Abstract Considering cloud computing from an organizational and end user computing point of view, it is a new paradigm for deploying, managing and offering services through a shared infrastructure. Current development of cloud computing applications, however, are the lack of a uniformly approach to cope with the heterogeneous information fusion. This leads cloud computing to inefficient development and a low potential reuse. This study addresses these issues to propose a novel Web 2.0 Mashups as a Service, called WMaaS, which is a fundamental cloud service model. The WMaaS is developed based on a XML-based Mashups Architecture More >

Abstract Early diagnosis of stroke with timely treatment could reduce adult permanent disability significantly [1]. Conventional medical imaging tools such as X-ray, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) have been widely used for diagnosis of brain disease. However, each of these methods has some limitations. X-ray imaging produces harmful radiation to the human body and challenging to identify early-stage abnormal tissue due to the relatively small dielectric proprieties contrast between the healthy tissue and abnormal tissue at X-ray frequencies [2]. PET provides useful information about soft tissues, but it… More >

Abstract This study was focus on the exploring the therapeutic function of lysyl oxidase (LOX) in rat nucleus pulposus (NP) cells in intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). To do this, a Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat caudal spine degeneration model was established by puncturing the Co5-6 disc. NP cells apoptosis and extracellular matrix (ECM) degeneration in IVDD were evaluated by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), Hematoxylin-Eosin (H&E) and immunofluorescence. Then, the therapeutic effect of LOX on IVDD was evaluated by histological staining. In vitro, the regulator effect of LOX on degenerate rat NP cell was explored. ECM… More >

Abstract Cells adhere to a substrate and generate traction forces in focal adhesions that enable them to apprehend extracellular mechanical properties [1]. Current concerns are focused on mechanisms how the mechanical balances hold in the cell and affect the cell behavior, and therefore non-invasive measurement techniques for the cell traction forces are required. The cell traction force microscopy (TFM) generalized by Dembo and Wang [2] is an attractive approach to non-invasively estimate cell traction force fields, in which an inverse problem is solved using a mechanical model of the substrate and displacement fields from fluorescent images… More >

Abstract Fabric defect detection has been an indispensable and important link in fabric production, many studies on the development of vision based automated inspection techniques have been reported. The main drawback of existing methods is that they can only inspect a particular type of fabric pattern in controlled environment. Recently, nonlocal self-similarity (NSS) based method is used for fabric defect detection. This method achieves good defect detection performance for small defects with uneven illumination, the disadvantage of NNS based method is poor for detecting linear defects. Based on this reason, we improve NSS based defect detection More >

Abstract In order to study the dynamic characteristics of a simply supported double-beam system under a moving mass, the system of fourth-order dynamic partial differential equations of a simply supported double-beam system was transformed into a system of second-order dynamic ordinary differential equations relative to time coordinates by performing the finite sin-Fourier Transform relative to space coordinates. And the analytical solution of the dynamic response of the simply supported double-beam system under a moving mass was obtained by solving the system of dynamic ordinary differential equations. The analytical method and ANSYS numerical method were used to… More >

Abstract It is the development trend of library information management, which applies the mature and cutting-edge information technology to library information retrieval. In order to realize the rapid retrieval of massive book information, this paper proposes a book retrieval method combining QR code with image retrieval technology. This method analyzes the visual features of book images, design a book image retrieval method based on boundary contour and regional pixel distribution features, and realizes the association retrieval of book information combined with the QR code, so as to improve the efficiency of book retrieval.

Abstract On the basis of harmonic mapping theory, a mobile grid technology is applied to computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Starting from the observation that standard fixed-grid techniques often fail in addressing problems with large deformations, we elaborate a new algorithm relying on the software COMSOL Multiphysics 5.3a to solve the coupling of the mobile grid equation and the governing differential equations for fluid flow. The motion of water in a water tank when the tank waggles is simulated. We demonstrate that this technology can be implemented without a significant increase in the computational cost with respect More >
