This letter introduces a new image descriptor named Local Topographic Shape Pattern (LTSP) for texture description by relying on complete shape-based image representation. Firstly, a texture image is decomposed into a tree of shapes, i.e., topographic map, to obtain a multi-scale and contrast-invariant representation. Secondly, the shape of each node in the tree is handled with four shape patterns...
Annotation is a frequently used learning skill. When taking note, the reader only focuses on partial content of a topic or a segment. The note would be non-organized and piecemeal. Therefore, the relationship between topic and annotation would be lost or indirect including the relationship among annotations. Thus, because of the dispersion of annotations, readers would lose the structure of the content...
In order to let students learn authentically, we provide an opportunity for them to learn naturally and apply knowledge by adding authentic learning experience in classrooms. We wanted to know whether integrating embodied interactions in authentic learning can enhance authentic learning experience, and even improve learning performance. In this research, we proposed a near-authentic environment that...
This paper is a pilot study for a combination of school knowledge and board game learning. We designed a digital board game based on textbook materials. And presented them with a set of educational equipment- Digital Learning Playground (DLP). We created a situational interaction learning in classrooms. In this research, the resulted data indicates the students¡¦ motivation, confidence and satisfaction...
College English education has been paid increasing attention since the increased enrollment of university students. They can take systematic English study for about totally two years in order to acquire fundamental skills in listening, speaking, reading,writing and translation. Nevertheless, due to lack of continual use in the follwing two years, not all of the graduates can use English freely at...
This paper explores some mathematics teaching reforms in university. Mathematics is a form of reasoning. Thinking mathematically consists of thinking in a logical manner, formulating and testing conjectures, making sense of things, and forming and justifying judgments, inferences, and conclusions. We investigate factors that contribute to the way in which teachers interpret and adapt some reforms...
A dedicated platform was designed to study the transport and thermodynamic properties of various conductive nanowires (NWs). In this report, a Bi2Te3 nanowire with diameter d ~100 nm fabricated by AAO and chemical electrodeposition technique was carried out. The measured resistivity of the Bi2Te3 nanowires is about 4.3 ????-m, which is similar to the bulk value. The quality of nanowire was characterized...
