AbstractIn an economic climate when colleges can no longer presume that legislators see institutions of higher learning as tacit public goods, institutions around the country are facing budget cuts. This article presents a case study of the experience of a mid-sized public state university and its Library in a budget crisis undergoing a university-wide program prioritization process. The authors review the process of writing three reports on the Library’s value, along with the approach to engaging staff in the process including a retreat. This article raises questions about what every library should consider assessing and provide tools for libraries navigating similar terrain. 相似文献

Integration of microfluidic devices with pressure-driven, self-powered fluid flow propulsion methods has provided a very effective solution for on-chip, droplet blood testing applications. However, precise understanding of the physical process governing fluid dynamics in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based microfluidic devices remains unclear. Here, we propose a pressure-driven diffusion model using Fick''s law and the ideal gas law, the results of which agree well with the experimental fluid dynamics observed in our vacuum pocket-assisted, self-powered microfluidic devices. Notably, this model enables us to precisely tune the flow rate by adjusting two geometrical parameters of the vacuum pocket. By linking the self-powered fluid flow propulsion method to the sedimentation, we also show that direct plasma separation from a drop of whole blood can be achieved using only a simple construction without the need for external power sources, connectors, or a complex operational procedure. Finally, the potential of the vacuum pocket, along with a removable vacuum battery to be integrated with non-PDMS microfluidic devices to drive and control the fluid flow, is demonstrated. 相似文献

In this paper, we introduce a novel knowledge-based word-sense disambiguation (WSD) system. In particular, the main goal of our research is to find an effective way to filter out unnecessary information by using word similarity. For this, we adopt two methods in our WSD system. First, we propose a novel encoding method for word vector representation by considering the graphical semantic relationships from the lexical knowledge bases, and the word vector representation is utilized to determine the word similarity in our WSD system. Second, we present an effective method for extracting the contextual words from a text for analyzing an ambiguous word based on word similarity. The results demonstrate that the suggested methods significantly enhance the baseline WSD performance in all corpora. In particular, the performance on nouns is similar to those of the state-of-the-art knowledge-based WSD models, and the performance on verbs surpasses that of the existing knowledge-based WSD models. 相似文献

Multi-layer self-organizing polynomial neural networks and their development with the use of genetic algorithms 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

In this paper, we introduce a new architecture of genetic algorithms (GA)-based self-organizing polynomial neural networks (SOPNN) and discuss a comprehensive design methodology. Let us recall that the design of the “conventional” PNNs uses an extended group method of data handling (GMDH) and exploits polynomials (such as linear, quadratic, and modified quadratic functions) as well as considers a fixed number of input nodes (as being selected in advance by a network designer) at polynomial neurons (or nodes) located in each layer. The proposed GA-based SOPNN gives rise to a structurally optimized structure and comes with a substantial level of flexibility in comparison to the one we encounter in conventional PNNs. The design procedure applied in the construction of each layer of a PNN deals with its structural optimization involving the selection of preferred nodes (or PNs) with specific local characteristics (such as the number of input variables, the order of the polynomial, and a collection of the specific subset of input variables) and addresses specific aspects of parametric optimization. An aggregate performance index with a weighting factor is proposed in order to achieve a sound balance between approximation and generalization (predictive) abilities of the network. To evaluate the performance of the GA-based SOPNN, the model is experimented with using chaotic time series data. A comparative analysis reveals that the proposed GA-based SOPNN exhibits higher accuracy and superb predictive capability in comparison to some previous models available in the literature. 相似文献

An efficient method for tracing planar implicit curves 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

INTRODUCTION Tracing a planar implicit curve f(x, y)=0 on a rectangular region [xl, xr]×[yb, yt] is of great interest in Computer-Aided Design and Computer Graphics. While parametric curves are easy to plot, plotting implicit curves is a challenging problem. Planar im- plicit curve plotting method can be classified into two categories (Shou et al., 2005; Martin et al., 2002; Lopes et al., 2002). In the first category are subdivi- sion methods (Shou et al., 2005; Martin et al., 2002) … 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to develop a program to help cultivate divergent thinking in mathematics based on open-ended
problems and to investigate its effect. The participants were 398 seventh grade students attending middle schools in Seoul.
A method of pre- and post-testing was used to measure mainly divergent thinking skills through open-ended problems. The results
indicated that the treatment group students performed better than the comparison students overall on each component of divergent
thinking skills, which includes fluency, flexibility, and originality. The developed program can be a useful resource for
teachers to use in enhancing their students’ creative thinking skills. An open-ended approach in teaching mathematics suggested
in this paper may provide a possible arena for exploring the prospects and possibilities of improving mathematical creativity. 相似文献

Researchers have shown that most students resist changes to their core beliefs by offering auxiliary hypotheses at the first
sign of the development of conceptual change. Studies have viewed student reaction to discrepant events as an important clue
in helping researchers understand not only the structure of alternative concepts (Niaz, Science & Education, 7(2):107 – 127, 1998) but also the nature of scientific concepts. The main objectives of this research were the following: (a) to consider prudently
the conflict map of Tsai (International Journal of Science Education, 22(3):285 – 302, 2000); (b) to initiate and develop an enhanced conflict map based on Lakatosian ethodology, which could help science teachers
and students resolve conflicts that occur in the explanation of natural phenomena; (c) to examine the effectiveness of the
enhanced conflict map; and (d) to discuss these implications in science education. Specifically, this study used two freshman
classes from the Department of Electronics and one class of Astronomy majors from C. National University, South Korea, to
investigate how scientific concepts change after selecting the modern physics field (Photoelectric effect), which is included
in the Physics and Astronomy courses. Modern physics has led to the so-called Lakatosian heuristic principle or methodology,
a useful framework that includes scientific philosophy and science history as study strategies. “Enhanced conflict maps” are
suggested for use to consistently show all the study processes. 相似文献

This study reports a droplet-based microfluidic device for on-demand electrostatic droplet charging and sorting. This device combines two independent modules: one is a hydrodynamic flow focusing structure to generate water-in-oil droplets, and the other is the two paired-electrodes for charging and sorting of the droplets. Depending on the polarity on charging electrodes, water-in-oil droplets can be electrostatically charged positively or negatively, followed by automatic real-time electric sorting. This approach will be useful when preformed droplets, with a positive, a negative, or with no charge, need to be manipulated for further on-chip droplet manipulation. 相似文献
