Image processing applications via time-multiplexing cellular neural network simulator with numerical integration algorithms

A novel approach to simulate cellular neural networks (CNN) is presented in this paper. The approach, time-multiplexing simulation, is prompted by the need to simulate hardware models and test hardware implementations of CNN. For practical applications, due to hardware limitations, it is impossible to have a one-to-one mapping between the CNN hardware processors and all the pixels of the image. This simulator provides a solution by processing the input image block by block, with the number of pixels in a block being the same as the number of CNN processors in the hardware. The algorithm for implementing this simulator is presented along with popular numerical integration algorithms. Some simulation results and comparisons are also presented.     

Data City: Urban Metabolic Decision Processes

Designer and computational specialist Daniel Segraves describes the decarbonisation tool that he has helped develop in collaboration with Chicago-based Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architects and the Argonne National Laboratory Computation Department. The creation of the multi-scale analytic model focusing on the embodied and expended carbon of urban systems allows for energy performance to be tracked across a wider region, encompassing multiple buildings and agents.     

太平洋牡蛎(Crassostrea gigas)鳃氯细胞的超微形态研究

利用透射电子显微镜研究了太平洋牡蛎鳃氯细胞的超微结构。氯细胞主要分布于鳃小叶的基部,呈口袋状,细胞个体较大,在鳃表面有一凹隐的分泌腔。细胞中,细胞核多位于基部,体积较小;具有发达的微细小管系统,但小管的分支程度低;线粒体数量较少且结构不够发达;可见少量的高尔基体,未见内质网。鳃氯细胞是太平洋牡蛎鳃渗透压调节的重要细胞系统。     

A memorial essay on Merton Max Gill (1914-1994).

Reviews the book, Psychoanalysis in transition: A personal view by Merton M. Gill (see record 1994-98473-000). Merton Gill's final book, subtitled A personal view, may aptly be understood from a retrospective perspective as a fitting presentation of his intellectual memoirs. From that vantage point, Gill's final book conveys a wish that his personal legacy be understood by the public in terms of his evolving contributions to change and new perspectives in the history of psychoanalytic theory and technique, rather than through other details of his personal life. First, in terms of Gill's intended audience, it is clear that he succeeded in his intention to create a work that would be enlightening to both students and beginning clinicians, as well as to the more experienced practitioner. It is also plausible that Gill was writing this book for a third audience, not made explicit, but of great importance to him. This third audience could be understood to be comprised mostly of those who have known him personally, those who have collaborated with him, and the many others who are already familiar with his work and its course of evolution. Psychoanalysis in transition (1994) can be understood as a further examination of Gill's stated basic aim of his earlier monographs on transference in at least two ways: (a) It continues his dialectical effort to examine and synthesize dichotomies in psychoanalytic theory and practice and (b) it extends his views about the need to be alert to here-and-now interactions in the analytic situation and presents an elaboration of Gill's subsequent new metatheory and metapsychology, which he sees as supplanting Freud's "natural science physicoenergic framework." In conclusion, Transitions in psychoanalysis stands as an evocative and insightful final statement of Merton Gill's perceptions of the broad landscape of ongoing, major psychoanalytic controversies.

Processing and characterisation of low cost Balistid fish Sufflamen capistratus liver oil for edible purpose

The physico-chemical properties of liver oil from low cost Balistid fish Sufflamen capistratus extracted by Soxhlet, Bligh and Dyer, direct steaming, solar extraction and Mc Gill and Moffat methods were assessed. The oil yield was high (70.3%) in Soxhlet method when compared with other methods. The physical properties such as solidification point, melting point, refractive index and moisture content of the extracted oil samples were differed between methods. The chemical properties like the acid value, free fatty acid (FFA) level and carotenoid content of the individual oil samples were showed extraction methods dependant variation. Fatty acid content was also showed variation between methods; polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) content was high (23.07%) in Bligh and Dyer method. In all the oil samples, fat soluble vitamin K was more when compared with the other tested vitamins. Irrespective of methods of extraction, permissible level of heavy metals and minerals were recorded in the oil samples.

Effects of PAHs on Biotransformation Enzymatic Activities in Fish

Biotransformation and detoxification responses to the exposure to five polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were investigated in crucian(Carassius auratus). Juvenile crucian were treated with a single intraperitoneal injection of each compound at dosages of 0.1, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0 and 8.0(or 10.0) mg/kg and sacrifced 15 d later to determine 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase(EROD) and glutathione S-transferases(GST) activities in gill S9 fractions. EROD activity is significantly increased by benzo(b)fluoranthene and indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene at all the doses. High dosages of PAHs induced GST activity and the inducing ability of them increased in the following order: fluorene< fluoranthene相似文献

响应面法优化两种食品工业废料在小白侧耳培育中的应用研究

将土豆渣、凤尾菇菌糠——两种食品工业常见废料用于小白侧耳培育,并以响应面法对培养基配比进行分析和优化。得到温度为18℃,pH值为7.0,培养料含土豆渣29%、凤尾菇菌糠58%的最优培养条件。于此条件下实际收获小白侧耳98g,与理论值104.717g接近。所收获之菌菇色泽纯白,香气浓郁。该方法合理有效地消耗和利用了价值几乎为零的两种工业废料,变废为宝,节约废旧材料处理人物力成本的同时,亦有效增地加了经济价值。
