Lighting the Shroud of Turin for Exhibition in 2015

ABSTRACT

Lighting a cultural heritage artifact requires balancing visual perception with preventive conservation, by providing the best lighting (in terms of spectral distribution and quantity) to enable the viewer to appreciate details and color, while limiting photo-induced degradation. The paper outlines the methodology applied by a multi-disciplinary team while lighting the Shroud of Turin at its last public exhibition in 2015. The methodology considered the special requirements of the Shroud, including exposure to ultraviolet light, while providing appropriate display conditions that would meet audience expectations. The desired appearance (readability of the body image and color) was defined with the help of Shroud researchers and confirmed by subjective tests, while appropriate light levels for preservation were set in agreement with standard requirements and using knowledge of the degradation of linen in visible and UV light. The installation provided a controlled environment and a managed visitor route to the Shroud, assuring excellent perception of both details and color, with the lowest illuminance level about 15?lx.     

Ecological Study of Graduation Rates and GPA in a Library Credit Course

The purpose of this ecological study was to examine the impact of a library credit course on graduation rates and GPA using pre-existing records. Over 20?years of aggregate institutional data were analyzed to evaluate the course's impact on first-time-full-time, white, and black students. Results were mixed: students who took the course were less likely to graduate than their peers who did not take the course but enjoyed slightly higher GPAs at graduation. It was discovered that students taking the course are not representative of the overall student body and struggle academically. Implications for revisions to the library credit course are discussed.     

Assessing the Benefits of Content Notes Enhancements for Digital Audio Resources

Our library has previously investigated the potential impact the addition of contents notes on circulation. In a subsequent study, we found contents notes were the second metadata element most heavily linked to circulation (title was first). Since there has been a marked decline in the use of print resources at our library and a corresponding increase in digital resources, we wanted to know if the addition of contents notes to records for online streaming audio files would result in a similar increase in usage. After enhancing the records, we tracked usage for a period of three months.

双端口存储器在加密机中的应用

本文论述一个由单片机和双端口存储器构成的加密机,阐述了加密机的工作原理和操作流程.由于双端口RAM的采用,支持中断机制,同步与协调控制单片机与算法单片机并行工作,双端口RAM弹性连接控制单片机与算法单片机,匹配它们的传输速率和处理能力,提高了加解密的处理效率,控制单片与主机之间可进行全双工通信,这样的传输可以节省控制单片机的时间,提高效率.     

高职专任师资实践能力建设的问题与构想

提升我国高职专任师资的实践能力,不仅关系到高职院校核心竞争能力的培育,更关系到当前社会对高技能人才巨大需求与供给矛盾的化解。针对高职专任师资实践能力薄弱的问题,政府、行业、企业和高职院校在加强高职专任师资实践能力建设上,应创新制度设计、加大经费投入、丰富培训资源、加强培训考核评价,以满足高职教育人才培养质量不断提高的新需要。     

“自学·议论·引导”教学法的基本原理与操作要义

自学·议论·引导包括以学定教、情智相生、活动致知、最近发展四个基本原理,以及以下四个操作要义:紧扣核心知识,促成知识生产;根据变化情境,融通多种策略;激活思维能量,优化学习品质;瞄准学力发展,奠基和谐人格。这些原理和要义在较大程度上与新课程基本理念相吻合,是对新课程精神的实践。     

求解非线性互补问题的两步迭代-Filter方法

利用牛顿迭代法作为预测步,用不动点迭代法作为修正步,结合filter技术,提出了求解非线性互补问题的两步迭代-filter算法,并证明了算法的局部三阶收敛性,最后通过数值实验表明该算法的有效性.     

不具传递性偏好的效用函数表示

主要是对参与人的被选方案集作些规定以及不具传递性的偏好作一些限制,得到了一些效用函数表示结果,统一和推广了许多已知结果。
