In contrast, its metabolism and distribution once being implanted were less documented. In this study, the pharmacokinetics and biodegradation of fluorescein isothiocyanate(FITC) labeled and muscle implantation administrated chitosan in rats were investigated with fluorescence spectrophotometry, histological assay and gel chromatography. After implantation, chitosan was degraded gradually during its distribution to diverse organs. Among the tested organs, liver and kidney were found to be the first two highest in chitosan content, which was followed by heart, brain and spleen. Urinary excretion was believed to be the major pathway of chitosan elimination, yet 80% of chitosan administered to rats was not trackable in their urine. This indicated that the majority of chitosan was degraded in tissues. In average, the molecular weight of the degradation products of chitosan in diverse organs and urine was found to be <65 k Da. This further confirmed the in vivo degradation of chitosan. Our findings provided new evidences for the intensive and safe application of chitosan as a biomedical material.展开更多

This paper proposes a new underwater image enhancement method based on image struc- tural decomposition. By introducing a curvature factor into the Mumford_Shah_G decomposition algorithm, image details and struc- ture components are better preserved without the gradient effect. Thus, histogram equalization and Retinex algorithms are applied in the decomposed structure component for global image enhancement and non-uniform brightness correction for gray level and the color images, then the optical absorption spectrum in water medium is incorporate to improve the color correction. Finally, the en- hauced structure and preserved detail component are re.composed to generate the output. Experiments with real underwater images verify the image improvement by the proposed method in image contrast, brightness and color fidelity.展开更多

We suggest a new version of similar approach for the BEM (Boundary Element Method) based on the alternating method by Schwartz. This approach substantially reduce the dimension of dense global matrix of algebraic system produced by BEM algorithm to solve a complex problem on as single CPU (Central Processor Unit) desktop computer. New algorithm is iterative one, but exponential convergence for the Schwatlz's algorithm creates the fast numerical procedures. We describe the results of numerical simulation for a multi electrode ion transport system. The algorithms were implemented in the computer code "POISSON-3".展开更多

In theory, it can absorb a larger part of the visible spectrum, widening the use of solar spectroscopy and obtaining a higher photo-to-chemical conversion efficiency. In this study, CuW(1-x)MoxO4 thin-film photoanodes on conducting glass were prepared using a simple and low-cost spray pyrolysis method. The resulting CuW(1-x)MoxO4 photoanodes perform higher photocurrent than CuWO4 photoanodes under AM 1.5 G simulated sunlight illumination(100 m W cm^(-2))in 0.1 mol L^(-1) phosphate buffer at pH 7. Combined with IPCE and Mott-Schottky analysis, the enhancement of the photocurrent is due to the improvement of photon utilization and the increase of carrier concentration with the incorporation of Mo atoms. Moreover, with the optimal Mo/W atomic ratio,the photocurrent density increases obviously from 0.07 to 0.46 m A cm^(-2) at 1.23 V(RHE) bias. In addition, compared with particle-assembled thin-film photoanodes prepared by solidphase reaction and drop-necking treatment, the photoanodes prepared by spray pyrolysis have obvious advantages in terms of reducing resistance and facilitating charge transport.展开更多
