Practice characteristics that lead to 21st century learning outcomes

Abstract The key research question for this study was to ask whether or not innovative teaching practices would lead to the development of learning outcomes essential for preparing the younger generation for the challenges of life in the knowledge society of the 21st century, and if so, how are the pedagogical features related to the different learning outcomes. Preliminary analyses of the case study data collected from the SITES M2 Study in Hong Kong reveal that where the development of more significant learning gains were observed, the cases possess characteristics additional to the criteria defined in the Study for selection of innovation. More importantly, it was found that the impact of the pedagogical practices was not determined simply by the aggregation of characteristics of the practices per se , nor on the technologies used, but on whether 'empowerment' permeates the curriculum goal and process. Further, this paper claims that these affective and socio-cognitive learning outcomes are more important as preparation for lifelong learning in the 21st century than 'knowledge management competencies'.     

Analogue implementation of a neural network controller for UPSinverter applications

An analogue neural-network controller for UPS inverter applications is presented. The proposed neural-network controller is trained off-line using patterns obtained from a simulated controller, which had an idealized load-current-reference. Simulation results show that the proposed neural-network controller can achieve low total harmonic distortion under nonlinear loading condition and good dynamic responses under transient loading condition. To verify the performance of the proposed NN controller, a hardware inverter with an analogue neural network (NN) controller (using mainly operational amplifiers and resistors) is built. Additionally, for comparison purposes, a PI controller with optimized parameters is built. Experimental results confirm the simulation results and show the superior performance of the NN controller especially under rectifier-type loading condition. Implementing the analogue neural-network controller using programmable integrated circuits is also discussed     

Rapid Prototyping and Tooling of Custom-Made Tracheobronchial Stents

Rapid prototyping (RP) and rapid tooling (RT) techniques can be applied to the field of medicine primarily because of their ability to produce customised profiles and geometries in relatively short lead times. In this paper, the process by which these techniques can be applied for the production of customised tracheobronchial stents for the purpose of maintaining patency in an occluded respiratory tract is described. A comparison of RP systems was carried out to establish the preferred RP method to produce the master model. The vacuum casting RT process was then used to produce the stent.     

A new method of preform design in hot forging by using electric field theory

The preform design in metal forging plays a key role in improving product quality, such as ensuring defect-free property and proper metal flow. In industry, preforms are generally designed by the iterative trial-and-error approach. This approach, however, leads not only to the increase of significant tool cost but also to the extended down-time of the production equipment. It is thus necessary to reduce time and man power through an effective method of preform design. In this paper, the equi-potential lines designed in the electric field are introduced to find an appropriate preform shape. The equi-potential lines generated between two conductors of different voltages show similar trends for the minimum work paths between the undeformed shape and the deformed shape. Based on this similarity, the equi-potential lines obtained by the arrangement of the initial and final shapes are utilized for the design of the preform, and then the artificial neural network is used to find the range of initial volume and potential value of the electric field.     

克拉玛依原油中各组分的乳化性质

用沉淀法和色谱分离法将克拉玛依原油分离成沥青质，极性物和抽余油三组分，红外光谱分析表明，沥青质和极性物中存在一些含氧官能团的羧酸类或酚类以及含氮化合物，而抽余油则主要为烃类物质，因而沥青质和极性物的界面活性大于抽余油，沥青质具有较强的油包水（W／O）乳化能力，是造成克拉玛依原油W／O乳化的主要组分，极性物具有较强的水包油（O／W）乳化能力，是造成克拉玛依原油O／W乳化的主要组分，抽余油的乳化能力很弱。     

Electromagnetic interference mitigation by using a spread-spectrumapproach

We investigate a new technique, referred to as spread-spectrum clock generation (SSCG), for reducing the level of radiated emission from devices with digital clock signals. To calculate the radiated emissions from such devices, we model the radiating geometry and compute the radiated field at a multitude of frequencies by using NEC-4, which is an electromagnetic field solver based on the method of moments (MoM). We consider a variety of modulating profiles for the spread spectrum clock and demonstrate that by using a frequency deviation of only 1%, we can achieve from 10 to 30 dB reduction in the radiated emission levels     

Dynamic sectorization of microcells for balanced traffic in CDMA:genetic algorithms approach

With the increase of cellular users, traffic hot spots and unbalanced call distributions are common in wireless networks. As a solution to this problem, code-division multiple-access techniques enable a base transceiver station to connect microcells with optical fibers and to control the channels by sectorizing the microcells. To solve the load balancing among microcells, we dynamically sectorize the microcells depending on the time-varying traffic. The microcell sectorization problem is formulated as an integer linear programming that minimizes the blocked and handoff calls in the network. In the proposed sectorization, proper, connected, and compact sectors are considered to keep the handoffs as small as possible while satisfying the channel capacity at each sector. Three genetic algorithms (GAs) are proposed to solve the problem: standard GA, grouping GA, and parallel GA. Computational results show that the proposed GAs are highly effective. All three GAs illustrate outstanding performance for small size problems. The parallel GA, which is based on the operators used in grouping GA, demonstrates excellent solution quality in a reasonable time

Rate-driven key frame selection using temporal variation of visualcontent

A simple and fast method to select the assigned number of key frames in a video shot is presented. The algorithm selects the key frames so that the temporal variation of visual content within a video shot is equally distributed to each key frame. Simulation results on a real video sequence are shown to be in agreement with the human visual perception
