Rethinking the World Bank Agenda for Chinese Higher Education Reform

This article explores the way in which the World Bank has worked effectively with China in higher education. It investigates whether or not the cooperation between the two has changed in line with their changing relationship. More specifically, it discusses whether the World Bank’s China agenda reflects the reform package of socio-institutional neoliberalism which the World Bank has tended to promote worldwide in the era of the Post-Washington Consensus, and how China’s higher education reform has been influenced by the agenda. The article argues that as China is transferring its role from that of a recipient country to that of a donor country, it is increasingly important to position itself as a global player. Other than mastering the game rules of the international community, China should also expand its influence within and through these major international organizations.     

基于“一张表”平台推动面向高校教师的数据治理实践

为解决高校数据治理问题,文章首先对数据治理的定义、高校数据治理对象及其治理思路进行了分析,并引入面向高校教师的数据治理平台——"一张表"平台。随后,文章介绍了"一张表"平台的功能框架与功能特点,从数据同步、处理、采集、管理、反馈、控制等角度探讨了平台对教师数据治理的推动机制,并分析了平台对教师数据治理流程的重构。最后,文章介绍了"一张表"平台的数据治理成效,发现平台完善了数据资产、治理了难点数据、提升了数据质量,能有效地推动高校教师数据治理的实施。

旋流除砂器流场特性分析

本研究设计了一种旋流式除砂器,此除砂器依靠液流流动进行除砂,不需要其它辅助装置,可以实现强制旋流,从而去除油水混合液中的砂粒,分离出来的砂粒直接沉入油井底部,不发生堵塞现象,此除砂器可以减少砂粒对抽油泵的磨损,延长修井周期,提高采油效率。根据所设计的旋流除砂器实际结构与尺寸,建立旋流除砂器的有限元模型。对旋流除砂器的内部流场进行数值模拟计算,得出旋流除砂器的速度及压力的分布规律及不同时刻沉降情况。对所得到的结果进行处理与分析,可以对旋流除砂器的工作情况进行深入的分析,证明此旋流除砂器结构简单、能耗低、除砂效率高,对油井井底除砂行之有效。     

负荷预测中相似日和影响因素的选择研究

随着经济的不断发展,用电量的急剧增加,短期预测成为各个供电部门一个不可或缺的部分。电力负荷受多种因素影响,针对短期负荷预测,提出一种考虑各种影响因素的新算法,该方法首先利用模糊C均值聚类方法对历史样本进行聚类,依据输入样本的相似度选取训练样本,然后在选取的样本上,利用遗传算法实现负荷影响因素的提取和支持向量机参数的选择,最后利用支持向量机建立预测模型。采用上述方法对河南电网负荷进行了预测分析,结果证明了该方法的有效性。     

变译理论与电影片名翻译

变译理论是基于大量的翻译实践总结提出的一套颇具本土特色和意识的翻译理论。变译是以读者为目标的具体翻译方法,其本质是变通。电影片名的翻译因文化差异、观众需求不同和言语表达矛盾,有时需要采用变译策略。片名变译的宗旨就是满足特定条件下特定观众的特定需求,使观众消费电影商品,达成文化传播。     

Collaborative filtering for expansion of learner’s background knowledge in online language learning: does “top-down” processing improve vocabulary proficiency?

In recent years, collaborative filtering, a recommendation algorithm that incorporates a user’s data such as interest, has received worldwide attention as an advanced learning support system. However, accurate recommendations along with a user’s interest cannot be ideal as an effective learning environment. This study aims to develop and evaluate an online English vocabulary learning system using collaborative filtering that allows learners to learn English vocabulary while expanding their interests. The online learning environment recommends English news articles using information obtained from other users with similar interests. The learner then studies these recommended articles as a method of learning English. The results of a two-month experiment that compared this system to an earlier collaborative filtering system called “GroupLens” reveal that learners who used the collaborative filtering system developed in this study read various news articles and had significantly higher scores on topic-specific vocabulary tests than did those who used the previous system.
