In this paper, the fuzzy discrete event system (FDES) is introduced to the research of AC energy-saving control. A fuzzy automaton modeling is given for AC energy-saving control and effectiveness optimization is made. To facilitate the implement of the control and energy saving, priorities have been assigned to the major control steps based on logical reasoning. Forward-looking tree modeling based on FDES has been simplified to help further optimization, and a simple and concrete example has been put forward illustrating energy-saving control in AC system.展开更多

A sequence of three activities with the support of software Fathom was presented to the teachers in a course to investigate about the reasoning that teachers develop about the data analysis, particularly about the distribution concept, that involves important concepts such as averages, variability and graphics representations. The design of the activities was planned so that the teachers analyzed quantitative variables separately first, and later made an analysis of a qualitative variable versus a quantitative variable with the objective of establishing comparisons between distributions and use concepts as averages, variability, shape and outliers. The instructions in each activity indicated to the teachers to use all the resources of the software that were necessary to make the complete analysis and respond to certain questions that pretended to capture the type of representations they used to answer. The results indicate that despite the abundance of representations provided by the software, teachers focu,; on the calculation of averages to describe and compare distributions, rather than on the important properties of data such as variability, ：shape and outliers. Many teachers were able to build interesting graphs reflecting important properties of the data, but cannot use them 1：o support data analysis. Hence, it is necessary to extend the teachers＇ understanding on data analysis so they can take advantage of the cognitive potential that computer tools to offer.展开更多
