Full textA critical overview of forensic science was performed by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) in 2009 which resulted in several recommendations for the advancement of the hair analysis discipline within the field of trace evidence examination. Among them included improvements to training and proficiency testing requirements, adaptation of uniform protocols between all laboratories, and enhanced research and development efforts aimed at reducing the subjectivity between multiple analysts or within the same analyst. A survey was created for forensic hair analysts to determine what current microscopic hair examination procedures are being used and to identify variability between characteristics of individual examiners and laboratory practices in the field, three years following the NAS report. The survey was completed by 117 members of the American Society of Trace Evidence Examiners (ASTEE) and contained questions about the experience and training of the analyst, impact of the NAS report findings, type of hair examinations performed, and hair features referenced during microscopic hair comparisons. Most analysts surveyed received the same substantial amount of training and have several years of experience; however, very few reported that any laboratory procedures were affected as a result of the NAS report. Though hair analysis is not structured by mandated, uniform standard operating procedures, largely the same number and type of hair features are being referenced when microscopic hair comparisons are performed, indicating that little variability exists between laboratories or individual examiners. A trend toward more frequent root screenings for DNA viability and less frequent full microscopic hair comparisons was detected and supplemented by a shift of hair analysis from trace evidence sections to biology or DNA sections. Several technologies new to forensic hair analysis are currently being explored to supplement hair analyses with numerical data and, therefore, reduce subjectivity of forensic hair analysis.

Full textThe Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination (ACE-111) is a neuropsychological test used in clinical practice to inform a dementia diagnosis. The ACE-111 relies on standardized administration so that patients’ scores can be interpreted by comparison with normative scores. The test is delivered and responded to in interaction between clinicians and patients, which places talk-in-interaction at the heart of its administration. In this article, conversation analysis (CA) is used to investigate how the ACE-111 is delivered in clinical practice. Based on analysis of 40 video/audio-recorded memory clinic consultations in which the ACE-111 was used, we have found that administrative standardization is rarely achieved in practice. There was evidence of both (a) interactional variation in the way the clinicians introduce the test and (b) interactional non-standardization during its implementation. We show that variation and interactional non-standardization have implications for patients’ understanding and how they might respond to particular questions.

Abstract The subjects of this study included grades 10-6 music learners of accompaniment and melody variation in the Yamaha Grade Examination. This study investigated how instructors, with the instruction of accompaniment and melody variation as well as the use of examination materials and teaching methods, trained their students to take the grade examination and employ the skills flexibly in the piano performance. In doing so, piano playing not only serves as the playing of classical piano pieces but also stimulates learners’ imagination in music, and thus enables learners to develop basic improvisatory abilities. This paper is a narrative study, exploring the design of teaching materials and teaching methods. The data were collected from in-depth interviews with instructors and analyzed in detail. A total of ten instructors participated in the study, including 5 Yamaha piano instructors and 5 KHS piano instructors. Based on qualitative data analysis, the resercher further discussed and generalized the findings of the study: ① Improvisation with the Latest Version of the Piano and Chen Hongxin’s Hands with Accompaniment Practice the two books were adopted as the teaching materials for grade 10-8 piano exam of accompaniment. Reasons for the selection are that these two books consist of the termination and inversed chords, the specified scope of the exam, and the books are arranged based on the key signature. In addition, most of the exercises are familiar nursery rhymes, world famous music, and melodies in which learners can easily identify the correct chord progression. As for grade 7-6, Practice with Lu Xiang’s Melody and Harmony and 7-6 Grade Piano Performance Test List were adopted. Both books are organized in order of the number of sharps and flats, from few to many; moreover, the seconday dominant chords of each key are sorted, which makes it easy for learners to practice. Learners can also refer to the exercises of accompaniment types and melody variation examples. Piano Performance Test List was adopted because it has a collection of previous Yamaha Grade Exams. ② In the teaching methods: Based on the interviews, the two groups of instructors have the same teaching methods of accompaniment. In the melody variation training, singing and listening to melody variation are quite essential for learners to feel whether the melody is compatible with chords. To determine the correct chord configuration, learners have to analyze the melody composition. ③ Accompaniment and melody variation in Yamaha Piano Examination can help boost learners’ perception of tonality, which is beneficial for their future teaching courses in junior high or elementary schools, their performance of pop music, jazz piano and church hymns playing.

The cultivated land is the basis for agricultural management, and is the fundamental data for production survey and yield estimation. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the land change in a real time basis. However, in-time supports for various applications can not be satisfied, since the cultivated land is distributed all over the island and the overall renewal of the land maps is extremely time-consuming. For the purposes of improving the quality of the cultivated land maps and of providing the comprehensive and up-to-date status of the distribution of the cultivated land, this study establishes the mechanism to assist in monitoring the changes of cultivated land and to refine the checking processes. The objectives of the study are: 1.to examine and organize the cultivated land spatial data 2.to quantify the changes of cultivated land maps 3.to classify the changes of cultivated land maps This study utilizes maps of Taoyuan County as an example for verification. First, identify the spatial characteristics of the cultivated land maps. Confirm the checking items, methods and integration processes adapted consequentially to produce the cultivated land maps which meet GIS specifications and have the characteristics of cultivated land. Then, Compare the data of cultivated land maps with the latest Property Owner’s Data, quantify the variation between section maps by using statistical and inductive method, produce quantitative variation charts and format the charts for usage of field investigation and followed by classification data mining. Finally, Total of 17 classification rules are obtained after the practice. The overall accuracy is 92.94% and each user’s accuracy is above 90%. It shows that only approximately 10% of the cultivated land maps need to be examined manually, which means the improvement of processing efficacy and the decrease of the error rate generated from manual checking.

Full textRecordings of speech play a central role in the diverse subdisciplines of linguistics. The reliance on speech recordings is especially profound in sociolinguistics, where scholars have developed a range of techniques for eliciting and analyzing natural talk. Despite the focus on naturalistic speech data, sociolinguists have rarely focused explicitly on the management (e.g. organization, storage, accessibility, and preservation) of their data, and this lack of focus has had consequences for the advancement of the field. At the same time, the interviews that sociolinguists labor so hard to obtain are often barely mined for their full potential to further our understanding of language. That is, sociolinguists often focus on a handful of phonological and/or morphosyntactic variables to the exclusion of so many other features of speech. The present work both addresses the management of sociolinguistic data and, through an innovative approach to speech data management and analysis, extends the sociolinguistic lens to include the lesser-examined realm of variation in sequential temporal patterns of talk.
The first part of this dissertation describes the Sociolinguistic Archive and Analysis Project (SLAAP), a web-based digitization and preservation initiative at North Carolina State University. SLAAP, which I principally have designed and developed, is more than an archive; it has actively sought to explicate approaches to spoken language data management and to enrich spoken language data through the development of analytic tools designed specifically for sociolinguistic analysis. This dissertation begins by situating SLAAP within the history of data management practices in the field of sociolinguistics. It then provides an overview of many of SLAAP's features, discussing in particular the transcript model that enables most of its analytic and presentational capabilities.
The second part of this dissertation takes advantage of SLAAP's data model and the extensive language data accumulated within its archive to examine variation in speech rate and silent pause duration by North American English speakers of four ethnicities in North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Washington, DC, and Newfoundland. This work brings a wide range of previous research from different areas of sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, and corpus linguistics to bear on an array of quantitative analyses, demonstrating that speech rate and pause exhibit meaningful variation at the social level at the same time as they are also constrained by cognitive and articulatory processes.
Specifically, pause and speech rate are shown to vary by region, ethnicity, and gender - albeit not in mono-directional ways - although other factors arise as significant, including, for speech rate, a strong effect of utterance length as well as a number of interactional or discourse-related factors, such as the gender of the interviewer and the number of participants in the speech event. A number of the examinations undertaken relate sociolinguistic conceptions of style to language production and cognitive processes, including a quantitative analysis of sequential temporal patterns as paralinguistic cues to attention to speech, performativity, and the realization of phonological and morphosyntactic variables. Through this analysis, sociolinguistic data and findings are brought to bear on a tradition of psycholinguistic investigations with the hope to benefit both, often disparate, areas of research.

The primary objective of this study was to analyze the ozone pollution problem by examining the hourly variation of ambient ozone concentrations in Taiwan . In addition, the relationships between the daily maximum 1-hour and the daily maximum 8-hour ozone concentrations in different regions were studied, and compliance tests were performed for various regions using 1-hour, 120 ppb and 8-hour, 80 ppb standards. In the study, we used hourly average ozone concentration data for 1994-1997 reported by sixty-six Air Quality Monitoring Stations operated by Taiwan Environmental Protection Administration. We selected seven out of the sixty-six monitoring stations for analysis of hourly variation patterns of ozone concentrations: Chung-Shan and Shan-Min in two metropolitan centers , Shin-Dian in a downwind area of a metropolitan center, Mei-Nung and Chao-Chou in rural areas downwind of a metropolitan center, Yang-Min in a n ational park and Wan-Li in a remote area. For the purpose of analysis, the day with a maximum ozone concentration higher than 80 ppb was defined as a high ozone concentration day. To examine the pattern of hourly variation of ambient ozone concentrations in each season, we calculated the average value of the hourly average ozone concentrations for all high ozone concentration days in a season. The ratio between the maximum and the minimum ozone concentrations([O3]max / [O3]min ratio) on the hourly average concentration curve was also calculated for each season at each monitoring station. The results of analysis for hourly variation of ambient ozone concentrations on high ozone concentration days show that there were five types of hourly variation patterns: metropolitan centers, downwind areas of a metropolitan center, rural areas downwind of a metropolitan center, national parks and remote areas. In general, the hourly average ozone concentration curves had a single peak(at 12:00-16:00) for all region types. The ozone peak concentration appeared 1-2 hours earlier in a metropolitan center th an in other region types. Among different seasons, the peak concentration appeared earlier in summer than in winter. The nocturnal ozone concentrations were considerably higher in the national park(25-45 ppb) and the remote areas(10-25 ppb) than in metropolitan centers(<10 ppb) and rural areas downwind of a metropolitan center(10-20 ppb). Both the [O3]max / [O3]min ratio on the hourly average concentration curves and the magnitude of the hourly variation were smaller in the national park and the remote are as than in other regions. The results of an analysis of the data reported by the monitoring stations in the Taipei basin and the Kaohsiung-Pingtong region show that, on a high ozone concentration day, the ozone concentration exceeded 80 ppb for 2-5 hours in the Kaohsiung-Pingtong region, but only for 1-2 hours in the Taipei basin. The results of compliance tests at sixty-six monitoring stations, using 1-hour, 120 ppb and 8-hour, 80 ppb standards, show that the number of days exceeding the 1-hour/ 120 ppb standard was higher than the number of days exceeding the 8-hour/ 80 ppb standard in the Taipei basin, while the situations in other areas were in the opposite direction. This indicates that the hourly variation of ambient ozone concentrations in Taipei area differed from other areas. The results suggest that the difference among var ious patterns of hourly variation should be taken into consideration in revising ozone air quality standards.
