What can technology offer? Notes on technical developments for the non‐technical     

Iain D. Brown 《Learned Publishing》2000,13(3):177-181

The internet is assuming an all‐pervasive presence on television, radio, telephones and in the papers. Yet in what ways can value be added to existing content? What does the internet really offer in terms of technology and content management? It is suggested that publishers can use the internet to their advantage through the repurposing of content.  相似文献   

Focused Multisensory Anatomy Observation and Drawing for Enhancing Social Learning and Three-Dimensional Spatial Understanding     

Leonard Shapiro  Kathryn Bell  Kallpana Dhas  Toby Branson  Graham Louw  Iain D. Keenan 《Anatomical sciences education》2020,13(4):488-503

The concept that multisensory observation and drawing can be effective for enhancing anatomy learning is supported by pedagogic research and theory, and theories of drawing. A haptico-visual observation and drawing (HVOD) process has been previously introduced to support understanding of the three-dimensional (3D) spatial form of anatomical structures. The HVOD process involves exploration of 3D anatomy with the combined use of touch and sight, and the simultaneous act of making graphite marks on paper which correspond to the anatomy under observation. Findings from a previous study suggest that HVOD can increase perceptual understanding of anatomy through memorization and recall of the 3D form of observed structures. Here, additional pedagogic and cognitive underpinnings are presented to further demonstrate how and why HVOD can be effective for anatomy learning. Delivery of a HVOD workshop is described as a detailed guide for instructors, and themes arising from a phenomenological study of educator experiences of the HVOD process are presented. Findings indicate that HVOD can provide an engaging approach for the spatial exploration of anatomy within a supportive social learning environment, but also requires modification for effective curricular integration. Consequently, based on the most effective research-informed, theoretical, and logistical elements of art-based approaches in anatomy learning, including the framework provided by the observe–reflect–draw–edit–repeat (ORDER) method, an optimized “ORDER Touch” observation and drawing process has been developed. This is with the aim of providing a widely accessible resource for supporting social learning and 3D spatial understanding of anatomy, in addition to improving specific anatomical knowledge.  相似文献   

Interactive Evaluation of the Ostensive Model Using a New Test Collection of Images with Multiple Relevance Assessments     

Iain Campbell 《Information Retrieval》2000,2(1):89-114

The Ostensive Model proposes a manner of structuring the uncertainty associated with individual relevance judgements as sources of evidence in relevance feedback. It proposes temporal profiles of uncertainty, motivating the application of a particular class of discount function with respect to the age of the evidence. This paper presents an initial evaluation of the relative effectiveness of different uncertainty discount functions.A novel direct manipulation interface to a multimedia retrieval system embodying the Ostensive Model is outlined briefly. The paper describes the construction and characteristics of a new image test collection utilising multiple binary relevance assessments. The use of such multiple assessments and multiple interpretations of them are discussed. The evaluation environment is detailed in terms of the interface, test collection, and tasks set to users. Multiple interpretations of the results, and the statistical significance of comparisons are presented.The results obtained in the evaluation are consistent with the proposals of the Ostensive Model—reinforcing a particular evidence profile. The results give clear pointers to further, more specific, evaluations.  相似文献   

Quasi-static mechanical behaviour of soils used for natural turf sports surfaces and stud force prediction     

Igor Guisasola  Iain James  Ceri Llewellyn  Victoria Stiles  Sharon Dixon 《Sports Engineering》2009,12(2):99-109

The quasi-static testing of soils used in natural turf pitches yields key parameters in soil modelling, including elastic moduli, Poisson’s ratio and Mohr–Coulomb parameters for shearing resistance and cohesion in soil. The bulk strength of a Sand soil used in the construction of elite sports surfaces was found to increase initially and then decrease with increasing water content due to apparent cohesion effects. For a Clay Loam soil, more common in recreational facilities, shear strength decreased with water content. Reducing density resulted in a reduction of shear strength and elastic moduli in both soils due to reduced packing of particles reducing particle–particle contact surface area. The effect of roots on the shear strength of a Sand soil was not significant but reduced elastic moduli significantly. Horizontal forces measured during running and turning in a biomechanics laboratory were in good agreement with forces predicted using a simple quasi-static soil model for coarse-grained (Sand) soils although this was not the case with the Clay Loam soil.  相似文献
