对异形复制的分析

平面作品立体化或立体作品平面化算不算著作权法上的复制,我国《著作权法》未给予明确规定。这不符合《伯尔尼保护文学和艺术作品公约》的精神,也与其他《伯尔尼保护文学和艺术作品公约》成员国的立法不一致。这种不一致在国际经济一体化的背案下会造成对国民保护不力,不利于国际交往,不利于规范人们行为的弊端,因此应明确化。     

论“幻化”艺术手段在《聊斋》中的运用

《聊斋》是我国古代文学的艺术明珠, 是一部充满积极浪漫主义精神的文学巨著。“幻化”是蒲松龄塑造艺术形象的重要手段: 它寓意精辟真幻结合; 情节细节虚实统一; 背景环境真幻交互。蒲松龄“用传奇法, 而以志怪”, 现实和幻想, 真实和离奇有机结合在一起的艺术经验值得借鉴。     

How fast can we read in the mind? Developmental trajectories of silent reading fluency

The silent reading fluency is not an observable behaviour and, therefore, its evaluation is perceived as more challenging and less reliable than oral reading fluency. The present research is aimed to measure the silent reading speed in a sample of proficient students, assessed by an original silent reading fluency task, based on behavioural indicators of the silent reading speed. A total of 325 high school and university skilled students (age range 14–23 years) have been assessed using 3 tasks aimed to evaluate the oral reading speed (lists of words, lists of pseudowords and narrative text) and one task aimed to measure the silent reading speed. The average silent reading speed in our sample was around 12.5 syll/sec, almost double than the oral reading speed rate. The silent reading speed had an increase from 9.13 to 12.38 syll/sec from the first year of high school (ninth grade) to the fifth year of University. Conversely, the oral reading speed remained substantially unchanged for the entire academic course. Our results showed that the reading fluency in silent mode tends to increase up to the last years of University and it may be considered the most rapid and efficient reading mode. This study highlights the importance of including both silent and oral reading modes in the assessment of the older students and young adults, since silent reading is the main reading mode for proficient readers.     

论语料库在EFL教学中的应用

本文从三个方面论述了语料库在EFL教学中的作用。首先,基于语料库的某些研究成果可以用来指导宏观英语教学,即指导教学大纲设计和教材编写;其次,语料库可以用来帮助并监控微观英语课堂教学;最后,学习者语料库可以为诊断式语言教学提供系统而准确的依据。     

Panel 2: The Implications of Digital Scholarship for Research Libraries: Challenges of Access and Preservation

ABSTRACT

The panelists present observations on the impact of digital scholarship for library goals related to information access and preservation based on their experiences in a variety of Web-influenced environments. The advent of digital forms of publishing and information retrieval signal significant changes in our understanding of library business models, user services, and the role of special collections.     

The role of schools in explaining individuals’ subject choices at age 14

Abstract

The subjects that young people study from age 14 onwards may have important consequences for their future academic and labour market outcomes. These decisions are shaped by the schools in which they find themselves. Schools also face constraints of their own. This paper explores the extent to which individuals’ decisions are affected by the school they attend and to what extent this is affected by the composition of schools in terms of academic attainment, gender, and socioeconomic background. We use multi-level variance decomposition models applied to administrative data on the subjects that young people in mainstream state-funded schools in England study between ages 14 and 16. Our results highlight the important role that constraints on schools play in subject choice decisions. We also note the particular role of attending a non-selective school within a selective schooling district.     

构造正则表达式的最佳NFA算法的选择

介绍了工程中广泛应用的四种经典和先进的不确定有限自动机NFA的基本构造方法,它们是位置自动机Apos部分派生自动机Apd,跟随自动机Af,共同跟随集合自动机Acfs。列举大量工程实践中常用和经典的正则表达式,分别用上述自动机算法进行求解实验,对它们的运算尺寸以及与正则表达式尺寸之间的关系,列出表格分别进行比较分析,从中总结出各种自动机的构造特点和最佳应用场合。针对如何根据不同的正则表达式来选择非确定性有限自动机NFA算法提供了重要的参考依据。
