The translucent cadaver: An evaluation of the use of full body digital x-ray images and drawings in surface anatomy education

It has been noted by staff at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Stellenbosch University that medical students neglect the study of surface anatomy during dissection. This study reports on the novel use of Lodox® Statscan® images in anatomical education, particularly the teaching of surface anatomy. Full body digital X‐ray images (Lodox Statscan) of each cadaver (n = 40) were provided to second year medical students. During dissection students were asked to visualize landmarks, organs, and structures on the digital X‐ray and their cadaver, as well as palpate these landmarks and structures on themselves, their colleagues, and the cadaver. To stimulate student engagement with surface anatomy, dissection groups were required to draw both the normal and actual position of organs on a laminated image provided. The accuracy of the drawings was subsequently assessed and students were further assessed by means of practical identification tests. In addition, students were asked to complete an anonymous questionnaire. A response rate of 79% was obtained for the student questionnaire. From the questionnaire it was gathered that students found the digital X‐ray images beneficial for viewing most systems' organs, except for the pelvic organs. Although it appears that students still struggle with the study of surface anatomy, most students believed that the digital X‐rays were beneficial to their studies and supported their continued use in the future.

从记忆到想像：艺术作为摄影时代的影像转向

在传统观念下,摄影被认为是真实时空中发生的事物和活动的复制品,是现实世界的纯粹反映,而数字影像的记录方式从实体的银盐变成了虚拟的像素,通过后期再加工合成或电脑绘图制作的影像把摄影从记忆中的现实空间转化为想象中的拟像空间,解构了传统摄影的确证和记录的本质,颠覆了摄影艺术纪实美、瞬间美的本体特性,重塑了当代影像艺术的创作与审美架构,步入瓦尔特.本雅明所预示的＂艺术作为摄影＂的时代。本文从传统摄影的本体特性切入,探讨数字影像技术对新闻摄影伦理观念的冲击,摄影艺术创作方法和观念的转变等问题。     

试论语文课文中社会美的审美教育

社会美主要指的是人的美。人美包括外貌美和心灵美。语文课文中成功地塑造了一系列美的人，如何充分利用这些美的人教育学生，让学生学习这些美的人，模仿这引起美的人，从而造就新一代美的人，是我们语文教学的首要任务，也是教育的宗旨。该文试图通过分析课文中社会美的内涵和形式，探索社会美的审美教育，更好地完成社会美的审美教育目的。     

磁共振成像技术及其应用

磁共振成像技术依据原子核能级跃迁释放能量在物质不同结构环境中不同的衰减,通过外加梯度磁场检测所发射的电磁波,获得构成物体的原子核种类和位置,从而绘制出物体内部的结构图像．近年来,随着快速变化的梯度磁场的应用,核磁共振成像技术不仅在医学,而且在其他科研领域都得到了广泛的应用．     

双基地SAR成像系统时频同步设计与试验

双基地SAR成像具有常规单基地SAR成像难以实现的一些优点。常规单基地SAR成像收发一体,很容易实现SAR成像孔径合成时间内收发信号相位相参的基本要求,但该要求却是双基地SAR成像的难点。时频同步是双基地SAR成像的关键技术,文章简述了时频同步的常用方法,提出了采用GPS＋高精度原子钟的时频同步设计方法,通过同步试验静态测试、微波暗室测试和动态同步试验的验证,表明该同步设计方法能够满足双基地SAR成像的需求。

介绍了一种柴油机电控喷油器喷射开启控制系统。为实现柴油机电控喷油器的开启、持续喷油、关闭功能,应用STC12系列单片机构成电控喷油器的控制系统。开启时为使喷油器开启迅速,应用单周期控制技术的IR1150S芯片,产生高压为112 V的高压电源为喷油器供电。试验结果表明,开发的柴油机电控喷油器控制系统符合X光相衬成像技术研究柴油机喷雾雾化机理的要求,喷油开启迅速、喷油持续稳定、关闭干脆。本系统根据设定可实现电控喷油器的单次及多次连续开启,进一步可以推广应用于柴油机喷油器相关环节教学实验中。     

Planum temporale asymmetry: In-vivo morphometry affords a new perspective for neuro-behavioral research

High-resolution magnetic resonance (MR) imaging today allows the in vivo quantification of the surface area of the cortex covering the planum temporale and permits assessment of the direction and degree of individual left-right asymmetry of this structure. This methodologic advance is promoting new studies on the biological mechanisms of anatomic and functional lateralization and on the structural accompaniments of disorders such as developmental dyslexia. It is important to stress that studies must agree on the definition and measurement of planum asymmetry, and we review our definition and its justification in the present article.Data obtained from normal subjects supported the assumption that planum (a)symmetry underlies functional lateralization. Thus, familial sinistrality predicted for symmetry of the planum in all eight left-handers studied. The pattern of planum symmetry in the normals was similar to that found in the post mortem studies of dyslexic individuals. Insofar as hand preference and developmental dyslexia are in part genetically transmitted, we suggest that planum symmetry may represent an inherited condition as well. Further-more, even though planum symmetry is part of the anatomic substrate of developmental dyslexia, it is unlikely that it represents a form of developmental anatomic pathology.
