In this paper, we use a new optical hand tracking sensor, LeapMotion, to perform a non-contact demonstration for robotic systems. A Multi-LeapMotion hand tracking system is developed. The setup of the two sensors is analyzed to gain a optimal way for efficiently use the informations from the two sensors. Meanwhile, the coordinate systems of the Mult-LeapMotion hand tracking device and the robotic demonstration system are developed. With the recognition to the element actions and the delay calibration, the fusion principles are developed to get the improved and corrected gesture recognition.

In this research, students having online classes of a practical-based fabric design subject were encouraged to self-study from Open Educational Resource (OER) materials for a further and better understanding of their subject. Additionally, online materials were developed to improve students’ understanding via skill of digital literacy. Their learning progress was evaluated and compared to the face-to-face version. The majority of students found online classes combined with self-studying OER materials, potentially be a substitute for face-to-face classes. Most of the students further opined different OER videos assisted them without any face-to-face instructions in practical works, to develop new fabric samples from the inspiration. Analysis of test results, and comparison of students’ final grades with different learning modes, supported these phenomena.展开更多

Soil samples were collected from 0 - 20 cm and 21 - 40 cm depth of rubber plantations in Wenchang area of Hainan Province to determine the soil ammonium nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen in March, June, September and December. The results showed that the total available nitrogen in the rubber plantation soil was mainly composed of nitrate nitrogen (>57%), and this nitrate nitrogen was always the absolute composition advantage in the total available nitrogen composition, and this composition advantage did not change with the change of soil depth. Nitrate and ammonium nitrogen in rubber plantation soil showed obvious seasonal variation characteristics in 0 - 20 cm soil layer and 21 - 40 cm soil depth. With the seasonal time change, the contents of soil nitrate and ammonium nitrogen increased first and then decreased. Summer and autumn were the most active periods of soil nitrate and ammonium nitrogen.
