Methods: Twenty-nine consecutive patients enrolled in this study, all of whom underwent DCE-MRI examinations and received a histologic and clinical diagnosis. Among these, lung tuberculoma 7 cases, harmatoma 3 cases, peripheral lung cancer 19 cases. DCE-MRI was acquired with 3D LAVA technique, total 18 phases were acquired, scanner time of per phase was 5-7″. After contrasting agent, twice successive scanning was acquired at 10″ and 50″. Then 1′30″, 2′, 2′30″, 3′, 3′30″, 4′, 5′, 6′, 7′, 8′, 9′, 10′, 11′, 12′ performed scanning. Region of interest was placed on the Maximum level in the tumors. According to Schaefer's standard, four types of time signal intensity curve (TIC) were classified, which were A, B, C and D. Compared the dynamic parameters between benign and malignant nodules. Results: Lung tuberculoma may display three curves: A type 1 case, ring-shaped enhancement 4 cases (periphery ring A type, central region D type), D type 2 cases. Harmatoma may display three curves: A type 1 case, C type 2 case. Peripheral lung cancer may display A type. Except 2 cases D type lung tuberculoma, we compared curve data of 8 cases benign nodules (including tuberculoma Atype and periphery ring Atype, harmatoma Atype and C type) and lung cancer. SlEP%: benign nodules 0.7885 ±0.5543, lung cancer 1.2623 ±0.3059, P 〈 0.05; MER: benign nodules 1.0007 ± 0.4251, lung cancer 1.3694 ±0.2740, P 〈 0.05; washout: P 〉 0.05. Conclusion: Lung MR imaging is helpful to diagnosis and differential diagnosis of isolated benign and malignant nodules. SIEP% and MER could offer valuable information. The evolution of global tuberculosis may be from A type to ring-shaped ennoblement to D type. It was easy to do right diagnosis to lung tuberculoma with ring-shaped ennoblement and D type. Peripheral lung cancer commonly displayed A type and needed identification with acute inflammation. So, it is important to anti-inflammatory follow-up for a few A type nodules.展开更多

Based on the two techniques above, a novel high-dimensional index is proposed, called Bit-code and Distance based index (BD). BD is based on a special partitioning strategy which is optimized for high-dimensional data. By the definitions of bit code and transformation function, a high-dimensional vector can be first approximately represented and then transformed into a 1D vector, the key managed by a B+-tree. A new KNN search algorithm is also proposed that exploits the bit code and distance to prune the search space more effectively. Results of extensive experiments using both synthetic and real data demonstrated that BD out- performs the existing index structures for KNN search in high-dimensional spaces.展开更多

The mechanism and dynamics for the recoils and the recoveries of viscoelastic strains in the extrudate were investigated under the free recovery and dynamic states. It was found that in the course of recovery the free recoil and the growth of die swell in the extrudate may be divided into two recovery regions (instantaneous and delayed regions) and three growth stages (instantaneous, delayed, and ultimate extrudate swelling stages). The free recoil and the extrudate swelling behaviors may be expressed as a function of shear stress. The correlations of instantaneous, delayed, total and ultimate extrudate swell effects to the molecular parameters and the operational variables in the simple shear flow at steady shear stress were derived from the dynamic theory of die swell. Also, two sets of new universal equations on the total extrudate swelling effect (TESE) and ultimate extrudate swelling effect (UESE) were deduced. The first is the universal equation of the logarithmic correlation between the TESE and the growth time under the free and dynamic states; the second is the universal equation of the logarithmic correlation between the UESE and the operational variables under the free and equilibrium states. The first equation was verified by experimental data of PBD with different molecular weights at different operational variables. The second equation was verified by experimental data of HDPE at two temperatures and different operational variables. An excellent agreement result was obtained. The excellent agreement shows that the two universal equations can be used directly to predict the correlations of the TESE and UESE to the growth time, the molecular parameters, and the operational variables under the dynamic and equilibrium states.展开更多

文摘The dynamic theory of die swell deduced in a previous paper was extensively applied to study the extrudate swelling behaviors of two entangled polymeric liquids (HDPE and PBD) in a simple shear flow at steady shear stress. The mechanism and dynamics for the recoils and the recoveries of viscoelastic strains in the extrudate were investigated under the free recovery and dynamic states. It was found that in the course of recovery the free recoil and the growth of die swell in the extrudate may be divided into two recovery regions (instantaneous and delayed regions) and three growth stages (instantaneous, delayed, and ultimate extrudate swelling stages). The free recoil and the extrudate swelling behaviors may be expressed as a function of shear stress. The correlations of instantaneous, delayed, total and ultimate extrudate swell effects to the molecular parameters and the operational variables in the simple shear flow at steady shear stress were derived from the dynamic theory of die swell. Also, two sets of new universal equations on the total extrudate swelling effect (TESE) and ultimate extrudate swelling effect (UESE) were deduced. The first is the universal equation of the logarithmic correlation between the TESE and the growth time under the free and dynamic states; the second is the universal equation of the logarithmic correlation between the UESE and the operational variables under the free and equilibrium states.
