Education Fair is the current composition content of China＇s basic education dream. Practicing ＂No Child Left Behind＂ education is the cornerstone to achieve China＇s fair education dream. Making implementing continuing education in order to achieve ＂No Child Left Behind＂ equitable education as a research issue, based on analyzing the status and problems of educational equity issues under the perspective of NCLB, the author explored the realistic way through multi-channel and diverse continuing education to achieve ＂No Child Left Behind ＂equitable education.展开更多

The complete Chinese version by Yang Bi published by People＇s Literature Press in 1957 was a great success. From many Chinese version of Vanity Fair, we may find that Yang Bi＇s translation is a perfect one. It is a best-ever version of all the possible versions that have been and might be produced in the future. Through analyzing Yang Bi＇s version, the choice of words, the use of four-character phrases, colloquial word in conversation, modal particles are the main reasons for the success ofYang Bi＇ s version and it＇ s long-standing popularity.展开更多

Especially in the ter-minal sliding AQM algorithm, a special nonlinear terminal sliding surface is designed in order to force queue length to reach the desired value in finite time. The upper bound of the time is also obtained. Simulation re-sults demonstrate that the proposed congestion algorithm enables the system be better transient and stable performance. At the same time, the robustness is guaranteed.展开更多
