健美与健美操联合教学的改革研究

对健美与健美操进行联合教学实验,结果显示:健美实验班与对照班学生在柔韧性、耐力素质及力量素质等方面没有显著差异;健美操实验班学生在上肢力量方面优于对照班,在腹肌力量、下肢力量和总分平均成绩方面不及对照班;在运动兴趣方面健美操实验班学生对健美兴趣较高。实验的目的是为提高体育教学质量提供一种新的教学途径。     

由伊斯兰国家现代化发展道路所引发的思考

本文通过对伊斯兰国家两条不同的现代化发展道路的分析,指出现代化进程中,传统文化尤其是宗教起着重要的作用;现代化是对传统的继承、变革和对西方文明的吸收、借鉴;宗教的世俗化并不意味着宗教的全面衰落。     

Data skeletons: simultaneous estimation of multiple quantiles for massive streaming datasets with applications to density estimation

We consider the problem of density estimation when the data is in the form of a continuous stream with no fixed length. In this setting, implementations of the usual methods of density estimation such as kernel density estimation are problematic. We propose a method of density estimation for massive datasets that is based upon taking the derivative of a smooth curve that has been fit through a set of quantile estimates. To achieve this, a low-storage, single-pass, sequential method is proposed for simultaneous estimation of multiple quantiles for massive datasets that form the basis of this method of density estimation. For comparison, we also consider a sequential kernel density estimator. The proposed methods are shown through simulation study to perform well and to have several distinct advantages over existing methods.     

Constrained allocation problems with single-peaked preferences: An axiomatic analysis

We introduce a new class of problems that contains two existing classes: allocation problems with single-peaked preferences and bankruptcy problems. On this class, we analyze the implications of well-known properties such as Pareto optimality, strategy-proofness, resource-monotonicity, no-envy, equal treatment of equals, and two new properties we introduce, hierarchical no-envy and independence of nonbinding constraints. Unlike earlier literature, we consider rules that allow free-disposability. We present characterizations of a rule we introduce on this domain. We relate this rule to well-known rules on the aforementioned subdomains. Based on this relation, we present a characterization of a well-known bankruptcy rule called the constrained equal awards rule.
