Monitoring multi-temporal and spatial variations of water transparency in the Jiaozhou Bay using GOCI data.

Water transparency, commonly measured as Secchi disk depth (SDD), is essential for describing the optical properties of coastal waters. We proposed a regional linear corrected SDD estimation model based on the North Sea Mathematical Models for GOCI and the mechanical model developed by Lee et al. (2015) in the Jiaozhou Bay.

Comparison of Lipid and Palmitoleic Acid Induction of under Heterotrophic and Phototrophic Regimes by Using High-Density Fermented Seeds.

Palmitoleic acid, one scarce omega-7 monounsaturated fatty acid, has important applications in the fields of medicine and health products. has been considered as a promising candidate for the production of palmitoleic acid due to its high lipid and palmitoleic acid content and remarkable heterotrophic ability. The high-density heterotrophic cultivation of was conducted in this work, and the highest biomass of 42.

A Two-Stage Outlier Filtering Framework for City-Scale Localization Using 3D SfM Point Clouds.

Three-dimensional structure-based localization aims to estimate the six-DOF camera pose of a query image by means of feature matches against a 3D Structure-from-Motion (SfM) point cloud. For city-scale SfM point clouds with tens of millions of points, it becomes more and more difficult to disambiguate matches. Therefore, a 3D structure-based localization method, which can efficiently handle matches with very large outlier ratios, is needed.

Field study on attached cultivation of Arthrospira (Spirulina) with carbon dioxide as carbon source.

Microalga is considered as a promising candidate for CO bio-sequestration. Biofilm attached cultivation is a newly developed technology with many advantages over conventional aqua-suspended methods. In this research, the field performance of this technology was investigated with a 10 m pilot system under greenhouse condition by cultivating Arthrospira (Spirulina) platensis with CO as carbon source.

Combined production of fucoxanthin and EPA from two diatom strains Phaeodactylum tricornutum and Cylindrotheca fusiformis cultures.

Fucoxanthin and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) provide significant health benefits for human population. Diatom is a potential natural livestock for the combined production of EPA and fucoxanthin. In this study, first, the effects of three important parameters including light intensity, nitrogen concentration and salinity were evaluated for the production of EPA and fucoxanthin in two diatom strains Phaeodactylum tricornutum and Cylindrotheca fusiformis.

Heterotrophy of filamentous oleaginous microalgae Tribonema minus for potential production of lipid and palmitoleic acid.

Heterotrophic fermentation and high valuable co-product producing are thought to be effective ways to improve the economic viability and feasibility of commercial production of microalgae biofuels. This work reported the heterotrophic cultivation of Tribonema minus for lipid and palmitoleic acid (a novel functional fatty acid) production. Firstly, the heterotrophic ability of T.

A Data-Driven Point Cloud Simplification Framework for City-Scale Image-Based Localization.

City-scale 3D point clouds reconstructed via structure-from-motion from a large collection of Internet images are widely used in the image-based localization task to estimate a 6-DOF camera pose of a query image. Due to prohibitive memory footprint of city-scale point clouds, image-based localization is difficult to be implemented on devices with limited memory resources. Point cloud simplification aims to select a subset of points to achieve a comparable localization performance using the original point cloud.

Strategy study on enhancing lipid productivity of filamentous oleaginous microalgae Tribonema.

Filamentous microalgae Tribonema is promising for biodiesel production in terms of high lipid content, easy harvesting and good contamination tolerance. As high lipid productivity is a key basis, several methods including different culture medium, phosphorus, iron and CO2 inductions were tested to enhance lipid productivity in Tribonema minus. T.

Broadband Tunability of Polarization-Insensitive Absorber Based on Frequency Selective Surface.

An innovative tunable and polarization-insensitive 1.6-8 GHz frequency selective surface (FSS) absorber was investigated in this study. The proposed FSS, which is in 4-axial symmetrical form, includes a novel array of PIN diodes with biasing lines including inductors.

VUV Photodissociation Dynamics of Nitrous Oxide: The N((2)DJ=3/2,5/2) and N((2)PJ=1/2,3/2) Product Channels.

We report on an experimental study of the vacuum ultraviolet photodissociation dynamics of nitrous oxide as a function of photolysis wavelength. In this study, both the N((2)DJ) + NO(X(2)Π) and N((2)PJ) + NO(X(2)Π) product channels were investigated using the time-sliced velocity ion imaging technique. Images of the N((2)DJ=5/2,3/2) and N((2)PJ=3/2,1/2) products were measured at seven and ten, respectively, photolysis wavelengths between 124.

Altered baseline brain activity in children with bipolar disorder during mania state: a resting-state study.

Background: Previous functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have shown abnormal functional connectivity in regions involved in emotion processing and regulation in pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD). Recent studies indicate, however, that task-dependent neural changes only represent a small fraction of the brain's total activity. How the brain allocates the majority of its resources at resting state is still unknown.

Sodium valproate-induced enuresis in a pediatric bipolar patient.

Sodium valproate (SV) is effective and well tolerated for the treatment of epilepsy and mood disorders. There are several cases of SV-induced enuresis noted in epileptic patients. No alternative medication has been suggested to manage this problem.

[A Meta-analysis of the effectiveness of risperidone versus traditional agents for Tourette's syndrome].

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of risperidone versus traditional agents in treating Tourette's syndrome.

Methods: Randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) of risperidone versus traditional agents for Tourette's syndrome were identified, and eligible studies were included according to our established strategy. Besides methodological quality of inclusive trials, assessed by the Jadad scale, heterogeneity test, Meta-analysis, funnel plot analysis, subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were used to analyze the data.
