新型结构描述法用于芳烃类化合物水溶性（-lgS_w）模拟

为探寻芳烃类有机物结构与水溶性的关系,从分子的三维空间结构出发,按照不同类型原子之间电性作用得到一种分子结构描述方法,即三维分子电性距离矢量（3D-MEDV）;利用该矢量对34种芳烃类化合物进行结构表征.通过逐步回归方法建立了4变量定量结构—性质关系的-lgSw模型,复相关系数（R）为0.945,标准误差（SD）为0.468.再用留一法（Leave-one-out,LOO）交互检验对模型进行了评价,得到的复相关系数（RCV）为0.908,标准误差（SDCV）为0.598.结果表明：3D-MEDV能较好地表征芳烃类化合物的分子结构,所建模型具有较好的稳定性和预测能力.

High-altitude cirrus clouds and climate

Conclusion Cirrus clouds can have a profound impact on climate. This has lead to many major programs such as International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP), First International satellite cloud climatology project Regional Experiment (FIRE), Experimental Cloud Lidar Pilot Study (ECLIPS), and International Cloud Experiment (ICE) over the last decade. Observations of cirrus properties and ice content are proposed in new satellite missions such as CLOUDSAT.     

Educational research at the crossroads? An exercise in self-criticism

Reforming American Schooling

Within the educational field, measurements such as the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), and the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) suggest we are living in a time of competition. This article takes a critical view of the modern drive to measure, evaluate, and rank programs within the educational field. Using Ken Wilber's epistemological quadrant-model, I analyze the question, “What is a good school?”

What is international about International Schools? An institutional legitimacy perspective

In recent years, the number of International Schools around the world has increased rapidly largely as a result of growth of new forms of International Schools, which differ markedly from the traditional forms. These new forms: are often operated on a for-profit commercial basis; are usually for children from the local (indigenous), wealthy population; and have been defined as International Schools because they are located in a non-English speaking country and English is the school’s medium of communication. The growth of International Schools of the non-traditional type raises issues about the legitimacy of such schools. These new forms of International School face particular challenges in establishing themselves legitimately as ‘international’. In this article, we develop a framework which is grounded in institutional theory to analyse the institutionalisation of and the consequent legitimacy of International Schools. We use the three pillars of institutionalisation which, by means of carriers, underpin the institutionalisation of organisations. We employ this framework to analyse and illustrate the legitimacy of a school’s claim to be an International School and also to bring to light the challenges that schools face in establishing a legitimate claim to be ‘international’.
