    Interactively using Semantic Web knowledge: Creating scalable abstractions with FacetOntology

    No full text
    The amount of knowledge accessible on the Semantic Web is growing, and there is a need for a scalable solution to facilitate exploring that data. Currently approaches to exploring Semantic Web data either focus on exploring resources individually, following links during exploration, and making little use of collated data, or take the approach of collating and aligning multiple sources into one store for one purpose, and hand-crafting a specific browsing interface onto it. We present an approach that provides a scalable browsing interface, which can browse knowledge from the Semantic Web at will. Our approach creates abstractions of knowledge, collated into facets, which are described using FacetOntology. FacetOntology facilitates describing facets from RDF data, suitable for use in creating datasets for faceted browsing

    Tropical convective transport and the Walker circulation

    No full text
    We introduce a methodology to visualise rapid vertical and zonal tropical transport pathways. Using prescribed sea-surface temperatures in four monthly model integrations for 2005, we characterise preferred transport routes from the troposphere to the stratosphere in a high resolution climate model. Most efficient transport is modelled over the Maritime Continent (MC) in November and February, i.e., boreal winter. In these months, the ascending branch of the Walker Circulation over the MC is formed in conjunction with strong deep convection, allowing fast transport into the stratosphere. In the model the upper tropospheric zonal winds associated with the Walker Circulation are also greatest in these months in agreement with ERA-Interim reanalysis data. We conclude that the Walker circulation plays an important role in the seasonality of fast tropical transport from the lower and middle troposphere to the upper troposphere and so impacts at the same time the potential supply of surface emissions to the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) and subsequently to the stratosphere

    Understanding the role of metacognition and working memory in maths achievement

    No full text
    Recent increases in youth unemployment have driven reforms to educational provision. This has created an increased focus on gaining a formal qualification in maths because it affects access to jobs/course places. These governmental reforms have placed a heightened responsibility on schools to provide appropriate interventions to meet pupils’ needs. Theoretical models developed to understand what affects maths achievement have highlighted the importance of providing appropriate learning opportunities to develop requisite cognitive skills of Working Memory (WM) and Metacognition (MC). Support has been found for these models through correlational research demonstrating the link between WM, MC and maths. Studies have also shown that anxiety, both general and maths specific can interact with WM and MC to affect performance in maths. A review of research indicated that WM training and MC interventions delivered in a maths context can contribute to improved maths achievement, however none of these studies considered the effect of anxiety. The current empirical study examined the effect on 13 and 14 year olds’ maths achievement of WM training (CogMed) and a MC intervention (in the form of one-to-one tutoring). Maths achievement, WM, MC and anxiety (maths and general) were measured at pre, post and follow-up (8 weeks) to explore their contribution to maths achievement. Significant improvements for both intervention groups from pre to post and from pre to follow-up were found for WM and maths achievement. A significant reduction in maths anxiety was found in both groups over the same timescale, but there were no significant changes in MC or general anxiety. Evidence was found for a link between changes in WM and general anxiety and a link between changes in MC and maths anxiety. Results are discussed in relation to understanding what factors are important in the observed changes, and implications for educational interventions are considered

    Growth Morphologies and Mechanisms of Non-Equilibrium Solidified MC Carbide

    No full text
    Growth morphologies and mechanisms of the carbide of group IVB and VB elements (MC carbide), a typical faceted crystal, were studied with an estimated cooling rate from 102 to 105 K/s. Results showed that although the growth morphologies of the MC carbide vary remarkably with solidification cooling rate, the solid/liquid interface is always atomically smooth, and the growth mechanisms are always lateral growth. The growth mechanism transition from lateral to continuous growth mode, which was predicted by the classic crystal growth theory, was not observed for the TiC type MC carbide within the estimated cooling rate range of 102?105 K/s
