Idea generation in biomedical engineering courses using Design Heuristics

ABSTRACT

With increasing demand for improved medical equipment and healthcare, next-generation biomedical engineers need strong design skills. Equipping biomedical engineering students with tools for idea generation and development can increase student design success. Design Heuristics are an ideation tool developed through empirical studies of product designs. While identified in the mechanical engineering space, Design Heuristics may be applicable in biomedical engineering design. In our study, we implemented a Design Heuristics session during upper-level undergraduate and first-year graduate biomedical engineering design courses. We examined the applicability of Design Heuristics within individual and team concept generation contexts. The findings demonstrated that biomedical engineering students were able to use Design Heuristics to generate multiple concepts, and that initial concepts produced using Design Heuristics were carried over into final team design. The results support the applicability of Design Heuristics to student idea generation in biomedical engineering design.     

论夫妻共有房产中的隐名共有人权益保护

受传统观念的影响,大量夫妻共有房产仅登记在一方名下,另一方的共有权未能体现,成为隐名共有人。本文从分析隐名共有人作为真实权利人保护与登记公信力平衡入手,认为应当完善不动产登记制度,明确登记机构的审查职责,采取＂夫妻联名登记＂,以实现对隐名共有人利益的保护。     

建国前中国共产党资本主义观的回顾与思考

1919年五四爱国运动爆发，中国开启了新民主主义革命的进程。然而与一般的资本主义国家不同，在半殖民地半封建社会时期。中国的资本主义和资产阶级有着很大的特殊性。作为代表中国最广大人民根本利益的中国共产党从1921年成立到1949年新中国建立这近三十年的时间内，不可避免地与资本主义及其资产阶级发生了千丝万缕的关系，并在不同历史阶段采取了不同的策略。总结党在这一时期的历史经验对当下中国经济社会发展仍然有很大启示和教育意义。     

A Process for Reviewing and Evaluating Generated Test Items

Testing organization needs large numbers of high‐quality items due to the proliferation of alternative test administration methods and modern test designs. But the current demand for items far exceeds the supply. Test items, as they are currently written, evoke a process that is both time‐consuming and expensive because each item is written, edited, and reviewed by a subject‐matter expert. One promising approach that may address this challenge is with automatic item generation. Automatic item generation combines cognitive and psychometric modeling practices to guide the production of items that are generated with the aid of computer technology. The purpose of this study is to describe and illustrate a process that can be used to review and evaluate the quality of the generated item by focusing on the content and logic specified within the item generation procedure. We illustrate our process using an item development example from mathematics drawn from the Common Core State Standards and from surgical education drawn from the health sciences domain.     

关于社会发展评价标准的理性思考

当今我国处于转型发展的多元化社会过程中，面临着多方面的挑战，我们应从社会发展的价值取向、社会评价尺度等方面综合考虑影响我国社会发展的因素，从而使社会既合规律又合目的地向前发展。     

朦胧诗以后:词与物

1985年以后,“朦胧诗人”逐渐引退,“朦胧诗”的单向度写作已经不再为更年轻诗人所满足。随着国人艺术观念的解放,诗歌写作风格也日趋多样。以时间为标志的“第三代”、“70后”、“中间代”、“80后”和以作品价值取向为标志的“知识分子写作”、“民间立场”、“下半身”等命名相继出现;各种写作潮流之间分野日益明显,并引发多次论争;民刊的日益兴盛与互联网的出现,使诗歌写作和发表打破了以前官办刊物的垄断地位。这一切,使近20年来的中国诗坛充满活力。     

Advantages and Limitations of Open Source Software for Library Management System Functions: The Experience of Libraries in India

The explosion of availability of information on the Internet requires that libraries evolve into value-added information providers, rather than mere curators of collections. Modern libraries need to stay relevant to a diverse, technologically savvy patron base and to facilitate and add value to the research community, while facing significant resource constraints. To face these challenges, libraries need to embrace digital technologies and library management systems (LMS) in order to work smart and achieve more with less. While LMS systems have been around for decades, libraries can explore the new frontier by embracing open source solutions, like open source software (OSS) library systems, which are free to acquire. They need to collaborate with computer experts and become technologically savvy to harness the full power of OSS solutions to meet the specific needs of the library and patron base. This article provides an overview of the availability, benefits, and drawbacks of various LMS systems and OSS variants, drawing from experiences in the present Indian context.     

论威特罗克的生成学习理论的教学含义

生成学习理论认为：学习是一个主动的过程，学习者积极参与其中，并非被动地接纳信息，而是主动地构建自己对信息的解释，并从中做出推论。该文界定了生成学习理论的含义，介绍了这一理论的生理基础，并指出了生成学习理论对教学设计的指导意义。

完善上市公司监督制度的法律思考

公司治理结构的核心问题是公司的内部监督问题。目前我国上市公司的监督机制实行监事会制度和独立董事制度并举的模式，但在实践中并没有取得预期的效果。考虑我国的传统和市场经济的发展阶段．吸收独立董事制度的合理因素，建立由股东代表监事、职工代表监事和独立监事共同组成的监事会，并充分提升监事的独立性和专业性是一条符合我国实际的可行之路。
