This article presents the outcome of acting on critical incidents and leading graduate students to reflect as a process for identifying and building on their dominant proofreading practices. This group of graduate students' training and career as English language teachers contributed to their grammarian orientation, which initially limited the scope for copyediting academic texts. Using content analysis of sample student reflection and two rounds of manuscripts copyediting practice by selected students, the writer discusses emerging themes, describes the shift in modes of learning (from in-person to online/remote learning), and graduate students' evolution from correcting compositions to copyediting of academic texts. The students in the case study found that their copyediting strength was mechanics, which gradually shifted to content editing and other actions for making academic texts publishable. The outcome of this qualitative inquiry shows instructors of communication and those providing professional and academic writing services, the self-teaching benefits of reflection and ways to use critical incidents as leads to pivot and build on the existing language arts competences of graduate students seeking to retool their repertoire of skills in writing in English for academic and professional purposes.

Attitude and heading reference system(AHRS)is an important instrument used to measure,calculate and provide flight attitude and heading information. Its indication accuracy directly affects the pilot′s control and the performance of autopilot. Aiming at the fault that the magnetic heading error of a certain type of heading and attitude reference system is too large in the test process,in this paper,the mechanism of the system is theoretically analyzed,the fault tree is established,and the bottom events are analyzed one by one through actual operation detection,so as to screen the cause of the problem,and successfully locate and eliminate the fault. The results show that:the reason of the large magnetic heading error of the AHRS is that the meaning of the variables is confused when the GPS signal is used to correct the output value. The design of the magnetic heading algorithm is not rigorous enough,which leads to large error.The fault tree analysis method can successfully locate and check the fault.

Often, when middle-school students make mistakes, they tend to erase their work and record the correct answer without trying to understand what led to the mistake. In response, this article describes three opportunities educators can leverage for engaging students in the processes of reasoning and sense making about mathematics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The example of beryllium of technical purity shows the possibility of introducing changes in the distribution of impurities between different phases during the operational period. The feeding and prolongation of the active action of one of the secondary phases, which favorably affects the properties of the material, is carried out. The data on the redistribution of iron and aluminum impurities were obtained by Mössbauer spectroscopy. Spectra were received after homogenization, at the intermediate stages and after completion of isothermal annealing at 600 °C with the total endurance of more than 1100 h. The intermediate secondary phase AlFeBe4 prevails during more long-lived time term than with the ordinary content of aluminum. Methods for correcting the distribution of impurities are discussed.

A three-dimensional (3D) skeletonization algorithm extracts the skeleton of a 3D model and provides it for many applications, such as 3D model classification and identification. There are three major skeletonization methodologies used in the literature, distance transform field-based methods, Voronoi diagram-based methods, and thinning-based methods. However, the existing algorithms cannot preserve the connectivity of the skeletons of the 3D mesh models. In this paper, we propose a 3D skeletonization algorithm for 3D mesh models using a partial parallel thinning algorithm and a 3D skeleton correcting algorithm. The proposed algorithm uses pre-defined removing and recovering templates. The partial parallel 3D thinning algorithm separates 62 symmetrical removing templates into two groups based on symmetry. It thins a model with the templates of each group in each thinning procedure. The 3D skeleton correcting algorithm uses six correcting templates to inspect the disconnected voxels in the skeleton and corrects them. The experimental results show several comparisons of skeletons extracted by different skeletonization algorithms. The proposed algorithm can extract the skeleton of each branch of a model and preserve the connectivity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Most of existing field programmable gate array (FPGA) based watermarking algorithms have two primary weaknesses, large overhead and robustness. In this work, a robust low-overhead watermarking algorithm is proposed for intellectual property (IP) protection. The ownership is split into orderly small watermarks. The watermark positions are generated by the watermarks. Location mapping is performed to each position to make it not leak in verification. The real content of embedded watermarks is compressed to be one third of the original number. The configuration of small watermark has left lots of space for correcting. So, it can locate the attackers by checking each watermark. The experimental results illustrate a low-overhead on resource and delay. The efficiency and robustness of the proposed scheme are encouraging. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper demonstrates a novel approach for correcting for the presence of minor gases when determining the adsorbed methane content in shale. Based on the widely used Langmuir isotherm in calculating the adsorbed gas, an equation is derived that converts the adsorption equilibrium partition coefficient ( K d ) and maximal amount of adsorbed gas ( N ) at low pressure to Langmuir pressure ( p L ). Headspace gas chromatography (HS-GC) is used to determine the K d and N of the minor gas species present in the shale. The results indicate that the method satisfactorily accounts for the presence of minor gases when estimating the amount of adsorbed methane. This HS-GC method is much more efficient than the isothermal adsorption test currently used for the measurement of adsorption parameters of minor gas species in shale. Therefore, this new approach will improve the speed and accuracy of estimating the amount of adsorbed methane in shale deposits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The role of correcting errors in English teaching, especially in Speaking class has been debated for a long time. So far the effective method to correct the students’ language errors has not been identified since every English learner has different perception toward the teacher’s correction or feedback. Further, it has not been assured whether the learner’s success in mastering English is solely affected by the correction given. However, there are still some linguists’ views and research finding which can be used to assist the teachers in giving the correction in a Speaking class. At least, there are three ways of correcting errors: selective correction of errors, productive term of error correction and constructive error correction.

Suppose that b ↓ 0 and Σ( b/ n)=+∞. In this paper, it is proved that any measurable almost everywhere finite function on [0, 1] can be corrected on a set of arbitrarily small measure to a continuous function $\tilde f$ so that the nonzero moduli $|A_n (\tilde f)|$ of the Fourier-Faber-Schauder coefficients of the corrected function are b.

English, as an international language, takes such a position in foreign language teaching and learning in China. As we all know that the ultimate purpose of language teaching is to cultivate students’ communicative ability including not only the oral ability, but also the writing ability. However, teaching of English writing is far from satisfactory, and many students still have a great difficulty in writing English composition. They find it hard to express their ideas and feeling freely and fluently, also they make many mistakes in vocabulary and grammar. Even though there are few grammar mistakes in the composition, it still seems more or less odd when read by native speakers. Teachers should make corresponding changes of the emphasis and pedagogy in their teaching and thus provide the most effective way to ease the students in the writing process and motivate them to write. The aim of this paper is to provide pedagogical implications to help the students to improve their English writing competence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The calcium carbonate industry generates solid waste products which, because of their high alkaline content (CaO, CaCO3 and Ca (OH)2 ), have a substantial impact on the environment. The objectives of this study are to characterize and classify the solid waste products, which are generated during the hydration process of the calcium carbonate industry, according to ABNT's NBR 10.000 series, and to determine the potential and efficiency of using these solid residues to correct soil acidity. Initially, the studied residue was submitted to gross mass, leaching, solubility, pH, X-ray Diffractometry, Inductive Coupled Plasma - Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES), granularity and humidity analyses. The potential and efficiency of the residue for correcting soil acidity was determined by analysis of the quality attributes for soil correctives (PN, PRNT, Ca and Mg contents, granularity). Consequently, the results show that the studied residue may be used as a soil acidity corrective, considering that a typical corrective compound is recommended for each different type of soil. Additionally, the product must be further treated (dried and ground) to suit the specific requirements of the consumer market. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As VLSI silicon technology continues its relentless advance and memory densities increase, the problem of soft errors—bit upsets caused by alpha particles or neutron hits—demands solutions. Error-correcting codes (ECCs) are routinely used on random-access memories (RAMs) to increase soft error tolerance—codewords (CWs) (ECC bits concatenated to the data) are written to and read from memory, and the read CW is decoded to correct errors. Content addressable memories (CAMs) also demand error mitigation measures. The method employed for RAMs is also applicable to CAMS: the match-line sense amplifier is modified to function as a comparator [1], CWs are stored and searched for. We investigate the extension of this method to ternary CAMs (TCAMs). TCAMs cannot employ the efficient ECCs (known as linear block codes—LBCs) used with RAMs and CAMs. We develop the ECCs necessary to implement error-resilient TCAMs. We prove that the rate (ratio of data bits to total number of bits in the CW) of the specialized ECCs necessary for TCAMs cannot exceed 1/t, where t is the number of bit errors the code can correct (in contrast, LBCs asymptotically have rate one); simple majority codes are the best.

By analyzing causes, damages and popular solutions for gnawing rail phenomenon of Rail-Mounted Gantry (shorted for RMG), this article puts forward a kind of automatic correcting control system, the system can change between two transducer connection forms, and as a result, can prevent or decrease gnawing rail problem to a great extent. We present principles of correcting obliquity, sideward displacement of gantry frame and principles of malfunction diagnosis and some important schematic diagrams. The most significant feature of our system is that we can change transducers' connection form to respective or cross driving mode according to the extent of obliquity and sideward displacement of gantry frame, which make full use of both modes' advantages. As a result, the system not only can minish gnawing rail phenomenon, diagnose causes of gnawing rail and give an corresponding alarm, but also, in cross connection driving mode, has an unique capacity of preventing gnawing rail phenomenon utilizing its own characteristics under cross connection mode and gantry frame's rigidity.

Abstract This article presents a complete mathematical model, which translates discrepancies between two orthophotographs created from different photographs, into precise corrections of the Digital Elevation Model (DEM). These corrections are the differences from the real surface and, if applied over the existing DEM, can produce a more accurate one. The mathematical model is straightforward, and is not approximate, and therefore there is no need for iterations. Possible applications include checking of automatically created DEMs, refinement of existing DEMs using aerial photographs and update of orthophotographs based on the previous DEM and new imagery.
