Compared with the previous methods, the new approach can reconstruct the acoustic source with a 2p detection angle and significantly reduce the time for reconstructing calculation.","PeriodicalId":6374,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76661133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results indicated that the mean value of nitrate nitrogen in groundwater of this area was 1.58 mg/L, which met the criterion of the second level water quality in national criterion of groundwater quality, and in this study area the regional anisotropy caused by nitrate in groundwater was enlarged. The average concentration of nitrate nitrogen in groundwater from grain field was significantly higher than those from orchard and the other type of field, while it was slightly higher than that from vegetable field. Mean values of nitrate nitrogen in groundwater from vegetable field had a positive linear correlation with those of whole area in different sampling times. Effective countermeasures to reduce the risk of nitrate pollution in groundwater in Daxing district should be considered including rationally using agricultural inputs in planting area with intensive agricultural activities, carrying out effective water management measures, formulating corresponding laws and rules of groundwater nitrate pollution prevention and control, reinforcing the propaganda of popular science and improving the environmental consciousness of the public.","PeriodicalId":6374,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75299895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Functional Regeneration of Rats with Nerve Injuries via Transplantation of Bamboos","authors":"Nie Min, Meiling Zhang, Xiaohui Liu, Nie Shuai, Shi Wei, Yaosheng Yan, Suiping Han","doi":"10.1109/ICBEB.2012.232","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICBEB.2012.232","url":null,"abstract":"Could plants grow in animals? Could the roots of a plant facilitate the regeneration of limb functions in animals with nerve injures? Does there exist rivalry and mutual immune between plants' and animals' immune system? So far there is no experiment or research report concerning these questions. In this paper, we show the experimental answers to these questions via transplantation of bamboos. We picked 36 rats weighing 250~280g randomly, and halved them into two groups: the control group (Group A) and the experiment group (Group B). The upper part of both the first lumbar (L1) and the second lumbar (L2) of all those rats were damaged, by transecting the dorsal nerve filament, about 5mm in length. We sutured and disinfected Group A. To Group B we transplanted the roots of bamboo in the nerve transection, with the roots clinging firmly to the two ends of the severed nerve, leaving the stems and leaves outside. During the 7 weeks after the surgery the research on behavioral comparison had been made. The rats in Group A were incontinent and paralyzed on their hindquarters. There was also no needling response on their hindquarters. When applying noxious hot water (48°C) to their hindquarters, no response was observed. The rats in Group B, however, recovered well---their limbs moved freely, responded quickly to prod, and shrank rapidly when noxious hot water touched their hindquarters. The situation of the bamboo that transplanted was good, the leaves were green and the stems were tall and straight. Therefore, the experimental result demonstrates that a plant could not only grow in an animal, but its roots can also facilitate the regeneration of limbs function. And there also exists a complex mechanism of immunity rivalry between the immune system of plants and that of animals, which results in the fast regeneration of nerve signal transmission path. We name the nerve regeneration induced by animals' immunity stimulated process Nerve Stimulated Regeneration (NSR). NSR approach might be a new way to reconstruct limbs function for people who are suffering from nerve injuries.","PeriodicalId":6374,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74834483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that a appropriate application rate of chicken manure significantly increased the yield of wheat. No obvious differences of corn yield were observed among the treatments of different chicken manure application rates. The soil organic matter, total nitrogen(N), total phosphorus (P), total Zinc (Zn) and nitrate (NO3--N), available P and available Zn contents significantly increased with the increasing rates of the chicken manure respectively. The soil organic matter, N, P and Zn supply could be maintained by the combined application of the low chicken manure rate (15 t/hm2) and chemical fertilizer in the wheat season. Compared with the check treatment (CK) with no chicken manure, the contents of soil nitrate, available P and available Zn increased when the rate of chicken manure were 90 t/hm2 and 150 t/hm2, respectively. After one cycle of wheat-corn rotation, compared with CK, the chicken manures application at a rate of 90 t/hm2 increased soil NO3--N, available P and available Zn content by 68.29%, 91.37% and 77.02%, respectively. For the chicken manures treatment at 150 t/hm2, soil NO3--N, available P and available Zn content were increased by 69.58%, 133.16%and 177.7%, respectively.","PeriodicalId":6374,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74374781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The soil concentrations of total nitrogen and organic matter were negatively correlated with depth with the surface layer being characteristically accessible, with higher nitrogen content and a wavy surface while the other three deeper layers contained root masses and lower contents of both total nitrogen and organic matter. As expected, the concentrations of soil total nitrogen and organic matter content were positively correlated.

According to the analysis of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), images from the International Affective Picture System (IAPS) were classified as background containing positive, neutral, or negative information, 5 eigen faces with positive or negative expressions were used as foreground (target). A discrimination task and a competition task were designed to test the subjects' attentional bias under contrast/correlative information.

Results showed that negative information could result in reaction time delay in facial expression cognition in general, and this affection not only appeared to the cognitive procession of expression, but also affected by the information from environment.
