In this paper, the main problem and countermeasure of fruit production quality and safety were studied in Yanshan Mountain. The subjective factor was fruit farmer quality and safety consciousness faint, and the objective factors were: severe orchard environmental pollution, faint fruit postharvest handling, lag in process technology, fruit quality determination and market inspection system is n...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe the tools and strategies that were employed by C/W MARS to successfully develop and implement the Digital Treasures digital repository. Design/methodology/approach – This paper outlines the planning and subsequent technical issues that arise when implementing a digitization project on the scale of the large, multi-type, automated library networ...

Both poles of Mars are hidden beneath caps of layered ice. We calculated the density of the south polar layered deposits by combining the gravity field obtained from initial results of radio tracking of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter with existing surface topography from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter on the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft and basal topography from the Mars Advanced Radar fo...

Background. The Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System (MARS) has been shown to clear albumin-bound toxins from patients with liver failure but might cause bleeding complications potentially obscuring survival benefits. We hypothesized that monitoring clotting parameters and bed-side thromboelastography allows to reduce bleeding complications. Methods. Retrospective analysis of 25 MARS sessio...

The High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) onboard the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Mars Express (MEX) has been orbiting Mars since December 2003. One of the main aims is to cover Mars globally in color and stereoscopically at high resolution. HRSC has so far covered almost half of the surface of Mars at a resolution better than 20 meters per pixel. High resolution digital terrain models (DTM) a...

Trend forecasting and proper understanding of the future changes is necessary for planning in health-care area.One of the problems of analytic methods is determination of the number and location of the breakpoints, especially for fluctuation data. In this area, few researches are published when number and location of the nodes are not specified.In this paper, a clustering-based method is develo...

Australia is an ideal testing ground in preparation for the robotic and human exploration of Mars. Numerous sites with landforms or processes analogous to those on Mars are present and the deserts of central Australia provide a range of locations for free-ranging Mars analogue mission simulations. The latest developments in testing technologies and strategies for exploration in Australian Mars ...

We report the detection of intense emission from magnesium and iron in Mars’ atmosphere caused by a meteor shower following Comet Siding Spring’s close encounter with Mars. The observations weremade with the Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph, a remote sensing instrument on the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN spacecraft orbiting Mars. Ionized magnesium caused the brightest emission from th...
