Eye and Iris Detection Using Projection and Radial Symmetry Transform

This paper presents an eye and iris detection algorithm for human facial images. The authors combine three features of the eye to develop the algorithm: 1) the pixels surrounding the eyes are more variable than other parts of the face; 2) eye pixels are darker than their neighbors; 3) eyes often exhibit radial symmetric properties. Through the first feature, two rough regions of both eyes are detected on the face. Eye masks are then formed based on the second feature, and a fast radial symmetry transform is applied to the two rough regions of both eyes. Finally, accurate iris centers are located by searching the maximum value of the radial symmetry transform results. Using 450 human facial images from the Caltech face database, experiments show that the success rate of the proposed method is 91.7%. The effectiveness of the method was also verified through detection of video frames.     

Design of DC Partial Discharge Detecting System for Electrical Equipment

A balancing method was used to build a DC partial discharge (PD) testing circuit for electrical equipment, and a narrow-band detection system was designed using detection resistance and a filter. After signal accessed a high-speed digital acquisition (DAQ) card, the system was triggered to extract a single partial discharge (PD) signal. To eliminate the interference pulses caused by power supply ripple, etc., the time domain and frequency domain features of pulses were extracted. Based on the features, cluster analysis was used to exclude interference pulses. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional histograms were obtained by use of the Δt method. Then, 22 discharge statistical operators were calculated for the two-dimensional charts. Lastly, the defective system is capable of PD detection in electrical equipment.     

Traffic Impact Analysis of the Access to Projects on Traffic Performance of Nearby Roadways

Access to any development is a connection between the buildings and urban roadways. The impact of access on urban roads varies with location of the access. This paper studies the impact of access to large buildings on the surrounding road network by exploring traffic conflicts based on the configuration of the access. The concept of conflict intensity is introduced in this study as a new evaluation indicator to evaluate the traffic conflict triggered by the presence of access. The results show that the greater the speed, the greater the conflict intensity of access. Meanwhile, a similar situation exists when other variables (e.g., conflict angle or the number of conflicts) change. The larger the conflict intensity, the more dangerous the access. Results from this study can help developers and traffic engineers choose suitable locations of access and organize the traffic in a logical manner.     

锂对慢性铝暴露大鼠脑内CDK5和PP2A表达的影响

目的 研究锂对慢性铝暴露大鼠脑内周期蛋白依赖性激酶5(CDK5)和蛋白磷酸酯酶2A(PP2A)表达的影响,进一步探讨锂抑制tau蛋白磷酸化的作用机制.方法 慢性铝暴露大鼠12只,随机分为锂治疗组和非治疗组.锂治疗组给予氯化锂[200mg/(kg·d)]溶液连续灌胃6周;非治疗组以等量生理盐水灌胃.另取6只同月龄非铝暴露大鼠为正常对照组.Morris水迷宫测试3组大鼠学习记忆功能;Western blotting检测大鼠大脑皮层及海马磷酸化tau蛋白、CDK5、PP2A的表达.结果 慢性铝暴露非治疗组大鼠脑内磷酸化tau蛋白含量、CDK5表达明显高于正常对照组大鼠(P<0.05),且慢性铝暴露非治疗组大鼠脑内磷酸化tau蛋白含量与CDK5表达呈正相关(r=0.702,P=0.036).锂治疗组大鼠脑内磷酸化tau蛋白含量、CDK5表达明显低于非治疗组(P<0.05),且锂治疗组大鼠脑内CDK5表达与磷酸化tau蛋白含量呈正相关(r=0.871,P=0.024),而正常组、锂治疗组和非治疗组大鼠皮层及海马PP2A含量无明显差异(P>0.05).结论 抑制脑内CDK5表达可能是锂降低tau蛋白过度磷酸化,减少大鼠脑内神经原纤维缠结的又一途径.
