The terraced thermal contrast among the Tibetan Plateau, the East Asian plain, and the western North Pacific and its impacts on the seasonal transition of East Asian climate

The heating sources over the Tibetan Plateau （TP）, the East Asian plain, and the western North Pacific （WNP） form a terraced thermal contrast in the west-east direction. Over East Asia and the WNP, this zonal thermal contrast contributes as high as 45 % to the seasonal variance based on the EOF analysis and exerts a significant impact on the seasonal transition of the East Asian climate through the enhancement of the year-round southerly to the southeast of the TP in late March and early April. This effect is investigated in this study using a high-resolution regional atmospheric model by doubling the surface sen- sible heat flux, respectively, over the TP, the East Asian plain, and the WNP in three sensitivity experiments. Comparisons among the experiments reveal that doubling the surface sensible heat flux over the WNP has little upstream response over East Asia. The increased zonal thermal contrast between the TP and the East Asian plain due to doubled heat flux over the TP would induce anomalous northerly over the region with year-round southerly to the southeast of the TP and weaken its seasonal enhancement. Doubling the surface sensible heat flux over the East Asian plain decreases the zonal thermal contrast and leads to southerly anomaly over the region with year-round southerly to the southeast of the TP and South China, which is favorable for the enhancement of the year-round southerly and its eastward extension.     

基于k-means簇分析提取DSC成像的脑动脉输入函数

手动提取DSC-MRI脑灌注动脉输入函数的方法耗时长、对操作者依赖,同时准确性和可再现性较差.针对该问题,提出了一种基于k-means簇分析原理的半自动计算方法,对感兴趣区内像素分簇并计算各簇平均曲线,当某簇平均曲线的［峰值/(峰值到达时间×半高宽)］最大时,该簇像素的平均曲线则被视为动脉输入函数.选取20例健康被试的灌注数据进行测试,通过与传统手动方法进行比较,证实所提方法的临床可适用性.结果表明,基于k-means簇分析的半自动方法提取的动脉输入函数优于人工方法,提高了计算的准确性和可靠性,减少了分析时间和操作者依赖.

针对传统基于多尺度Retinex的单幅彩色图像增强算法, 进行图像增强时未考虑亮度分量和局部对比度, 导致图像增强未达到最佳尺度值, 获取的增强图像存在失真、 带有雾膜的问题, 提出一种基于改进多尺度Retinex的单幅彩色图像增强算法. 首先采用高斯环境函数 对3种灰度图像实施卷积并进行灰度纠正, 将3种纠正灰度后的图像合并, 获取初步单幅彩色图像增强结果; 然后改进多尺度Retinex的单幅彩色图像增强算法, 增强单幅彩色图像像素的平均亮度; 最后通过非线性函数对亮度增强后的彩色图像实施局部对比度增强处理, 用线性调整方法恢复局部对比度增强后的图像颜色, 以获取最佳单幅彩色图像的图像增强结果. 实验结果表明, 该算法可获得亮度和对比度均较好的单幅彩色图像增强结果.     

An Intelligent Agent Approach to Adaptive Project Management

This paper presents the initial steps to integrating a distributed discrete event simulation system with a framework for intelligent software agents. The resulting system has a simulation component that is based on the high-level architecture (HLA) and an agent component that implements the belief-desire-intention (BDI) approach to agent modelling. The architecture is connected to a real-time information source. The framework was successfully applied to a real-life monitoring system for a tunnel-boring machine excavation project that helped with forecasting and managing the project timelines in response to the changes in the uncertain excavation environment. This project is presented as a test case and demonstrates encouraging results for integrative modelling of large-scale problems with elements of uncertainty.

说“不得(dei)”

助动词"不得"以否定的形式表达了肯定的意思,即"不得"和"得"存在着肯否对立的消失。沈家煊先生的标记论观点和张谊生先生关于"不"的主观减量作用的看法,可以很好地解释这一现象。这在"不得"的分布环境中均能得到验证。此外,"不得"的主观预期的特点也值得我们注意。     

Fabrication of Dex-Loaded Shape Memory Polymer Based Composite Nanofibers ：for Potential Bone Tissue Engineering

Biodegradable shape memory polymers （SMPs） are a class of intelligent materials with great potential for imparting biomaterial scaffolds multifunetionality in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. In this study, the biodegradable SMP poly（ D, L-lactide-co-trimethylene carbonate） （PLMC） incorporated with the ,dexamethasone （Dex）, which was a kind of synthetic bone-formation inducing factor, was fabricated into nanofibers via dectrospinning. The morphology, constituent, thermal and mechanical properties of the produced Dex/PLMC composite nanofibers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, Fourier transform ：infrared spectroscopy （ FTIR ）, differential scanning calorimetry （DSC）, and tensile testing, respectively. Then, ultrasound was ,employed as a remote stimulus to regulate the Dex releasing behavior from the composite nanofibers. It was found that the generated Dex/ PLMC composite nanofibers had a uniform and smooth morphology with a diameter of ca. 564 nm. Mechanical testing results showed that incorporation of the Dex gave rise to improved mechanical performance with the tensile strength, Young＇ s modulus and strain- at-break increased by 18.2 %, 20. 0 % and 64.4 %, respectively. DSC data revealed that the glass transition temperature （ Tg ） of the composite nanofibers, i. e., the thermal transition temperature （Ttrans） for activating shape memory effect, was 39. 7 ℃. Moreover, the release kinetics of the encapsulated Dex in the aanofibers could be manipulated by varying the acoustic power and insonation duration. These results suggested that the newly developed Dex/PLMC nanofibers could be a promising drug delivery system for applications in bone tissue engineering （BTE）.
