Supporting a state in developing a working theory of improvement for promoting equity in science education by William R. Penuel, Tiffany N. Neill, Todd Campbell

“…They also saw curriculum materials that connect to students’ everyday lives and community priorities as key drivers for equitable change in the system, around which professional learning activities should be organized. The team also surfaced several policy changes needed to implement change strategies, only some of which team members felt they had some authority.DiscussionWhere past researchers have observed that equity can disappear as a focus during implementation of reforms, this study found that developing an aim statement and driver diagram helped energize and refocus a team’s implementation efforts geared toward a vision for science teaching and learning that is focused on ensuring all students can engage in meaningful science learning that is culturally and locally relevant to them.…”

Application of Image Denoising Method Based on Two-Way Coupling Diffusion Equation in Public Security Forensics by Yiqun Wang, Changpeng He, Zhenjiang Li

“…While the system realizes a series of functions such as the collection, transmission, storage, and application of video image evidence, it also realizes the application-side video image live broadcast function according to actual work needs and solves the large-scale case command and decision-making problem that has been plagued by public security organs. In order to remove the noise in the public security forensic images and to smooth the noise while retaining the details of the image, this paper proposes a denoising algorithm based on the two-way coupling diffusion equation. …”
