The stoichiometric association constants, K, the thermodynamic association constant, KA, and the other thermodynamic parameters such as ΔS°, ΔH° and ΔG° for the association between each of the Ca and Mg ions with benzoate, o-toloate, o-chlorobenzoate and salycylate have been determined at 25°C, 35°C and 45°C in aqueous media. Ion-selective electrode technique has been used in the measurements of Ca and Mg ion activitiesThe trend of association behavior of both Ca and Mg aromatic salts could not be explained on the basis of pKa of the mother organic acids but could be explained based on the trend of Hammet function σ of these salts themselves relative to the corresponding benzoate salt. 相似文献

In this paper we present a technique for the automatic recognition of Arabic (Indian) bank check digits based on features
extracted by using the Log Gabor filters. The digits are classified by using the K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN), Hidden Markov
Models (HMM) and Support Vector Machines (SVM) classifiers. An extensive experimentation is conducted on the CENPARMI data,
a database consisting of 7390 samples of Arabic (Indian) digits for training and 3035 samples for testing extracted from real
bank checks. The data is normalized to a height of 64 pixels, maintaining the aspect ratio. Log Gabor filters with several
scales and orientations are used. In addition, the filtered images are segmented into different region sizes for feature extraction.
Recognition rates of 98.95%, 98.75%, 98.62%, 97.21% and 94.43% are achieved with SVM, 1-NN, 3-NN, HMM and NM classifiers,
respectively. These results significantly outperform published work using the same database. The misclassified digits are
evaluated subjectively and results indicate that human subjects misclassified 1/3 of these digits. The experimental results,
including the subjective evaluation of misclassified digits, indicate the effectiveness of the selected Log Gabor filters
parameters, the implemented image segmentation technique, and extracted features for practical recognition of Arabic (Indian)
digits. 相似文献

This paper describes the development of an empirical model which may be used for predicting the G*/sin δ for neat and crumb rubber modified (CRM) binders. The model was developed using 36 unique CRM binder combinations, crumb rubber concentrations were varied at 5% intervals between 5% and 20%. The effects of crumb rubber particle size on model accuracy were also studied, ultimately a model was produced with the capability of predicting G*/sin δ values over a range of temperatures and crumb rubber concentrations. By definition, the upper limit of the performance grade is dependent on the G*/sin δ value; therefore, the relationship was also considered in terms of high end failure temperature.The rubber coefficient for G*/sin δ (Rcg) was identified as an important parameter in the estimation of G*/sin δ in addition to the CRM. This term is a quantitative representation of the increase typically witnessed in G*/sin δ values with the addition of CRM. Ambient ground CRM exhibited higher Rcg values than cryogenically ground particles. Additionally, 95% confidence intervals were generated for the predictive model, thus providing a range of accuracy for the model. The resulting confidence intervals were approximately ±1300 Pa, these confidence intervals were seen to capture 92.6% of the 462 data points used. Findings from this research suggest that the differences between cryogenic and ambient CRM binder are accurately described using the Rcg, furthermore binder properties may be predicted using an empirical equation. 相似文献

A comprehensive Arabic handwritten text database is an essential resource for Arabic handwritten text recognition research. This is especially true due to the lack of such database for Arabic handwritten text. In this paper, we report our comprehensive Arabic offline Handwritten Text database (KHATT) consisting of 1000 handwritten forms written by 1000 distinct writers from different countries. The forms were scanned at 200, 300, and 600 dpi resolutions. The database contains 2000 randomly selected paragraphs from 46 sources, 2000 minimal text paragraph covering all the shapes of Arabic characters, and optionally written paragraphs on open subjects. The 2000 random text paragraphs consist of 9327 lines. The database forms were randomly divided into 70%, 15%, and 15% sets for training, testing, and verification, respectively. This enables researchers to use the database and compare their results. A formal verification procedure is implemented to align the handwritten text with its ground truth at the form, paragraph and line levels. The verified ground truth database contains meta-data describing the written text at the page, paragraph, and line levels in text and XML formats. Tools to extract paragraphs from pages and segment paragraphs into lines are developed. In addition we are presenting our experimental results on the database using two classifiers, viz. Hidden Markov Models (HMM) and our novel syntactic classifier. 相似文献

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) accelerates wound healing, as it is an excellent source of growth factors. PRP was separated from whole human blood by centrifugation. PRP powder and wafers were prepared by lyophilization, with the wafers prepared using sodium carboxymethylcellulose (Na CMC). The PRP wafers showed porous structures, as indicated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, and the ability of the wafer to absorb exudates and thus promote wound healing was tested with the hydration capacity test. The platelet count was tested and indicated that the presence of PRP in the wafers had no effect on the platelet count. An antimicrobial activity test was carried out, showing that PRP had antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria. Compared with lyophilized PRP powder and PRP-free wafers, PRP wafers showed the highest percent of wound size reduction on induced wounds in rats. Histopathological examination of rat skin showed that the PRP wafers achieved the shortest healing time, followed by the lyophilized PRP powder and finally the PRP-free wafers. The present study revealed that PRP can be formulated as a wafer, which is a promising pharmaceutical delivery system that can be used for enhanced wound-healing activity and improved the ease of application compared to lyophilized PRP powder. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Despite "curative" resection, metastases develop in many patients with node-negative (N0) non-small cell lung carcinoma. Alternative biologic markers for this tumor would be useful. Integrins are cell adhesion molecules that are thought to be important in tumor progression, and expression of these molecules previously has been shown to be altered in non-small cell lung carcinoma. We evaluated alterations in integrin expression and clinical outcome. METHODS: Immunohistochemical staining of tumor specimens was performed, and clinical data were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS: Data were complete for 42 patients. Half of all patients (21/42) and 9 of 26 patients with negative nodes experienced tumor recurrence during follow-up. Neither histologic type nor tumor differentiation status correlated with recurrence. However, loss of the alpha v integrin subunit was associated significantly with recurrence in the N0 group. Seventy-five percent of patients with negative nodes who exhibited recurrence lost alpha v expression, compared with only 10% of patients with negative nodes who did not exhibit recurrence (p = 0.012). Alterations of other integrin subunits did not correlate significantly with prognostic follow-up variables. CONCLUSIONS: Loss of alpha v expression may serve as a marker for patients with node-negative non-small cell lung carcinoma who are at high risk for recurrence, potentially directing additional therapies. 相似文献

Gold nanorods (GNRs) have promising applications in drug delivery and cancer treatment and are generally administered via direct injection into the circulation. Thus it is necessary to evaluate their potential adverse effects on blood vessels. Herein, GNRs with various surface modifications are used to evaluate the toxicity and cellular uptake of GNRs into vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells of isolated rat aortic rings. Surfactant-capped GNRs are synthesized and either coated with polyelectrolyte (PE) to prepare PE-GNRs, or modified with thiolated polyethylene glycol (PEG) to prepare PEG-GNRs. Using toxicity assays, small-vessel myography, fluorescence microscopy, and electron microscopy, it is shown that therapeutic concentrations of PE-GNRs but not PEG-GNRs are toxic to the vascular endothelium, which leads to an impaired relaxation function of aortic rings. However, no toxicity to smooth muscles is observed. Moreover, electron microscopy analysis confirms the cellular uptake of PE-GNRs but not PEG-GNRs into the endothelium of exposed aortic rings. The difference in toxicity and cellular uptake of PE-GNRs versus PEG-GNRs is explained and linked to free surfactant molecules and protein adsorption, respectively. The results indicate that toxicity and cellular uptake in the vascular endothelium in blood vessels are potential adverse effects of systemically administered GNR solutions, which can be prevented by appropriate surface functionalization. 相似文献
