文摘A second rain belt sometimes occurs ahead of a frontal rain belt in the warm sector over coastal South China,leading to heavy precipitation.We examined the differences in the mesoscale characteristics and microphysics of the frontal and warm sector rain belts that occurred in South China on May 10–13,2022.The southern rain belt occurred in an environment with favorable mesoscale conditions but weak large-scale forcing.In contrast,the northern rain belt was related to low-level horizontal shear and the surface-level front.The interaction between the enhanced southeasterly winds and the rainfall-induced cold pool promoted the persistent growth of convection along the southern rain belt.The convective cell propagated east over the coastal area,where there was a large temperature gradient.The bow-shaped echo in this region may be closely related to the rear-inflow jet.By contrast,the initial convection of the northern rain belt was triggered along the front and the region of low-level horizontal shear,with mesoscale interactions between the enhanced warm-moist southeasterly airflow and the cold dome associated with the earlier rain.The terrain blocked the movement of the cold pool,resulting in the stagnation of the frontal convective cell at an early stage.Subsequently,a meso-γ-scale vortex formed during the rapid movement of the convective cell,corresponding to an enhancement of precipitation.The representative raindrop spectra for the southern rain belt were characterized by a greater number and higher density of raindrops than the northern rain belt,even though both resulted in comparable hourly rainfalls.These results help us better understand the characteristics of double rain belts over South China.

文摘The guiding opinions of the Ministry of Education on deepening the reform of education and teaching emphasize the in-depth combination of information technology and education.To encourage different types of small custom application online courses in colleges and universities,the campus intercollegiate online hybrid teaching,and promote the student-centered teaching and learning methods change.In response to the requirements of reform,this study introduced rain classroom as a mobile teaching method into the first-year basic Japanese teaching in colleges and universities,and conducted the mixed classroom practice under the module teaching theory.The practical results show that the introduction of basic Japanese teaching in rain classroom has greatly improved students’learning enthusiasm and achieved good teaching results.At the same time,as a mobile teaching means,rain classroom is connected online and offline;data integration,teaching management integration,and other aspects still have room for improvement.
文摘Under the flipped classroom teaching theory, the aim of this paper is to explore whether the teaching model of“student-oriented, teacher-led” can help improve the learning effect of Japanese major students by adopting themixed online and offline teaching method of rain classroom. Two Japanese majors classes of Grade 19 in BISUwere taken as the research objects of the one-semester comparative experiment. The study found there wereobvious differences in learning effect and learning experience between the two classes. The experiment proves thatthe role of teachers in flipped classroom is more obvious than that of traditional teaching. If teachers can activelyplay the role of teacher-student interaction, Japanese professional level of the students can be effectively improved.

文摘AIM:To evaluate the flipped classroom model for teaching horizontal strabismus didactics in an ophthalmology residency program in China as part of a visiting professorship from the United States.METHODS:Residents from an ophthalmology residency program in China were invited to participate in flipped classroom sessions taught by an experienced American ophthalmology faculty in 2018.Residents were instructed to watch a pre-class video lecture prior to the in-class-casebased activity.Content tests(5 Ophthalmic Knowledge Assessment Program style questions)and surveys were administered before and after the classroom sessions(100%response rate).These results were compared to that of an American cohort who were taught the same content.RESULTS:The Chinese cohort of 12 residents preferred the flipped classroom to the traditional classroom at higher rates than the American cohort of 40 residents(92%vs 55%,P=0.04)and felt that all ophthalmology topics would be appropriate for the flipped classroom teaching style(P-values between 0.008 and<0.001).In both Chinese and American cohorts,we found that the exotropia curriculum saw a small but significant improvement in performance following the flipped classroom session(P=0.025 for Chinese residents;P=0.001 for US residents),whereas scores in both groups for the esotropia course did not significantly improve.CONCLUSION:This is the first study to evaluate the flipped classroom model implemented by a visiting ophthalmology professor in a global outreach setting.The flipped classroom sessions are viewed favorably by the Chinese residents relative to the US cohort with a modest impact on knowledge.Decreased in-person interpreter requirement and increased student engagement make this model valuable in cross-cultural visiting professorship settings.Finally,the flipped classroom may lend itself well to a virtual format to prevent the transmission of COVID-19,although such a format requires further study.
