Comparison and Classification of Documents Based on Layout Similarity

This paper describes features and methods for document image comparison and classification at the spatial layout level. The methods are useful for visual similarity based document retrieval as well as fast algorithms for initial document type classification without OCR. A novel feature set called interval encoding is introduced to capture elements of spatial layout. This feature set encodes region layout information in fixed-length vectors by capturing structural characteristics of the image. These fixed-length vectors are then compared to each other through a Manhattan distance computation for fast page layout comparison. The paper describes experiments and results to rank-order a set of document pages in terms of their layout similarity to a test document. We also demonstrate the usefulness of the features derived from interval coding in a hidden Markov model based page layout classification system that is trainable and extendible. The methods described in the paper can be used in various document retrieval tasks including visual similarity based retrieval, categorization and information extraction.

数字人文:作为学术资料再分配的新形式

本文试图从学术资料的“私密型—共享型”消费角度来理解数字人文对学术资料的再分配形式.研究认为:首先,数字人文发展对于传统人文学术内在矛盾的回应,试图在不牺牲学术资料的“固有产权”的背景下以技术手段修正学术资料使用的负外部性.其次,数字人文是学者与学者之间、学者与学界之间、学术与技术之间的联合与集聚,以及理性算计与价值扩...

植物生长调节剂在作物生产中的安全使用

植物生长调节剂已广泛应用于农作物生产中，能有效改善作物生长状况，提高产品产量和品质，但使用不当也会造成严重的药害。在实际生产中要注意安全使用植物生长调节剂，根据作物品种和使用目标，来选择植物生长调节剂的类型，严格控制浓度及施用方法、时间和次数，从而充分发挥植物生长调节剂的效果。     

平直界面一维晶体生长问题的相似解

对于平直界面下由过冷边界开始的熔体的一维凝固过程，考虑液态中远场温度高于凝固温度，而底板温度低于凝固温度，利用相似性解法分别求解固液态温度，分析其结果，说明由低温区长入高温区的界面总是稳定的，从而更加完善了一维晶体生长理论．     

A new pedagogical model for adventure in the curriculum: part one – advocating for the model

Background: In recent years increasing attention has been given to models-based approaches to physical education as a way of promoting standards and particular types of learning through better alignment of teacher planning and delivery with pupil learning and achievement. However, little attention has been given to the specific contribution a pedagogical model for outdoor adventure education (OAE) has to make to pupils learning.

Purpose: This paper is presented in two parts. Part one is an advocacy paper and draws upon the broader discourse around models-based practice to make a case for the development of a pedagogical model for OAE. Drawing upon guidelines for models-based approaches to physical education, this paper considers the theoretical foundation, rationale, review of research findings and major theme that inform the development of a model of OAE.

Conclusions: The selected review of the research suggests that the major impact of OAE is upon the affective domain, particularly in relation to pupils developing a positive self-concept. Learning is also evident in the cognitive and physical domains, but this is secondary to learning in the affective domain. Drawing upon the analysis of the research literature, the major theme for the model is identified as ‘personal growth through adventure’ and ‘OAE’ is suggested as the name of the model. Part two of this paper builds upon these foundations to outline what a pedagogical model for OAE might look like in a secondary school in the UK.

“But it doesn’t come naturally”: how effort expenditure shapes the benefit of growth mindset on women’s sense of intellectual belonging in computing

Research suggests growth mindset, or the belief that knowledge is acquired through effort, may enhance women’s sense of belonging in male-dominated disciplines, like computing. However, other research indicates women who spend a great deal of time and energy in technical fields experience a low sense of belonging. The current study assessed the benefits of a growth mindset on women’s (and men’s) sense of intellectual belonging in computing, accounting for the amount of time and effort dedicated to academics. We define “intellectual belonging” as the sense that one is believed to be a competent member of the community. Whereas a stronger growth mindset was associated with stronger intellectual belonging for men, a growth mindset only boosted women’s intellectual belonging when they did not work hard on academics. Our findings suggest, paradoxically, women may not benefit from a growth mindset in computing when they exert a lot of effort.
