The majority of kinetic data available in the literature suggests that substrates are predominantly recognized at the amino acid moieties, and most BSHs are more efficient at hydrolyzing glycol-conjugated bile salts than tauro-conjugated bile salts [9-10].
The reduction rate of cholesterol for KS4 was 54.24% which was obviously higher than other strains.
And the reduction rates of cholesterol for other strains were 11.98% to 47.29%.

The production’s efforts are focused on production costs reduction and finding of optimal solution of used machine, tools, cutting conditions, workers, transport, storage and working time in component production [2, 3, 4-9].
Reduction of production costs are given by replacement of technologies.
This fact is supported from the data shown in Fig. 2.
Use of these process cutting conditions results in peak reductions and a reduction of the distance between peaks and valleys (evaluation by the Rz parameter – shown in Fig. 2, these results are supported by the surface profile – in Fig. 3).

The unprecedented expansion of city scale and the spatial sprawl of city, caused by sharp increase of city population, rapid economic development, large-scale demand for city housing and lack of infrastructure and so on, which bring about sharp reductions in farmland and green space.
These leave a huge hidden trouble for the development of the city and greatly influence the sustainable development of the city. 1) The sharp reduction of cultivated land, a threat to national food security According to the statistical data of China's Ministry of land and resources, there are 1.826 billion acres of cultivated land in our country.
Reasonable housing needs can direct the overheating land development to normal track, make the urban space growth achieve a virtuous circle, reduce consumption of farmland in the city suburb and release the pressure of sharp farmland reduction . 3) The compact city inclines to form the agglomeration effect of city space and save the city development costs.
When the scale reaches a certain “threshold value”, there will be a series of uneconomical phenomenon such as the increase of commuting distance, the sharp increase of traffic organization expenses, diminishing marginal benefit of public facilities and the quality reduction of ecological environment.

The benefits of IPS for ship electrification include combat system effectiveness, survivability, signature reduction and quieting, improved operational flexibility and reliability, increased flexibility and adaptability, more space available, reduced manning, logistics, and costs, life-cycle cost and fuel-consumption savings [2].
Therefore, significant reduction in dimension and complexity of the model is often done by making judicious approximations, by limiting fidelity or coverage, or by employing both of these means [8].
In Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the reductions in voltage magnitude are about 20V (2.9%) and 100V (14.5%), respectively.
If the voltage variation is still not accepted, a higher voltage or starting current reduction techniques, such as Y-D starter, autotransformer, soft starter, can be used to reduce motor starting currents for maintaining voltage quality in the system.
Test results have shown that for the data used the transient and dynamic voltage qualities of the system while main propulsion motors and bow thruster motors operate could be accepted.

The reduction is due to polymer chain scission which induced by UV radiation under sunlight.
In addition to the reduction in tensile strength, all samples encountered a drastic reduction in Eb.
The data in Table 1 shows the decrease trend with the addition of SSP and TSSP into the blends over the exposure period.
In this work system, the reduction of Eb resulted from the loss of plasticizer in the blends.

The recorded length change was then compared to calculations carried out assuming that martensite fraction followed the Koistinen-Marburger equation (Eq. 1, l being considered a fitting parameter) [8], and using published data for lattice parameters of martensite and austenite [9].
In this matter, it is remarkable that forming 30% martensite prior to bainitizing at 220 C in 100CoCrSi10 allows a reduction in heat-treatment time of approx 45% and 36% (with respect to the times required to reach 90 and 95% transformation respectively).
Reduction in transformation time in hour, and as a percentage of time for 90% transformation.
The mechanisms leading to a reduction of bainitic transformation time due to prior martensite formation are still discussed.
Indeed, whilst an overall reduction in heat-treatment time is clearly made possible with such a heat-treatment, the bainite reaction occurs, after formation of some fraction of martensite, in a virtually identical manner as it would if that first transformed fraction had been obtained through isothermal bainite reaction.

The data of curing characteristics including the maximum torque (MH), minimum torque (ML), scorch time (ts1), time to 50% of full torque (t50) and time to 90% of full torque or the optimum cure time ( t90 ) was determined using a M-2000A rheometer (Gotech Testing Machines INC, China) according to GB/T 16584－1996 at 140˚C.
It can be seen from Table 2 that, the Mooney viscosity increased with the addition of 1.0 phr of CS/PHB and then decreased with increase in the total amount of CS/PHB, but still had a value higher than that of NR compound; the ML increased only slightly with the increase in the amount of CS/PHB, while the MH increased slightly when the CS/PHB content was not less than 5.0 phr, and then increased in a higher extent when the CS/PHB content was above 10.0 phr; the ts1 showed a tendency of reduction with increase in the amount of CS/PHB, although it was only slightly different from that of NR compound when the CS/PHB content was not higher than 3.0 phr, indicating that the compound was easier scorched with the addition of CS/PHB; the t50 and t90 decreased with the increase in the amount of CS/PHB and then increased with the addition of CS/PHB with a lowest value at 3.0 phr, however their values were not greatly different from that of NR compound.
The reduction in tensile strength and elongation at break with increase in CS/PHB content can be attributed to decrease in strain-induced crystallization ability caused by the reduction of NR content in the blends; and the increase in 300% and 500% moduli, tear strength and hardness can be the result of increase in elastic modulus and crystallinity by the addition of CS/PHB.
The extent of reduction in tensile strength and elongation at break for NR/CS/PHB vulcanizate was comparable with that for SNRL/CS films obtained from the blending of prevulcanized natural rubber latex(SNRL) with chitosan (CS); however the extent of increase in 300% and 500% moduli, tear strength and Shore A hardness for NR/CS/PHB was less than that of SNRL/CS[8], indicating that a much higher temperature resulting from internal mixing and vulcanization can adversely affect properties compared with SNRL/CS blending carried out in mild temperature.

With the collection of large high-dimensional data in scientific investigation, the related covariance matrix becomes complicated to deal with.
A number of statistical methods, including principal components analysis for dimensional reduction, linear and quadratic discriminant analysis for classification, setting confidence intervals on linear functions, establishing independence relations between components, require the estimation of covariance matrices.
However, with the collection of large high-dimensional data in scientific investigations, data sets that don not fit the classical multivariate theory have recently become very common.

Data Set Data Reduction.
The NGSIM data set was an open-source data set that has been used research simulation model development, and was used to build the lane changing models.
This data set includes vehicle trajectories on a segment of U.S.
Each vehicle intervals were 100ms to make data huge.
The performance of the two models for the test data is shown in Table 2.
