All the species showed the highest seedling length under control condition, and with the increase of salinity, C occidentalis showed the highest sensitivity. The seedling length of C tora at 0.05 M NaCI significantly (P = 0.05) decreased to 5.71 cm, and further increase of salinity to 0.1 M, the seedling length was decreased to less than the value of 0.05 M NaC1 treatment and one-third (2.15 cm) of that of control (6.92 cm). Seeds of all the species failed to germinate at 0.5 M NaC1. Scarified seeds of C. sophera and C occidentalis increased seedling length. The highest seedling length was in C. sophera, followed by C. tora and C. occidentalis. All the species showed significant decrease (P 〈 0.05) of fresh weight with the increase of salinity; scarification of seeds in C. occidentalis and C. sophera showed higher fresh weight than those of without scarification. Experiments at different pH levels did not show any significant (P = 0.05) change in seedling length, except C. sophera, while at acidic pH, both seedling length and dry weight were significantly (P 〈 0.05) decreased.展开更多

Benth. at Pundibari, West Bengal, India. The best time of pod collection was on 19 February as the germination rate of the seeds collected on this date was 92.5% without requiring any pre-sowing treatments. This clearly indicated that the seeds collected on 19 February were non-dormant, viable and physiologically mature. Significantly better seedling growth was also obtained when the seeds were sown on 19 February which was extracted from pods of length 10-20 cm. Application of thio-urea as a pre-treatment did not significantly enhanced seed germination rate, but its application in lower concentration (100 μL·L-1) resulted in better seedling growth and development.展开更多

The general idea underlying adaptive smoothing is to adapt the short-term sub-band mean of the amplitude to the local attributes of speech on the basis of discontinuity measures. The adaptive smoothing algorithm in this paper utilizes a scale-space framework through the minimal description length (MDL). We recommend using the fuzzy muhi-attribute decision making approach to select the proper sub-bands where the word boundary can be more reliably detected. The process and simulation of the fuzzy adaptive smoothing algorithm are given. The parameters utilize the mean amplitude of the audible frequency range (300 -3 700 Hz) and the sub-band mean of the amplitude (16 band filter-bank). We selected the audible band energy because of its usefulness in detecting high-energy regions and making the distinction between speech and noise. Otherwise, the fuzzy adaptive smoothing algorithm is processed in sub-band speech to utilize the full range of frequency information.展开更多

[Method]Three strains of Rhodopseudomonas palustrisSH2,Bacillus megateriumSHⅡ3,Bacillus mucilaginosusSH1 were applied in this study. Cucumber were cultured in plastic pot,inoculating mixture with seven different proportion for 28 days. [Result]2:1:2 treatment had the strongest effect on N,P,K uptake and concentrations in the soils,on increasing enrich of Fe and Zn inroots and shoots and on plant height,stem diameter,dry weight,relative chlorophyll contents. Treatments of 1:1:2 and 1:1:1 were following ,while the weakest effect was given by 1:2:2,2:2:1 and 1:2:1 treatments. [Conclusion]2:1:2 is the optimum proportion of the three bacteria for nutrition uptake and growth of cucumber seedlings.展开更多

The growth,as indicated by final dry weight and specific growth rate(SGR),increased with increasing temperature,with the maximum level at 26℃,and then decreased significantly at 29℃. A similar trend was observed in feeding rate,food conversion efficiency(FCE) and apparent digestive rate(ADR). However,no significant differences were detected in ADR among all the temperature treatments. In the pattern of energy allocation,faeces energy was only a small component of energy budget and had little influence on the proportion of food energy allocated to growth. The metabolic energy accounted for a large portion of energy intake for each temperature treatment. The nitrogen excretion was appreciable with changing temperature. The two expenditure terms(respiration energy and excretion energy) in energy budget were the major factors influencing the proportion of food energy allocated to growth. These results revealed that temperature affected the growth of N. japonica mainly by influencing feeding rate and FCE. In addition,regression equations describing the relationship between feeding rate,faecal production,SGR,FCE and temperature were obtained. The optimum temperatures for feeding rate,FCE and SGR were estimated at 25.01℃,24.24℃ and 24.73 ℃,respectively,from the regression equations.展开更多

In order to improve the effect we can measure with Digital Image Processing Techniques. A piece of sample is scanned into computer and changed into a digital image, which is processed with media filtering. To acquire the power spectrum, the image in the spatial domain is converted into the frequency domain. Picking up the characteristic points describing the stitch density and the stitch length separately in the power spectra and reconstructing them, the values of the stitch density and the stitch length could be calculated. When measuring the stitch length, we should establish a geometric model of the stitch based en the digital image processing, which provides a method to transform the stitch length in the two-dimensien space into the three-dimensien space and to measure the value of the stitch length more accurately. This method also provides a new way to measure the stitch length without damaging the fabric.展开更多

However, the real roughness of the surface is 3D (three-dimensional). Roughness parameters of the 3D surface are also important in analyzing the mechanics of contact surfaces. Problems of mechanics of contact surfaces are related to accuracy of 3D surface roughness characteristic. One of the most important factors for 3D characteristics determination is the number of data points per x and y axes. With number of data points we understand its number in cut-off length. Number of data points have substantial influence on the accuracy of measurement results, measuring time and size of output data file (especially along the y-axis direction, where number of data points are number of parallel profiles). Number of data points must be optimal. Small number of data points lead to incorrect results and increase distribution amplitude, but too large number of data points do not enlarge range of fundamental information, but substantially increase measuring time. Therefore, we must find optimal number of data points per each surface processing method.展开更多

The key to this theoretical advance is that the correlation lengths of the thermal fluctuations become significantly long for nanoscale systems. This differs from macroscopic systems in which the thermal noises are usually treated as white noise. Our observation does not violate the second law of thermodynamics, since at the nanoscale, extra energy is required to keep the asymmetric structure against thermal fluctuations.展开更多
