实现外语教学课程改革,需要从课堂教学入手,分析外语教学中出现的实际问题并考量应对方案。为此,结合实例初步归纳出新课改实用外语教学法的基本特征,即:课堂内容生动化,教学方法多样化,互动合作的课堂表现形式。     

数字图像多重水印及容量分析

利用CDMA系统多址复用的特点,提出了一种基于CDMA的多重水印算法,在小波变换域中同时嵌入多个水印。对多个原始水印进行卷积编码和交织编码后,采用Gold码组进行正交扩频,经CDMA编码的水印信息被叠加嵌入在除HH1以外的其他小波子带中。水印嵌入的幅值根据Watson小波域视觉感知模型确定。嵌入位置取决于一个PN序列随机发生器,检测时不需要原始图像。在此基础上对多重水印容量进行了分析,结果表明当嵌入两个水印时,其容量大于任何一个单一水印的容量,但小于两个单一水印容量之和。

介绍了LDPC校验阵的构造及编译码算法,采用了随机法构造LDPC校验阵,编码基于高斯消去直接进行译码采用无穷阶量化时的置信传播算法;讨论了OFDM自适应加载技术与多输入多输出技术,结合自适应比特功率分配算法与基于多载波调制的比特分配方案实现了该加载分配技术;给出了LDPC编码的自适应加载MIMO-OFDM系统的模型。经仿真分析得出,二元域上非规则LDPC编码的系统性能优于多元域上的,自适应加载MIMO-OFDM技术大大提高了系统传输速率,有效增强了系统抗衰落性。     

The Making of Multiple Personality Disorder: A Social Constructionist View

This article explores the social construction of multiple personality disorder by analyzing professional agreements about the nature of the diagnosis, while locating these within their historical and cultural context. First, a historical review of the disorder traces various overlapping streams of discourse that have shaped the construction of the diagnosis. This is followed by a cross-cultural comparison of MPD and dissociative phenomena in several non-Western societies. The article concludes with some reflections on the cultural meanings of MPD in contemporary America.     

级别不低于方法及其发展评述

级别不低于方法是一类解决多属性决策问题的重要方法.相对于其他方法力图建立可行方案集上的完全序.级别不低于方法所构建的是一种较弱的二元关系--级别不低于关系,它所要求的条件较弱,而得到的结果更为可靠.是近年来研究最为活跃、应用十分广泛的方法之一.本文将级别不低于方法划分为ELECTRE、PROMETHEE和PCCA等三大类分别进行了归纳和总结;介绍了近年来级别不低于方法的新发展,对级别不低于方法的公理化.不确定信息下的级别不低于方法以及多属性决策的敏感性分析和鲁棒性分析等问题给出了一些有意义的讨论.特别是对鲁棒性的定义和分析方法提出了一务切实可行的思路.     

A Parallel between Regret Theory and Outranking Methods for Multicriteria Decision Making Under Imprecise Information

Incorporation of the behavioral issues of the decision maker (DM) is among the aspects that each Multicriteria Decision Making (MCDM) method implicitly or explicitly takes into account. As postulated by regret theory, the feelings of regret and rejoice are among the behavioral issues associated with the entire decision making process. Within the context of MCDM, the DM may feel regret, when the chosen alternative is compared with another one having at least one better criterion value. PROMETHEE II is a widely known MCDM method that makes no explicit incorporation of regret attitude of the DM. In this paper, we elaborate on the applicability of regret theory to MCDM context. In particular, we investigate the findings of regret theory and explore the parallel between regret theory and PROMETHEE II method. Relying on the concepts of regret theory, we demonstrate how a decision that is made using a PROMETHEE II based outranking method conforms to the regret attitude of the DM.

Investment in Shared Suppliers: Effect of Learning,Spillover, and Competition

We investigate the optimal strategies for firms to invest in their suppliers when the benefits of such investments can spillover to other firms who also source from the same suppliers. We consider two Bayesian firms that can invest in improving the quality of their shared supplier; the firms do not have complete information on the true quality of the supplier, but they update their beliefs based on the supplier's performance. We formulate the problem as an investment game and obtain Markov perfect equilibria characterized by the investment thresholds of both firms. The equilibrium investment strategies of the two firms are characterized by a region of preemption and a region of war of attrition. We also examine how the interplay between spillover, competition, and returns from the investment at shared suppliers affect the investment threshold and the time to the leader's investment, and identify the conditions under which competition delays or hastens the first investment in a shared supplier.     

Sovereignty at What Scale? An Inquiry into Multiple Dimensions of Food Sovereignty

Abstract

Food sovereignty has struggled to make inroads into changing the structures and processes underlying the corporate food regime. One reason is that scale is still underspecified in the politics, strategies, and theories of food sovereignty. We suggest that much can be learned from examining the multiple dimensions of scale inherent in ongoing food sovereignty struggles. A gap exists between these in vivo experiments and the maturing academic theory of scale. The concept of ‘sovereignty’ can be opened up to reveal that movements, peoples, and communities, for example, are creating multiple sovereignties and are exercising sovereignty in more relational ways. Relational scale can aid movements and scholars to map and evaluate how spatial and temporal processes at and among various levels work to reinforce dominant agri-food systems but could also be reconfigured to support progressive alternatives. Finally, we apply relational scale to suggest practical strategies for realizing food sovereignty, using examples from the Potato Park in the Peruvian Andes.     

Translating the Politics of Food Sovereignty: Digging into Contradictions,Uncovering New Dimensions

Abstract

Food sovereignty, as a movement and a set of ideas, is coming of age. Rooted in resistance to free trade and the globalizing force of neoliberalism, the concept has inspired collective action across the world. We examine what has changed since food sovereignty first emerged on the international scene and reflect on insight from new terrain where the movement has expanded. We argue that to advance the theory and practice of food sovereignty, new frameworks and analytical methods are needed to move beyond binaries—between urban and rural, gender equality and the family farm, trade and localism, and autonomy and engagement with the state. A research agenda in food sovereignty must not shy away from the rising contradictions in and challenges to the movement. The places of seeming contradiction may in fact be where the greatest insights are to be found. We suggest that by taking a relational perspective, scholars can begin to draw insight into the challenges and sticking points of food sovereignty by training their lens on shifts in the global food regime, on the efforts to construct sovereignty at multiple scales, and on the points of translation where food sovereignty is articulated through historical memory, identity, and everyday life.
