Statistical assessment of EV usage potential from user’s perspective considering rapid-charging technology

The aim of the German Government is the licensing of one million electric vehicles (EV) in Germany until 2020. However, the number of battery electric vehicles (EVs) today still is just above 25,000. There are several reasons for deciding against an EV, but especially low battery ranges as well as too long perceived charging duration inhibit the usage of an EV. To eliminate the negative influence of these two reasons on the decision to purchase an EV, a novel charging technology is established. The rapid-charging technology enables the user to recharge the battery to 80% of its state of charge (SOC) within 20–30 min. For the examination of the technology’s impact from (potential) user’s perspective, users and nonusers of battery electric vehicles were questioned about the perceived additional value of public rapid-charging infrastructure by taking into account different trip purposes and running comparisons to regular charging options. The results show an increased perceived value especially for trips with leisure purpose, considering their share of all trip purposes in Germany, according to the MiD 2008. In order to increase the number of licensed EVs in Germany, the study’s results also suggest further dissemination of information on rapid charging which might influence the perceived usefulness of the technology and consequentially the perceived usefulness of an EV.     

《白鹿原》的"性"叙事策略

《白鹿原》中的性描写在小说发表之初曾引起争议,但还是得到了读者和主流意识形态的一致认可,其中一个重要的原因就在于小说的性叙事策略,即将性"社会文化化",并采用"散点透视"的手法将性描写与故事的整体叙述有机融合。这种叙事策略至今仍然值得借鉴。

生本视角下我国高校教师教学质量评价的三重审视

伴随高等教育大众化进程,我国高校逐步进入以质量取胜的内涵式发展阶段,质量成为高等院校赖以生存与发展的生命线,尤其是高职院校人才培养质量遭受质疑,在新的时代背景下高职教育如何从大变局和新占位视域跳出传统思维定式走向理性。教师教学质量评价作为高校一项常规性工作,不只是一个管理工具和评价手段的应用,而是关乎人才培养质量的管理与生成,集中体现为学生需求满足程度的价值判断过程,其根本目的在于提高人才培养质量。本文基于生本视角,从问题缘起、理论探源及结构要素三个逻辑层面重视高校教师教学质量评价,深刻回答教师教学质量评价"为什么、是什么、怎么样"的元生逻辑问题,以期从学理层面厘清教师教学质量评价的本质内涵和应然之义,科学指导实践。     

Visibility mapping in New York's coastal zone: A case study of alternative methods

Abstract

Most scenery evaluation methodologies incorporate visibility extent. In New York's coastal zone, visibility mapping for planning and project studies is complicated by low topographic relief, and diverse configurations of water edge and upland surface character. A generalized visibility model has been developed, including macrolandscape, observer, and sight‐line recording. Based on a prior shorescape study of New York's coast, the Lake Ontario Port Bay site was selected to test alternative visibility methods. Within the study site, four “landscape control points”; were chosen which provided extensive views of representative land and water forms, and surface types. For each control point, four families of visibility mapping approaches were applied: primary (field observation); secondary (topographic maps and vertical air photo analysis); tertiary (physical topographic model); and quaternary (digital terrain computer model). Major study conclusions are: the methods require different resources; all methods readily produced visibility maps; all methods, except secondary, could be used to produce perspective scenes for subsequent content evaluation; all methods except primary omitted one or more elements of the general visibility model; all methods should incorporate field work due to critical viewer environment conditions; sensitivity analysis in each method produced ambiguous zones; each view map was different, particularly in the background. An integrated, multi‐approach strategy would appear desirable for most planning and project applications.
