Main trace element levels (F, As, Hg, and Pb) in shallow groundwater in the reclamation area may be affected by leaching from the gangue. This can has an impact on the application of the water for agricul- tural irrigation or use as drinking water. Therefore, it is of great significance to understand the effect coal gangue has on the shallow groundwater of a reclaimed area. We studied the effect of coal gangue on fluo- rine, arsenic, mercury, and lead levels in the shallow groundwater of a reclamation area by testing the water and the coal gangue. One well near the reclamation area was used as a control well and element levels in water from this well and from the soil next to the well were also measured. The results show that the levels of these elements are increasing in the reclamation area over time. The increase in fluorine, arsenic, mercury, and lead in monitor wells varies from 7.42% to 8.26%, from 7.13% to 7.90%, from 4.85% to 6.48%, and from 4.69% to 6.42%, respectively. Fluorine and arsenic levels are lower in monitor wells than in the control water. The other elements are found in greater concentration than in the control. The Nemerow index also indicates that the shallow groundwater in the reclamation area I is moderately affected by the back-filling coal gangue, while the shallow groundwater in the reclamation area II and III are slightly affected by the back-filling coal gangue. This shallow groundwater could be used for agri- cultural irrigation or for drinking.展开更多

Cache-conscious indices such as the CSB^＋-tree are shown to outperform conventional main memory indices such as the AVL-tree and the T-tree. This paper proposes a cacheconscious version of the T-tree, CST-tree, defined according to the cache-conscious definition. To separate the keys within a node into two parts, the CST-tree can gain higher cache hit ratio.展开更多

Indexing technique is a key component of MMDBs. Unfortunately, the predominant indexes -B^＋-trees and T-trees -- have been shown to utilize cache poorly, which triggers the development of many cache-conscious indexes, such as CSB^＋-trees and pB^＋-trees. Most of these cache-conscious indexes are variants of conventional B^＋-trees, and have better cache performance than B^＋-trees. In this paper, we develop a novel J^＋-tree index, inspired by the Judy structure which is an associative array data structure, and propose a more cacheoptimized index -- Prefetching J^＋-tree （pJ^＋-tree）, which applies prefetching to J^＋-tree to accelerate range scan operations. The J^＋-tree stores all the keys in its leaf nodes and keeps the reference values of leaf nodes in a Judy structure, which makes J^＋-tree not only hold the advantages of Judy （such as fast single value search） but also outperform it in other aspects. For example, J^＋-trees can achieve better performance on range queries than Judy. The pJ^＋-tree index exploits prefetching techniques to further improve the cache behavior of J^＋-trees and yields a speedup of 2.0 on range scans. Compared with B^＋-trees, CSB^＋-trees, pB^＋-trees and T-trees, our extensive experimental Study shows that pJ^＋-trees can provide better performance on both time （search, scan, update） and space aspects.展开更多

[Method] Anti-breaking models of the main veins of flue-cured tobacco leaves were constructed for principal component analysis on the anti-breaking index, leaf traits and cellulose contents. [Result] The results showed that the growth traits had certain relevance with the cellulose contents while the leaf weight assumed a significant negative correlation with the anti-breaking index, indicating that the heavier the leaf weight was, the weaker the anti-breaking capacity of flue-cured tobacco would be; the cross-sectional area of main veins and the cellulose contents had shown a positive correlation with the anti-breaking index, indicating that the thicker the main vein of flue-cured tobacco was, the higher the cellulose contents would be, and the stronger the anti-breaking capacity of flue-cured tobacco leaves would be. [Conclusion] This study provided theoretical basis and reference to improve tobacco production and enhance the quality of flue-cured tobacco.展开更多
