Maximizing learning without sacrificing the fun: Stealth assessment,adaptivity and learning supports in educational games

In this study, we investigated the validity of a stealth assessment of physics understanding in an educational game, as well as the effectiveness of different game-level delivery methods and various in-game supports on learning. Using a game called Physics Playground, we randomly assigned 263 ninth- to eleventh-grade students into four groups: adaptive, linear, free choice and no-treatment control. Each condition had access to the same in-game learning supports during gameplay. Results showed that: (a) the stealth assessment estimates of physics understanding were valid—significantly correlating with the external physics test scores; (b) there was no significant effect of game-level delivery method on students' learning; and (c) physics animations were the most effective (among eight supports tested) in predicting both learning outcome and in-game performance (e.g. number of game levels solved). We included student enjoyment, gender and ethnicity in our analyses as moderators to further investigate the research questions.     

基于SPOT-5多光谱影像的矿区塌塘水体提取方法研究

针对基于遥感影像的水体提取方法存在水体提取不完整和误提的现象,提出了一种基于SPOT-5多光谱影像的矿区塌塘水体提取方法。在利用波段合成增加一个可用波段的基础上对已有的水体提取方法进行适当的改进,并基于决策树分类器和改进后的方法进行矿区水体的四级提取,保证了水体提取的完整性,同时减少了误提率;最后利用实测数据对水体提取的精度进行了评定。试验结果表明,基于决策树分类器的水体提取方法具有较高的精度,能满足矿区实际应用的需要。     

一种基于网络安全风险评估的入侵检测方法

针对传统的入侵检测系统存在报警数量大、误报率高等缺陷,提出了一种基于网络安全风险评估的入侵检测方法,该方法基于入侵检测结果,引入抗体浓度随入侵强度动态变化这一人工免疫理论的最新研究成果进行网络安全风险的计算,然后根据当前网络面临的实时安全风险动态设置报警策略。实验结果表明,该方法能够实时、定量地计算主机和网络所面临的风险,并极大地降低报警数量和误报率。     

一种基于灰色关联分析的信息安全风险评估方法研究

随着信息化进程的快速发展,保障信息系统的安全性和降低信息系统潜在的风险,一直是国内外学者关注的焦点,而风险评估正是解决该问题的有效方法之一,但是在风险评估过程中存在评估指标难以量化、风险值难以界定等困难,因此文章提出了一种基于灰色关联分析的信息安全风险评估方法,该方法首先建立了信息系统的风险评估指标体系,其次将评估的信息系统与最优信息系统进行关联度分析,最后得出信息系统风险的准确度量。该方法可以使信息系统的评估过程简单化,标准化。     

Evaluation of contrast metrics for liquid‐crystal displays under different viewing conditions

Abstract— A psychophysical experiment was carried out to assess the perceptual contrast on a large‐sized liquid‐crystal display (LCD) under nine phases of viewing conditions. Based on the results, six contrast models employing different color attributes or the index of just‐noticeable difference (JND) were developed. Their performances were also tested by the visual data of the nine phases, which indicated that the model C_Q employing CIECAM02 brightness gives the best performance in predicting visual data under different viewing conditions among those models. A preprocessing step was also proposed to utilize the contrast model C_Q conveniently in the practical contrast evaluation of LCDs.     

Human error identification in human reliability assessment. Part 2: Detailed comparison of techniques

This is the second part of a two-part review of human error identification (HEI) approaches in human reliability assessment (HRA). Part 1 reviewed the probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) context in which HRA occurs, and then detailed 12 HEI techniques which have evolved in the field of HRA. Part 2 attempts to compare the way these techniques perform against a range of criteria relevant to HEI theoretical and empirical validity, and practical usefulness in applied HRA. It is hoped that these comparisons will help assessors in the selection of techniques for practical applications. The comparisons also point to research and development needs in the area of applied HEI.     

On the fit of models to covariances and methodology to the Bulletin..

Notes that 7 of the 10 top-cited articles in the Psychological Bulletin deal with methodological topics. One of these is the P. M. Bentler and D. G. Bonett (1980) article on the assessment of fit in covariance structure models. Some context is provided on the popularity of this article. In addition, a citation study of methodology articles appearing in the Bulletin since 1978 was carried out. It verified that publications in design, evaluation, measurement, and statistics continue to be important to psychological research. Some thoughts are offered on the role of the journal in making developments in these areas more accessible to psychologists. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)

雷达模拟器目标威胁度评估方法研究

研究雷达模拟器目标威胁度的准确评估问题,是辅助操作手对空中目标进行打击的重要依据.威胁度普通雷达是难以探测的.由于目标的速度、距离等随机性强,具体数据难以确定.针对威胁度评估问题,多限于权重分析、聚类分析等方法,对难以确定的参数有较大依赖.为解决上述问题,提出应用效能指数的方法来确定未知目标对雷达阵地的威胁度,根据雷达能够获取的数据,得出判断矩阵,实现对雷达所测数据的分析,并评估目标的威胁度.上述方法可用于雷达模拟器,能够灵活地根据情况调整威胁度评估方法.实验结果表明,方法能够较好地在某些属性未知的情况下,可对目标威胁度进行准确评估,证明改进方法为威胁度评估提供了有效依据.
