A MATLAB-based biomedical signal de-noising applied to digital signal processing course for third-year students

Signal de-noising is one of the major topics of engineering application covered in an undergraduate-level digital signal processing course. Generally speaking, it involves a number of tedious concepts that have intrinsic physical meaning, which is difficult for students to understand . In this paper, an educational method using diaphragmatic electromyographic (EMGdi) as the de-noising object, which runs on the MATLAB software, has been developed for the convenience of learning and understanding for three-years students in digital signal processing course. This method transforms the analog filter to a digital filter by applying bilinear transformation equations, which allows the students explore the various characteristics of digital filter, such as low pass filter, high pass filter, band pass filter and band stop filter. That means Laplace equation transformed by inductance, capacitance and resistance will be replaced by the z equation, which is used for deriving sequence of difference equations. In the case studies, the clinical EMGdi is used to show the features of the developed method. Furthermore, classroom experience in the Nanfang College of Sun Yat-sen University has shown that the developed method helps in consolidating a better understanding of signal de-noising processing in digital signal processing course.

Book Review: "Astronomical Spectroscopy — An Introduction to the Atomic and Molecular Physics of Astronomical Spectra"

In his book, Prof. Jonathan Tennyson (University College London) sets out to connect observed spectral line features to the quantummechanical properties of atoms and molecules in the line-producing, radiating media. He covers the whole electromagnetic spectrum from γ-rays to radio waves. As expert in molecular spectroscopy, Tennyson puts emphasis on molecules, and the systematics in line spectra. In his foreword, he rightly stresses the role of molecules for spectra in the infrared and mm-range which are covered by (at the time of publication) upcoming observing facilities like Herschel, JWST, and ALMA. He leaves out aspects related to the modeling of spectra and the description of the instrumentation necessary for their observation. The book emerged from a lecture course for third year students. It assumes some familiarity with quantum mechanics on the level of the hydrogen atom, but not beyond. It starts out from the hydrogen atom to develop the concepts necessary to understand the spectra of complex, multi-electron systems. It applies the developed concepts to spectra observed in various astronomical environments before continuing with molecular structure and the hierarchy of molecular line spectra. Each chapter is finished by a number of problems with worked-out solutions which is helpful for lecturers using the book in their courses, or for self-study. Worked examples illustrate and clarify concepts. The second edition of Astronomical Spectroscopy is expanded by a chapter on effects of magnetic fields on atomic spectra, and the coverage of molecular spectroscopy is increased. The text is intelligibly written and compact. However, the compactness comes at the price that often facts are stated but details of the physical background are not provided, and the reader is referred to further reading. The text would have benefitted by giving more detail. In particular for students, extra information would have been helpful, even in cases where the more experienced reader sees the reason. Giving one example here, it is stated that “A molecule with N atoms has 3N−5 vibrational modes if it is linear, or has 3N−6 otherwise”, leaving it to the reader to see why this is. Many figures are scanned versions of original journal articles, and not always of satisfactory quality. Some typos and missing words are found in the second edition and interrupt the reading flow, an unnecessary short coming. Nevertheless, the book provides a very good introduction to the systematics in spectral line formation, spectroscopic notation and terminology — knowledge that is rarely conveyed in such an accessible form. It provides practical recipes to derive line properties from atomic and molecular characteristics that are relevant for the interpretation of observed spectra. Practitioners of spectroscopy and students will find the book to be a valuable source of information.

English

This study aimed at describing a peer-taught program in teaching the English novel course for third-year students at University College of Educational Sciences in Palestine. Through sharing the role of teacher with the students, students were able, with support, to learn and share their learning with their classmates. The major aims of the study were to find out whether the adoption of peer-teaching strategy can enhance the students’ awareness about and achievement in the plot, characters, themes, and symbols of the three assigned English novels and to find out whether the adoption of this strategy can raise the students’ motivation toward this course. Throughout the course, learners spend time summarizing the novels, evaluating the work or ideas of their peers, and explaining rationales—all significant activities that uphold critical thinking and long-term preservation of information. The results of the study showed that peer-teaching strategy has enhanced the students’ motivation and achievement in plot, characters, themes, and symbols of the three English novels. Key words: Peer-teaching, novel elements, achievement, motivation, long-term preservation.

A Teaching and Learning Approach to Supervision within a Teacher Education Program

Abstract Teacher education has always been concerned to help student teachers learn about teaching. One of the ways of doing this is by providing help in the form of supervision during practical teaching sessions. This article presents a rationale for and a description of an innovation within the primary teacher education program at the St George Institute of education in Sydney. The focus of the innovation is on a teaching and learning approach to supervision. This approach has led to the offering of a special course for third year students where they learn about supervision and teaching while working with first year students who are participating in microteaching. A description of the courses for both third years and first years is provided along with some of the students evaluations of their involvement in this teaching and learning process.

Teaching in medicine: an elective course for third-year students.

An elective course titled 'Teaching in Medicine' was given to eight third-year medical students in response to the policy of the University of British Columbia medical school to expand its elective offerings. Course objectives focused on the skills that doctors need to fulfil their role of teacher of patients, students or colleagues. Instructional methods included directed reading, group discussions, microteaching, evaluation of videotaped samples of teacher behaviour, role play, demonstration and practice in developing and using audiovisual materials, and analysis of research in teaching and learning in medicine. The course culminated in each student presenting a major teaching session which was videotaped and assessed by the student and course teachers. All students rated the course as excellent. This paper describes the course and the teacher and student perceptions of it. The experience of this medical school is that a course of this nature is extremely worthwhile.
