The results show that species diversity and abundance of radiolarian in the surface sediment increase with water depth, indicating no obvious dissolution of radiolarian shell in the deep SCS. Upwelling activity and volcanic eruption are both in favor of radiolarian propagation, and cause the settlement enrichment of radiolarian shell. Whereas, an abnormal reduced radiolarian fauna in deeper slope sediment may result from the remain of turbid flow that brings sediments from shallow area, such as shelf and upper slope. Radiolarian species are mainly composed of tropic-subtropic types, and include some cold or polar species, which indicates that a mistake in paleoceanographic analysis should arise from the monospecific index. However, synthesis radiolarian indexes in sediments may well respond to the ecologic and depositional environments in the SCS.展开更多

The joint distribution of directional edge images is modeled as a multidimensional Lorentzian (MDL) function and regarded as a new image prior. This model makes full use of gradient information to restrict the solution space and yields an edge-preserving SR algorithm. The Lorentzian parameters in the cost function are replaced with a tunable variable, and graduated nonconvexity (GNC) optimization is used to guarantee that the proposed multidimensional Lorentzian SR (MDLSR) algorithm converges to the global minimum. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the MDLSR algorithm as well as its superiority over conventional SR methods.展开更多

FEA provides an accurate three-dimensional finite element biomechanical study in osteonecrosis of femoral head(ONFH).
