Presently, most of the data reconstruction methods are carried out separately from noise suppression. Moreover, most data reconstruction methods are not ideal for noisy data. In this paper, we choose the multiscale and multidirectional 2D curvelet transform to perform simultaneous data reconstruction and noise suppression of 3D seismic data. We introduce the POCS algorithm, the exponentially decreasing square root threshold, and soft threshold operator to interpolate the data at each time slice. A weighing strategy was introduced to reduce the reconstructed data noise. A 3D simultaneous data reconstruction and noise suppression method based on the curvelet transform was proposed. When compared with data reconstruction followed by denoizing and the Fourier transform, the proposed method is more robust and effective. The proposed method has important implications for data acquisition in complex areas and reconstructing missing traces.展开更多

Through analyzing the widely accepted adaptive Wiener filter in image denoising fields, which suffered from annoying noise around the edges of DWIs and in turn greatly affected the denoising effect of DWIs, a local-shift method capable of overcoming the defect of the adaptive Wiener filter was proposed to help better denoising DWIs and the modified Wiener filter was constructed accordingly. To verify the denoising effect of the proposed method, the modified Wiener filter and adaptive Wiener filter were performed on the noisy DWI data, respectively, and the results of different methods were analyzed in detail and put into comparison. The experimental data show that, with the modified Wiener method, more satisfactory results such as lower non-positive tensor percentage and lower mean square errors of the fractional anisotropy map and trace map are obtained than those with the adaptive Wiener method, which in turn helps to produce more accurate DTIs.展开更多

Wastewater containing ammonia is usually removed by conventional methods such as aeration in towers, biological treatment and adsorption of the ammonium ion to the zeolite surface. However, these methods are less effective and relatively expensive. Therefore there is a need for alternative technologies that can improve the efficiency of ammonia removal from wastewater. This study aims to obtain the process of ammonia removal through a combination of absorption in the membrane contactor and the advance oxidation process in the hybrid plasma-ozone reactor. Wastewater containing ammonia used in the study was a synthetic wastewater with a concentration of about 800 ppm. In the experiment, the wastewater fi'om the reservoir was firstly passed into the membrane contactor on the shell side, and then mixed with ozone from the ozonator befbre entering the plasma reactor, and finally was circulated back to the reservoir. Meanwhile, the absorbent solution was sent to the lumen fiber in membrane contactor. Experimental results showed that the ammonia removal efficiency increases with increasing in circulation rate and temperature of the wastewater. The highest efficiency of ammonia removal obtained from the experimental results was 77%.展开更多

RA blocks adipogenesis, but mechanisms remain to be established. ZFP423 is a key transcription factor maintaining white adipose identity. We found that RA inhibits Zfp423 expression and adipogenesis via blocking DNA demethylation in the promoter of Zfp423, a process mediated by growth arrest and DNA-damage-inducible protein alpha (GADD45A). RA induces the partnering between retinoic acid receptor (PAR) and tumor suppressor inhibitor of growth protein 1 (ING1), which prevents the formation of GADD45A and ING1 complex necessary for locus-specific Zfp423 DNA demethylation. In vivo, vitamin A supplementation prevents obesity, downregulates Godd45a expression, and reduces GADD45A binding and DNA demethylation in the Zfp423 promoter. Inhibition of Zfp423 expres- sion due to PA contributes to the enhanced brown adipogenesis. In summary, PA inhibits white adipogenesis by inducing PAR and ING1 interaction and inhibiting Godd45a expression, which prevents GADD45A-mediated DNA demethylation.展开更多

In this paper, we focus on the magnetic resonance(MR) images denoising for brain modeling reconstruction, and exploit a practical solution. We attempt to remove the noise existing in the MR imaging signal and preserve the image characteristics. A wavelet-based adaptive curve shrinkage function is presented in spherical coordinates system. The comparative experiments show that the denoising method can preserve better image details and enhance the coefficients of contours. Using these denoised images, the brain 3D visualization is given through surface triangle mesh model, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多
