Maxwell's role in turning the concept of model into the methodology of modeling

This is a contribution towards a history and philosophy of modeling in its early stages in electromagnetism. In 1873, James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879) hinted at the methodology of modeling at the end of his Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism. We focus on Maxwell's impact on physicists who immediately followed him, specifically Oliver Lodge (1851–1940) and George Francis FitzGerald (1851–1901). We begin with the role that the scientific concept of model played in the late nineteenth century, as assessed by Ludwig Boltzmann (1844–1906). We then discuss the role of hypothesis as a methodology, the appeal to (dynamical) illustration, and the way Maxwell applied model and working model in his studies of electromagnetism. We show that for Maxwell these key terms were kept distinct, but Lodge did not maintain these distinctions and, in this regard, FitzGerald followed Lodge. Notwithstanding Lodge's influence, Fitzgerald modified Maxwell's theory based on the mechanical model he designed, thereby implicitly taking the first step towards modeling. This methodology consists in drawing consequences from the (mechanical) model to the (electrodynamic) theory and modifying the latter in light of the functioning of the former. At the core of our argument is the thesis that it was a methodological novelty to move from the concept of model to the methodology of modeling. The introduction of modeling as a new methodology into physics in the late nineteenth century was a major event which deserves proper recognition.

基于学业成绩的师范生教师资格获得预警研究

本研究指出,教师资格考试是我国教师准入管理制度的重要环节,师范生教师资格证的获得是师范生职业发展的第一道门槛.本研究通过建立教师资格证考试内容与大学学科课程的对应关系,采用基于密度的离群点检测算法模型,以数学与应用专业学生的课程成绩为实验样本进行数据挖掘分析,识别学业危机学生.研究结果表明,该预警方法可以识别出教师资格获得危机学生,引起学生对教师资格证考试备考的重视,为教师提供预警干预学生的依据,有利于教师精准施教.该预警方法对离群特征显著的学生预测可达到100％,对离群特征不明显的学生识别率较低,算法有待修正.     

Little-known and phylogenetically obscure South African estuarine microgastropods (Mollusca: Truncatelloidea) as living animals

Areas of the Knysna estuarine bay in the Western Cape are dominated by three endemic South African truncatelloid microgastropods, temporarily known as ‘Hydrobia’ knysnaensis (Krauss), ‘Assiminea’ capensis (Sowerby) and ‘Assiminea’ globulus Connolly. Although first described 80–170 years ago and present in abundance (up to 100,000 m^?2), they remain surrounded by confusion and still await taxonomic assignment, largely because they appear most atypical members of their groups by virtue of anatomy and/or biogeography and/or habitat. This study contributes in-life perspectives to morphological and phylogenetic analyses known to be on-going. At Knysna, they are syntopic: at least two occurring in >85% and all three in >40% of individual 0.0026 m² samples from their region of dominance. Nevertheless, they tend to greater abundance in divergent microhabitats; ‘A.’ globulus dominating higher tidal levels, and ‘A.’ capensis and ‘Hydrobia’ lower ones; the former especially unvegetated sediment, the latter, if anything, seagrass. Interspecific feeding interactions appear unlikely to be responsible for these patterns, other evidence suggesting that all are maintained below carrying capacity. Field biology of ‘H.’ knysnaensis generally appears equivalent to that of northern-hemisphere intertidal hydrobiids and that of ‘A.’ globulus is typically assimineid, albeit at atypically low shore height. Unlike assimineids, however, ‘A.’ capensis is truly aquatic. The success of these truncatelloids in unusual circumstances may be consequent on the absence from South Africa of other microgastropod groups that fill their niches elsewhere in the southern hemisphere.     

Constructing and evaluating core inflation measures from component‐level inflation data

This paper undertakes a comprehensive examination of 10 measures of core inflation and evaluates which measure produces the best forecast of headline inflation out‐of‐sample. We use the Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index as our measure of inflation. We use two sets of components (17 and 50) of the Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index to construct these core inflation measures and evaluate these measures at the three time horizons (6, 12 and 24 months) most relevant for monetary policy decisions. The best measure of core inflation for both sets of components and over all time horizons uses weights based on the first principal component of the disaggregated (component‐level) prices. Interestingly, the results vary by the number of components used; when more components are used the weights based on the persistence of each component is statistically equivalent to the weights generated by the first principal component. However, those forecasts using the persistence of 50 components are statistically worse than those generated using the first principal component of 17 components. The statistical superiority of the principal component method is due to the fact that it extracts (in the first principal component) the common source of variation in the component level prices that accurately describes trend inflation over the next 6–24 months.     

AR-Grams:一种应用于网络舆情热点发现的文本聚类方法

网络舆情热点发现是一种常用且处理速度要求较高的应用.针对网络舆情热点发现这一特殊应用场合,本文提出了一种基于随机N-Gram的文本聚类方法AR-Grams.该方法通过随机N-Gram的文本相似度计算方法,确立待聚类文档集中各个初始聚类的标志文档并完成初步的聚类操作,继而通过聚类元素数阈值来确定初始聚类,并可根据实际情况确定是否执行聚类合并.该方法生成的聚类内聚性好,准确率高.另外,为了便于评估整体的聚类效果,提出了聚类的整体覆盖率和正确覆盖率.实验结果表明:与对比方法DR-Grams相比,在低阈值时,AR-Grams的准确率、召回率、F-score、正确覆盖率分别提高了11.9％、9.1％、10.2％和9.2％,提升效果尤为明显;在高阈值时,效果基本相当;在整体上,前述4项指标则分别提高了4.5％、2.9％、3.5％和3.0％,优于对比方法DR-Grams.     

避孕压力为啥由女性承担

<正>也不是没人研究过男性避孕药,只是面对这"野火烧不尽,春风吹又生"的精子们,科学家们绞尽脑汁却依旧所获不多。避孕,是男女两个人的事,但在选择避孕方式上,女性安装宫内节育器的比例要比男性做输精管结扎术的比例大得多,市面上的避孕药品也几乎都偏向于女性。像宫内节育器这样的避孕措施对女性的伤害还真不小。最可怕的是有很多女性即使带上宫内节育器还会有怀孕的情况,而这样的情况往往会导致宫外孕。     

体育消费的学理脉络、统计内容及其实施策略

采用文献资料法，依次从学理脉络、统计内容及其实施策略展开关于体育消费以及体育消费统计的讨论。认为：从学理上看，体育消费作为一个复杂概念，既牵涉宏观经济社会发展，也与文化意识形态紧密联系；而作为准确把握体育市场、把脉体育发展情况的基础性工作之一，体育消费统计则应该避免将体育消费概念泛化。应以体育政策为导向，面向人民的美好生活需要，对接国民经济统计制度，考虑建构以“体育教育与培训、体育文化与娱乐、体育保健与康复、体育传媒与信息、体育衣着耐用品、其他体育用品与服务、个人间接体育消费”为核心指标的统计框架，并通过长效工作方案的设计使体育消费统计工作制度化，通过统计调查制度的建构使体育消费统计执行有效化，通过统计数据的测算推算使体育消费统计结果精准化。
