A method of hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry was applied to the determination selenium concentration regular polished rice in China and selenium-enriched obtained by foliar application fertilizer forms selenite selenate. The average content 0.025 ± 0.011 μg g-1. On basis a daily dietary intake 300−500 g suggested Nutrition Society, total from calculated be 7.5−12.5 per person day for an adult. contents were significantly increased 0.471−0.640 g-1 at rate 20 Se ha-1 sodium...

This research was to determine the effect of foliar application selenium on increasing antioxidant activity tea harvested during early spring producing season using a α,α-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging method and linoleic acid system. The results showed that ability extracts followed this order first 60 min: selenium-enriched obtained by fertilization with selenate > BHT obatined selenite α-tocopherol regular tea. Se-enriched exhibited highest inhibition percentage...

The focal plane array (FPA) is a promising solution for LiDAR that offers advantages such as low optical loss, power consumption, and simple system architecture. To enhance the ranging performance of FPA, we propose novel structure featuring single antenna transmitting laser beam an receiving return signal. theoretical directionality antennas up to 91.6%. Utilizing above structure, fabricated 6-channel FPA chip successfully demonstrated scanning object shapes. This scalable technical support...

Abstract Atomic fluorescence spectrophotometry was used to determine the selenium (Se) concentration in 30 rice products of different species from Southern China. The Se level ranged 0.015 0.046 µg g −1 . Considering average daily individual consumption China, dietary intake supplied by this source is only 6–18 day for an adult. This low mainly responsible total inhabitants Foliar spraying Se‐enriched fertiliser or sodium selenite with 14–18 ha heading stage growth increased content...

To avoid the problem of weak connections between panel sheets and core layers lattice structures obtained by traditional fabricating method, polylactic acid were integrally manufactured fused deposition modeling 3D printing technology in present study. An orthogonal test was designed to evaluate influence distance, diameter, length on their compression energy absorption properties. Theoretical analysis finite element method conducted predict properties structures. The optimum specification...

Limited main memory size is considered as one of the major bottlenecks in virtualization environments. Content-Based Page Sharing (CBPS) an efficient deduplication technique to reduce server requirements, which pages with same content are detected and shared into a single copy. As widely used implementation CBPS, Kernel Samepage Merging (KSM) maintains whole two global comparison trees (a stable tree unstable tree). To detect page sharing opportunities, each tracked needs be compared already...

Citric acid (CA) and Cu2+ were used to enhance Fe2+-activated persulfate (PDS) for rhodamine B (RhB) oxidative degradation. The effects of PDS concentration, Fe2+ CA pH, common inorganic anions in water on activation RhB degradation investigated. Results showed that sulfate hydroxyl radicals the primary active substances reaction system, with radical playing a key role. addition improved efficiency decomposition, achieving removal rate 98.4% after 30 min reaction, governed by...

Multithreaded programming relies on locks to ensure the consistency of shared data. Lock contention is main reason low parallel efficiency and poor scalability multithreaded programs. profiling primary approach detect lock contention. Prior tools are able track behaviors but directly store data into local memory regardless interference targeted

Vehicle detection and type recognition are important for intelligent transportation systems in smart cities. The real time high accuracy with affordable hardware is a challenging issue due to the complexities of video data. In this paper, we propose an integrated approach that combining traditional three-frame difference deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) detect vehicle recognize traffic videos captured fixed mounted cameras. This can take advantage real-time motion ability...

Engineering Change Orders (ECO) modify a synthesized netlist after its specification has changed. ECO is divided into two major tasks: finding target signals whose functions should be updated and synthesizing the patch that produces desired change. This paper proposes an efficient SAT-based solution for second task: resource-aware computation of multi-output functions. The based on several new algorithms outperforms top three winners 2017 ICCAD CAD Contest (Problem A).

DRAM access traces (i.e., off-chip memory references) can be extremely valuable for the design of subsystems and performance tuning software. Hardware snooping on interface is an effective nonintrusive approach to monitoring collecting real-life accesses. However, compared with software-based approaches, hardware approaches typically lack semantic information, such as process/function/object identifiers, virtual addresses, lock contexts, that essential complete understanding systems software...

Pervasive computing is converging with cloud as the development of smart cities. There arise complexities from this convergence, like unprecedented large number devices, flexibilities and adaptation services for fitting personalization requirements end users, expectations powerful storage capabilities handhold so on. Therefore, a supporting infrastructure that can handle big data arisen flexibly switch at run time, needed. Henceforth, in paper, we propose an OSGi based pervasive (OSGi-PC)...
