This paper investigates the interpersonal meanings in Chinese cosmetic advertising discourse from mood, modality and appraise the three aspects. Based on an exploratory study of data of six typical Chinese cosmetic advertising discourses, the paper claims that the distribution of mood and modality has close link with the interpersonal meaning in advertising. The Functional Grammar and Appraisal System help to reveal the interpersonal meanings of the discourse concerned.展开更多

Compared with most existing tanh methods for finding travelling wave solutions, the proposed method not only recovers the results by most known algebraic methods, but also provides new and more general solutions. We choose the generalized Burgers-Fisher equation with nonlinear terms of any order to illustrate our method. As a result, we obtain several new kinds of exact solutions for the equation. This approach can also be applied to other nonlinear evolution equations with nonlinear terms of any order.展开更多

Passing from a general review to the illustration of the background project, named MUSINT, the authors underline the objectives. The present case study primarily aims to share information about valuable archaeological collections which have little visibility. To enhance the project's contents, which include a whole set of different artifacts, the authors have reproduced high resolution, faithful and measurable digital models on one side, and on the other, lower resolution and geometrically simplified models are yet completed and very close to reality. The former are meant to implement a scholars' archive for further scientific activity. The latter to provide content for virtual exhibitions on the Web or on stand-alone interfaces situated in the actual physical museum spaces. The data acquisition and post-processing methods which have been tested and chosen are here briefly described. Hence, the authors then give an account of the most recurrent problematic issues of the established work-flow and how they should be solved. Touched instances are the delicate placing of the artifacts, which must be digitized, in relation to the triangulation-based laser scanner's functionality, the refining operations in order to build a coherent single polygon mesh, the most effective ways to deal with unavoidable missing parts or defected textures in the generated model and so on.展开更多

Poe's unique symbolic method as manifested in his tale The Masque of the Red Death. It offers a picture of the general state of critical treatment of the supposed opposition between allegory and symbol. I present a historical overview of how the distinction between the literary terms arose, tracing the roots of the issue to the end of the 18th century and showing its development over the next two centuries. The second section of the paper is devoted to the analysis of The Masque in the light of the theoretical background provided in the opening section. The Masque is interpreted in terms of Poe's modulation of"closed" and "open" symbolism by focusing on aspects of the story that relate to the use of numbers, colors, and time.展开更多

The irreversibility due to heat transfer and friction was taken into account so that the minimum entropy generation number has been analyzed with respect to second law of thermodynamics in the forced cross-flow. The optimum dimensions of cylinder pins were discussed. It's found that the minimum entropy generation number depends on parameters related to the fluid and fin physical parameters. Varlatioms of the minimum entropy generation number with different parameters were analyzed.展开更多

As a result, many linear methods and nonlinear methods have been developed. But the methods for processing generalized nonlinear surveying and mapping data, especially for different data types and including unknown parameters with random or nonrandom, are seldom noticed. A new algorithm model is presented in this paper for processing nonlinear dynamic multiple-period and multiple-accuracy data derived from deformation monitoring network.展开更多

The traditional mode of teaching with lectures, still present in many subjects of the engineering, seems to favor the development of the necessary skills, as active use of knowledge required [ 1 ]. However, they are using simulation games as an educational method in many universities in the world for the advantages they present for learning and the development of various skills, to simulate specific situations of professional activity [2]. This paper presents some background and requirements that games must meet educational purposes and propose their use in subjects related to economics, management and organization of production engineering programs where you can teach and learn from building products with simple items like cardboard paper on the theory of constructionism to build a product where people are building theories and knowledge in the mind [3]. The use of games is not widespread in universities in Argentina, however you can generate more motivating learning situations as it leaves the board becoming less abstract and more concrete learning. Classroom climate changes as students take a more participatory role and the teacher intervenes as a guide or facilitator of learning. This work could motivate teachers and researchers to promote their use in teaching and in future research to evaluate the potential of its use as a learning tool.展开更多
