浅谈如何在教学中培养学生“数感”

'数感'是既熟悉又陌生的一个概念。在英文中'NumberSense',可翻译成数感、数觉或数意识。人们在学习和生活实践中经常要和各种各样的数打交道,人们常常会有意识地将一事物、现象与数量建立联系。如走进教室,在我们面前的是两个集合,一个是学生的座位,一个是学生,有人会自然地将这两个集合作一下估计,不用计数,就可以知道这两个集合是否相等,这就是一种数感。那么,在教学中如何培养学生的'数感'呢?

Effect of local thermal sensation on whole-body thermal sensation under stable non-uniform environment

To reveal the principles of human thermal responses and find out the effects of body parts on whole-body thermal sensation,through a subjective survey,experimental investigations on human responses are carried out when a single body part is thermally stimulated.Cooling airflow is sent to seven body parts,respectively.Totally 94 samples are tested.To eliminate the obvious multicollinearity of thermal sensation among different body parts,the principal component regression approach is adopted to obtain the principal components for the body parts under different experimental conditions.Through regression and analysis of principal components,the weighting factors of the seven body parts are obtained.A predictive model on whole-body thermal sensation is obtained based on the weighting factors.The results show that the different characteristics of trunk and limbs are clearly seen.The weighting factors of local thermal sensation are integrated values,and there is little difference among values of different body parts.

Local anesthesia with ropivacaine for patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy

AIM:To investigate the effect of pain relief after infu-sion of ropivacaine at port sites at the end of surgery.METHODS:From October 2006 to September 2007,72 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC) were randomized into two groups of 36 patients.One group received ropivacaine infusion at the port sites at the end of LC and the other received normal saline.A visual analog scale was used to assess postoperative pain when the patient awakened in the operating room,6 and 24 h after surgery,and before discharge.The amount of analgesics use was also recorded.The demographics,laboratory data,hospital stay,and perioperative complications were compared between the two groups.RESULTS:There was no difference between the two groups preoperatively in terms of demographic and lab-oratory data.After surgery,similar operation time,blood loss,and no postoperative morbidity and mortality were observed in the two groups.However,a significantly lower pain score was observed in the patients undergo-ing LC with local anesthesia infusion at 1 h after LC and at discharge.Regarding analgesic use,the amount of meperidine used 1 h after LC and the total used during admission were lower in patients undergoing LC with local anesthesia infusion.This group also had a shorter hospital stay.CONCLUSION:Local anesthesia with ropivacaine at the port site in LC patients signif icantly decreased post-operative pain immediately.This explains the lower meperidine use and earlier discharge for these patients.

MULTI-WATERMARKING SCHEME FOR GROUP USERS BASED ON VISUAL CRYPTOGRAPHY

All watermarks are shared into shadow images using VCS(Visual Cryptography Scheme). Only one specific shadow (as a new watermark) is embedded into the host signal and the other ones are distributed to every user in each group as a key. In the watermarking extraction procedure, users in different group can obtain different watermark by combining their shadows with the extracted one from the watermarked signal. Analysis and experimental results show that the new watermarking method is novel, secure and robust.

Machine vision inspection of rice seed based on Hough transform

A machine vision system was developed to inspect the quality of rice seeds. Five varieties of Jinyou402, Shanyou10, Zhongyou207, Jiayou and IIyou were evaluated. The images of both sides of rice seed with black background and white background were acquired with the image processing system for identifying external features of rice seeds. Five image sets consisting of 600 original images each were obtained. Then a digital image processing algorithm based on Hough transform was developed to inspect the rice seeds with incompletely closed glumes. The algorithm was implemented with all image sets using a Matlab 6.5 procedure. The results showed that the algorithm achieved an average accuracy of 96% for normal seeds, 92% for seeds with fine fissure and 87% for seeds with incompletely closed glumes. The algorithm was proved to be applicable to different seed varieties and insensitive to the color of the background.

Prediction of Soil Depth from Digital Terrain Data by Integrating Statistical and Visual Approaches

Information about the spatial distribution of soil attributes is indispensable for many land resource management applications; however, the ability of soil maps to supply such information for modern modeling tools is questionable. The objectives of this study were to investigate the possibility of predicting soil depth using some terrain attributes derived from digital elevation models （DEMs） with geographic information systems （GIS） and to suggest an approach to predict other soil attributes. Soil depth was determined at 652 field observations over the A1-Muwaqqar Watershed （70 km2） in Jordan. Terrain attributes derived from 30-m resolution DEMs were utilized to predict soil depth. The results indicated that the use of multiple linear regression models within small watershed subdivisions enabled the prediction of soil depth with a difference of 50 cm for 77% of the field observations. The spatial distribution of the predicted soil depth was visually coincided and had good correlations with the spatial distribution of the classes amalgamating three terrain attributes, slope steepness, slope shape, and compound topographic index. These suggested that the modeling of soil-landscape relationships within small watershed subdivisions using the three terrain attributes was a promising approach to predict other soil attributes.

New Contour Detection Model Working on Gray-Scale Image of Blended Yarn Cross-Section

The traditional Contour Tracing algorithm works on the binary image. It is developed that a new model called Facula Diffusion which can work directly on gray-scaled images according to the principle of human vision. The diffusion operation is controlled by four factors including approximation, closing, length-limiting, and hit-rate. Based on this model, three shape indices, i. e., dimension index, abnormity index, and fluctuation index, were put forward to describe the shape of objects. The rule of shape indices selection was discussed subsequently. Finally, the fibers in polyester/cotton blended yam are classified and the blending ratio is determined.

Radiotherapy in Non-Functioning Pituitary Macroadenoma： Mansoura Experience

OBJECTIVE The current retrospective study aims to evaluate the management of non-functioning the assessment of experience on pituitary macroadenoma through clinical, biochemical, radiological features, and treatment outcome of patients, and to identify prognostic factors affecting progression-free survival （PFS）. METHODS Data of 55 patients macroadenoma presented to the with non-functioning pituitary Clinical Oncology and Nuclear Medicine department between 1998 and 2009 were investigated. RESULTS The most common symptom was visual disturbance （38.2%） followed by headache （27.3%）. The presence of male predominance was observed （1.4：1）. Ten patients received radio-therapy （RT） only. Extrasellar extension was the more common treatment. The overall response rate was 72.8% with completed response at 16.4%. Memory and intellectual sequelae were the most common late complications of treatment （14%）. The ten-year PFS was at 84.6%. PFS was found to be significantly better with higher dose of RT （up to 54 Gy）, treatment by both surgery and RT, absence of visual field defect, and tumor localized to sella, whereas it was not significantly affected by age and sex. CONCLUSION The data confirmed that the prevalence of mass effect and hypopituitarism in patients with non-functioning pituitary macroadenoma is elevated. Conventional external RT up to 54 Gy is safe and effective in controlling non-functioning pituitary macro- adenoma with tolerable and acceptable morbidity.

DCT based multipurpose watermarking technique for image copyright notification and protection

A multipurpose image watermarking technique based on DCT is proposed to notify and protect the copyright of digital products. In order to achieve this objective, the DCT coefficients of each image block are divided into two parts for embedding the visible and invisible watermarks. The visible watermark is embedded in each DC DCT coefficient and most of the AC DCT coefficients of every block, and the invisible watermark in the rest. Based on the characteristics of Human Visual System (HVS), the embedding strength of the visible watermark is varied in accordance with the underlying content of the host image. The invisible watermark is embedded in a quaternity of midrange frequencies. Experimental results show that the visible watermark is hard to remove and the invisible watermark is robust to common digital signal processing operations.

Enhancement of Microcalcifications Based on Fractal Techniques in Mammograms

Microcalcification clusters in mammograms are an important early sign of breast cancer. The enhancement of mieroealcifications in mammograms is one of the most important preprocessing techniques for the extraction of cluster mierocalcifications. In this paper, we present a novel method for the enhancement of microcalcifications. Firstly, the initial microcaleification edges were extracted by using kirsch edge operator, and the diseontinouse edges were linked by employing fi＇aetal teehnique, Then, the continuous closed edges of microcalcifications were filled by using seed filling algorithm. The pixel values of the filled region were replaced by the corresponding pixel values in the original image. Finally, the enhancement of microcalcifications in mammograms was achieved by adding the filled image to the original image. We evaluated the performance of our algorithm by using 50 regions of interesting （ROIs） with microcalcification clusters from DDSM database. The experiment results demonstrate that our CAD system can give better enhancement effect compared with other methods.

Conceptions of Intuition in Poincar6＇s Philosophy of Mathematics

The aim of this paper is to contribute to the identification and characterization of the various types of intuition put forward by Poincar6, taking his texts as a laboratory for looking for what intuition might be. I will stress that these diverse conceptions are mainly formulated in the context of Poincar6＇s controversies in opposition to logicism, to formalism, and in the context of Poincar6＇s very peculiar conventionalism. I will try to demonstrate that, in each case, Poincar~ comes close to a specific tradition （Kant, of course, but also Leibniz and Peirce）.
