Does Downloading PowerPoint Slides Before the Lecture Lead to Better Student Achievement?: Reply
No full textThis reply responds to a comment by Cannon (2011) that opens the debate on consistency of the effect of downloading PowerPoint slides before lectures on students’ exam performance. Cannon (2011) points out potential endogeneity problems in Chen and Lin (2008) and attempts to explore the unconditional mean effect of downloading PowerPoint slides for the full sample. In this reply, we firstly argue that the estimates in our original article are consistent since the effect of interest is the “conditional†treatment effect but not the unconditional mean effect. We provide explanations for our rationale of estimating the “conditional†treatment effect. Secondly, we propose a modified downloading variable to replicate Cannon’s analysis. Our results suggest that downloading PowerPoint slides before the exam does not produce a significant effect on absent students’ exam performance which is different from the results in Cannon (2011). Our analysis does support Cannon’s argument that students fixed effects are different across different attendance status.
Using Google Analytics for improving library website content and design: a case study
No full textGoogle Analytics is a free web analytics solution that provides webmasters with insightful information about how visitors find and interact with their websites. In this case study, we have experimented in using Google Analytics to analyze two of our websites: The Rutgers-Newark Law Library main website and The New Jersey Digital Legal Library website. It was used to monitor our visitors' browsing activities and viewing behaviors for three months. Based on our findings from Google Analytics reports, we have redesigned our website. Subsequent data collected by Google Analytics have confirmed that our new design better fits the information needs of our visitors and librarians. Google Analytics is very powerful and can be used for almost any website. We believe that other libraries will benefit from using Google Analytics as well. Limitations of Google Analytics are also discussed based on our experience with it.The published version of this article is available at: http://www.webpages.uidaho.edu/~mbolin/lpp2007.htm"June, 2007

No full textAs external pressure is applied to a pack of disordered particles, the system will be condensed into an amorphous jammed state possessing excess low-frequency vibrations and liquid-like mechanical responses, where the shear modulus (G) vanishes and the bulk modulus (K) holds a finite value. The criterion to judge whether such an ensemble of particles can be regarded as a continuous medium is still ambiguous due to the complexity of the system brought up by the non-affinity describing to what extent the internal particles tend to slide away from each other. In this article, by building the 2D packing derived networks, a ’liquid-solid’ transition governed by networks’ graph topology is investigated. This transition sheds a light on designing mechanical metamaterials, which permits one to separately tune its moduli or fix the Poisson ratio as well as enhance its stiffness. Our work reveals a more comprehensive understanding of how topological factors take effects on mechanical responses of randomly packing derived networks and provide more freedom in experimentally constructing tunable mechanical metamaterials.On the other hand, deformed Kagome lattices which perform fancy topological properties, are characterized by its polarization. This polarization can be calculated from its unit cell’s geometry. Domain wall between two kinds of polarization lattices can be either self-stress state or soft mode. Self-stress states, in which net force is zero with nonzero structural elements forces play an important role in load-bearing ability of ideal central-force networks’ structures and network consisting of real materials with bending forces. Soft mode demonstrated as a deformation of the structure with zero elements forces is a zero-frequency vibrational mode with zero vibrational energy. By tailoring the localization of self-stress states and soft modes, we can achieve diverse mechanical properties such as certain buckling of selective elements, particular force chains in the structure and vibration transformation along chosen path.當外部壓力施加到一堆無序的顆粒上時，该 系統 会 凝 聚 為 非晶体的阻塞 形 態， 这时体 系 具有 大 量的低頻振動 模式 和類似液體的機械響應 状态 此时该体系的 剪切模量（ G ）消失，體積模量 K 为 有限的值。由於非 仿射 性描述 的 內部顆粒趨向於彼此滑動離開的程度所帶來的系統的複雜性，判斷這種顆粒的整體是否可以視為連續介質的標準仍然不明確。在本文中，通過構建 2D 堆積 衍生網絡，研究了由網絡圖拓撲控制的 液固 過渡。這一轉變為機械超材料的設計提供了啟示，它使人們可以分別調整其模量或固定泊鬆比並增強其強度。我們的工作揭示了對拓撲因素如何影響隨機堆積派生網絡的機械響 應的更全面的理解，並為實驗構造可調機械超材料 提供了更多自由。另一方面，表現出奇特的拓撲特性的變形的Kagome 晶格的特徵是其極化。極化可以根據其晶胞的幾何形狀來計算。兩種極化晶格之間的疇壁可以是自應力狀態或軟模式。在自應力狀態下，淨力為零且結構元素非零，力在理想的中心力網絡的結構和由具有彎曲力的真實材料組成的網絡的承載能力中起著重要作用。 已經 證明具有零元素力的結構變形的軟模式是具有零振動能量的零頻率振動模式。通過調整自應力狀態和軟模式的局部化，我們可以實現多種機械性能，例如選擇元件的某些屈曲，結構中特定的力鏈以及沿選定路徑的振動轉換。Fang, Chenchao = 基於非仿射到仿射轉變的可控彈性特性和拓撲超構材料編輯 / 房臣超.Ph.D. Chinese University of Hong Kong 2020.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 76-91).Abstracts also in Chinese.Title from PDF title page (viewed on October 19, 2022).Fang, Chenchao = Ji yu fei fang she dao fang she zhuan bian de ke kong dan xing te xing he tuo pu chao gou cai liao bian ji / Fang Chenchao
From Dong-fang Shuo to Sun Wu-kong
No full textThis is a famous episode in the Xi-you-ji 西遊記 that Sun Wu-kong steals peaches from the Queen of the West 西王母, and as you know, originally the thief was Dong-fang Shuo who served under the Emperor Wu 武帝 of the Han 漢 dynasty in history. Taoists said that Dong-fang Shuo is exiled to the earth by the Queen of the West, and that he introduces the Emperor Wu, who wants to be immortal, to a lot of things about the west. The character of Dong-fang Shuo arranged by Taoists reminds us of Hou Xing-zhe 猴行者, the antecedent of Sun Wu-kong, in the Da-Tang San-zang qu-jing shi-hua 大唐三藏取經詩話. Hou Xing-zhe steals peaches from the Queen of the West and is banished from heaven, subsequently he guides Tripitaka Xuan-zang 玄奘三藏 to the west for the purpose of obtaining Buddhist scriptures. The author points out that Buddhists adapted the Taoist character of Dong-fang Shuo as a guide to Hou xing-zhe when they described the pilgrimage and ascentation of Tripikata Xuan-zang. Before giving this view, the author discusses Ju-ling 巨靈, who fights with Sun Wu-kong as a general in the Xi-you-ji. Ju-ling was depicted by Taoists as a dwarf who is a messenger of the Queen of the West and is exposed by Dong-fang Shuo. Going back to the Han dynasty, Ju-ling had two types of the original form, one was the God of canal works, and the other was a turtle which bears a holy mountain on its back. Moreover Ju-ling is now male, now female. The author pays attention to these multiple images of Ju-ling, and explore the origin of the so-called trapped monkey. Then in view of the "goddess and traveler" motif he analyzes the relationship between Dong-fang Shuo and the Queen of the West, as well as Sun Wu-kong and the Goddess of Mercy 觀音菩薩. This analysis shows us the evolution of Sun Wu-kong and the Goddess of Mercy from Dong-fang Shuo and the Queen of the West, which took place against the background of the race for power between Buddhists and Taoisits

corporation. The eight strategies were as follows：1. To learn competitors’
advantages；2. To integrate network’s professional specialties；3. To imitate
and satisfy customers’ needs；4. To get with laws and the environment；5. To
provide multiple learning ways；6.To exchange experiences between departments
；7. To share knowledge and skills in the department；8.To deliver knowledge
from top to down.
Suggestions:

2.To discuss other aspects of organizational learning；
3.To compare the differences of organizational learning strategies among high-
tech corporations.
The Malaysian Chinese homeland consciousness and Fang Beifang's novels
No full textThis article will discuss the transformation of homeland consciousness in Fang Beifang's novels against the background of the gradual localization of Malaysian Chinese literature. Begining with an immigrant identity in the early days, the Chinese gradually realized the importance of localization, and a patriotic consciousness emerged after Malaysia attained its independence. A prominent Malaysian Chinese author Fang Beifang based his works mainly on historical events, enriched with his personal experience and the flavor of the period. Fang Beifang's major works include The Trilogy of Wind and Cloud and The Trilogy of Torrent. The former is set during the anti-Japanese war in China, whereas the latter sums up his real life experiences in Malaya/Malaysia. His works record the Chinese's contribution to the development of Malaysia, as well as the national identity and political dilemmas faced by the Malaysian Chinese community
