Too Much,Too Young? An Analysis of the Key Stage 3 National Literacy Strategy in Practice

This article was first drafted after I worked for 14 weeks last year in a school that was piloting the National Literacy Strategy at Key Stage 3. I now work in another school delivering the full published Strategy to Year 7. In this article, I explore the contradictions inherent in the Strategy in attempting to develop the English and literacy skills of Key Stage 3 pupils. Ultimately, my argument is that the educational benefits of this teaching to objectives is at odds with some of the deeper aims of the Strategy and of English teaching, and that the constant assessment involved puts too much pressure on our youngsters at an age when they should be concentrating on social development as people.     

通过串音预测对PCB布线的3W规则进行验证

在传输线理论的基础上，利用有限元(FEM)法计算分层介质中微带线上场的分布，并通过SPICE仿真对其等效电路在不同频率电源激励下产生的串音进行预测．预测结果验证了印制电路板布线遵从“3W”规则的重要性．由此得出结论：3W规则的使用有功于PCB设计满足EMC系统设计标准，并最大限度地减小印制线之间的耦合．     

Pattern design on 3D triangular garment surfaces

This paper focuses on a pattern design method for a 3D triangular garment surface. Firstly, some definitions of 3D style lines are proposed for designing the boundaries of patterns as drawing straight lines or splines on the triangular surface. Additionally some commonly used style lines are automatically generated to enhance design efficiency. Secondly, after style lines are preprocessed, a searching method is presented for quickly obtaining the boundaries and patches of a pattern on the 3D trian- gular surface. Finally a new pattern design reuse method is introduced by encoding/decoding the style line information. After style lines are encoded, the pattern design information can be saved in a pattern template and when decoding this template on a new garment surface, it automates the pattern generation for made-to-measure apparel products.     

Numerical Calculation of Concrete Slab Response to Blast Loading

In the present paper, a dynamic plastic damage model for concrete has been employed to estimate responses of a reinforced concrete slab subjected to blast loading. The interaction between the blast wave and the concrete slab is considered in 3D simulation. In the first stage, the initial detonation and blast wave propagation is modelled in 2D simulation before the blast wave reaches the concrete slab, then the results obtained from 2D calculation are remapped to a 3D model. The calculated blast load is compared with that obtained from TM5-1300. Numerical results of the concrete slab response are compared with the explosive test carried out-in the Weapons System Division, Defence Science and Technology Organisation, Department of Defence, Australia.

SrTiO_3微晶玻璃的低温制备及性能

采用低温法制备出SrTiO_8微晶玻璃.对样品进行了X-射线和DTA及ε-T曲线的测定。结果表明,在样品用料中加入一定量的碱金属氧化物,可以在较低温度下(～1350℃)制得SrTIO_8微晶玻璃。碱金属加入量的多少直接影响到微晶玻璃的制成温度.在较低温度下制得的微晶玻璃的介电常数随SrTiO_3含量的增加而增加,随温度的升高而略有升高。     

减少不确定性与含糊交际理论在交际中的运用

语言交际是一种复杂的人类言语行为,交际者根据交际目的、环境,对象以及各种随机因素的交互作用而作出言语决策.语言交际策略的使用不但要遵循顺应理论的原则,而且还受元语言意识的影响.减少不确定性和含糊交际,作为大家经常使用的交际策略,它们的最终目的都是实现信息的交换,满足交际者的需求,顺利完成交际任务.     

钢琴四、五度与三、六度调律法

钢琴调律，精确度是不容忽视的问题。目前，调律师普遍采用的是四、五度调律法。但这种调律法的整个过程彼此依赖，形成一个闭合环，二旦某个步骤出现误差，将会带入下一环节，而三、六度调律法可减少人为误差，有助于提高调律的速度及精确度。     

外宣材料英译中的"加减法"

随着中国对外开放的进一步深入,对外宣传报道材料的英译越来越重要。但对这类文本的汉英翻译不同于纯粹的汉英翻译,译者要把宣传效果放在第一位。译者在进行此类翻译时要照顾译文读者对我们的宣传报道的接受性,灵活运用增译和减译的翻译方法,搬掉影响读者阅读的绊脚石,从而保证我们的对外宣传效果。本文作者就如何应用这些翻译方法提出了自己的见解。
