Multimedia search capabilities of Chinese language search engines

This paper reports results from a study exploring the multimedia search functionality of Chinese language search engines. Web searching in Chinese (Mandarin) is a growing research area and a technical challenge for popular commercial Web search engines. Few studies have been conducted on Chinese language search engines. We investigate two research questions: which Chinese language search engines provide multimedia searching, and what multimedia search functionalities are available in Chinese language Web search engines. Specifically, we examine each Web search engine’s (1) features permitting Chinese language multimedia searches, (2) extent of search personalization and user control of multimedia search variables, and (3) the relationships between Web search engines and their features in the Chinese context. Key findings show that Chinese language Web search engines offer limited multimedia search functionality, and general search engines provide a wider range of features than specialized multimedia search engines. Study results have implications for Chinese Web users, Website designers and Web search engine developers.

改进搜索引擎及其数据结构的设计

针对传统搜索引擎在搜索过程中产生的临时文件多、占用磁盘空间大的问题,本文改进了搜索引擎的数据结构,采用索引压缩技术减少了临时文件,提高了检索效率。     

企业平衡式创新搜寻及其阶段效应-间断性平衡还是同时性平衡？

开放式创新要求企业跨越组织边界搜寻外部知识。为了识别“前瞻-反应型”二元搜寻平衡与企业发展阶段的动态匹配规律,基于我国中小企业调查样本进行实证分析,结果发现：平衡式搜寻对创新绩效具有显著的正向影响,但是企业在初创期和成长期的二元搜寻平衡模式存在差异。在初创期,前瞻型与反应型两类搜寻策略间不存在互补效应,且二元均衡程度过高或差异过大,均不利于企业创新;而在成长期,前瞻型与反应型两类搜寻策略间存在互补效应,且同时性平衡程度越高,创新绩效越好。据此探讨了企业在不同阶段的最佳平衡模式,即初创期的企业选择“间断性平衡”较为合适,进入成长期后,企业需要将平衡模式转换为“同时性平衡”。     

试论搜索引擎的技术改进

作为当前网络信息资源的重要检索工具 ,搜索引擎问世以来已得到广泛使用。作为一个新生事物 ,搜索引擎技术得到了快速发展 ,但同时也在广大网络用户的频繁使用中 ,逐渐暴露出其存在的各种各样的问题。本文主要从 3个不同方面探讨对搜索引擎进行技术改进的方法与思路。1　搜索引擎工作模式的改变众所周知 ,Ｗｅｂ最初是作为欧洲粒子物理研究中心(ＣＥＲＮ)内部的协作环境而诞生的 ,其分布式协作特性已成为全球信息共享的基础。但值得注意的是 ,基于Ｗｅｂ的一些信息应用系统采用的却是传统的集中式处理模式 ,以致这种集中式处理与Ｗｅｂ的分…     

在大学中实行多媒体教学的探讨

对多媒体教学方式在大学教学应用中的现状进行了调查，调查结果表明92％的学生认为传统教学方式与多媒体教学相结合的方式是最好的教学方式，同时阐述学生对这种教学方式的态度，并对在多媒体教学效果方面存在的问题加以剖析，并提出具体的教学建议。

劳动力市场分割与大学毕业生失业

具有大学以上学历者占我国全部劳动者的比例非常低 ,但最近几年大学毕业生找工作却有越来越难的趋势。这种看似矛盾的现象是转型过程中劳动力市场分割这一制度背景下 ,大学毕业生与用人单位相互搜寻的结果。过大的城乡收入差距和过高的工作转换成本 ,使大学毕业生“宁要城里一张床 ,不要农村一幢房”,但城里的用人单位却因过高的解聘成本和户口成本而不能吸收更多的大学毕业生。因此 ,大学毕业生就业难的缓解和解决 ,要依赖经济发展 ,也离不开体制改革     

The impact of physiological load on anticipation skills in badminton: From testing to training

Research remains unclear on the impact of physiological load on perceptual-cognitive skills in sport. Moreover, no study has examined the training of perceptual-cognitive skills under physiological load. The current study comprised two phases. Firstly, we examined the impact of badminton-specific physiological load on anticipatory skills in expert badminton players (n = 13), including key underlying mechanisms, such as gaze behaviour. Under high physiological load, participants displayed less efficient visual search behaviour and showed a reduction in response accuracy. Secondly, we examined the effects of combining perceptual-cognitive simulation training with the high physiological load. Ten of the expert badminton players were assigned to a combined training group, where the simulation training and the physiological load intervention occurred simultaneously or an independent training group, whereby the two components were completed independently. The combined training group showed a positive change in the efficiency of their visual search behaviours compared to the independent training group, but no significant performance improvements were found. Overall, findings demonstrate that high physiological load is detrimental to experts’ anticipatory skills. However, combining perceptual-cognitive simulation training with high physiological load can potentially negate these debilitating effects.     

A comparison of visual search strategies of elite and non-elite tennis players through cluster analysis

Considerable research has documented that successful performance in interceptive tasks (such as return of serve in tennis) is based on the performers’ capability to capture appropriate anticipatory information prior to the flight path of the approaching object. Athletes of higher skill tend to fixate on different locations in the playing environment prior to initiation of a skill than their lesser skilled counterparts. The purpose of this study was to examine visual search behaviour strategies of elite (world ranked) tennis players and non-ranked competitive tennis players (n = 43) utilising cluster analysis. The results of hierarchical (Ward’s method) and nonhierarchical (k means) cluster analyses revealed three different clusters. The clustering method distinguished visual behaviour of high, middle-and low-ranked players. Specifically, high-ranked players demonstrated longer mean fixation duration and lower variation of visual search than middle-and low-ranked players. In conclusion, the results demonstrated that cluster analysis is a useful tool for detecting and analysing the areas of interest for use in experimental analysis of expertise and to distinguish visual search variables among participants’.
