The following study uses a systematic content analysis of 100 top-rated U.S. children＇s television programs to explore the tangential relationship （i.e., distance） of narrative and educational content through the lens of the capacity model--which is built upon three basic components： narrative content, educational content, and the distance between them. Programs were analyzed for distance by examining lesson clarity and integration, show type, target audience age, and station type. One-way ANOVAs indicates significant differences between the means of these variables. Programs targeting younger children presented educational content that was closely integrated into the plotline of the program and helped further the story. However, as the target audience aged, the educational content became more tangential to the narrative content and was less tied to the plotline of the program.展开更多

Although evolving transmission techniques are able to enlarge the network capacity to some degree, they still cannot satisfy the requirements of mobile users. Meanwhile, following Moore's Law, the data processing capabilities of mobile user terminals are continuously improving. In this paper, we explore possible methods of trading strong computational power at wireless terminals for transmission efficiency of communications. Taking the specific scenario of wireless video conversation, we propose a model-based video coding scheme by learning the structures in multimedia contents. Benefiting from both strong computing capability and pre-learned model priors, only low-dimensional parameters need to be transmitted; and the intact multimedia contents can also be reconstructed at the receivers in real-time. Experiment results indicate that, compared to conventional video codecs, the proposed scheme significantly reduces the data rate with the aid of computational capability at wireless terminals.展开更多

In language teaching, teaching materials play an important role. To a great extent, they determine the content and approaches of teaching and learning and affect the quality of language education. The author of this paper makes a tentative analysis of the compilation principles of EST teaching materials, from the perspective of students, scientific and technological discipline, and the English language, highlighting the content of teaching and the motivation of students. This paper proposes the Principles of Interest, Life-Long Development, Appropriateness, Systematization, Cognitive Scientificalness, Illumination, Integration of Abstract Knowledge and Specific Cases, Authenticity, Timeliness, and Comprehensive Improvement, so as to improve both subject competence and linguistic ability展开更多

In recent years content-based instruction has become increasingly popular as a means of developing linguistic ability. It has strong connections to project work, task-based learning and a holistic approach to language instruction and has become particularly popular within the state school secondary （11 - 16 years old） education sector. This paper discusses about the definition, types, ways to create a CBI lesson, advantages and the problems of CBI, as well as the assessment of CBI.展开更多

A PETN （pentaerythritol tetranitrate） pellet of 1.4 g near the model wall was detonated on a steel plate. A water-filled container was placed between the explosive and the wall. The pressure histories at six points, which corresponded to Hopkinson scaled distance of from 3.6 m·kg^-1/3 to 21.7 m·kg^-1/3 were evaluated along with dependence of mitigation effects on the amount of water and the position of the container. The presence of the water and the wall mitigated the peak overpressure near the explosion points and the positive impulse along all points. The mitigation effect was equivalent to 20-30% reduction of explosive weight based on discussion of the equivalent ratio. The presence of the water along the wall （not very close to the explosive） also mitigated the blast pressure.展开更多
