First, according to the prior information, the contour of the wheel hub is extracted and fitted as an ellipse curve, and the ellipse fitting equation can be obtained. Then, a new un-tangent constraint is adopted to improve the ellipse matching precision. Finally, the 3D coordinates of the wheel center can be reconstructed by the spatial circle projection algorithm with low time complexity and high measurement accuracy. Simulation experiments verify that compared with the ellipse center reconstruction algorithm and the planar constraint optimization algorithm, the proposed method can acquire the 3D coordinates of the spatial circle more exactly. Furthermore, the measurements of the wheelbase, the wheelbase difference and the wheel static radius for three types of vehicles demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for wheel center detection.展开更多

METHODS: Mononuclear cells from human cord blood were plated in methylcellulose medium containing different cytokines to induce hematopoietic colony formation. Dendritic cells (DCs) were induced from the mononuclear cells with a cytokine cocktail with or without recombinant human soluble FL (rhFL; 100 ng/ml). The Flt3 receptors on the surface of a human microvascular endothelial cell line (ECV) were analyzed by flow cytometry. The proliferation of ECV stimulated by rhFL was measured with the microculture tetrazolium assay. The levels of FL, IL-6, IL-8, G-CSF and GM-CSF in the supernatant of ECV cultures were measured by enzyme linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS: rhFL stimulates colony formation from cord blood when used as a sole stimulant. FL in combination with other cytokines increased colony formation significantly. The number of DCs was approximately 2.5 times higher when rhFL was used. rhFL stimulates the proliferation of ECV on which Flt3 receptors are expressed. Furthermore, ECV secretes FL, IL-6, IL-8, G-CSF and GM-CSF, which were augmented by tumor necrosis factor-alpha and rhFL. CONCLUSIONS: rhFL enhances hematopoietic colony formation and DC proliferation from human cord blood cells. FL not only stimulates the proliferation of ECV, but is also secreted by ECV. FL may exert direct and indirect effects on hematopoiesis.展开更多

In the last few years, significant progress has been made in the synthesis and characterization of the imido, oxo, sulfido, and carbene-containing complexes of thorium. Such thorium complexes are of interest because of their unique structural properties, their potential application in novel group transfer reactions and catalysis, as well as their ability to engage the 5f orbitals in metal-ligand bonding. This short review summarizes the synthesis and reactivity of these thorium complexes.展开更多
