[Method] Characters of temperature variation in solar greenhouse and minimal temperature forecast models in winter were analyzed based on meteorological data inside and outside of solar greenhouse in winter during 2008-2011, as per correlation and stepwise regression method. [Result] Temperature was of significant changes in solar greenhouse in sunny and cloudy days and the change was higher in sunny days. In overcast days, temperature in solar greenhouse was lower and plants were affected seriously. In addition, the minimal temperature was of good correlation with outside temperature and humidity, temperature and soil temperature in greenhouse. [Conclusion] The minimal temperature forecast model of solar greenhouse is established and the average absolute error of the forecasted minimums in different types of weather was less than 1 ℃ and the average relative error was lower than 10%.展开更多

The GDEM for the area was built up on historical (1930–1997) temperature and salinity profiles. A three-dimensional estimate of the absolute geostrophic velocity field on isopycnal surface was obtained from the GDEM temperature and salinity fields using the P-vector method. The seasonal variabilities of the thermohaline structure and currents (obtained from the inverse method) such as the Mindanao Current, Mindanao Undercurrent, North Equatorial Counter Current, New Guinea Coastal Undercurrent, and dual-eddies (cyclinic Mindanao Eddy and anticyclonic Halmahera Eddy) are identified.展开更多

To detect histological characteristic of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL). Methods. In each of 20 skeletally mature male mongrels and 4 men, the ACL and MCL were examined by standard hematoxylin- eosin procedure and toluidine blue staining for histologic observation. Results. The fibroblasts in medial collateral are elongated to spindle shape and aligned in a row between the bundles of collagenous fibers. Toluidine blue staining is negative. The anterior cruciate ligament demonstrated more heterogenous cell types and arrangement. It had three major cell forms:spindle, round and ovoid type, which were shorter but greater than the cells in medial collateral ligament. Toluidine blue staining was positive in anterior cruciate ligament. Most cells in anterior cruciate ligament were enclosed within lacunae. Conclusion. This study suggests that the ACL has different histological characteristics from MCL, and is more cartilage- like in nature.展开更多

The operation of IARCNC is similar to that of Adaptive Random Convolutional Network Coding (ARCNC), with the coefficients of local encoding kernels chosen uniformly at random over a small finite field. The difference is that the length of the local encoding kernels at the nodes used by IARCNC is constrained by the depth; meanwhile, increases until all the related sink nodes can be decoded. This restriction can make the code length distribution more reasonable. Therefore, IARCNC retains the advantages of ARCNC, such as a small decoding delay and partial adaptation to an unknown topology without an early estimation of the field size. In addition, it has its own advantage, that is, a higher reduction in memory use. The simulation and the example show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.展开更多

The discovery of media content objects’ usage patterns, where QPop Increment is the characteristic feature under study, is the basis of intelligent data migration scheduling, the very key issue for these systems to manage effectively the massive storage facilities in their backbones. In this paper, a clustering algorithm is established, on the basis of temporal segmentation of QPop Increment, so as to improve the mining performance. We employed the standard C-Means algorithm as the clustering kernel, and carried out the experimental mining process with segmented QPop Increases obtained in actual applications. The results indicated that the improved algorithm is more advantageous than the basic one in important indices such as the clustering cohesion. The experimental study in this paper is based on a Media Assets Library prototype developed for the use of the advertainment movie production project for Olympics 2008, under the support of both the Humanistic Olympics Study Center in Beijing, and China State Administration of Radio, Film and TV.展开更多

That is one of the reasons for the proliferation of "literary theories." The notion is here placed between quotation marks because it does not mean the same thing to all the scholars in the field. Some regard it in the same way that theory functions in the sciences, where it focuses on the object it is associated with. For example, the atomic theory of matter is concerned with the internal constitution or the characterizing properties of matter. Others, however, are looking beyond the object towards the reader and the extra-textual environment. The approaches to literary studies which look beyond the individual work to outside phenomena are many and increasing all the time as new issues and concerns arrive on the social scene. Issues of climate change are fairly topical now; and criticism is already responding with such ideas as eco-criticism. The question of the identity of the literary object has to be kept in the front burner, so that it is not swamped by the many different interests which attach to literature from time to time. Bringing attention back to the literary work is the central concern of this paper; and we are doing this by way of the metaphors of perception often used with respect to the literary work as these suggest that the work is something to focus on, rather than to see through to something else. Finally, I elaborate the concept of integrity as an appurtenance of the literary text that attracts and holds the gaze.展开更多

The failure styles of advance pillars are shear failure and compression failure through analyzing the stability of advance pillars. The paper concludes that can protect advance pillars from shear failure by controlling coefficient of volumetric expansion of mining field rock and supports' working resistance and can also protect it from compression failure by advance supporting, increasing setting pressure and working resistance. Two advance pillars are influenced and the main failure form is compression failure through the numerical simulation.展开更多

Combination of the grid re-meshing method and the snapper technique made the valves move smoothly. The flow structure and pattern in a complete engine cycle were described in detail. Tumble ratios around the x-axis and y-axis were analyzed. Comparison of computed pressure with experimental pressure under motored condition revealed that the simulation had high calculation precision; CFD simulation can be regarded as an im-portant tool for resolving the complex aerodynamic behavior in motorcycle engines.展开更多

A numerical simulation (on the intake process of a two-valve engine with a semi-sphere combustion chamber and a radial intake port) is provided for analysis of the velocity field and pressure field of different plane at different crank angles. The results revealed the formation of the tumble motion, the evolution of flow field parameters and the variation of tumble ratios as important information for the design of engine in-take system.展开更多

Site-amplification factors are then quantified with Vs^30 and applied to the ShakeMap system developed by this study to revise ground-motion amplitudes on bedrock estimated from empirical relationships. Finally, the distribution of ground motion parameters on the surface is obtained. This article also introduces the calculation process, calculation models of the ShakeMap systems and related software systems. In conclusion, certain examples indicate that the ShakeMap system is feasible in the Chinese Mainland.展开更多

From the perspective of music theory, in terms of micro notes jump within a certain range, will not cause discomfort, notes there are upward at the same time, the downward makes the whole piece will not boring. From the macroscopic, the nature of the chord with internal connection between motivation and motivation as support, at the same time, the whole range can maintain in a certain range, making sound effects is can let a person feel cheerful. Computer science first occupied is music in the music sound production and the propagation of position as it is mainly used for digital audio clips and automated synthesis. But there is a certain distance away from the traditional concept of composition. Therefore, our research proposes the innovative perspective to deal with the issues for achieving the better performance.展开更多

Methods: From 1999 to 2005, fifteen cases of tibial eminence avulsion were treated with this new technique. Lysholm scoring scale system was used to assess knee function before and after surgery. Regular plain anteroposterior and lateral X-ray flms were undertaken to detect the bony healing of avulsed fragment. Results: The operating time could be controlled within 30 minutes. No complications such as intraarticular infection, iatrogenic injury, fibroarthritis or nonunion of fracture occurred in this group. X-ray film revealed that bony healing in all 15 cases was achieved from 6 weeks to 12 weeks postoperatively. Lysholm score was improved from 19.1 ± 15.2 ( ranging from 10 to 56 ) preoperatively to 97.5 ± 3.7 (ranging from 91 to 100) postoperatively on average in 12-54 months follow up (mean 23 months). The statistically significant difference was shown in Student's t test (t = 18. 483, P =3. 100×10^-11, P 〈 0. 01). Wire breakage was found in two patients whose wires were removed 8 months and 14 months after initial operation, respectively. Conclusion: This technique has many advantages, such as simplicity, wide indications from type Ⅱ to type Ⅳ fractures, minimal invasion, short operating time and predictable satisfactory results.展开更多
