Abstract: Since it is difficult to locate license plate quickly and precisely under complicated background and different illumination conditions, therefore, this paper proposes a high-speed and precise approach to solve such kind of problem on the basis of texture analysis and projection method. The approach utilizes both rich textural feature and projective statistical feature of characters in LP region to carry out coarse and fine license plate location. The experiment shows that, under different illumination, car models and background conditions, such approach is proved to be fast, precise and practical.

Abstract: As there are uncertainties in the public transportation network optimization evaluation process, many existing methods cannot simultaneously describe the uncertainties in different types and therefore will result in an un-objective reflection of the actual problem. In this paper set-pair and entropy analysis is used to analyze the internal connections of the system globally and locally. This model which is simple in calculation and easy to use has theoretical and practical values for new ideas and methods of uncertainty analysis of the public transportation network optimization.

Abstract: According to the tropical island of Hainan land use types of the actual situation, conduct targeted training to choose, determine the object of study by IDRISI software and technology by means of the spectral characteristics of the data obtained by the calculation analysis and feature comparison, the data conclusions, so as to Next to study land use type data base.

Abstract: Urban cultural crisis becomes a common phenomenon under the background of current globalized wave and rapid urbanization; the traditional city planning emphasizes on shaping material spatial form and lacks deep understanding and respect towards city culture, leading to the loss of city characteristics. It mainly because the cultural values of the urban planning are not clear and the urban spatial planning is divorced from cultural planning seriously. This paper starts with the cultural duality of urban space, puts forward that it is inevitably logical to integrate the cultural planning into the urban planning system; It discusses the theories and methods of cultural planning for urban spaces from the target system construction, main content and operation system, stressing that the core of cultural planning for urban spaces is the combing of cultural spatial factors and spatial cultural structure, then propounds the way to melt it into existing city planning system to enhance urban planning to the new stage of cultural consciousness and initiative.

Abstract: This paper introduces a residence design in subtropical region. It uses several new techniques to build a low carbon and liveable house. It also gives many calculations to prove its energy-saving and efficiency.

Abstract: The symbolic design of the landscape reflects the cultural relationship between human and society, human and nature, the exploration and the practice of landscape significance is one of the most basic activities that human can know the world and the nature, expressing humans thoughts, it can deeply understand the symbolic design of the landscape in contemporary urban city and know the importance of the innovation by means of understanding the symbolic significance and symbol in different contexts.

Abstract: Synergy was the core content of urban building complex. The value from it could be divided into three levels: economic value, space value and urban value. The paper discussed the space value via overall efficiency, composite uses, and energy integration, and finally pointed out the misunderstandings throughout the development of urban building complex in main land of China today.

Abstract: The layout of rental station of bicycle and scaling prediction is the reason of hard to renting and returning the bicycle. Base on the experimental practice of public bicycle system planning, this paper presents the basic principles and thoughts about the planning of the system, and combining with the Dongcheng district discussed the models limitations in predicting the scaling. Finally, some recommendations are proposed to build an excellent system.

Abstract: Since the urban traffic congestion becomes severe increasingly,the fundamentalsolution is reasonableallocation ofresources, and togive priority tothe development ofpublic transport carrying large capacity. Many scholars are researching how to attract travelers to give up the car and transfer to public transit. The problem is that what extents do the service attributes such as time costs and other change can lead travelers to the mode conversion. The utility function which depicts the probability of attribute parameters and selection probability must have a critical state causing the conversion. Account for this, the concept of critical expected utility is proposed, and gradient theory is introduced, combined with spatial analytical geometry method. Besides, by deriving method for solving the critical value based on the Probit model, depicts the dependency of the critical balance of each parameter. Finally, several strategies are proposed for a special line for Asian Games, and an evaluating indicator is designed for comparison and analysis, which has great impact on transport policy formulation and adjustment.

Abstract: It has been reported that polyphenols in red wine have potentially protective effects such as vasodilation, lowering blood pressure, reduction of endothelin synthesis, antioxidation, anticancer effects, and inhibition of kinases, whereas the precise mechanism underlying the polyphenol effects remains obscure. In this study, patch-clamp test was employed in order to examine the effect of three major polyphenols, quercetin, resveratrol, and catechin, extracted from red wine on sodium channel currents in mouse dorsal root ganglia cells. The three polyphenols more or less suppressed the sodium channel activity in a concentration-dependent manner. This suggests the sedative impact of polyphenols on the neuronal excitation.
