大小班结合的多媒体教学模式之实证研究

在从理论上探讨大小班结合的多媒体教学模式可行性的基础上,以三峡大学200名学生为研究对象,对该校一年半来采用该模式的授课效果进行了实证性研究。实验结果表明,大学英语采用大小班结合的多媒体教学模式比传统教学模式更有利于培养学生的综合运用能力,尤其是学生的听说能力。     

Deconvolution with supersmooth distributions

Nonparametric deconvolution problems require one to recover an unknown density when the data are contaminated with errors. Optimal global rates of convergence are found under the weighted L_p-loss (1 ≤ p ≤ ∞). It appears that the optimal rates of convergence are extremely low for supersmooth error distributions. To resolve this difficulty, we examine how high the noise level can be for deconvolution to be feasible, and for the deconvolution estimate to be as good as the ordinary density estimate. It is shown that if the noise level is not too high, nonparametric Gaussian deconvolution can still be practical. Several simulation studies are also presented.     

Missing data and forecasting in multivariate time series: An application of the common components dynamic linear model

Summary The paper deals with missing data and forecasting problems in multivariate time series making use of the Common Components Dynamic Linear Model (DLMCC), presented in Quintana (1985), and West and Harrison (1989). Some results are presented and discussed: exploiting the correlation between series, estimated by the DLMCC, the paper shows as it is possible to update state vector posterior distributions for the unobserved series. This is realized on the base of the updating of the observed series state vectors, for which the usual Kalman filter equations can be applied. An application concerning some Italian private consumption series provides an example of the model capabilities.     

郑玄《尚书》训诂的谶纬化

郑玄是汉学的总结性人物,其《尚书》训诂,是东汉《尚书》学之代表。郑玄《尚书》训诂,融古文、今文、谶纬于一体,是两汉《尚书》学谶纬化范围扩大的最好例证。通过郑玄,我们可以知道,古今文《尚书》学的对立并不妨碍双方对谶纬的吸收,谶纬在郑玄手中变成整合古今文《尚书》学的桥梁。     

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。     

PATTERN RECOGNITION VIA ROBUST SMOOTHING WITH APPLICATION TO LASER DATA

Nowadays airborne laser scanning is used in many territorial studies, providing point data which may contain strong discontinuities. Motivated by the need to interpolate such data and preserve their edges, this paper considers robust nonparametric smoothers. These estimators, when implemented with bounded loss functions, have suitable jump‐preserving properties. Iterative algorithms are developed here, and are equivalent to nonlinear M‐smoothers, but have the advantage of resembling the linear Kernel regression. The selection of their coefficients is carried out by combining cross‐validation and robust‐tuning techniques. Two real case studies and a simulation experiment confirm the validity of the method; in particular, the performance in building recognition is excellent.     

受控核聚变的一种新途径──低能注入式磁盖势阱约束法受控核聚变

提出了磁盖势阱（ＭＬＰＷ）一种静电装置,该装置是在球形静电势阱的外围加上磁盖而构成的,可用于受控核聚变．通过建立磁盖势阱中带电粒子的运动方程并取单粒子谐振子近似以及运用自洽场的统计方法,球形聚变炉内大量带电粒子的集体行为被计算机所研究和模拟．由于使用了电场与磁场的联合约束,与单独的磁约束或惯性约束受控核聚变相比,所需达到的技术指标将有所改善,工程技术上的难度也会有所降低     

加快建设宁波国际远洋集装箱中转枢纽港的发展思路和实施步骤及对策

我国是世界经济增长重心第五次大转移的主要增长极，长江三角洲地区将发展成为世界第六个特大城市带。这都要求把宁波港建设成为上海国际航运中心的远洋集装箱中转枢纽港。实现这个目标的基本思路及时策：沪、甬、舟三港联合起步形成组合港；成立杭州湾大通道开发公司并尽快建成杭州湾大通过；宁波港建成自由港（区）或实行自由港（区）主要政策；港口附近建几个外向型商品市场。     

Likelihood estimation for a general class of inverse exponentiated distributions based on complete and progressively censored data

In this paper, we establish the existence and uniqueness of the maximum-likelihood estimates of the parameters of a general class of inverse exponentiated distributions based on complete as well as progressively Type-I and Type-II censored data.
