Abstract: A multi-drivers-in-the-loop driving testing platform is provided including at least a sensing simulation system, a vehicle dynamic simulation system, a driving simulator and a scene simulation system. The sensing simulation system is configured to generate object-level perception information, and send it to a vehicle control system; the driving simulator is configured to provide a driving environment and a driving scene for a human driver, output a driving instruction according to a driving intention of the human driver, and then send the driving instruction to the vehicle control system; the vehicle dynamic simulation system is configured to calculate state information according to control signals output by the vehicle control system; and the scene simulation system is configured to update the driving scene displayed in the driving simulator timely according to the vehicle state information. The disclosure saves costs of research and development and shortens cycles of research and development.

Abstract: Metal powder particles for use in additive manufacturing are made by removing material from the surface of the particles using wet chemical etching to create a nanoscale texturing of the surface, increasing absorptivity by the metal powder particles of incident laser light and maintaining flowability. The nanoscale texturing has sub-wavelength features at laser wavelengths in the range 800-1100 nm. The particles are substantially spherical and have mean diameters in the range 10-70 ?m.

Abstract: A block of a frame of a video stream can be encoded using lossless coding that generates a transform domain residual block and a spatial domain difference block. The compression ratio of the coding may be improved by selecting an optimal quantization value on a per-block basis. The optimal quantization value can be selected by quantizing a residual block resulting from prediction of the block using a plurality of candidate quantization values and selecting the candidate quantization value that results in the fewest number of bits for the quantized residual block.

Abstract: The invention demonstrates the application of an artemisinin derivative and its pharmaceutical salt. The artemisinin derivatives diarteether amine and its pharmaceutical salt inhibit the proliferation of leukemic cells, block the cell cycle of leukemic cells and induce the apoptosis of leukemic cells. Artemisinin derivatives of the present invention and its pharmaceutical salt can be used for the preparation of anti-leukemia medicines, especially for treatment of acute leukemia and, what's more, for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.
