The reversal error—reversing the relationship between two variables in a mathematical word problem—is a long-standing issue in mathematics education, despite its apparent simplicity. In this paper, we describe and study POETIC, an interactive web-based environment we developed to teach users to avoid the reversal error. POETIC uses two types of novel interactive visualization, called the Test-C...

Theorists often associate certain “poetic” qualities with metaphor – most especially, producing an open-ended, holistic perspective which is evocative, imagistic and affectively-laden. I argue that, on the one hand, non-cognitivists are wrong to claim that metaphors only produce such perspectives: like ordinary literal speech, they also serve to undertake claims and other speech acts with propo...

This article describes an implementation of a basic multiprocessor system that exhibits replication and differentiation abilities on the POEtic tissue, a programmable hardware designed for bio-inspired applications [1, 2] . As for a living organism, whose existence starts with only one cell that first divides, our system begins with only one totipotent processor, able to implement any of the ce...

The Solitary Reaper is one of William Wordsworth’s representatives which portrays an Irish girl working and singing solitarily in a field. This poem fully reflects the loneliness of the poet.

In this corpus study, we develop and automatically extract three features to show that the classical character of Chinese poetry decreased across the century. We also find that Taiwan poets constitute a surprising exception ...

In order to satisfy the moving object diction and tracking’s real-time and self-learning performance, the method which combines background substraction and threshold image segmentation on HSV space is presented in this paper. Detecting the real-time image and getting the threshold of HS space. Next, the moving object’s area is got by the thresholds segment. Third, getting the center and realize...
