Educational affordances of PDAs: A study of a teacher’s exploration of this technology

This paper reports on a case study of a teacher from a technical education institution who explored the educational affordances of PDA technology over a period of six months. Based on this teacher’s perspectives, the study was designed to inform our own understanding of educational affordances of this new and emerging technology. Understanding of educational affordances is important in the context of planning a suitable intervention to support pedagogically effective integration of PDA technology. The study explicated a set of five affordances of PDA technology: as a multimedia-access tool, connectivity tool, capture tool, representational tool and analytical tool. We call on further research to expand this set into a more comprehensive collage of educational affordances of PDA technology.     

一种并行工程约束分解方法

在并行工程产品开发过程中,往往按照问题的结构特点将较大规模的问题分解成一些子问题,并希望通过求解子问题来获得原问题的解。实际中,分解得到的子问题之间往往不是完全独立的,一般的简单分解方法只能有限地降低求解难度和简化问题规模。如何进一步分解各个子问题间的关系,使各个子问题的设计结果不但满足原问题的总体要求而且还能由此获得优化的总体设计结果是一个重要问题。该文给出了分解的意义,提出了基于约束的优化分解方法。     

Collection and transfusion of blood and blood components in the United States, 1989

A poor response to L-DOPA in addition to parkinsonian, cerebellar, and autonomic signs is commonly regarded as indicative of clinical multiple system atrophy (MSA). We compared the motor response to a single oral administration of 250 mg L-DOPA/25 mg carbidopa in eight MSA patients and eight Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with the "on-off" phenomenon, evaluating L-DOPA peripheral pharmacokinetics. Motor response was consistently good in all PD patients, but only four MSA patients had a (moderate) response. Pharmacokinetic parameters did not differ between the groups. The varying extent of putaminal damage could be responsible for the differing motor response to L-DOPA in MSA patients.     

Rate-dependent premature beats in man

Ventricular premature beats (VPBs) appeared in a patient after pacemaker insertion for complete heart block secondary to acute myocardial infarction. Contrary to expectations, the frequency of VPBs was directly related to the basic pacemaker rate. The VPBs are either reentrant beats or represent VPBs arising from pacemaker cells with "slow-response" characteristics, which have been shown to become more automatic with increasing rates of electrical stimulation. This case documents the phenomenon of rate dependency of VPBs in man and discusses its practical importance.     

Shop-floor scheduling at shipbuilding yards using the multiple intelligent agent system

The intelligent agent system has become a typical approach to research distributed artificial intelligence and distributed problem solving. However, despite its various technical advantages, the distribution and expansion of the intelligent agent system approach has been limited because existing methodologies rely on specialized applications and therefore require intensive investment to develop new systems. In an attempt to conquer these difficulties, a standardized methodology to construct intelligent agent systems is proposed. This approach deviates from current agent system approaches of repeatedly constructing new and customized expert systems. Specifically, it provides an economical method for developing intelligent agent systems by investigating the possibility of standardizing message communication protocols in linguistics speech-act theory and by supplementing traditional algorithmic systems with intelligent segments using, among others, expert system tools. To verify effectiveness, the shop-floor scheduling system of a large-scale shipbuilding yard has been redesigned, developed, and tested using this approach. This shop-floor scheduling system requires the scheduling of when and where to process block construction under various constraints. It is a difficult four-dimensional time and space allocation problem involving traditional NP-complete search spaces. The tested intelligent agent system proposes an innovative method for reducing the search space into three levels: the algorithm level, the agent intelligence level, and the level of cooperation among agents. It also provides methods for solving deadlock occurrence and non-uniformity problems resulting from parallel processing. Test results demonstrate applicability and economy, among other technical advantages.     

Continuous-time optimal robust servo-controller design with internal model principle

The linear quadratic design of an optimal robust servo–controller for a continuous–time control system is described. It introduces a servo–control performance measure which accommodates the internal model principle. The measure selectively discounts penalties on control effort of desirable frequencies and provides complete flexibility in the selection of weighting matrices. The proposed servo–controller uses plant state feedback, signal state feedforward and a servo–compensator for ensuring robust asymptotic command tracking and disturbance rejection. An informal alternate proof of the internal model principle in the state variable domain is presented using an operator-transformation technique. Where necessary, observers are used to complement the servo-controller. The proposed optimal robust servo–controller yields the expected superior performance in terms of response and error minimization. An illustrative example is given.
