文摘This study constructs a reflective feedback model based on a pedagogical agent(PA)and explores its impact on students’problem-solving ability and cognitive load.A quasi-experimental design was used in the study,with 84 students from a middle school selected as the research subjects(44 in the experimental group and 40 in the control group).The experimental group used the reflective feedback model,while the control group used the factual feedback model.The results show that,compared with factual feedback,the reflective feedback model based on the pedagogical agent significantly improves students’problem-solving ability,especially at the action and thinking levels.In addition,this model effectively reduces students’cognitive load,especially in terms of internal and external load.
文摘Objective: to establish multi-components by single marker (QAMS) and HPlC method for the determination of four substances (R, S) - Epigoitrin, Vitexicarpin, Indirubin and Artemisetin and to provide experimental basis for the quality standard of Compound Yizhihao Granules. Methods: the sample treatment method was improved, and HPLC external standard method was established for the determination of four substances in Compound Yizhihao Granules. The chromatographic column was Wondersil C18 (4.6mm×250mm, 5μm), the flow rate was 1.0mL/min, the check wavelength was 245nm, the column temperature was 30℃, the sample was 20 μL, the mobile phase was acetonitrile-water. The relative correction factors (RCF) of (R, S) - Epigoitrin, Vitexicarpin, Artemisetin were determined with Indirubin as internal reference. The RCF was used to calculate the content of the substance under test, and then the content of the substance under test was determined by the external standard method to verify the feasibility of the multi-components by single marker. Results: the treatment method of the test sample was as follows: solid-liquid ratio was 1:5. Ultrasound was 45 min, trichloromethane extraction, and steam dry concentration with methanol constant volume. The results showed that the good linear ranges of (R, S) - Epigoitrin, Vitexicarpin, Indirubin and Artemisetin were 5.15-103 μ g / mL, 5.005-100.1 μ g / mL, 0.5-10 μ g / mL and 0.5115-10.23 μ g / mL, respectively. The average recoveries were 95.19%, 95.73%, 90.75%, 91.65%. The relative correction factors (RCF) of (R, S) - Epigoitrin, Vitexicarpin, Artemisetin were determined with Indirubin as internal reference was 0.2%, 0.6% and 0.3%. And the relative error of multi-components by single marker and external standard method was less than 1%. Conclusion: the multi-components by single marker method (QAMS) is simple, stable and can be used for the determination of multiple substances in Compound Yizhihao Granules.

文摘The output feedback active disturbance rejection control of a valve-controlled cylinder electro-hydraulic servo system is investigated in this paper.First,a comprehensive nonlinear mathematical model that encompasses both matched and mismatched disturbances is formulated.Due to the fact that only position information can be measured,a linear Extended State Observer(ESO)is introduced to estimate unknown states and matched disturbances,while a dedicated disturbance observer is constructed to estimate mismatched disturbances.Different from the traditional observer results,the design of the disturbance observer used in this study is carried out under the constraint of output feedback.Furthermore,an output feedback nonlinear controller is proposed leveraging the aforementioned observers to achieve accurate trajectory tracking.To mitigate the inherent differential explosion problem of the traditional backstepping framework,a finite-time stable command filter is incorporated.Simultaneously,considering transient filtering errors,a set of error compensation signals are designed to counter their negative impact effectively.Theoretical analysis affirms that the proposed control strategy ensures the boundedness of all signals within the closed-loop system.Additionally,under the specific condition of only time-invariant disturbances in the system,the conclusion of asymptotic stability is established.Finally,the algorithm’s efficacy is validated through comparative experiments.
文摘BACKGROUND Patients with head and neck cancer often develop depressive symptoms during radiochemotherapy due to changes in saliva secretion,radiation-induced oral mucositis,and dysphagia.These symptoms significantly affect quality of life.Although existing nursing interventions provide some relief,they have limitations in improving swallowing function and developing coping strategies.AIM To evaluate the effectiveness of tongue pressure resistance feedback training combined with empowerment education in improving depressive symptoms and swallowing function in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing radiochemotherapy.METHODS This study included 110 patients with head and neck cancer who exhibited depressive symptoms and underwent radiochemotherapy at the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University between January 2021 and December 2023.Patients were randomly assigned to either a reference group or an experimental group,each comprising 55 patients.The reference group received routine care,whereas the experimental group received tongue pressure resistance feedback training and empowerment education.After 6 weeks of continuous intervention,comparisons were made between the two groups regarding depressive symptom scores,swallowing function,coping strategies,and quality of life,both pre-and post-intervention.RESULTS Following the intervention,both groups demonstrated decreased scores for depressive symptoms and swallowing function,with the experimental group showing a significantly greater reduction than the reference group(P<0.05).The experimental group also demonstrated higher confrontation scores and lower avoidance and submission scores for coping strategies than the reference group(P<0.05).Quality of life scores improved in both groups after the intervention,with the experimental group showing markedly higher scores than the reference group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION The combination of tongue pressure resistance feedback training and empowerment education is effective in alleviating depressive symptoms,enhancing swallowing function,optimizing coping strategies,and significantly improving the quality of life of patients with head and neck cancer undergoing radiochemotherapy.This approach shows promise for clinical applications and promotion.
文摘Written feedback in English writing classes serves as the primary mode of feedback.By comparing direct corrective feedback and indirect corrective feedback in addressing content and form,this paper argues that indirect corrective feedback better aligns with the needs of English majors.Multiple factors influence the choice of written feedback methods,and teachers should carefully select the most appropriate approach based on student characteristics to maximize the effectiveness of feedback.
文摘Although substantial research shows the effectiveness of written corrective feedback(WCF)in treating simple grammar structures,more research is still needed to refute Truscott’s claim that WCF may not work on complex grammar structures.Similarly,a previous body of research has shown that the degree of explicitness of feedback moderates the efficacy of WCF.However,most WCF studies have systematically manipulated only direct corrective feedback.The current study was therefore conducted to fill these gaps in the literature.To this end,five intact classes of Functional English were recruited and later randomly assigned to four treatment groups:DCF,DCF+ME,ICF,and ICF+ME,and one control group that received no feedback.All the groups took part in three WCF treatment sessions,during which they wrote two different pieces:a news report and a picture description.Later,only the treatment groups received the WCF.The WCF’s effectiveness was measured by writing tests and grammaticality judgment tasks(GJT).The results demonstrated that WCF helped L2 learners improve their grammatical accuracy of passive voice tenses.The study further showed that the group that received the most explicit type of WCF fared better than the ones that received the least explicit type of WCF.Important pedagogical implications for ESL/EFL teachers are discussed.
文摘This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the current feedback practices in Chinese college English as a foreign language(EFL)learners’writing classes,with a particular focus on understanding why students predominantly prefer teacher feedback to peer feedback.It identifies three major reasons shedding light on the underlying factors that make teacher feedback more appealing compared to other types of feedback.Considering the growing influence of online teaching,this study also proposes four practical solutions to enhance the effectiveness of feedback in the context of Chinese EFL learners’writing.The suggested solutions aim to address the challenges posed by online teaching while optimizing feedback mechanisms to support learners’writing development.Additionally,the author examines the potential of adopting a pluralistic feedback approach,which integrates teacher feedback,peer feedback,and online automated evaluation system to improve the overall feedback experience in the blended teaching environment.By combining these various feedback modes,the study explores their feasibility and effectiveness in enhancing the learning outcomes of Chinese EFL learners.The pluralistic feedback model is presented as a viable alternative that can address the limitations of relying solely on one-way teacher feedback,thus promoting a more dynamic and interactive learning process for college EFL learners in China.

文摘Hydrogels,owing to their porous network structure resembling the extracellular matrix(ECM),have become essential scaffold materials in the field of cartilage tissue engineering.Among them,gelatin methacrylate(GelMA)hydrogels are widely used in bioink development due to their excellent biocompatibility,biodegradability,and tunable photo-crosslinking properties.However,the high biocompatibility of pure GelMA often comes at the cost of mechanical strength,limiting its applicability in cartilage regeneration.To overcome this trade-off,this study developed composite bioinks based on GelMA,silk fibroin(SF),and polyethylene oxide(PEO)for fabricating porous hydrogel scaffolds,which were then systematically characterized in terms of morphology,porosity,hydrophilicity,mechanical strength,rheological behavior,printability,and cytocompatibility.In this design,PEO serves as a porogen to generate highly porous structures(porosity up to 88%),while SF compensates for the mechanical loss caused by PEO,enabling the scaffold to retain a compression strength of up to 29.10 kPa.Among the tested formulations,the 10%GelMA/1%SF/1.5%PEO(1%=0.01 g/mL)bioink exhibited excellent printability,mechanical integrity,and cytocompatibility,and it supported a robust deposition of collagenⅡand aggrecan by chondrocytes after printing.This work provides a versatile strategy for balancing the biocompatibility and mechanical robustness in bioinks,offering a promising platform for next-generation cartilage tissue engineering scaffolds.

文摘In the realm of nonlinear integrable systems,the presence of decompositions facilitates the establishment of linear superposition solutions and the derivation of novel coupled systems exhibiting nonlinear integrability.By focusing on single-component decompositions within the potential BKP hierarchy,it has been observed that specific linear superpositions of decomposition solutions remain consistent with the underlying equations.Moreover,through the implementation of multi-component decompositions within the potential BKP hierarchy,successful endeavors have been undertaken to formulate linear superposition solutions and novel coupled Kd V-type systems that resist decoupling via alterations in dependent variables.

文摘Multi-component transition group metal borides(MMB_(2))have become a research hotspot due to their new composition design concepts and superior properties compared with conventional ceramics.Most of the current methods,however,are complicated and time-consuming,the mass production remains a chal-lenge.Herein,we proposed a new high-efficiency strategy for synthesis of MMB_(2)using molten aluminum as the medium for the first time.The prepared Al-containing multi-component borides(TiZrHfNbTa)B_(2)microcrystals had a homogeneous composition with a hexagonal AlB_(2)structure and ultra-high hardness value of∼35.3 GPa,which was much higher than data reported in the literature and the rule of mix-ture estimations.Furthermore,combined with the First-principles calculation results,we found that the Poisson’s ratio(v)values exhibit a clearly ascending trend from 0.17 at VEC=3.5 to 0.18 at VEC=3.4,then to 0.201 at VEC=3.2 with the increasing of Al content.This indicates that the intrinsic toughness of multi-component boride microcrystals is obviously enhanced by the trace-doped Al elements.Besides,the fabricated Al-containing multi-component boride microcrystals have superior oxidation activation en-ergy and structural stability.The enhanced oxidation resistance is mainly attributed to the formation of a protective Al2 O3 oxide layer and the lattice distortion,both of which lead to sluggish diffusion of O_(2).These findings propose a new unexplored avenue for the fabrication of MMB_(2)materials with supe-rior comprehensive performance including ultra-hardness and intrinsically improved thermo-mechanical properties.
文摘In order to identify the tilt direction of the self-mixing signals under weak feedback regime interfered by noise,a deep learning method is proposed.The one-dimensional U-Net(1D U-Net)neural network can identify the direction of the self-mixing fringes accurately and quickly.In the process of measurement,the measurement signal can be normalized and then the neural network can be used to discriminate the direction.Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method is suitable for self-mixing interference signals with noise in the whole weak feedback regime,and can maintain a high discrimination accuracy for signals interfered by 5 dB large noise.Combined with fringe counting method,accurate and rapid displacement reconstruction can be realized.
