In order to overcome this shortcoming, a new face tracking algorithm based on particle filter with mean shift importance sampling is proposed. First, the coarse location of the face target is attained by the efficient mean shift tracker, and then the result is used to construct the proposal distribution for particle propagation. Because the particles obtained with this method can cluster around the true state region, particle efficiency is improved greatly. The experimental results show that the performance of the proposed algorithm is better than that of the standard condensation tracking algorithm.展开更多

Intensified micromixing and uniform nucleation environment are created by the high-gravity equipment (rotating packed bed) in carrying out the anti-solvent precipitation process to produce nanoparticles. The average particle size decreases from 55 μm of the raw danazol to 190 nm of the nanoparticles. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area sharply increases from 0.66 m^2·g^-1 to 15.08 m^2·g^-l. Accordingly, the dissolution rate is greatly improved. The molecular state, chemical composition, and crystal form of the danazol nanoparticles remains unchanged after processing according to Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), The high recovery ratio and continuous production capacity are highly appreciated in industry. Therefore, the HGAP method might offer a general and facile platform for mass production of hydrophobic pharmaceutical danazol particles in nanometer range.展开更多

Here reports an extra-large seed germplasm GM01 which was obtained through isolated microspore culture. Three-way cross was made: H8--a Yunnan spring early-maturing rapeseed variety, "Legeney"--a Canadian canola variety and "020010"--a semi-winter late-maturing rapeseed variety. One hundred and forty eight doubled hyploid lines were obtained from the F~ plants of three-way cross through isolated mierospore culture. Among them, the TSW of GM01 amounted to 8.68 g and the TSW of 53 lines were above 5.0 g. The TSWs of GM01 were relatively stable among the multi-location field trials from 2007 to 2014 with variation being only 10%-15% among the locations and years. Compared with H8, GM01 had larger flowers, stigmas, siliques and seed diameters, but less branches, siliques per plant and seeds per silique.展开更多

For example scattering of alpha particle in Rutherford's well known experiment revealed the existence of nucleus. Physicists have been studying collision process both experimentally as well as theoretically to know much about particle Physics. It is believed that the quark-quark scattering results are same as those of lepton-lepton systems and they are mass independent. The aim of this work was to calculate amplitude cross section for heavy quarks. Our results reveal a mass dependence of these results for heavy quarks.展开更多

Varying proportions of the cytosolic and vesicular fractions from the eggs were used in the reconstitution mixtures. A cytosol:vesicle ratio of 10:1 promoted reassembly of the normal bilayer nuclear membrane with inserted nuclear pore complexes around the decondensed Xenopus sperm chromatin. A cytosol: vesicle ratio of 5:1 caused decondensed and dispersed sperm chromatin to be either surrounded by or divided by unusual multilayer membrane structures with inlaid pore complexes. A cytosol:vesicle ratio of 2.5:1 promoted reconstitution of mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum networks, and Golgi apparatus. During reassembly of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, vesicular fragments of the corresponding organelles fused together and changed their shape to form flattened cistemae, which were then stacked one on top of another.展开更多

In the case of interaction via mass less bosons we obtain an equivalent expression for the Coulomb's energy on the form cthc/r, where a is the fine structure constant. In the case of the interaction via massive particles we obtain that the interaction energy contains a term building the potential well. Also, we take into account the spin-spin interaction of the nucleons and we show that this interaction modulates the interaction potential through a cosine factor. The obtained results are in a good agreement with experimental data, for example, of deuteron. We have determined the radial functions for the deuteron.展开更多

Then, the obtained silica nanoparticles were surface functionalized by silane coupling agents, such as(3-Mercaptopropyl) triethoxysilane(MPTES) and(3-Amincpropyl) trithoxysilane(APTES). Some further modifications were studied by chloroaceetyl choride and 1,8-Diaminoaphalene for amino modified silica. The surface functionalized silica nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared(FI-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The prepared adsorbent of surface functionalized silica nanoparticles with differential function groups were investigated in the selective adsorption about Pb2+, Cu2+, Hg2+, Cd2+ and Zn2+ions in aqueous solutions. The results show that the(3-Mercaptopropyl) triethoxysilane functionalized silica nanoparticles(SiO2-MPTES) play an important role in the selective adsorption of Cu2+ and Hg2+, the(3-Amincpropyl) trithoxysilane(APTES) functionalized silica nanoparticles(SiO2-APTES) exhibited maximum removal efficiency towards Pb2+ and Hg2+, the 1,8-Diaminoaphalene functionalized silica nanoparticles was excellent for removal of Hg2+ at room temperature, respectively.展开更多

Lycopodium is a cellulosic particle, with good combustion properties, of which microscopic images show that these particles have spherical shapes with identical diameters of 31 μm. The measured density of these particles is 1.0779 g/cm2. Lycopodium particles contain 64.06% carbon, 25.56% oxygen, 8.55% hydrogen and 1.83% nitrogen, and no sulfur. Thermogravimetric analysis in the nitrogen environment indicates that the maximum of particle mass reduction occurs in the temperature range of 250-550 ℃ where the maximum mass reduction in the DTG diagrams also occurs in. In the oxygen environment, an additional peak can also be observed in the temperature range of 500-600 ℃, which points to solid phase combustion and ignition temperature of lycopodium particles. The kinetics of reactions is determined by curve fitting and minimization of error.展开更多

The orbital system is shown to be the principle by which motion transforms space into matter. The support of the universe is the absolute three-stage hierarchy of particles, atoms, and gravitational systems. Below 1/c waves are dissociated into strands and neutrinos are separated as points of charge. The electron and positron are single strands with opposed helical turns. Protons and neutrons have a nucleus of positrinos and negatrinos surrounded by concentric shells of strands in 2"~ resonance. The orbital strands reverberate into space creating a field with gravitational and electromagnetic aspects. The orbital system defines matter, energy, motion, and time based on composition. The three stages have a constant field content but differ by field density and components.展开更多

To gain an insight of the resampling process and the filter, this paper contributes in three further respects as a sequel to the tutorial (Li et al., 2015). First, identical distribution (ID) is established as a general principle for the resampling design, which requires the distribution of particles before and after resampling to be statistically identical. Three consistent met- rics including the (symmetrical) Kullback-Leibler divergence, Kolmogorov-Smimov statistic, and the sampling variance are introduced for assessment of the ID attribute of resampling, and a corresponding, qualitative ID analysis of representative resampling methods is given. Second, a novel resampling scheme that obtains the optimal ID attribute in the sense of minimum sampling variance is proposed. Third, more than a dozen typical resampling methods are compared via simulations in terms of sample size variation, sampling variance, computing speed, and estimation accuracy. These form a more comprehensive under- standing of the algorithm, providing solid guidelines for either selection of existing resampling methods or new implementations展开更多
