Analyzing the efficacy of using digital ink devices in a learning environment

There has been increased interest on the impact of mobile devices such as PDAs and Tablet PCs in introducing new pedagogical approaches and active learning experiences. We propose an intelligent system that efficiently addresses the inherent subjectivity in student perception of note taking and information retrieval. We employ the idea of cross indexing the digital ink notes with matching electronic documents in the repository. Latent Semantic Indexing is used to perform document and page level indexing. Thus for each retrieved document, the user can go over to the relevant pages that match the query. Techniques to handle problems such as polysemy (multiple meanings of a word) in large databases, document folding and no match for query are discussed. We tested our system for its performance, usability and effectiveness in the learning process. The results from the exploratory studies reveal that the proposed system provides a highly enhanced student learning experience, thereby facilitating high test scores.

Convergence analysis of geometrical multigrid methods for solving data-sparse boundary element equations

The convergence analysis of multigrid methods for boundary element equations arising from negative-order pseudo-differential operators is quite different from the usual finite element multigrid analysis for elliptic partial differential equations. In this paper, we study the convergence of geometrical multigrid methods for solving large-scale, data-sparse boundary element equations. In particular, we investigate multigrid methods for \(\mathcal{H}\)-matrices arising from the adaptive cross approximation to the single layer potential operator.

A Low‐Memory,Straightforward and Fast Bilateral Filter Through Subsampling in Spatial Domain

In this work we present a new algorithm for accelerating the colour bilateral filter based on a subsampling strategy working in the spatial domain. The base idea is to use a suitable subset of samples of the entire kernel in order to obtain a good estimation of the exact filter values. The main advantages of the proposed approach are that it has an excellent trade‐off between visual quality and speed‐up, a very low memory overhead is required and it is straightforward to implement on the GPU allowing real‐time filtering. We show different applications of the proposed filter, in particular efficient cross‐bilateral filtering, real‐time edge‐aware image editing and fast video denoising. We compare our method against the state of the art in terms of image quality, time performance and memory usage.     

基于可变Cookie的跨域单点登录

针对单点登录中的跨域身份认证问题,提出了一种基于可变Cookie的方案解决跨域单点登录,使用随机数字生成票据,并作为传统加密算法的会话密钥对客户端的Cookie进行加密,采用现代加密算法在异域系统之间安全传递票据,每次认证产生新的票据并更新异域应用系统的Cookie。通过对票据产生和传输以及Cookie加密和常见攻击的安全性分析,可以实现跨域单点登录的功能并保证身份认证安全可信。     

一种雷达目标的动态雷达散射截面模拟

为了能够掌握动态目标的飞行特性,提出了一种模拟目标动态雷达散射截面(RCS)的方法。该方法根据雷达目标航迹相关数据,结合测量坐标系和目标坐标系转换原理,采用多层快速多极子算法,仿真建立了目标静态下的RCS数据库。同时,通过编程实现了目标动态RCS模拟程序,并通过分析得到动态目标RCS曲线。该结果表明,雷达目标的动态RCS模拟对掌握目标的飞行特性起到了一定的作用。该方法可以代替RCS实际测量过程,具有实现简单、操作性好等优点。     

6-羧基壳聚糖凝胶珠及其吸附尿毒症低分子毒物研究

用NO2将壳聚糖6位羟甲基氧化成羧基,再以戊二醛作交联剂制备了具有较高强度的6羧基壳聚糖凝胶珠。SEM观察确认凝胶珠表面均匀分布许多“沟槽”。凝胶珠对尿毒症低分子毒物尿酸、马尿酸和肌酐的吸附量分别为2.61、1.5和0.81mg/g;几乎不吸附牛血清蛋白、尿素、肌酸。富含低分子毒物的血清经凝胶珠吸附后,其尿酸和马尿酸的含量可接近人体液正常值。     

Injury risk among children of low-income U.S.-born and immigrant mothers.

The number of immigrants in the United States is at an all time high, yet psychologists have largely ignored the domain of immigrant health. This article considers 1 aspect of immigrant health, risk for pediatric injury. A sample of over 5,000 5-year-old children from impoverished families was studied; approximately 13% had immigrant mothers. Children of immigrants had a significantly lower rate of injury in the prior year. This was particularly true of non-White children of immigrants. Three possible mediators for this finding--assistance with parenting, parenting style, and health care accessibility--were considered, but none explained the difference. The need for further research on the topic and implications of results for injury prevention are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Auditory-visual cross-modal perception of communicative stimuli in Tufted Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus apella).

Research on cross-modal performance in nonhuman primates is limited to a small number of sensory modalities and testing methods. To broaden the scope of this research, the authors tested capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella) for a seldom-studied cross-modal capacity in nonhuman primates, auditory-visual recognition. Monkeys were simultaneously played 2 video recordings of a face producing different vocalizations and a sound recording of 1 of the vocalizations. Stimulus sets varied from naturally occurring conspecific vocalizations to experimentally controlled human speech stimuli. The authors found that monkeys preferred to view face recordings that matched presented vocal stimuli. Their preference did not differ significantly across stimulus species or other stimulus features. However, the reliability of the latter set of results may have been limited by sample size. From these results, the authors concluded that capuchin monkeys exhibit auditory-visual cross-modal perception of conspecific vocalizations.
