藏北高原土壤湿度MODIS遥感监测研究

利用Terra与Aqua两颗卫星的MODIS地表温度和植被指数数据,分别构建LST-NDVI与LST-EVI共四种不同组合的Ts-VI特征空间,并依据该特征空间提取温度植被干旱指数(TVDI)作为反映土壤干湿状况的指标,探讨一种合适的遥感监测藏北高原土壤湿度的方案,并基于同步的实地土壤表层含水量采样数据进行验证评价。研究表明,四种数据组合方案提取的TVDI分布图均能较好反映藏北土壤湿度,且Terra MODIS LST-EVI构建的特征空间提取TVDI指标效果最佳。在此基础上获得的藏北高原土壤湿度分级图表明,从东南到西北土壤湿度逐渐降低,并呈现明显的空间分异规律。

Echocardiographic evaluation including tissue Doppler imaging in New Zealand white rabbits sedated with ketamine and midazolam

Limited data are available on the use of more recent echocardiographic parameters in the rabbit. Echocardiographic examination, including conventional echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging (TDI), was performed on 26 male New Zealand white rabbits under ketamine–midazolam sedation. Particular emphasis was placed on the more recent systolic and diastolic parameters, such as myocardial performance index (Tei index) and mitral annular motion (from septal and lateral sides of the left ventricle) obtained using pulsed TDI.Parameters that assessed systolic and diastolic function (fractional shortening, Tei index, and maximal mitral E- and A-wave velocities) were comparable to those reported in the literature for rabbits in the awake state. The less cardiodepressive anaesthetic protocol could offer a good alternative in performing echocardiographic evaluation whenever such caution is necessary. TDI is feasible in healthy rabbits and potentially suitable for the investigation of left ventricle systolic and diastolic function.     

ON THE STUDY OF THE INFLUENCE OF MASS DISTRIBUTION ON DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF A SPINDLE SYSTEM WITH MODALITY ANALYSIS METHOD

The modality analysis method is employed in this paper to study the influence of mass distribution on dynamic characteristics of a spindle system. It is found that there exist obvious difference between the influences of different mass distribution on the natural frequencies . and modality flexbilities of various order-mode. It is shown that the proportion of modality flexbility in the astatic flexbility can be equilibrated by means of adjusting correctly the mass distribution of the spindle system so that the cutting stability is improved as well. Experiment results are quoted to confirm, in a certain degree, the conclusion above.     

Technique for normalizing intensity histograms of images when the approximate size of the target is known: Detection of feces on apples using fluorescence imaging

A challenge in machine vision is to develop algorithms for detecting a substance with an amorphous shape when measured responses of both the substance and the underlying target have similar characteristics. The challenge is exacerbated when responses for targets are highly variable both across and within discrete target units. An example of this problem is the detection of fecal contamination on apples. Feces on apples can be detected using differential fluorescence responses of contaminated and uncontaminated apple surfaces to UV excitation. However, responses of both feces and apples are due to the presence of chlorophyll-related compounds, and the response of apples varies within and between apples due to natural variation in the distribution of these compounds. We present a technique for normalizing the variability of intensity responses among targets based on a priori knowledge of the image dimensions and the approximate target size. Using this information, a linear equation is derived based on the approximate median intensities of the background and of the target. The median intensities are estimated by calculating a cumulative intensity histogram and using a priori estimates of the percentage of the area in the image occupied by the background and by a generic target. The image is scaled for uniform intensity power using this linear transformation. The benefits of using this technique are demonstrated using hyperspectral fluorescence responses to UV excitation of 48 Golden Delicious and 48 Red Delicious apples artificially contaminated with dilutions of cow feces. Results show that the uniform power transformation normalizes the intensity distributions of apple images and increases the contrast between contaminated and uncontaminated areas on apple surfaces; the coefficients of variation for the average intensities of uncontaminated apple surfaces at 668 nm for Golden and Red Delicious apples were reduced from 39 and 55%, respectively, to 5% for both varieties.     

Utility of Transesophageal Echocardiography for Transcatheter Occlusion of Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Dogs: Influence on the Decision‐Making Process

Background: Appropriate device selection for transcatheter occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is essential to procedural success. Objectives: To determine if transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) influences device selection for PDA occlusion and to report benefits, limitations, and complications associated with TEE. Animals: Twenty‐two client‐owned dogs with left‐to‐right shunting PDA. Methods: PDA dimensions were obtained via transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and then TEE followed by angiography. Based solely on information from TTE and angiography, an initial device type and size were selected. After initial device selection, TEE measurements were disclosed and changes in device selection were recorded. After device release, angiography, TEE, or both were performed to assess occlusion. Results: An Amplatz canine duct occluder (ACDO) was securely positioned and released in 21 dogs and an embolization coil was deployed in 1 dog. Based on TEE evaluation, initial selected device type was unchanged but ACDO size was changed in 3 dogs. TEE was utilized throughout the procedure allowing real time visualization of device deployment, release and assessment of closure in 17 dogs. No complications occurred related to TEE. Complete PDA closure was achieved in all dogs. Conclusions and Clinical Importance: TEE provided anatomic information regarding PDA morphology that closely approximated angiographic ductal dimensions while aiding in device deployment, release and confirmation of closure. We conclude that TEE provides complementary anatomical and intraprocedural information and is well tolerated in dogs.
