sparse reconstruction relationship of data sets. However, SPP suffers from the fact that every new feature learned from data sets is linear combinations of all the original features, which often makes it difficult to interpret the results. To address this issue, a novel DR method called dual-sparsity preserving projection （DSPP） is proposed to further impose sparsity constraints on the projection directions of SPP. Specifically, the proposed method casts the projection function learning of SPP into a regression-type optimization problem, and then the sparse projections can be efficiently computed by the related lasso algorithm. Experimental results from face databases demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.展开更多

The useful application of the novel DAI indices has been demonstrated by developing accurate predictive equations for gas chromatographic retention indices. The statistical results of the multiple linear regression for the final model are τ=0.9973 and s=8.23. Furthermore, an external test set of 10 oxo-containing compounds can be accurately predicted with the final equation giving the following statistical results： τpred：0.9966 and spred=8.56.展开更多

ProSync partly shrinks the preamble at the transmitter and exploits two multi-band filters at the receiver. By doing so, the potential interference suffered by NC-OFDM users, including both the cross-band interference and self interference, can be greatly reduced. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of ProSync, which is able to lower the carrier frequency offset （CFO） estimation error by up to 50%, compared with the traditional method.展开更多

Usually they might be present in organic foods as products of reaction between secondary amines and nitrosation system. The aim of the study was to test the concentration of nitrosamines in Bulgarian products. High performance liquid chromatography with UV detector was used for identification and quantitation. A standard solution of N-nitrosodiethanolamine was used as a reference substance and in the validation procedure of samples. The limit of detection of the method was determined to 14× 10^-9 g/mL. The results of the testing showed that analyzed organic foods produced in Bulgaria did not contain nitrosamines above the limit of detection of the method.展开更多

Chemical analyses of the samples were carried out using ICP-MS （Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometer）. Water pH was determined using a pH-meter and pH values ranged from 4.2 to 7.8. The highest mean trace metal levels of water were 5,515.816 ）μg·L^-1, 166.925μg·L^-1, 3.898μg·L^-1 and 1.879μg·L^-1 for Al, Ba, Cr and U, respectively in Kashobwe river, 2,419.522 μg·L^-1 and 17.994 μg·L^-1 for Fe and Cd, respectively in Kafubu river at its confluence with Lubumbashi rivers, 1,408.136μg·L^-1 for Mn in Kafubu river 1.36 kilometer downward its confluence with Naviundu river, 222.406 μg·L^-1 and 0.092 μg·L^-1 for Sr and Cs, respectively in Kamalondo river 60 meters from the GCM-Lubumbashi （General of Quarries and Mines-Lubumbashi） smelter, 140.294μg·L^-1, 12.063 μg·L^-1 and 0.008μg·L^-1 for Pb, V and Bi, respectively in Munua river, 3.544 μg·L^-1 for Ag in Kabulameshi river, 1.49 μg·L^-1 for Mo in Kafubu river and 0.081μg·L^-1 for Sn in Tshondo river. The mean concentrations of Al, Cd, Fe, Mn and Pb in water of many rivers and the channel exceeded the maximum admissible limits of the WHO （World Health Organization）, USEPA （United States Environmental Protection Agency） and EU （European Union） drinking-water standards. Trace metal contamination of water of the studied rivers, channel and springs might be partially attributed to natural processes, unplanned urbanization, poor waste management and mostly to abandoned and ongoing mining and ore processing activities in Lubumbashi city.展开更多
Two potential novel environmentally friendly ashless vegetable oil additives, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole derivatives, di-n-dodecyl-[2-（2-benzothiazolyl）thio]ethylborane （LBN） and di-n-dodecylthio-[2-（2-benzothiazoly...Two potential novel environmentally friendly ashless vegetable oil additives, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole derivatives, di-n-dodecyl-[2-（2-benzothiazolyl）thio]ethylborane （LBN） and di-n-dodecylthio-[2-（2-benzothiazolyl） thio]ethylborane （LBNS）, were synthesized and their tribological performance as additives in rapeseed oil （RSO） was evaluated using a four-ball wear tester. Their anti-corrosive properties and thermal stability were also examined. The worn surface of the steel ball was analyzed by means of scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）. The results showed that 2-mercaptobenzothiazole derivatives exhibited excellent anti-corrosive property and high thermal stability. Moreover, they both had good load-carrying capacities and anti-wear and friction-reducing properties. The PR values of samples decreased in the following order： LBNS〉 LBN〉RSO. The results of XPS examination illustrated that the excellent tribological behavior of the prepared compounds used as additives in RSO was attributed to the formation of a protective lubrication film on the worn surface, which consisted of an adsorption layer and a reaction layer containing Fe3O4, FeS, Fe2（SO4）3, FeB, and organic nitrogen-containing compounds.展开更多

In the past decade, the government has put a lot of effort into rehabilitating degraded forest both inside and surrounding the SERS landscape in order to link fragmented forest patches. However, there is a lack of appropriate methods that allow the measurement of the effectiveness of reforestation. The objective of this paper is to quantify land use and landscape structure changes between 1990 and 2002. The study area encompasses the SERS and its buffer zone. Land use/land cover maps were visually interpreted into 9 classes using temporal Landsat-TM images. These classes were dry evergreen forest, mixed deciduous forest, dry dipterocarp forest, secondary growth, plantation, grassland, old clearing, agriculture ＆ settlement, and water body. In addition, a Geographic Information System （GIS） and FRAGSTATS package were used to assess fragmentation indices. The results revealed that the annual increment rate of dry evergreen forest and dry dipterocarp forest were 0.51% and 0.97%, respectively. In addition, the total area of forest plantation expanded to roughly three times or increased 193.23% during this period. Agricultural and settlement area decreased 7.56% per year. Most of this area was replaced by plantation and natural regeneration. The fragmentation indices indicated that the remaining dry evergreen forest was highly aggregated or had low fragmentation. The number of patches decreased from 7 to 5, and mean patch size increased significantly. However, mixed deciduous forest and dry dipterocarp forest were relatively fragmented. Mixed deciduous forest showed higher fragmentation. Mean patch size area was substantially decreased from 293 ha in 1990 to 123 ha in 2002 and the mean nearest neighbor distance increased by approximately 400 m during this period.展开更多
