An efficient selectivity estimation method for spatial query optimization with topological relationships

Many commercial database systems maintain histograms to summarize the contents of relations and permit the efficient estimation of query result sizes and the access plan cost. In spatial database systems,most spatial query predicates are consisted of topological relationships between spatial objects,and it is very important to estimate the selectivity of those predicates for spatial query optimizer. In this paper, we propose a selectivity estimation scheme for spatial topological predicates based on the multidimensional histogram and the transformation scheme. Proposed scheme applies two-partition strategy on transformed object space to generate spatial histogram and estimates the selectivity of topological predicates based on the topological characteristics of the transformed space. Proposed scheme provides a way for estimating the selectivity without too much memory space usage and additional I/Os in most spatial query optimizers.     

Implementation of spatial touch system using time-of-flight camera

Recently developed timeofflight principle based depthsensing video camera technologies provide precise perpixel range data in addition to color video. Such cameras will find application in robotics and visionbased human computer interaction scenarios such as games and gesture input systems. Timeofflight principle range cameras are becoming more and more available. They promise to make the 3D reconstruction of scenes easier, avoiding the practical issues resulting from 3D imaging techniques based on triangulation or disparity estimation. A spatial touch system was presented which uses a depthsensing camera to touch spatial objects and details on its implementation, and how this technology will enable new spatial interactions was speculated.     

催化剂厚度对碳纳米管直径的影响

由于碳纳米管具有独特的结构和性能，因而自从被发现以来一直受到人们的关注。近年来，已利用各种方法成功地合成出碳纳米管，特别是利用化学气相沉积方法制备高度准直的碳纳米管。分析了该方法中催化剂厚度对碳纳米管直径的影响，利用负衬底偏压热灯丝CVD系统和不同厚度的NiFe催化剂在Si衬底上直接生长，并用扫描电子显微镜来研究碳纳米管的生长过程。结果表明催化剂颗粒封闭了碳纳米管的顶端，催化剂厚度对碳纳米管的直径有较大的影响，碳纳米管的平均直径随催化剂厚度的增大而增大。     

黄河沉积物中REE制约与示踪意义再认识

根据黄河不同地区的20个沉积物全岩样、酸溶相和酸不溶相中的稀土元素(REE)组成分析,并与1999年的研究比较,揭示出黄河沉积物REE组成主要受流域黄土源岩控制,而粒度、化学风化和人类活动等因素影响较弱.磷酸盐和Fe-Mn氧化物是形成酸溶相中的中稀土富集主要因素;而重矿物则明显影响了全岩和酸不溶残渣态REE分异特征.在世界大河中黄河沉积物REE组成非常独特,直接反映了我国上陆壳和陆表沉积物的组成特征,也可以用做标准化物质,用来对比研究世界其他河流的REE分异特征.

“京子”叫什么名字——《蚝痴》和《新加坡人》里面的外国(人)形象比较

在东亚国家,“外国(人)”这个词具有比较复杂的含义.分析两篇小说《蚝痴》《新加坡人》,可以看到对待外国人两种不同的态度.《蚝痴》以东方和西方简单的二元对立为其基本思想框架,而在其中,东方内部他者的声音是很难听得到的.但是在《新加坡人》中,作家将很多他者的声音以很陌生的方式直接表现在文本中,以此保持他们的“他者性”.所有东方他者的声音都被还原为中华的声音的时候,我们内部的及周围的他者会失去他们自己的名字.“京子”叫什么名字?     

Photo-Fenton工艺处理畜产废水的运转条件

对于photo-Fenton工艺处理畜产废水进行了试验,通过改变高级氧化法的各种参数得到了最佳运转条件。最佳运转条件是:当pH=5、c[Fe2 ]=10 mmol/L、c[H2O2]=100mmol/L、反应时间为80min时,采用重铬酸盐法测定的化学需氧量(CODcr)为79%,色度为70%,大肠杆菌的去除率为99.5%。污泥发生量体积比为0.075,浓度约为5.6mg/L。结果表明:去掉畜产废水中妨碍紫外线吸收的固形物质后利用photo-Fenton工艺进行处理,可替代生物学方法对畜产废水进行处理。若用太阳光代替紫外线作为光源,则将进一步降低成本。因此,该方法是一种环保工艺。
