La evaluación de Aprendizajes: una práctica pendiente en Educación Patrimonial by Inmaculada SÁNCHEZ MACÍAS, Olaia FONTAL MERILLAS, Jairo RODRÍGUEZ MEDINA

“…Los programas mejor valorados forman parte del estudio de caso sobre la comprensión de la evaluación de lo patrimonial en estas etapas educativas, inscrito en la comunidad de Castilla y León. El trabajo realizado nos aporta conocimiento sobre multitud de aspectos: se destaca la formación de profesorado poco especializada en la materia y de interés personal, el uso de prácticas evaluativas autoaprendidas, al margen de las directrices curriculares, ya que la normativa plantea intencionalidad teórica pero poco prácticas, o la praxis educativa que se sustenta en relacionar las asignaturas y encontrar métodos de micro-evaluaciones individualizadas, que orienten al profesorado sobre dónde ubicar al aprendizaje relacionado con el patrimonio.…”

Combined wideband speech enhancement method based on statistical model and EMD by Xuan ZHOU, Chang-chun BAO, Bing-yin XIA

“…A combined wideband speech enhancement method based on statistical model and empirical mode decomposition (EMD) was proposed.First,statistical model was used to eliminate the main noise component in noisy speech.Then,the residual noise was further suppressed by a post-processing module which is a speech enhancement algorithm with voice activity detection (VAD) based on EMD.The advantages of the two methods were combined effectively.The performance of the proposed method was evaluated under the standard of ITU-T G160.The experimental results indicate that the algorithm is more effective for improving the SNR in the different noise environments than classical statistical model approach.Meanwhile,in low SNR conditions,musical noise is reduced effectively,and the speech sounds more comfortable.…”

What Trucking Deregulation Did for Florida's Produce and Ornamentals by Richard Beilock

“…Prior to that time, trucking firms had to seek federal permission to haul many types of cargoes and there were restrictions on the rates that could be charged (note: in practice, rate restrictions prevented carriers from lowering their charges more often than the reverse). …”

Precisely positioning method for roadheaders and robotic roadheader system by Xinming LU, Changqing YAN, Zhaoping YUAN

“…To overcome the problems faced in underground positioning,the robotic roadheader mine Internet of things (IoT) was designed which connected multi sensors,surveying devices and industrial computers,and a novel positioning method was developed,based on which a robotic roadheader system was built.The robotic roadheader system was employed for real-world tunnel cutting.The experimental results verifies the high accuracy of the positioning method,which achieves an RMSE error less than 5 cm,and the robust running of the robotic roadheader indicates that the robotic roadheader system can precisely perceive the surrounding environment and make precise interaction with the working environment,which yield a safety,high efficiency,and precisely underground tunnel building and coal mining and an unmanned working surface.…”

Brittleness Evaluation of Shale Based on the Brazilian Splitting Test by Bing Hou, Yijin Zeng, Meng Fan, Dandan Li

“…This paper proposes to define the brittleness index based on the Brazilian splitting test and establishes a corresponding evaluation method, forming a tensile brittleness evaluation system for noncontinuous shale. The Brazilian splitting test and discrete element numerical simulation are carried out to study the crack distribution characteristics after tensile failure as well as the influence of anisotropy and scale effect on the brittleness of shale. …”
