TWO ASYMMETRICAL PERMIAN GRANITIC BELTS IN THE SOUTHEAST CAOB AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS

There has been much discussion about the evolution of the Southeastern CAOB in the past two decades [Tang, 1990; Hong et al., 1994; Xiao et al., 2003; Li, 2006; Chen et al., 2009; Jian et al., 2010]. Most people believed that the Palaeozoic Asia ocean was closed along the Solonker suture at Permian with two-direction subduction models [Xiao et al., 2003; Jian et al., 2010]. Three EW subparallel Permian granitic belts took place both side of the Solonker suture, including Erlian-Uliastai belt on north side of the Erlian-Hegengshan ophiolite, south Mongolia-Xilinhot belt the Erlian-Hegengshan ophiolite on the north and the Solonker suture on the south, and the Baotou-Chifeng belt along the north margin of North China Carton on the south of the Solonker suture. Most Permian granitoids in the ErlianUliastai belt and Mongolia-Xilinhot belt were intruded in Early-Middle Permian.There has been much discussion about the evolution of the Southeastern CAOB in the past two decades [Tang, 1990; Hong et al., 1994; Xiao et al., 2003; Li, 2006; Chen et al., 2009; Jian et al., 2010].

Detection and Characterization of E-Health Research: A Bibliometrics (2001–2016)

E-health is the use of ICT to improve the ability to treat patients, facilitate behavior change, and improve health. It has many benefits like healthcare cost reduction, convenience for users, and health system improvement. Several literature reviews have included one part or the other of the field, but an overall review is lacking possibly due to the field’s constant evolution. An overview of E-health research is needed. We selected the related literature on E-health downloaded from Web of Science and PubMed as data source and used the visualization analysis function of CiteSpace. Literature information would be converted into precise mapping knowledge domain. Through further analysis of mappings, we explored the theoretical framework and the forefront in the field of E-health. Our study shows that over the past 15 years, the USA, England, and Australia were the top three countries that published the largest number of papers. Researches about Internet technology, telemedicine (m-health), and healthcare lay the basis of E-health research development. Particularly, m-health, health system management, and experimental intervention have emerged and formed the new study frontier in the recent 3–5 years. With the advancement of E-health projects, an increasing number of scholars have been studying the commercialization of E-health

An Iterative Co-Saliency Framework for RGBD Images

As a newly emerging and significant topic in computer vision community, co-saliency detection aims at discovering the common salient objects in multiple related images. The existing methods often generate the co-saliency map through a direct forward pipeline which is based on the designed cues or initialization, but lack the refinement-cycle scheme. Moreover, they mainly focus on RGB image and ignore the depth information for RGBD images. In this paper, we propose an iterative RGBD co-saliency framework, which utilizes the existing single saliency maps as the initialization, and generates the final RGBD cosaliency map by using a refinement-cycle model. Three schemes are employed in the proposed RGBD co-saliency framework, which include the addition scheme, deletion scheme, and iteration scheme. The addition scheme is used to highlight the salient regions based on intra-image depth propagation and saliency propagation, while the deletion scheme filters the saliency regions and removes the non-common salient regions based on interimage constraint. The iteration scheme is proposed to obtain more homogeneous and consistent co-saliency map. Furthermore, a novel descriptor, named depth shape prior, is proposed in the addition scheme to introduce the depth information to enhance identification of co-salient objects. The proposed method can effectively exploit any existing 2D saliency model to work well in RGBD co-saliency scenarios. The experiments on two RGBD cosaliency datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed framework.Comment: 13 pages, 13 figures, Accepted by IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics 2017.

Energy efficiency in the Chinese provinces:a fixed effects stochastic frontier spatial Durbin error panel analysis

Energy efficiency improvement has been a key objective of China's long- term energy policy. In this paper, we derive single-factor technical energy efficiency (abbreviated as energy efficiency) in China from multi-factor efficiency estimated by means of a translog production function and a stochastic frontier model on the basis of panel data on 29 Chinese provinces over the period 2003-2011. We find that average energy efficiency has been increasing over the research period and that the provinces with the highest energy efficiency are at the east coast and the ones with the lowest in the west, with an intermediate corridor in between. In the analysis of the determinants of energy efficiency by means of a spatial Durbin error model both factors in the own province and in first-order neighboring provinces are considered. Per capita income in the own province has a positive effect. Furthermore, foreign direct investment and population density in the own province and in neighboring provinces have positive effects, whereas the share of state-owned enterprises in Gross Provincial Product in the own province and in neighboring provinces has negative effects. From the analysis it follows that inflow of foreign direct investment and reform of state-owned enterprises are important policy handles

Primary synovial sarcoma of the heart

Primary synovial sarcoma of the heart is very rare, accounting for 5% of cardiac malignancies. Of the few cases reported in the literature to date, nearly all have had a very poor outcome. We present a further case. This uncommon malignancy has no specific symptoms during its development, which results in delayed diagnosis. Echocardiography, chest computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging can provide effective information about this tumor. With the identification of the characteristic and diagnostic chromosomal abnormality t(X; 18), this malignancy will become increasingly recognized. Synovial sarcoma of the heart requires surgical intervention to improve the prognosis. Adjuvant and/or genetic therapy pre- or postoperation can help prolong life. Chemotherapy is usually recommended as it may benefit the patients. The key to treatment in the future is to find new therapeutic agents. Further elucidation of the effects of this chromosomal abnormality may lead to better-directed therapies in future. (Cardiol J 2011; 18, 2: 128-133
