ABSTRACT Architectural style positioning is an important part in the process of residential building design and project planning. However, in practice, due to the complexity and ambiguity of styles, style positioning often relies more on the subjective judgement of the designers and lacks scientificity. This paper proposes a method for the classification and prediction of residential building styles. Through structured interviews and questionnaire surveys on front-line designers and project planners, it refines the key morphological elements and the site… Continue Reading

tandfonline.com – Has ecology grown up?

tandfonline.com har udgivet en rapport under søgningen “Teacher Education Mathematics”: ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Background: In his 1991 book, Peters criticised the science of ecology, comparing it unfavourably with mainstream science such as physics and chemistry. His points of criticism include: (i) the questions ecologists ask are poorly formulated (ii) there are no fundamental principles (iii) research results seldom provide the basis for prediction and (iv) the science moves forward very slowly, as shown by the sluggish citation performance. Aims: I revisit Peters’ book and ask whether the criticisms therein still hold. Methods: Citation metrics are used to track the scientific progress of ecology over the last three decades. Results: There has been a sharp increase in citations of ecology articles since 1990. There are strong signs that research ecologists are more… Continue Reading

Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine fifth graders’ mathematical reasoning and spatial ability, to identify a correlation with their learning styles, and to determine the predictive power of their learning styles on their mathematical learning profiles. This causal study was conducted with 97 fifth graders (60 females, 61.9% and 37 males, 38.1%). The data were collected using three instruments: the Test on Learning Styles, the Mathematical Reasoning Test, and the Spatial Ability Test. Considering the combined… Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Accurate prediction of the remaining service life (RSL) of pavement is essential for the design and construction of roads, mobility planning, transportation modeling as well as road management systems. However, the expensive measurement equipment and interference with the traffic flow during the tests are reported as the challenges of the assessment of RSL of pavement. This paper presents a novel prediction model for RSL of road pavement using support vector regression (SVR) optimized by particle filter to overcome… Continue Reading

Uncheck the box to turn MathJax off. This feature requires Javascript. Click on a formula to zoom. Abstract In this paper we present and discuss the importance and relevance of the inclusion of spatial data analysis as part of the undergraduate statistics curriculum. Given its usefulness and applicability across a range of disciplines, spatial data is a topic that should receive more emphasis within undergraduate statistics curricula. There exist many topical and intriguing spatial data sets from different areas of research that can bring fruitful discussions into the classroom including the environment, medicine, and political science.… Continue Reading
