Methodological Analysis and Methodological Interpretation as Methods of Implementation of Competency-based Approach to Training Future Teachers of the Russian Language by Elena Ryabukhina

“…The ascertaining experiment shows that the third-year students’ ability for the methodological analysis of the textbook paragraph is low, while the 4th-year students experience serious difficulties in the methodological interpretation of the text. The control experiment reveals that the systematic use of these methods in training the future teachers of the Russian language led to the increasing productivity of their methodological activity, increasing of the level of their independence, the formation of responsibility for the content, methods and techniques of teaching. …”

Modulation of Purkinje cell complex spike waveform by synchrony levels in the olivocerebellar system by Eric J Lang, Tianyu eTang, Colleen Y Suh, Jianqiang eXiao, Yuriy eKotsurovskyy, Timothy A Blenkinsop, Sarah P Marshall, Izumi eSugihara

“…Intra-IO injections of GABA-A receptor antagonists or the gap junction blocker carbenoxolone produced correlated changes in the variance and synchrony levels, indicating the presence of a causal relationship. Control experiments showed that changes in variance with synchrony were primarily due to changes in the CS waveform, as opposed to changes in the strength of field potentials from surrounding cells. …”

Anomaly Detection Method of SDN Network Edge Switch by ZHAO Yang, YI Peng, ZHANG Zhen, HU Tao, LIU Shaoxun

“…Software-defined network gives programmability to the network,reduces the complexity of network management,and promotes the development of new network technology.As a device for data forwarding and policy enforcement,the permissions of SDN switches should not be stolen by unauthorized entities.However,the SDN switch does not always execute the commands issued by the controller.Malicious attackers attack the network covertly and fatally by eroding the SDN switch,which seriously affects the end-to-end communication quality of users.Communicationsequential process(CSP),as a modeling language designed for concurrent systems,can accurately describe the interaction between SDN switch-switch and switch-host.In this paper,CSP is used to model SDN switch and terminal host,and two abnormal switch location methods are analyzed theoretically.We verify the effectiveness of the two detection methods in the instantiated model system when the edge switch is maliciously forwarded as an egress switch,and the authentication results show that the abnormal behavior cannot be detected.In order to solve this problem,an anomaly detection method for edge switch is proposed in this paper.In this method,the host records the statistical information and triggers the packet_in message to complete the information transmission with the controller by constructing a special packet.The controller collects the statistical information and detects the abnormal forwarding behavior of the edge switch by analyzing the statistical information consistency between the edge switch and the host.Finally,based on the ryu controller,experiments are carried out on the mininet platform,and experimental results show that the edge switch anomaly detection method can successfully detect abnormal behavior.…”

Structural displacement monitoring using ground-based synthetic aperture radar by Benyamin Hosseiny, Jalal Amini, Hossein Aghababaei

“…This paper proposes a three-dimensional SAR imaging system and advanced signal processing scheme to extract continuous (fast) displacement components, such as structural vibrations, and discontinuous (slow) displacements, such as subsidence or uplift, using SAR time-series datasets. Using controlled experiments, this study shows that the developed GBSAR can monitor sub-millimeter displacements with high spatial resolution and 0.02 mm precision in the LOS direction. …”
