Research on the Application of Modern Information Technology in English Teaching——An investigation based on the perspective of technology acceptance

In the information age, science and technology have profoundly impacted the education industry with their wide penetration. Scientific development advances new demands and challenges for education, influences traditional areas of education, leads to conflicts in education between the new and the old, the advanced and the backward, and ultimately promotes educational innovation and development. Many new technology products have been adopted in education. These new technologies are being applied to improve teaching effectiveness on the one hand and to promote the popularisation and popularisation of education on the other. As a kind of humanities, English has undergone many changes in English education in recent years due to informatization. Most academics now concentrate on how and whether students, the audience, can embrace this transformation. There is, however, no clear assessment system for the effect of teaching English, and in the process of teaching English, effective feedback is an important component of effective instruction. The key factors to determine whether to give effective feedback are students' self-efficacy and learning engagement. Therefore, this study adopts an adaptation-mode integration technology acceptance questionnaire to analyze the influence of general self-efficacy and learning engagement on English teaching effectiveness. Drawing on the learning theory of modern educational technology, this study conducts an empirical investigation based on the technology acceptance perspective, comprehensively reviews the application of modern information technology in English language education, and advances plans and options for improving the effectiveness of education in the future.

Ice Recrystallization Inhibition Activity of Silk Proteins.

The cryopreservation of cells, tissue, and organs is essential in both fundamental research and practical applications, such as modern regenerative medicine and technological applications. However, the formation of ice crystals during ice recrystallization can have harmful or even fatal effects on biological systems. To address this challenge, we explore the ice recrystallization inhibition (IRI) activity of two natural silk proteins of Bombyx mori, fibroin and sericin. We found that silk fibroin (SF) had higher ice recrystallization inhibition activity than silk sericin (SS). Moreover, SF aqueous solutions perform better in inhibiting ice recrystallization than SF phosphate-buffered saline solutions. Sum-frequency generation spectroscopy shows that stronger electrostatic interactions are responsible for the higher IRI ability of SF. This work is significant for broadening the applications of silk proteins in biomedical fields.

A polyester/spandex blend fabrics-based e-textile for strain sensor, joule heater and energy storage applications

Electronic textiles (e-textiles), as a new class of wearable electronics, have shown diverse applications in modern technologies. However, the development of multi-functional e-textiles with both high strength and elasticity to satisfy different working conditions remains challenge. Herein, the e-textiles based on polyester/spandex blend (PSB) fabrics have been fabricated and their applications in strain sensors, heaters and supercapacitors have been systematically studied. The carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are coated on PSB fabrics via polydopamine (PDA) adhesion. As a strain sensor, the air-permeable PSB-CNT e-textiles show a gauge factor of 18.9 at high strain with a fast response time of 114 ms. The PSB-CNT strain sensor can work better than the cotton-based sensor even at high temperature of 100 °C due to the high heat resistance of polyester, securing its application in severe environment. As a joule heater, the PSB-CNT e-textiles can raise up to 110 °C at 12 V. Further electrodeposition of polypyrrole (PPy) on PSB-CNT can obtain the e-textile electrodes for micro-supercapacitor (MSC). The all-solid-state MSC using PSB-CNT-PPy delivers high specific capacitance of 550 mF cm−2 at 1 mA cm−2. This work offers a simple route for e-textile fabrications and promises potential applications in wearable sensors, heaters, and power sources.

Hybrid quantum systems with high-T_c superconducting resonators

Superconducting microwave resonators are crucial elements of microwave circuits, offering a wide range of potential applications in modern science and technology. While conventional low-T_c superconductors are mainly employed, high-T_c cuprates could offer enhanced temperature and magnetic field operating ranges. Here, we report the realization of textrm{YBa}_2textrm{Cu}_3textrm{O}_{7-delta } superconducting coplanar waveguide resonators, and demonstrate a continuous evolution from a lossy undercoupled regime, to a lossless overcoupled regime by adjusting the device geometry, in good agreement with circuit model theory. A high-quality factor resonator was then used to perform electron spin resonance measurements on a molecular spin ensemble across a temperature range spanning two decades. We observe spin-cavity hybridization indicating coherent coupling between the microwave field and the spins in a highly cooperative regime. The temperature dependence of the Rabi splitting and the spin relaxation time point toward an antiferromagnetic coupling of the spins below 2 K. Our findings indicate that high-Tc superconducting resonators hold great promise for the development of functional circuits. Additionally, they suggest novel approaches for achieving hybrid quantum systems based on high-T_c superconductors and for conducting electron spin resonance measurements over a wide range of magnetic fields and temperatures.

„Roboty w togach” i rozprawy na WeChatcie? Analiza przyczyn i sposobów wykorzystania nowych technologii w chińskim sądownictwie oraz charakterystyka zagrożeń z tym związanych

This article, based on a literature review, provides an analysis of the causes and applications of new technologies in the Chinese judiciary, and attempts a legal and ethical assessment of the hazards faced by both the developers as well as parties involved and court personnel. This issue is considered significant due to the growing extent of the application of increasingly sophisticated technological tools and their potential to effectively respond to the challenges encountered by the Chinese judiciary. The considerations presented lead to the conclusion that innovations applied in courtrooms contribute to the acceleration and facilitation of proceedings, address staff shortages, and have the potential to redefine established solutions in law. However, they are by no means a perfect remedy, and there are a number of dangers associated with their deployment, such as loss of autonomy by judges, algorithmic errors, technology bias, or over-reliance on technology. There is, therefore, a necessity to undertake further research into the application of modern technologies in the Chinese judiciary and to assess their effectiveness through the prism of the emerging risks they entail.

Carbides of transition metals: Properties, application and production. Review. Part 2. Chromium and zirconium carbides

The properties, application, and methods for producing chromium and zirconium carbides are considered. These carbides are oxygen-free refractory metal-like compounds. As a result, they are characterized by high values of thermal and electrical conductivity. Their hardness is relatively high. Chromium and zirconium carbides exhibit significant chemical resistance in aggressive environments. For these reasons, they have found application in modern technology. Chromium carbide is used mainly as component of surfacing mixtures to create protective coatings that resist intensive abrasive wear, including at elevated temperatures (up to 800 °C) in oxidizing environments. This compound is also used in the manufacture of tungsten-free hard alloys and carbide steels. Chromium carbide, along with vanadium carbide, is used as a grain growth inhibitor in WC – Co hard alloys. Powdered zirconium carbide can be used to polish the surface of items made of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The properties of refractory compounds depend on the content of impurities and dispersion (particle size). To solve a specific problem associated with the use of refractory compounds, it is important to choose the right method for their preparation, to determine the permissible content of impurities in the initial components. This leads to the existence of different methods for the synthesis of carbides. The main methods for their preparation are: synthesis from simple substances (metals and carbon), metallothermal and carbothermal reduction. Plasma-chemical synthesis (vapor-gas phase deposition) is also used to obtain carbide nanopowders. A characteristic is given to each of these methods. Information on the possible mechanism of the processes of carbothermal synthesis is presented.

Crop Rotation Practiced by Romanian Crop Farms before the Introduction of the “Environmentally Beneficial Practices Applicable to Arable Land” Eco-Scheme

The main objective of this article is the analysis of crop rotation applied to three crop farms of different sizes in Romania. The period under study is before the implementation of the “Environmentally beneficial practices applicable to arable land” eco-scheme, included in the National Strategic Plan of Romania, 2023–2027, in the section on direct payments related to subsidies. The analysed crop farms have different areas, as follows: Farm A—64.97 ha, Farm B—615.50 ha and Farm C—2881.33 ha. This research aims to highlight the agro-environmental conditions specific to each farm that are required to be met by 2023. The data analysis highlights the fact that farms under 100 ha, such as Farm A, must apply the conditions of the eco-scheme as follows: 3.25 ha with non-productive elements, including uncultivated land; 6.50 ha cultivated with crops from the Leguminosae family, 16.25 ha cultivated with cereals, 19.49 ha cultivated with corn, 12.99 ha cultivated with sunflowers, 3.25 ha cultivated with watermelon and 3.25 ha cultivated with vegetables. These farms do not apply modern technologies and have fragmented surfaces, and must have both uncultivated areas and areas planted with nitrogen-fixing crops, but must also practice crop diversification. Farms of over 100 ha, such as Farm B, must have 30.78 ha of non-productive elements and 246.20 ha cultivated with crops from the Leguminosae family, of which 30.78 ha are perennial crops and 215.42 ha are annual crops, such as soy. Crop diversification is also recommended, with 92.33 ha cultivated with cereals, 184.65 ha cultivated with corn and 61.55 ha cultivated with oil crops, sunflower and/or rapeseed. Farms the size of Farm C must have 144.07 ha of non-productive elements, 720.33 ha must be cultivated with crops from the Leguminosae family, such as soy, and diversify crops as follows: 720.33 ha—cereals, 720.33 ha—corn, 518.64 ha—sunflower and/or rapeseed and 57.63 ha—potatoes.

MODELS FOR ASSESSING AND PREDICTING THE SUBSURFACE TRANSPORT OF CONTAMINANTS FROM THE WASTEWATER IN THE EFFLUENT CHANNEL OF KCM AD - PLOVDIV, SOUTHERN BULGARIA

Until the end of the 20th century, the uncontrolled discharge of highly polluted emissions from the non-ferrous metals companies in Bulgaria was the cause of heavy contamination in vast areas around these industrial sites. In the last two decades, after the introduction of good environmental practices and the closure of polluting industries, a deceleration of the negative processes and a gradual cleaning of the already polluted waters and soils are observed. In order to evaluate and predict these processes, numerical 2D models of the conditions for the subsurface transport of contaminants from the wastewater in the effluent channel of KCM AD-Plovdiv are developed using the VS2DI computer programme. The scheme of convection-diffusion mass-transport is applied, taking into account the concomitant processes of reversible elimination, mechanical dispersion and mixing. Employing the developed models, the fate and transport of pollutants typical for this type of industrial sites – sulphate ions and cadmium (SO4 and Cd) are studied, taking into account their concentration in the wastewater before and after the application of modern technologies and equipment for remediation of contaminated water. The computer simulation encompasses the period from the construction of the effluent channel till 2035.

Extraction of rare earths from coal and coal by-products as a non-traditional source

Rare earth elements (REEs) are one of the critical metals used for modern technological applications and green technologies. Due to growing demand and limited availability, there is a huge supply risk associated with REEs. The primary resources of rare earths in India are limited and associated with many processing challenges. In this scenario, it is important and timely to explore the non-traditional sources of rare earths to meet the domestic demand of country in the future. India is rich in coal deposits. The studies are very limited and there is scarcity of the research work carried out on the extraction of rare earths from Indian coal and coal by-products. Therefore, the objective of the present research article is to highlight the presence of REEs in Indian coal along with coal by-products. The objective is to identify the sweet pots of rare earths in coal and coal by-products. The concentration of total REEs is in the range of 150–200 ppm in coal samples. Furthermore, coal ash contains the concentration of total REEs which is more than 600 ppm in the samples of study area. It is aimed to review the several methods to recover rare earths that can be economically applied for the extraction of rare earths from coal and its by-products. Column leaching experiments achieve a 50% recovery rate of REEs from coal, while thermal treatment of coal enhances the recovery rate by one and a half times compared to untreated samples. Process optimization experiments demonstrate the superiority of the flocculator jar test apparatus, resulting in a significant increase in REE recovery (52% from coal samples). It was found that there is a huge work is still needed to be done for the development of an energy efficient and economical recovery of rare earths from coal and its by-products.

A study of marking utility models based on principal component analysis and integer programming

The establishment and analysis of a marking utility model is of great importance in achieving paperless marking and improving the accuracy and efficiency of marking. Through the application of modern technology, students' examination results can be evaluated more objectively and provide an important basis for determining the final effect of talent training. This paper provides a systematic analysis and modelling of the marking process, and uses a variety of techniques and methods to address the issue of marking staff arrangements. Firstly, the impact of the proportion of markers per question, the proportion of the average mark for each question to the total mark for that question, the proportion of blank papers and the error rate on the speed of marking was explored by analysing marker-related indicator variables and the basic requirements for completing the marking process. Then, principal component analysis was used to reduce the dimensionality of the four factor variables affecting marking speed, and two principal components with strong correlation with marking speed were obtained to provide a more systematic and comprehensive analysis of the influence of marking speed. Finally, an integer programming model and simulated annealing algorithm were used to solve for the optimal arrangement of markers to ensure that the requirement of simultaneous completion of workload for each question was met. In this paper, the optimal allocation of markers is analysed and the time required for all markers to complete the marking process at the same point in time is calculated to be 3.3 days. Two optimal allocations of markers are proposed for each question type per day and for each question type per hour in a day.

Trends of Global Scientific Research on Reclaimed Coal Mine Sites between 2015 and 2020

Open-cast coal mining is one of the most often-debated industries in the world. Due to the significant environmental and health issues it causes, many of these sites have been reclaimed over the years, and many scientific publications and research has followed. In this paper, we have tried to assess the trends in recent research performed on reclaimed coal mining sites (RMS) by analyzing the publications visible on Web of Science (WoS) between 2015 and 2020 and dividing the research into six categories. The results show that there is a trend of rapid increase in research that deals with carbon and its pooling, nutrients, vegetation, and microbiology, and a significant decline in research on RMS soil physical properties, whereas other categories have shown an increasing but relatively steady trend. The application of modern technologies is also discussed. China, the USA, and India are the countries that quantitatively take the lead in coal RMS research, with India slowly overtaking the US in more recent years.

Influence of the number of measurements on detecting internal defects using photothermal super resolution reconstruction with random pixel patterns

ABSTRACT In this work, the limits of using spatially structured heating combined with subsequent photothermal super resolution reconstruction for the thermographic detection and resolution of internal defects are investigated. The approach is based on the application of modern high-power laser projector technology, which is used to repeatedly project varying spatially structured 2D pixel patterns to photothermally heat the object under test. After processing the generated thermographic data using nonlinear convex optimisation in conjunction with exploiting the joint-sparse nature of the defect signals within the individual measurements, a high-resolution 2D-sparse defect/inhomogeneity map is obtained. The main focus of the investigation is set on the influence of the number of individual measurements on the achievable reconstruction quality. Using numerical simulations based on an analytical representation of the forward solution to the underlying inverse problem, the convergence rate over performed measurements of the achievable reconstruction quality is determined. Finally, all findings are experimentally validated by reconstructing a set of internal defects in an additively manufactured sample. In this work, it is shown that for a variety of different defect separation distances, the projection of 50 different pixel patterns allows for a good trade-off between experimental complexity and reconstruction quality.
