Sign Language as “Mother Tongue Orphan”: A Challenge to Raciolinguistic Multiculturalism in Singapore

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the contested status of “sign language” in Singapore by exploring deaf people's experiences of the “Mother Tongues”—the state's designation for the official languages of Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil—with a particular focus on the relationships that deaf Chinese Singaporeans have with Mandarin.

A modified algebraic multigrid algorithm for a class of elliptic variational inequalities and parallization(一类椭圆型变分不等式的修正代数多重网格解法及并行计算)

open access: yesZhejiang Daxue xuebao. Lixue ban, 2010
提出了一种修正的代数多重网格解法,来求解具有对称二阶椭圆算子的变分不等式的有限元离散问题.该方法基于离散椭圆型变分不等方程的线性互补性,运用积极集策略,对Gauss-Sidel光滑迭代后的近似解进行一个后处理,以满足不等式约束,从而解决了标准代数多重网格法在求解自适应网格上的变分不等式时不收敛的问题.数值实验表明了该算法在一致网格和h-自适应网格上的计算有效性和健壮性.为了减少计算时间,根据该修正算法内在的并行度,提出了一个并行计算格式,数值结果给出了该并行的加速比和效率.

Finding floral and faunal species richness optima among active fire regimes

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Changing fire regimes have important implications for biodiversity and challenge traditional conservation approaches that rely on historical conditions as proxies for ecological integrity. This historical‐centric approach becomes increasingly tenuous under climate change, necessitating direct tests of environmental impacts on biodiversity.

Research on the analysis and statistic of geographical conditions based on the strategy of "Grid Index + MapReduce"(“格网索引+ MapReduce”策略下的地理国情统计分析研究)

open access: yesZhejiang Daxue xuebao. Lixue ban, 2017
地理国情统计分析是深度研究地理国情普查数据的首要前提.针对现有单机集中式数据存储与处理方式存在耗时长、效率低甚至不支持的问题,设计了“格网索引+MapReduce”策略,基于规则格网设计普查数据文件的分块组织与分布式存储方式,研制了格网索引与空间分析相结合的双层过滤机制,构建基于MapReduce的地理国情并行统计算法.最后,与无索引MapReduce、ArcGIS平台进行性能对比测试,结果表明:“格网索引+ MapReduce”方法的统计效率远高于ArcGIS平台 ...

Understanding Student Preparedness to Handle L2 Writing Curriculum Transitions: A Hidden Curriculum Perspective

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the efforts devoted to improving L2 writing pedagogy to promote student writing development, students’ dissatisfactory writing development and outcomes are still reported. Investigating student learning preparedness to navigate L2 writing curriculum transitions may generate new understandings and provide an alternative explanation for ...

Variations in skin biophysical parameters with age, sex and breed in dogs

open access: yesVeterinary Dermatology, EarlyView.
Background – Understanding the physiological and biophysical characteristics of skin provides information for developing appropriate management strategies for skin diseases. However, in dogs, variations in skin biophysical parameters, such as age, sex and breed, remain poorly understood.

Humour as a Pedagogical Tool: Evidence and Implications for Critical Geography

open access: yesAntipode, Volume 57, Issue 4, Page 1493-1514, July 2025.
Abstract In this article, we elaborate the results of a focused empirical study on the use of humour in teaching undergraduate geography courses. Through semi‐structured interviews and weekly reflections submitted by students, we delve into a diverse array of experiences and perceptions of humour as a pedagogical tool.

The Spiritual Path of Transformation1

open access: yesJournal of Analytical Psychology, Volume 70, Issue 3, Page 374-392, June 2025.
Abstract Transformation is an essential component of individuation; it is not a linear but a circular process, encompassing experiences of standstill and deadlock where no longitudinal continuation is visible. Jung describes transformation in alchemical terms as a shared dialectical “reaction” between patient and analyst.
