Improving network service performance and reliability via links trunking technologies

INTRODUCTION Because of the critical role that computing sys-tems and networks play in today’s business envi-ronment, it is not surprising that business success often goes to the company with the best information and the most efficient process for delivering that in-formation. As the principal tool for business col-laboration, corporate LANs are a vital resource in enabling today’s enterprises to adopt competitive strategies. The number of users wanting to share and access data across…     

Neuropsychological Assessment of First‐Year Architecture Students’ Visuospatial Abilities: Overview

First‐year architecture students are expected to utilise visuospatial abilities to generate/construct, retain, rotate and manipulate space mentally and physically through physical and digital representations. This study of 57 female and 23 male participants was conducted to investigate first‐year architecture students’ visuospatial abilities by means of the Beck Depression Inventory, Logical Reasoning Test and Judgment of Line Orientation (JLO) test. Participants’ sexes, cognitive development level, depression scale scores, university entrance exam results, vision disorders, physical competences, art training prior to university and error types were the study’s main parameters. The results showed that academic scores of the participants both to enrol in the program and complete the first‐year studio did not correlate with their JLO scores. Nondepressed participants performed better in JLO. Error analyses demonstrated that there is a concentration on certain items according to the test stimulus line positions, especially in females. Those who reported limited physical and visual competency made more mistakes in the same items. The study concludes that sex, depression, and individual differences in physical and visual competency, and art training, are significant variables for visuospatial performance. Judging visuospatial parameters through spatial design exercises is different from having proper methods and instruments to assess the achievements of the students regarding those abilities in architectural design education. It is important to map students’ visuospatial abilities individually from a developmental perspective. There is a strong need to develop 4D psychometric instrument to assess visuospatial abilities.     

Where do you come from,where do you go? Assessing skills gaps and labour market outcomes for young adults with different immigration backgrounds

Using PISA and PIAAC data from twelve OECD countries, we examine the gap in cognitive skills among immigrants and natives and evaluate how those differences have evolved over time. We also consider how demographics, family background and school quality explain the development of cognitive skills of young people with immigrant backgrounds. The results show, first, that some convergence in skills occurs between second-generation immigrants and natives over time. Second, demographics, family background and school quality variables all contribute to the achievement gaps across different groups.     

日本高等教育交叉学科建设的范例及其启示

本文围绕日本高等教育交叉学科建设与运营的特点,从交叉学科研究的研究实体、交叉学科教育的教育体系、学科交叉型大学的大学改革理念三个层面,分别调研了一个典型事例,发现他们最主要的特点分别是:科研实体具有高度的学术组织运作机能;交叉学科教育是以一个学院为单位的整体改革,而不是停留在几门交叉学科课程的设置上;以学术融合为理念的新型大学,其动力来源于开创新的学科体系的战略目标。

盈余管理是企业管理人员在会计准则允许的范围之内,为了实现自身效用的最大化或企业价值的最大化而做出的会计选择。文章首先对盈余管理的涵义进行界定,然后分析其产生的原因和行为动机,最后结合我国新会计准则下上市企业盈余管理的手段,提出规范上市公司盈余管理的建议。     

二语语法学习与语言技能关系研究

语法在语言学习中具有重要地位。研究发现,语法知识有助于各项语言技能提高,语法学习可以加速对语言形式的掌握。从学生主体来考虑,明示语法教学或多或少优于暗示语法教学。     

从文体学的角度看翻译标准

翻译标准是翻译理论的核心，文体再现又是翻译标准的核心。对翻译标准文体理论的系统再认识，有利于再现原文的文体特征，从而明确文体学对翻译标准确立的意义。

纳米线阵列结构温差电材料具有高的热电转换效率 ,非常适合制造输出功率在微瓦量级的微温差电池 .由于纳米线阵列结构温差电材料的厚度通常在十微米至几十微米 ,常规的温差电性能测试技术已不适用 .为此 ,提出了一种新的温差电性能测试技术 ,并建立了相关的测试系统 .     

“一体”、“两象”、“三关”和“四要”——新诗“标准”的现实构建策略

目前新诗标准建设已成当务之急,一定要重视诗体、想象与意象。新诗标准应该分为“写什么”的标准与“怎么写”的标准两大部分,但是后者远比前者重要。好的新诗应该是艺术地表现平民性情感的语言艺术。新诗应该在内容（写什么）上放开,实现真正的多元,形式（怎么写）上做适度限制,必须重视诗家语和诗体等诗的基本文体特征,重视诗的艺术性。没有好诗人就没有好诗,与其对新诗提出标准不如对新诗诗人提出标准,应该适度提高新诗行业的“准入”难度,新诗诗人应该过语言关、诗的知识关和诗的技巧关,诗人要重视学养、技巧、难度和高度。诗人写作需要重视“想象”和“意象”。     

论高等教育合同的基本问题

高等教育合同属于民事合同,主要调整高等学校与受教育者之间的民事关系。高等教育合同的履行是一个非常复杂的问题,需要从履行结果、履行主体、质量条款等方面进行厘清。在高等教育合同的订立阶段和履行阶段容易产生纠纷,各方当事人可以利用缔约过失责任和违约责任等法律手段来维护自己的权利。
