This algorithm combines the nonsubsampled contourlet transform and the mathematical morphology. First, the source image is decomposed by the nonsubsampled contourlet transform into multi-scale and multi-directional subbands. Then the edges in the high-frequency and low-frequency sub-bands are respectively extracted by the dualthreshold modulus maxima method and the mathematical morphology operator. Finally, the edges from the high- frequency and low-frequency sub-bands are integrated to the edges of the source image, which are refined, and isolated points are excluded to achieve the edges of the source image. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively suppress noise, eliminate pseudo-edges and overcome the adverse effects caused by uneven illumination to a certain extent. Compared with the traditional methods such as LoG, Sobel, and Carmy operators and the modulus maxima algorithm, the proposed method can maintain sufficient positioning accuracy and edge details, and it can also make an improvement in the completeness, smoothness and clearness of the outline.展开更多

This serial work＇s analysis became almost as famous as the concerto itself. Highly economical, short, concentrated and free relationship between the intervals take over from tonality as the main organizational principle ＂pontillistic＂ style. The clear and transparent frame ＂Klangfarbenmelodie＂, is a row, that was distributed among different instruments. So that, several notes can be heard in the same timbre. Like most of Webern works, there are quiet special effects like a whisper, string harmonics, pizzicato, muting, and athematic intevalic cells as the basic structural element. Concerto for Nine Instruments has succeeding series of twelve-tone works. Webern worked for a long time on the Concerto＇s raw, trying to arrive at an equivalent to the Latin word-square palindrome which reads the same left to right from the top, right to left from the bottom, downwards from the top left, or upwards from the bottom right.SATOR AREPO TENET OPERA ROTAS展开更多

Dow were assayed for the first time to detect their estrogenic activity. We used a simple screening method using the yeast two hybrid system based on the binding of a ligand to estrogen receptors. Yeast cells carrying the hER （human estrogen receptor） gene, ERE （estrogen response elements） and lacZ （β-galactosidase gene） are very suitable for screening and sensitive analysis of estrogenic compound. Our results showed that V. siamensis plant extracts bind with relatively affinity to YES- hERa was 2.27-fold the relative potency ofestradiol （E2） in YES-hERa. The effects of phytoestrogen activity on the osteoblast cells were examined on the proliferation of hFOB 1.19 cells and the bone mineralization process. V. siamens＆ was a positive screening result and induced mineralization ofosteoblasts. This study indicated that V. siamensis plant extract exhibited the characteristic effects of a nature bone promoter compound as phytoestrogen.展开更多
