The system comprises an information collection unit, a data cleaning unit, a contribution value acquisition unit and a data warehouse creation unit. The method and the system can help an advertiser to understand actual web advertising effectiveness from a number of perspectives, thereby accurately measuring underestimated or overestimated channel value in conventional methods, and providing the most accurate data support for optimizing web advertising and improving rate of return on investment.

A method for effectively removing acidic sulfide gas using ammonia-based desulfurization includes the following steps of: 1) pre-treatment, wherein sulfide in acid gas undergoes through pre-treatment methods of sulfur recovery, acid making or / and incineration to convert remaining sulfur in the acid gas into sulfur oxides, and the acid tail gas with sulfur oxides is obtained; and the acid gas is derived from petrochemical industry, natural gas chemical industry, coal chemical industry, etc.; 2) ammonia absorption of sulfur oxides, wherein the acid tail gas with sulfur oxides is allowed to flow into an ammonia absorption apparatus, and a cyclic absorption solution is used to absorb sulfur oxides; and 3) post-treatment of ammonium sulfate, wherein a saturated or nearly saturated absorption solution undergoes concentration, crystallization, solid-liquid separation, and drying to obtain a solid product of ammonium sulfate. Sulfur oxides (including sulfur dioxide, sulfur trioxide and hydrates thereof) in the acid tail gas are removed and sulfuric acid, sulfur and ammonium sulfate are byproduced, and the cleaned gas is discharged upon meeting the emission standard.

The invention relates to a device (40) for standard uptake value, SUV, determination during an emission tomography imaging procedure of a patient. The device receives SUV-related data required for SUV determination, and event data relating to one or more events that may affect the SUV determination. The SUV-related data includes a time of administration of the radiotracer dose to the patient. The event data includes at least one of: a time at which an emission tomography imaging procedure of the patient is performed, patient motion data, patient position data, and patient vital signs data. An anomalous event determination unit (42) determines, based on the event data, anomalous event information indicative of one or more anomalous events that affect the SUV determination. An SUV determination unit (43) determines the SUV based on said SUV-related data taking into account the anomalous event information.

The embodiment of the invention relates to an advertisement putting method, device and system. The method comprises the following steps: after an advertisement client or a service server receives an advertisement putting request, selecting advertisement information to be putted in accordance with the advertisement putting request; according to the selected advertisement metadata generated by the advertisement server and related to the advertisement information, judging effectiveness of the advertisement information; and determining whether the advertisement information is put or not in accordance with the effectiveness of the advertisement information. By using the embodiment of the invention, the total exposure frequency limit of a terminal side and a network side can be realized exactly and controllably, so that the non-effective advertisement putting can be avoided on the advertisement platform, thus reducing the cost of the advertisers and improving investment return rate of the advertisements.

The invention discloses an efficient slow-release urea. The efficient slow-release urea is prepared by coating urea by utilizing a coating slow-release solution and drying and solidifying the coated urea, wherein the coating slow-release solution consists of the following components in percentage by mass: 1 to 5 percent of gamma-polyglutamic acid, 1 to 5 percent of nitration inhibitor, 0.5 to 5 percent of adhesive, 0.05 to 2 percent of surfactant and the balance of water; and the pH of the efficient slow-release urea is 5.5 to 6.5. The invention also discloses the preparation method of the efficient slow-release urea. The gamma-polyglutamic acid in the efficient slow-release urea has the effects of coating and chelating the urea and the nitration inhibitor, so that separation of the nitration inhibitor and a nitrogen fertilizer is reduced, leaching and runoff losses of nitrate nitrogen are reduced, one-time fertilization can be realized, top dressing is not required, the utilization rate of the fertilizer can be improved by over 15 percent, and the yield of the crops is increased by 10 to 30 percent.
