Student satisfaction with Canadian music programmes: the application of the American Customer Satisfaction Model in higher education

The purpose of this project is to empirically investigate several antecedents and consequences of student satisfaction (SS) with Canadian university music programmes as well as to measure students’ level of programme satisfaction. For this, the American Customer Satisfaction Model was tested through a survey of 276 current Canadian music students. The results indicate that customer satisfaction is strongly affected by programme quality, is slightly impacted by its perceived value but is not influenced by prior student expectations. Satisfaction strongly increases programme loyalty and positive word‐of‐mouth, marginally raises tuition change loyalty, and slightly decreases complaining behaviour. Contrary to expectations, tuition‐related constructs play only a minor role in the model. Therefore, money is a marginal factor in the educational environment; this empirically demonstrates the flaws underlying the premises of the students‐as‐customers metaphor. The resulting satisfaction index may facilitate the comparison among institutions. It was also found that the level of SS with Canadian music programmes was somewhat lower than those with services in other industries.     

青藏高原夏季降水与东亚、南亚夏季风相关程度的空间格局

基于CRU_TS4.0数据、东亚夏季风指数和南亚夏季风指数,使用偏相关分析方法,分析青藏高原1970-2014年间夏季（6-8月）降水的变化趋势及其对东亚夏季风（EASM）和南亚夏季风（SASM）响应的格局。结果表明：SASM与青藏高原夏季降水显著性相关的范围要明显大于EASM,SASM正相关区域位于青藏高原南部地区,负相关区域位于正相关区域外围、高大山体后部的高原西缘、中部和北部地区。EASM与高原夏季降水正相关区域集中分布于柴达木盆地,负相关区域面积较大,主要位于高原的中部和西部地区。

A hybrid point cloud alignment method combining particle swarm optimization and iterative closest point method

3D quality inspection is widely applied in many industrial fields including mould design, automotive and blade manufacturing, etc. A commonly used method is to obtain the point cloud of the inspected object and make a comparison between the point cloud and the corresponding CAD model or template. Thus, it is important to align the point cloud with the template first and foremost. Moreover, for the purpose of automatization of quality inspection, this alignment process is expected to be completed without manual interference. In this paper, we propose to combine the particle swarm optimization （PSO） with iterative closest point （ICP） algorithm to achieve the automated point cloud alignment. The combination of the two algorithms can achieve a balance between the alignment speed and accuracy, and avoid the local optimal caused by bad initial position of the point cloud.
