Animations showing Lego manipulative tasks: Three potential moderators of effectiveness

Evidence suggests that transient visual information, such as animations, may be more challenging to learn than static visualizations. However, when a procedural-manipulative task is involved, our evolved embodied cognition seems to reverse this transitory challenge. Hence, for object manipulative tasks, instructional animations may be more suitable than statics. We investigated this argument further by comparing animations with statics using a Lego task shown to university students, by examining three potential moderators of effectiveness: (a) the environment of manipulation (virtual or physical), (b) the quality of visual information (focused or unfocused), and (c) the presence of hands (no hands or with hands). In Experiment 1 we found an advantage of animation over statics, and no differences among the environments. In Experiment 2, we again observed an animation advantage, a small advantage of focused static information compared to unfocused static information, and a positive effect of not showing the hands.     

反凝析现象对雅克拉凝析气处理工艺的影响

雅克拉凝析气田位于塔里木盆地北部，地处新疆维吾尔自治区阿克苏地区境内，它是中国石化集团公司西北分公司探明并投入开发的最大凝析气田，采用衰竭式开采。通过对井口物流的相态研究，认识了凝析气的反凝析规律，采取了提高凝析气中C^＋₃收率的方法，以确保外输干气的烃露点达到管输要求，并提高该气田开发的经济效益。在工艺方案设计过程中，通过多种工艺方案比选，确定选用膨胀机进口压力为6.0 MPa的膨胀机制冷工艺， C^＋₃收率达到92％以上，外输干气烃露点满足管输要求。

单脉冲导引头对多干扰源的角分辨

当多个噪声调频干扰同时进入单脉信号引头主波束内时，导引头对干扰源的角度分辨是非常困难的。本文主要研究了导引头单脉冲接收机对宽带噪声调频干扰源的响应，分析了当单脉冲主波束内存在多个噪声调频干扰源时，导引头指向角的跟踪规律，并重点讨论了一种用聚类来提取角信息的方法，最后仿真证实了该方法的正确性和有效性。

Evolutionary algorithms and de novo peptide design

One of the goals of computational chemistry is the automated de novo design of bioactive molecules. Despite significant progress in computational approaches to ligand design and efficient evaluation of binding energy, novel procedures for ligand design are required. Evolutionary computation provides a new approach to this design issue. This paper presents an automated methodology for computer-aided peptide design based on evolutionary algorithms. It provides an automatic tool for peptide de novo design, based on protein surface patches defined by user. Regarding the restrictive constrains of this problem a special emphasis has been made on the design of the evolutionary algorithms implemented.

Original Finger Image Extraction by Morphological Technique and Finger Image Comparisons for Persons' Identification

This research uses the object extracting technique to extract the index, middle and ring fingers from the hand images. The algorithm developed in this research can find the precise locations of the different fingers' fingertips and the finger-to-finger-valleys. After finding the positions of the fingertips and finger-valleys, the index, middle and ring fingers can be extracted from the hand images by using morphological technique. The extracted index, middle and ring fingers contain many useful geometry features. One can use these features to do the person's identification. The orientations of the index, middle and ring fingers are found in this research. Image rotating, image shifting, and image interpolating techniques are used to align different persons' index, middle and ring fingers. Image subtraction is used to exam the difference of two index, middle and ring finger images. In this research so far only use the index, middle and the ring fingers as the features to identify different persons. ^★This work was supported by National Science Council under grant NSC 93-2213-E-212-011.
