Abstract: A method for genetic transformation of edible mushrooms is provided relating to the technical field of genetic transformation of Agaricus bisporus, enoki mushroom and shiitake. The disclosed method for genetic transformation of Agaricus bisporus includes: inoculating Agaricus bisporus liquid mycelia into a foxtail-millet-grain culture medium, and pre-culturing them at 20-25° C. until Agaricus bisporus mycelia grow on surfaces of foxtail millet grains. This method uses the foxtail millet grains as an attachment matrix, and during the pre-culturing and co-culturing, the culture substrate is shaken up every day. The method for genetic transformation of enoki mushroom or shiitake includes: inoculation of enoki mushroom mycelia or shiitake mycelia, activated culturing of agrobacterium, and agrobacterium infecting a foxtail millet grain-enoki mushroom mycelium matrix or a foxtail millet grain-shiitake mycelium matrix.

Abstract: A dechlorinating agent for blast furnace top gas prepared by the steps of: selecting industrial limestone, commercial sodium carbonate and potassium hydroxide; soaking the raw industrial limestone in a potassium hydroxide solution, wherein a concentration of the potassium hydroxide solution is 10%-15%; heating the soaked limestone at 700° C. for calcination; grinding the light-burned limestone obtained by calcining the limestone and sodium carbonate until the particle size is below 20 ?m; mixing the light-burned limestone and the sodium carbonate at a proportion of 30-70:70-30 for 10-15 min; grinding the resultant mixture by milling process until the particle sizes of all powders are less than 80 ?m; adding 3% bentonite in the prepared mixing powder and fully mix the mixture; pelletizing the mixture with atomized water using a disc pelletizer; and selecting pellets of 3-10 mm in size; drying the said pellet at a temperature below 100° C.

Abstract: A method of providing lock-based access to nodes in a concurrent linked list includes providing a plurality of striped lock objects. Each striped lock object is configured to lock at least one of the nodes in the concurrent linked list. An index is computed based on a value stored in a first node to be accessed in the concurrent linked list. A first one of the striped lock objects is identified based on the computed index. The first striped lock object is acquired, thereby locking and providing protected access to the first node.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for maintaining a count for lock-free stack access. A numeric value representative of the total count of nodes in a linked list is maintained at the head node for the linked list. Commands for pushing and popping nodes appropriately update the total count at a new head node when nodes are added to and removed from the linked list. Thus, determining the count of nodes in a linked list is an order 1 (or O(1)) operation, and remains constant even when the size of a linked list changes.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting vehicle headlights and a region-of-interest (ROI) segmenting method and apparatus are disclosed. The ROI segmenting method includes: performing an edge extracting operation on a captured image to obtain edges of the captured image; selecting edges meeting predetermined criteria from the obtained edges, the predetermined criteria being the similarity between the region surrounded by the selected edges and the pattern formed by a vehicle headlight in physical reality at a position of the selected edges; determining the region surrounded by the selected edges within the captured image as a vehicle headlight pattern; and segmenting the ROI which potentially includes the vehicle pattern from the captured image based on the determined vehicle headlight pattern. With such a method and apparatus, the ROI of a vehicle may be acquired from the image without using the vehicle's bottom shadow.
