The carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions caused by the global construction industry account for 36% of the world’s total carbon emissions, and 50% of China’s total carbon emissions. The carbon emissions from Jiangsu Province’s construction industry account for approximately 16% of the total emissions of the Chinese construction industry. Taking the construction industry in Jiangsu Province as our stu...

introduction contrast-enhanced fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (flair) is one of the mri sequences that can be used for detection and evaluation of pathological changes in the brain. in this work, we have studied the effect of different echo times (te) on the maximum relationship between signal intensity and concentration of the contrast agent using the flair sequence. materials and methods...

The toxic effects of heavy metals, zinc and copper, in unary and binary solutions were studied using the Microtox acute toxicity test which relies upon the attenuation of light intensity emitted by Vibrio fischeri. The toxic effect Gamma (ratio of the light intensity lost at time t to the light intensity remaining at time t) of zinc could be related to its concentration [X] by a two-parameter e...

Spatially adaptive intensity bounds on the image estimate are shown to be an effective means of regularising the ill-posed image restoration problem. For blind restoration, the local intensity constraints also help to further define the solution, thereby reducing the number of multiple solutions and local minima. The bounds are defined in terms of the local statistics of the image estimate and ...
