Benefits and limitations of biochar for climate-smart agriculture: a review and case study from China
No full textAbstract Biochar has gained significant attention in agricultural and environmental research over the last two decades. This comprehensive review evaluates the effects of biochar on soil organic carbon (SOC), emission of non-CO 2 greenhouse gases, and crop yield, including related mechanisms and major influencing factors. The impacts of biochar on SOC, methane and nitrous oxide emissions, and crop yield are controlled by biochar and soil properties and management practices. High-temperature biochar produced from lignin-rich feedstocks may decrease methane and nitrous oxide emissions in acidic soils and strengthen long-term carbon sequestration due to its stable aromatic structure. In contrast, low-temperature biochar from manure may increase crop yield in low-fertility soils. Applying biochar to farmlands in China can increase SOC content by 1.9 Pg C and reduce methane and nitrous oxide emissions by 25 and 20 Mt CO 2 -eq year −1 , respectively, while increasing crop yields by 19%. Despite the increasing evidence of the positive effects of biochar, future research needs to explore the potential factors that could weaken or hinder its capacity to address climate change and secure crop production. We conclude that biochar is not a universal solution for global cropland; however, targeted applications in fields, landscapes, or regional scales, especially in low fertility and sandy soils, could realize the benefits of biochar as a climate-smart measure. Highlights The findings of research on biochar's effects on soil C sequestration, GHG mitigation, and crop production were summarized. The factors influencing the impact of biochar on soil functioning were reviewed. The effects of biochar on soil C sequestration and GHG mitigation in farmlands of China were quantified.

An Efficient Background Reconstruction Based Coding Method for Surveillance Videos Captured By Moving Camera
No full textWith the proliferation of moving surveillance cameras, how to effectively compress videos captured from them is becoming more and more important. One significant characteristic is that, these cameras always go and return cyclically within a limited area. Thus we propose to dynamically build up a background frame for each input frame from a generated panorama background and employ it for a background frame based motion compensation to improve the coding efficiency. For the background reconstruction procedure, we firstly extract limited number of feature point pairs between the robustly searched area in the decoded panorama and the current frame. Afterwards, the global motion transformation matrix is obtained to rectify the searched area into a projective plane of the current frame, and then the reconstructed background is produced. Experiments on six in-door and out-door surveillance videos show that, the background reconstruction based coding method achieves significant performance gain.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000311849200028&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701Engineering, Electrical & ElectronicEICPCI-S(ISTP)
Microwave calculators on iOS
No full textMicrowave techniques and theories are important to many applications, including communication engineering, radar, navigation, power, measurement, remote sensing. Engineers or researcher often require make some common calculations that cannot be simply done by calculator. However, sometimes with a PC and computer programming is not convenient and handy to obtain the results of microwave equations. To make this easier and more intuitive for users, a cross-platform tool is needed.
With enormous popularity of Apple products (iPad, iPhone and iPod touch) worldwide, iOS applications have demonstrated great interests and favours among millions of Apple product users. This project provides a full software development process of microwave calculator application for iPhone with compatibility of other Apple products running iOS system.Bachelor of Engineerin

Association of Apolipoprotein C3 Genetic Polymorphisms with the Risk of Ischemic Stroke in the Northern Chinese Han Population.
No full textThe apolipoprotein C3 (APOC3) gene, which is a member of the APOA1/C3/A4/A5 gene cluster, plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism. Dyslipidemia is an important risk factor for ischemic stroke. In the present study, we performed a hospital-based case-control study of 895 ischemic stroke patients and 883 control subjects to examine the effects of four APOC3 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs2854116, rs2854117, rs4520 and rs5128) on the risk of ischemic stroke in a northern Chinese Han population. The SNaPshot Multiplex sequencing assay was used for SNP genotyping, and the potential association of genotype distributions and allele frequencies with ischemic stroke was analyzed statistically. Compared with the GG genotype, the CC+GC genotype of rs5128 was significantly associated with an increased risk in females (adjusted OR = 3.38, 95% CI = 1.82-6.28, P <0.01) after all of the risk factors were adjusted for with logistic regression analyses. A similar relationship was found between the rs4520 polymorphism and ischemic stroke risk in Han Chinese women. Under a recessive genetic model, the TT+TC genotypes of this variant increased ischemic stroke risk (adjusted OR = 2.05; 95% CI = 1.28-3.29; P <0.01). Haplotype analysis revealed that in males, the T-C-T-C haplotype of rs2854116-rs2854117-rs4520-rs5128 was significantly more frequent in the ischemic stroke group than in the control group (OR = 1.49, 95% CI = 1.18-1.87, P<0.01). The results of our study indicate that the APOC3 polymorphisms contribute to ischemic stroke susceptibility in females in the northern Chinese Han population
