英、汉难易结构对比

在Chomsky(1977，1982)和Kim（1996）的研究基础上，将英、汉难易结构进行了对比。一方面，英、汉难易结构具有相同参数值，另一方面，表面形态是难易结构的句子，在英文中只能理解成难易结构，而在汉语中，它有时还可理解成“假”难易结构。此外，在英文中，难易结构的语义只能由难易结构表达，而在汉语里，它还可以由“被动”难易结构表达。最后，也许正是由于英、汉难易结构在参数值方面的同一和他们在各自语言体系中与相关结构的关系方面的不同一，导致以汉语为母语的习得者学习英文难易结构的困难。     

The Role of Parents and Community in the Education of the Japanese Child

In Japan, there has been an increased concern about family and community participation in the childs education. Traditionally, the role of parents and community in Japan has been one of support and less one of active involvement in school learning. Since the government commenced education reforms in the last quarter of the 20th century, a more active role for parents and the community in education has been encouraged. These reforms have been inspired by the need to tackle various problems that had arisen, such as the perceived harmful elements of societys preoccupation with academic achievement and the problematic behavior of young people. In this paper, the following issues are examined: (1) education policy and reform measures with regard to parent and community involvement in the childs education; (2) the state of parent and community involvement at the eve of the 20th century.     

有奖储蓄中奖号码的计算机分析

本文根据K.Pearson X~2的检验法,对中国工商银行浙江省分行1981年1月～1987年12月所有的由摇奖机摇出的有奖储蓄的中奖号码,利用电子计算机进行了统计分析.运算结果肯定了中国工商银行浙江省分行目前的摇奖方法是可靠的.也就是说,每个月在全省的某一地、市、县轮流用不同的摇奖机、不同的号珠,由不同的操作人员摇出中奖号码的方法,是行得通的.同时也指出,广大储户完全没有必要去择号购奖券,甚至买好以后再去调换所谓“中意的奖券,因为相对于信度10%而言,我们肯定了假设H:0～9这十个号珠中的每一个被摇奖机摇出的概率是相等的.”     

Student,home, and school socio-demographic factors: links to school,home, and community arts participation

This study explored the role of student (e.g., age, language background, gender), home (e.g., parent/caregiver education), and school (e.g., school type, size) socio-demographic factors in students’ school (e.g., in-school arts tuition, arts engagement), home (e.g., parent/caregiver–child arts interaction), and community (e.g., arts attendance, arts tuition) arts participation. The sample comprised 1172 elementary and secondary school students from 15 schools. Findings revealed that student and home socio-demographic factors were the most salient in predicting arts participation across school, home, and community contexts. Age, gender, and prior achievement were the key student socio-demographic factors, while parent/caregiver education and occupation were also associated with students’ arts participation. Implications for practice and intervention pertinent to young people’s arts participation are discussed.     

Three dimensional couette flow and heat transfer through a porous medium with variable permeability

This paper reports research on the effects of variations in injection velocity and permeability on the heat transfer and flow through a highly porous medium between two horizontal parallel plates situated at constant distance with constant suction by the upper plate. Due to this type of variation in injection velocity and in permeability the flow becomes three dimensional. The governing equations are solved by adopting complex variable notations to obtain the expressions for the velocity and temperature field. The skin-friction along the main flow direction and rate of heat transfer are discussed with the help of graphs.
