Training School Counselors To Work with Students with Handicapping Conditions

As students with handicapping conditions have been integrated into public schools, the role of the school counselor has been expanded to meet these students' needs. As a result, counselor training programs need to be adjusted to include theory and practice in working with exceptional children. In this article the authors discuss the issue of students with handicapping conditions in public schools and provide suggestions for training school counselors.     

Roots of Greatness: Future Directions

This article contains essential and contemporary information in the form of opinion statements written by past-presidents of ACES and serves to meet archival and proactive functions for those persons associated with the guidance and counseling movement. Fifteen leaders report their perceptions and suggest directions vital to future progress in facilitating the work of counselor education graduates. Without exception, the leaders set a mood for optimism with expressions of need for preparation standards of high quality in counselor education—a product of the delicate triangle linking faculty, graduates, and subject matter of the counseling field.     

民俗研究与翻译研究

每个民俗学学者必须了解自己的学科有多少经典或创新著作是翻译的结果,尽管这个问题常常被隐含了。民俗研究同时也是翻译研究,因为两个领域近年来愈发成熟和关系密切。无论是跨文化或语言研究还是对文化研究都离不开文本的翻译。这种翻译不仅能提供文本,同时也能在研究新的文化时促进文化协商。民俗学者必须面对民俗与翻译研究中出现的新问题。因此,可以通过回顾历史归纳出民俗与翻译研究的四个挑战。     

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of herbicide resistance in creeping bentgrass and colonial bentgrass

Embryogenic calli were induced from the seeds of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds.) cv. Regent and colonial bentgrass (Agrostis Tenuis Sibth. Fl. Oxen.) cv. Tiger. The embryogenic calli were precultured on fresh medium for 4-7 days and then co-cultivated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens, LBA4404, which contains plasmid vector-pSBGM harboring bar coding region, synthetic green fluorescent protein (sGFP) coding region and matrix attachment region (MAR). After 3 days of co-cultivation, the calli were washed thoroughly and transferred to MS medium containing 2 mg/L of 2, 4-D, 12-15 mg/L phosphinothricin (PPT) and 250 mg/L of cefotaxime. After 2-3 months of selection, the actively growing calli of 'Regent' and 'Tiger' were transferred to MS medium with 12-15 mg/L PPT and 250 mg/L cefotaxime for regeneration. The putative transformants were maintained on MS medium with 3 mg/L PPT for long period but control died within 1 month. After establishing in greenhouse, the transformants also showed strong resistance to 0.4% of herbicide Basta but control plants died within 2 weeks. Under confocal microscope, both young leaves and roots showed significant GFP expression. PCR analysis revealed the presence of a DNA fragment of GFP gene at the expected size (380 bp) in the transformants and its absence in a randomly selected control plant.     

20世纪90年代河北省人口出生性别比真实水平的统计推断

普查资料显示,我国各省、市、自治区之间的人口出生性别比存在很大的差异性。通过对河北省"四普"和"五普"中同批人的统计资料分析表明,低年龄人口的漏报、瞒报现象是造成河北省出生性别比统计偏高的主要因素,但20世纪90年代出生人口性别比的真实水平仍然明显高于国际公认的正常水平。     

温州地区黑荆树的种群结构与更新的研究

黑荆树被认为是一种恶性入侵种,已在世界许多地方入侵以后造成严重生态后果。自上世纪五十年代引入我国以来,目前在国内已经有比较广的分布,但国内一直缺少对其在中国的入侵生物学和生态学研究。本研究调查了温州地区10个黑荆树群落,对其中胸径大于1cm的个体进行了鉴定、测量和定位,重点分析了其中4个群落中黑荆树种群的大小级结构及其空间分布格局。结果表明,黑荆树的种群动态受人为干扰影响较大,更新较差且幼苗萌发后受草本层盖度影响较大。由于黑荆树更新依赖于林窗的出现,并受到种子扩散的限制,黑荆树的空间分布以聚集分布为主。黑荆树种群受到Janzen-Connell效应的制约,幼苗很难在母树周围实现更新,所以就空间资源利用上来说黑荆树入侵不会形成纯林。总的来说,黑荆树对本地演替高级阶段群落的入侵性并不高,对这类群落的生物多样性破坏能力也有限。     

Performance of LIDAR- and radar-based turbulence intensity measurement in comparison with anemometer-based turbulence intensity estimation based on aircraft data for a typical case of terrain-induced turbulence in association with a typhoon

The Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) provides low-level turbulence alerting service for the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) through the windshear and turbulence warning system (WTWS). In the WTWS, turbulence intensities along the flight paths of the airport are estimated based upon correlation equations established between the surface anemometer data and the turbulence data from research aircraft before the opening of the airport. The research aircraft data are not available on day-to-day basis. The remote sensing meteorological instruments, such as the Doppler light detection and ranging (LIDAR) and radar, may be used to provide direct measurements of turbulence intensities over the runway corridors. The performances of LIDAR- and radar-based turbulence intensity data are studied in this paper based on actual turbulence intensity measurements made on 423 commercial jets for a typical case of terrain-induced turbulence in association with a typhoon. It turns out that, with the tuning of the relative operating characteristic (ROC) curve between hit rate and false alarm rate, the LIDAR-based turbulence intensity measurement performs better than the anemometer-based estimation of WTWS for turbulence intensity at moderate level or above. On the other hand, the radar-based measurement does not perform as well when compared with WTWS. By combining LIDAR- and radar-based measurements, the performance is slightly better than WTWS, mainly as a result of contribution from LIDAR-based measurement. As a result, the LIDAR-based turbulence intensity measurement could be used to replace anemometer-based estimate for non-rainy weather conditions. Further enhancements of radar-based turbulence intensity measurement in rain would be necessary.     

韩国高等教育国际化指标体系评述

当前,高等教育国际化已成为世界教育发展的主流,建立科学有效的高等教育国际化指标体系可以为高校的国际化发展起到引领作用。2009年,韩国教育开发院研究制定了一套旨在对大学国际化发展程度进行测量的指标体系,该体系涵盖目标战略、组织与预算、基础设施、教学、人员构成以及科研等核心项目,在权重分配方面兼顾了教学型和科研型两类学校。考察分析韩国高等教育国际化指标体系的制定过程与内容,对促进高等学校的国际化水平与质量有一定参考意义。
