Ng Seok Mot 《Asia Pacific Journal of Education》1984,6(1):7-13

Even a proficient mature reader occasionally has problems with reading. Try reading this sentence.

“that that is is not that that is not is that it is” Even when appropriate punctuation is provided to facilitate the apprehension of the linguistic structure of this sentence, its meaning is not easily evident.  相似文献   

香港科技大学土工离心机先进模拟技术在岩土工程中的应用(英文)   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

Charles W.W.NG 《浙江大学学报(A卷英文版)》2014,15(1):1-21

研究目的:采用香港科技大学的先进土工离心模拟技术来研究和解决复杂的岩土工程问题。创新要点:1.验证竖向钻孔开挖技术(应力释放)对建筑纠偏的有效性;2.研究隧道坍塌对其邻近既有隧道的影响;3.研究基坑开挖对坑中既有桩基承载力的影响;4.揭示不同颗粒级配形成的土坡在水位上升和动力荷载作用下的破坏模式。研究方法:1.用香港科技大学全球首台离心机中的双向震动台(见图5)模拟地震荷载对土坡的影响;2.用香港科技大学全球第二台四轴机械手(见图6)模拟不停机情况下的钻孔开挖。重要结论:1.竖向钻孔开挖技术能有效地对建筑物进行纠偏;2.隧道坍塌会对其邻近既有隧道产生很大的附加弯矩,尤其是拱脚处的弯矩可增加多达228%;3.基坑开挖后坑中桩基的承载力取决于桩土接触面的粗糙程度,粗糙的桩-土接触面在剪切过程中倾向于发生剪胀,这会增大桩周围土的水平土压力,从而使桩基承载力增加;4.当水位上升时,颗粒均匀,级配差的松散砂土坡容易发生静态液化;相反地,颗粒级配好的松散砂土坡(风化土)不太可能发生静态液化,而只是发生整体滑动破坏;5.离心机双向震动台实验显示松散的风化岩土坡在0.3g的地震加速度作用下不会发生液化,可以抵御香港地区的地震荷载(0.08g到0.11g)。  相似文献   

Digital storytelling and the nature of knowledge     

Michael Tan  Shu-Shing Lee  David W. L. Hung 《Education and Information Technologies》2014,19(3):623-635

While storytelling pedagogy presents novel perspectives and affordances to educators, a fundamental question that bears attention is the match between storytelling pedagogy and the nature of knowledge. Quite simply, the problem may be posed thus: is storytelling the optimum means for teaching all forms of knowledge? While rather obvious matches occur for knowledge in the social science, humanities, languages and literacy education, would storytelling pedagogy ‘work’ for the natural sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics classrooms? If so, what may be optimum means to integrate storytelling instruction in these latter kinds of classrooms? In this study, we report on the results of an implementation of digital storytelling in a grade five science classroom. Using what we termed the ‘edu-tainment’ approach, we asked students to design a digital story that communicated a scientific concept embedded within the narrative structure—characters within the narrative would experience the effects of the concept, the quality of the story being proxy indicators of students’ understanding of the scientific concept. We propose that this pedagogical strategy presents a strong challenge to discern students’ understanding, and we also discuss the effect of knowledge forms on the success of this pedagogy.  相似文献

Agency in national innovation systems: Institutional entrepreneurship and the professionalization of Taiwanese IT     

Shih-Chang Hung 《Research Policy》2011,40(4):526-538

This paper examines institutional entrepreneurship as a form of internal agency within national innovation systems. In particular, we consider the entrepreneurship of Taiwanese IT firms over 1980-2007 in creating a new professionalized organizational form markedly different from the traditional Taiwanese model of family business. We compare two successful sectors - personal computers and semiconductors - and one failure - hard disk drives. We emphasize how entrepreneurial firms used strategies of framing, aggregating and networking (F.A.N.) to build legitimacy, mobilize local resources and reach out beyond the limitations of their immediate contexts. We discuss how F.A.N. strategies may evolve from ‘introversion’ to ‘extraversion’ and develop implications for policy-makers and further research.  相似文献   

Effects of motion control footwear on running: a systematic review     

Cheung RT  Wong MY  Ng GY 《Journal of sports sciences》2011,29(12):1311-1319

Excessive foot pronation is a risk factor of running injuries and motion control footwear is designed to control foot pronation. With the movement transfer between foot pronation and tibial rotation, motion control footwear may not only be confined to controlling foot pronation. In view of the controversies in the literature on effectiveness of motion control footwear, this paper reviewed the efficacy of motion control footwear functions as reported in the literature. Eligible studies were identified from seven electronic databases. Two independent authors extracted the data and assessed the methodological qualities using the Jadad Scale. A total of 14 quasi randomised controlled trials were included. Even though the included studies were rated as "low quality" according to the Jadad Scale, the data were pooled and analysed. Results revealed that motion control footwear was effective in reducing the amount of foot pronation and the peak vertical impact during landing. There is no evidence that suggests motion control footwear for controlling kinematics of the proximal segments.  相似文献   

幽默的古典存在--读杜说谐     

黄维华 《南京师范大学文学院学报》2005,(4):130-136

中国的传统的文化土壤，培植了中国的传统的幽默。在民族文化的历史坐标上，我们能确定幽默作为一种意识和形式的实际存在，这就是所谓雅谑。当它一开始出现于古代士人的心智活动和语言活动时，它就具备了两个方面的主要功能：情绪导泄功能和讽谏功能。被胡适称之为“老杜的特别风趣”的杜甫的幽默，在其诗中主要体现为遣怀、自嘲、讽刺、谐趣四个方面。这些诗篇，为我们解读中国古典幽默并从而认识其存在特点和价值意义，提供了文本依据。  相似文献

网络教学平台使用的师资培训——香港理工大学的经验   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

吴廷坚 《远程教育杂志》2007,(4)

面授和网上教学有机结合的整合式教学越来越成为高校教育和培训的主要模式.本文旨在介绍和分析香港理工大学教学发展中心(简称EDC)如何通过网上教学平台的功能,与面授教学结合起来,发挥面授教学和网上教学的各自优势,使教师培训更加有效.EDC的实践表明,在大学教师培训课程中,发挥网上教学的优势,能帮助学员弥补由于有限的面授教学产生的师生之间、学员和学员之间互动的不足.在网上学习中,通过互相的学习观摩和观念碰撞,能激发学员的学习兴趣,有效地促进学员之间进行探究性学习,同时,这种集体学习的方法,能促进在职教师之间的友好交往和学术交流.  相似文献
