利用质疑改进教育信息技术标准化活动：更多关注其范围和原理

标准化对于开发“学习、教育和培训”（LET）中使用的“信息通信技术”（ICT）有重要意义,但ICT的利益相关者（stakeholders）却往往质疑标准化活动.本文提出,利用这种质疑形式来分析和改进当前的ICT标准化活动.讨论了由各方参与产生ICT标准过程的模型框架,其中一系列“为什么”的问题（Why questions）起着重要作用.讨论主要围绕两个方面：一是标准及相关事物在发展过程中的管理与核准;二是如何识别LET中的相关问题与可用来解决这些问题的创新技术.给出了两个事例： 一个是对“内容共享对象参考模型”（Sharable Content Object Reference Model, SCORM）的质疑,这能帮助理解该模型;特别是对其适用范围（scope）的质疑而使该模型更完善.另一个是对制定“新工作条款”（New Work Items）必要性的质疑,使人们认识到澄清标准中有关技术原理（rationale）的重要性.     

Chinese deserts and sand fields in Last Glacial Maximum and Holocene Optimum

The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, c. 26-16 ka) and the Holocene Optimum (HO, c. 9-5 ka) were characterized by cold-dry and warm-wet climates respectively in the recently geological Earth. How Chinese deserts and sand fields responded to these distinctive climatic changes is still not clear, however. To reconstruct environments of the deserts and sand fields during the LGM and HO is helpful to understand the forcing mechanisms of environment change in this arid region, and to test paleoclimatic modeling results. Through our long-term field and laboratory investigations, 400 optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) ages and more than 100 depositional records in the Chinese deserts and sand fields were obtained; on the basis of these data, we reconstruct spatial distributions of the deserts and sand fields during the LGM and HO. Our results show that the sand fields of Mu Us, Hunshandake, Horqin and Hulun Buir in northern and northeastern China had expanded 25%, 37%, 38% and 270%, respectively, during the LGM; the sand fields of Gonghe in the northeastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau had expanded 20%, and the deserts of Badain Jaran, Tengger in central northern China had expanded 39% and 29% separately during the LGM; the deserts of Taklimakan, Gurbantünggüt and Kumtag in northwestern China had expanded 10%-20% respectively, compared to their modern areas. On the other hand, all of the sand fields were nearly completely covered by vegetation during the HO; the deserts in northwestern and central northern China were reduced by around 5%-20% in area during this time. Lakes in this arid region were probably expanded during the HO but this conclusion needs more investigation. Compared with the geological distributions of deserts and sand fields, human activity has clearly changed (expanded) the area of active sand dunes at the present time. Our observations show that environmental conditions of Chinese deserts and sand fields are controlled by regional climate together with human activity.     

Massive dissociation of gas hydrate during a Jurassic oceanic anoxic event

In the Jurassic period, the Early Toarcian oceanic anoxic event (about 183 million years ago) is associated with exceptionally high rates of organic-carbon burial, high palaeotemperatures and significant mass extinction. Heavy carbon-isotope compositions in rocks and fossils of this age have been linked to the global burial of organic carbon, which is isotopically light. In contrast, examples of light carbon-isotope values from marine organic matter of Early Toarcian age have been explained principally in terms of localized upwelling of bottom water enriched in 12C versus 13C (refs 1,2,5,6). Here, however, we report carbon-isotope analyses of fossil wood which demonstrate that isotopically light carbon dominated all the upper oceanic, biospheric and atmospheric carbon reservoirs, and that this occurred despite the enhanced burial of organic carbon. We propose that--as has been suggested for the Late Palaeocene thermal maximum, some 55 million years ago--the observed patterns were produced by voluminous and extremely rapid release of methane from gas hydrate contained in marine continental-margin sediments.

甲烷预混气螺旋爆轰的定量不稳定性研究

针对CH4这种特别气体,对其实验结果运用数字化处理方法研究CH4稳定性.在内径50.8 mm圆形管道内获得CH4+2O2预混气在不同初始压力条件下的胞格爆轰结果并使用烟膜记录,且测得的平均爆轰速度数据与CJ爆轰速度接近,在初始压力高于5 kPa时爆轰可稳定传播.烟膜上形成的三波点轨迹十分不规则.为减少人为误差,使用改进后的数字化处理烟膜图像的技术方法,从烟膜轨迹中得出柱状图及自相关函数结果,发现CH4+2O2是一种爆轰十分不稳定的气体,并给出CH4+2O2预混气的爆轰胞格尺寸及差距,结果显示人为测量结果偏大而数字化处理方法更为准确.这种方法能计算CH4+2O2预混气胞格尺寸及不稳定度,完善了定量化预混气不稳定程度的方法.
