The existing approaches to correct motion artifacts involve using gating devices and/or four-dimensional （4-D） computed tomography （CT）. However, they have the disadvantages of high CT dose and high computational burden. Hence, a sinusoid vibration model is presented to simulate the respiratory motion. The motion extent and the direction are derived from the Radon transform of the cepstrum of the blurred image. Then, two typical deeonvolution algorithms, i.e. , Wiener filter （WF） and the Richardson-Lucy （RL） algorithms are used to eliminate the motion blur according to the estimated parameters and their de-blurring results are compared. Experiments on both synthetic and phantom images show good performance of the presented model for identifying vibration modeled respiration motion and reducing the motion blur. The method has advantages of safety, convenience, and economy. And it is promising to correct the motion artifacts of the non-gated PET image.展开更多

A mechanical model of back rest system of looms is presented on basis of auto control theory, and the factors affecting the dynamic performance of the back rest are analyzed. In the model, warp yarn is regarded as a viscoelastic medium, and the adjustable parameters and the adjusting range of the back rest system are increased, so the loom's applicability for the fabric's variety is enhanced. Finally, the methods of designing and adjusting the back rest are discussed, and a trend of back rest system development is given.展开更多

Education is seen as a tool to develop better citizens first, and better workers later. The objective of this research was to detect different perceptions related to values and education. Using a 13 items questionnaire, we measured： Students＇ perceptions about him/herself as part of their education role, responsibility that students show toward activities m school, perceptions about education as a tool to grow in the social ladder and as a way of social recognition, social perception about effort as an important value to self-improve and get social recognition, and to finish, perceptions about their teacher＇s performance.展开更多

Prey vary in size, mobility, degree of protective coveting, and use of the forest, i.e. canopy height, and whether they are exposed or embed themselves in substrates. Sex-differentiation in foraging patterns is well documented for some monkey species and recent studies find that color vision phenotype can also affect invertebrate foraging. Since vision phenotype is polymorphic and sex-linked in most New World monkeys - males have dichromatic vision and females have either dichromatic or trichromatic vision - this raises the possibility that sex differences are linked to visual ecology. We tested predicted sex differences for invertebrate foraging in white-faced capuchins Cebus capucinus and conducted 12 months of study on four free-ranging groups between January 2007 and September 2008. We found both sex and color vision effects. Sex： Males spent more time foraging for invertebrates on the ground. Females spent more time consuming embedded, colonial invertebrates, ate relatively more ＂soft＂ sedentary invertebrates, and devoted more of their activity budget to invertebrate foraging. Color Vision： Dichromatic monkeys had a higher capture efficiency of ex- posed invertebrates and spent less time visually foraging. Trichromats ate relatively more ＂hard＂ sedentary invertebrates. We con- elude that some variation in invertebrate foraging reflects differences between the sexes that may be due to disparities in size, strength, reproductive demands or niche preferences. However, other intraspecific variation in invertebrate foraging that might be mistakenly attributed to sex differences actually reflects differences in color vision [Current Zoology 56 （3）： 300-312, 2010].展开更多
