An integrated approach to biology

Zoology, being a basic bioscience, is essential for a better understanding of applied biological disciplines. A sound background in zoology can often be the key to success in modern day cutting-edge biological research. Students of zoology have many more interesting questions to ask now than ever before. Precisely when did humans take to clothing? How is losing body hair actually correlated to body louse speciation? What is so unique about a schistosome that enables it to parasitize two very different host species, to have a free living stage and show a broad range of host specificity in one life cycle? Genomics has already helped us to get the molecular expression profiles of many organisms. But to understand how all the information obtained at the molecular level fits into the scheme of things, we need a sound foundation in zoology. It is all the more fun studying zoology now with so many interesting questions to ask and ideas to explore.

An integrated approach utilizing proteomics and bioinformatics to detect ovarian cancer

INTRODUCTION Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologicmalignancy. Poor survival rates are mainly attribut-able to late diagnosis. Most patients at diagnosis haveadvanced stage disease. The 5-year survival rate forlate clinical stage ovarian cancer is only 25%, but forearly stage disease, the survival rate can be as high as90%. CA125, the most widely used biomarker forovarian cancer, does not have a satisfying positivepredictive value. In early stage ovarian cancer,40%–50% pati…     

An integrated approach to develop professional and technical skills for informatics engineering students

Many of the current approaches used in teaching and learning in engineering education are not the most appropriate to prepare students for the challenges they will face in their professional careers. The active involvement of students in their learning process facilitates the development of the technical and professional competencies they need as professionals. This article describes the organisation and impact of a mini-conference and project work – the creation of a software product and its introduction in the market – aimed at the development of professional competencies in general and writing skills in particular. The course was evaluated by assessing the students’ perception of the development of a number of professional competencies through a questionnaire completed by 125 students from two consecutive year groups. The results indicate that the project work and the mini-conference had a positive impact on students’ perceptions of the development of professional competencies.     

An integrated cognitive computing approach for systematic conceptual design

Conceptual design plays an important role in product life cycle, which requires engineers to use sound design theory, cross-disciplinary knowledge, and complex technical support to acquire design concepts. However, the lack of sufficient computational tools makes it difficult for designers to fully explore in the wide design solution spaces. Therefore, this paper proposes an integrated cognitive computing approach to formalize the cognitive activities of conceptual design. A cognitive computing model composed of concept associative memory, concept generation, and decision-making process is established based on the integration of cognitive psychology and engineering design. First of all, the Hopfield neural network is used to acquire similar concept solutions for specific subfunctions from a knowledge base. Then, morphological matrix and genetic algorithm are introduced to produce a set of feasible candidate solutions in the concept generation process. Furthermore, a technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution is applied to evaluate the generated concept solutions and obtain the optimal solution automatically. Finally, a case study is given to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach.     

试论危机管理中的秘书工作

秘书工作是一个复杂的工作,他的工作内容比较琐碎,涉及到企业的各个方面,凡是与企业有关的一切,好像秘书的工作都可以与之相关。秘书工作是协助企业领导做好服务工作,保证企业业务的正常运转。当企业发生危机时,秘书的工作就显得更加重要。因此,秘书人员一定要注意提高自己的危机处理能力,当有危机发生时,能快速、有条不紊的协助企业领导做好危机处理工作[1]。随着经济的发展,对秘书的危机处理能力要求越来越高,秘书的工作效率对企业的利益、领导的工作效率具有重要的影响。     

Computer lab usage in the elementary program: An integrated approach

Conclusion The integration at Makefield and Manor Elementary Schools of the microcompuer with the elementary curriculum has increased student achievement and teacher comfort with her new technology. Our programs are still being refined as an outgrowth of these efforts and our on-going self-assessment.     

Adaptive XML to relational mapping： an integrated approach

Storing and querying XML （eXtensible Markup Language） data in relational form can exploit various services offered by modern relational database management systems （RDBMSs）. Due to structural complexity of XML, there are many equivalent relational mapping schemes for the same XML data and queries. In this paper, we propose the adaptive XML to relational mapping （AX2RM） system, which considers finding optimal XML to relational （X2R） mapping as four separate but correlated procedures： logical database design, data scale estimation, workload transformation, and physical database design. We view the whole process as an autonomic computing problem and formalize the adaptive X2R mapping problem. Search spaces for each procedure are investigated individually, and five approaches for finding the optimal mapping are studied. We propose an integrated approach with greedy pruning （IT-GP）, which views the mapping procedures as a whole and exploits heuristic rules in each procedure to prune impossible mappings as early as possible. Evaluation of these approaches shows the validity and high efficiency of IT-GP.     

论高校图书馆的危机管理

随着高校的快速发展．高校图书馆面临前所未有的发展危机,危机管理已经成为图书馆管理的重要内容之一。图书馆危机管理主要体现在突发性危机管理和潜在性危机管理两个方面。图书馆危机管理的精髓在于防范胜于处置．因此危机管理的根本在于日常预防和危机处理预案的管理。

危机管理视野下的校园安全问题探讨

校园安全问题越来越为社会各界所关注。各级各类学校必须把握危机管理主要环节,以人为本,建设校园安全文化：健全危机管理组织机构,明确管理职责;捕捉危机信息,建立健全校园危机预防机制;及时处理校园危机事件等等有效的校园危机管理策略,保护好全校师生员工的生命财产安全。     

论公共危机处理中的政府形象塑造

危机自始自终伴随着人类社会的发展,公共危机事件是一把双刃剑,处理得好,得民心,处理不好,失民心,关键取决于政府的态度和执政能力.处在公共危机中的政府,其形象面临着巨大的考验,公共危机处理对政府形象的影响主要有正面影响和负面影响.在公共危机处理中塑造政府形象是化解公共危机的需要,可以降低政府在处理公共危机中对自身造成的损害,还可以扭转政府不良形象.在公共危机处理中塑造政府良好的形象需要采取切实可行的策略,有“SMART”策略、以人为本策略、公关宣传策略、瓦解敌意策略.     

Play behavior of hearing impaired children: integrated and segregated settings

The free-play behavior of young hearing impaired children in integrated and segregated settings was compared using a multielement baseline design. Two children, aged 3 and 5, were observed using momentary time sampling of their play as they alternated from one setting to the other. Data were collected in ech setting for various categories of play behavior. The categories were derived from the classic play categories of Parten and Smilansky. Results indicate that the children engaged in more socially advanced play in the integrated setting.

The social adjustment of deaf adolescents in segregated parially integrated and mainstreamed settings

This study examined the social adjustment of deaf adolescents enrolled in segregated (&egr; = 39), partially integrated (&egr; = 15), and mainstreamed (&egr; = 17) settings, comparing them with a control group of hearing students (&egr; = 88). Segregated students showed the lowest levels of adjustment overall. Partially integrated students reported better adjustment overall. Partially integrated students reported better adjustment than mainstreamed students with deaf peers; mainstreamed students reported better adjustment than partially integrated students with hearing peers, showing the same levels of adjustment with hearing peers as hearing students. Regardless of placement, deaf students reported better or equal adjustment with deaf than with hearing peers. Social adjustment with deaf peers was related to American Sign Language (ASL) skill and adjustment with hearing peers to spoken English. These findings suggest tht deaf students can benefit from both segregated and integrated placements as complememtary forms of social experience that each contribute to overal adjustment.
