Blogs in TEFL： A New Promising Vehicle

Weblogs, or blogs for short, were created as a tool for people to create online journals without the need of any programming experience or knowledge. Although not originally intended for educational purposes, blogs are drawing attention from EFL educators, The paper is intended to provide a definition of a blog, to analyze the features of a blog, to formulate possible ways to use a blog in EFL classes, and to discuss potential advantages and shortcomings of using blog in EFL. In conclusion, blogs are a new promising vehicle of extreme value for teaching of English as a foreign language （TEFL）.     

Tackling the storage problem through genetic algorithms

The capability automated warehouse in of a company to implement an an optimized way might be nowadays a crucial leverage in order to gain competitive advantage to satisfy the demand. The order picking is a warehouse function that needs to deal with the retrieval of articles from their storage locations. Merging several single customer orders into one, a picking order can increase efficiency of warehouse operations. The aim of this paper is to define throughout the use of ad-hoc genetic algorithm （GA） how better a warehouse can be set up. The paper deals with order batching, which has a major effect on efficiency of warehouse operations to avoid wastes of resources in terms of processes and to control possibility of unexpected costs in advance.

Limitations of levels, learning outcomes and qualifications as drivers towards a more knowledge-based society

National （and European） qualifications frameworks, the specification of learning outcomes and grand targets like the Lisbon goals of increasing the supply of graduates in Europe in order to achieve a more knowledge-based society are all predicated upon the idea of moving people through to higher and well-defmed levels of skills, knowledge and understanding. However, the work of researchers, from the UK＇s Teaching and Learning Research Programme （TLRP）, examining work-related learning from a number of perspectives, would suggest that the way to move towards a more knowledge-based society is for as many people as possible, whatever their supposed highest overall ＂level＂ of skills is, to believe that they should develop their skills, knowledge and competence in a number of ways unrelated to their current highest ＂level＂. This means rather than having an essentially binary conception of competence at the heart of the levels, it would be far more beneficial in inducing the frame of mind required of a knowledge-based society to have a developmental view of expertise. Such an approach can address three particular challenges that a ＂levels＂ approach f＇mds difficult to accommodate. First, there is the issue of transfer-there would be an expectation that graduates would be some way from ＂experienced worker standard＂ when they completed their initial training. Secondly, such an approach could provide the conditions in which a commitment to continuous improvement at work could flourish, as most people would believe that they needed to develop in a number of ways （at a range of ＂levels＂） in order to improve their performance. Thirdly, this approach of continuing to expect people to continue to develop a range of skills would offer some protection against the development of ＂skilled incompetence＂ （where organisations and individuals continue to focus upon what they do well without paying due regard to the future）.     

The Research of Translation Countermeasure for the English Guide in Tourist Attractions

With the constant development of Chinese tourism industry,tourism in Chinese economy,accounting for a large proportion.More and more foreign tourists came to China,tour great mountains and rivers,tourist attractions,to understand Chinese national customs.In this way,the community of our translation and foreign-related tourist information guides the work of a higher demand to adapt to Chinese continued integration with the international tourism industry.The translation of tourist attractions in the tourism and cultural presentation plays a very important role.Especially at current time more and more foreign tourists come into China to have a trip.As a result,translation between Chinese and English is vital to this course.Due to the increase of the exchanges between China and the rest of the world,more and more foreign visitors come to China.However,the translation work of our domestic spots hasn’t been done well,and it causes a lot of misunderstanding to the foreign visitors,and influences our international communications.Especially,we will meet a lot of problems of translating the names of scenic spots frequently.Because these name come from different cultures and different countries,it is really hard to translate them properly.     

Applying machine learning approaches to improving the accuracy of breast-tumour diagnosis via fine needle aspiration

Diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer have been improved during the last decade; however, breast cancer is still a leading cause of death among women in the whole world. Early detection and accurate diagnosis of this disease has been demonstrated an approach to long survival of the patients. As an attempt to develop a reliable diagnosing method for breast cancer, we integrated support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbor and probabilistic neural network into a complex machine learning approach to detect malignant breast tumour through a set of indicators consisting of age and ten cellular features of fine-needle aspiration of breast which were ranked according to signal-to-noise ratio to identify determinants distinguishing benign breast tumours from malignant ones. The method turned out to significantly improve the diagnosis, with a sensitivity of 94.04%, a specificity of 97.37%, and an overall accuracy up to 96.24% when SVM was adopted with the sigmoid kernel function under 5-fold cross validation. The results suggest that SVM is a promising methodology to be further developed into a practical adjunct implement to help discerning benign and malignant breast tumours and thus reduce the incidence of misdiagnosis.

The rapid structured literature review as a research strategy

A diversity of sources of literature encompassed by the management disciplines appears to result in a growing need for a systematic methodology to map the territory of management theory. As such, when scoping out a study, structured literature review （SLR） can be considered as a means by which any critical, central literature might be considered. However, there is little guidance, or evidence, of this being undertaken for the purposes of small scale projects such as undergraduate or masters＇ dissertations. This paper reports four case studies of master＇s degree students following management programmes of undertaking a structured literature review （SLR） and the issues and problems they had to encounter during their journey. The findings from the case studies suggest that in terms of time to complete and the volume of output required in terms of word count, Tranfield, et al＇s （2003） approach to SLR＇s, whilst suited to doctoral level research is not appropriate generally when dealing with undergraduate and masters research projects. Therefore, this paper provides accounts of the experiences of four students who undertook SLR for their undergraduate or master＇s degree dissertation. The paper identifies that these students had to deal with a new set of conceptual problems relating to this ＂unorthodox＂ approach to a postgraduate research dissertation in coming to terms with new paradigms of enquiry that are not normally taught as part of a traditional research methods course. This was despite gaining a greater depth of insight into the subject area through a more rigorous and structured manner. The paper presents alternative remedies by way of a rapid structured literature review （RSLR） model. This would appear to be more appropriate to the conducting of small scale literature based research projects when used with undergraduate and master＇s degree students than SLR identified for other research activities.

美好的未来

A branch of psychology called neurolinguisric programming has made an interesting and useful discovery: You can change the way you imagine or remember things without changing what you imagine, and it will change your feelings. For example, if a visual memory makes you sad whenever you think about it, you can make that mental picture smaller and dimmer, and when you do, the memory won't make you as sad. Since you haven't changed the content of the memory, you
