The research is to design and implement the speaker independent speech recognition home system, and the final function achieves the recognition of isolated words. Through the module function integration, the speech recognition module LD3320 and the development board OK6410-A are connected. The results are processed, analyzed and judged after the speech module recognition results have been received by the ARM processor. Then the processor calls its own module function to indicate the recognition results. The program is implemented by C language in cross system compiler under Linux system. The downloading program is completed by the debugging function of the uboot. The opening and closing of the LED and the buzzer on the development board is completed by using 4 simple speech commands, including "kai deng", "la ba", "guan deng" and "fou jue". Then the intelligent home environment was simulated by 10 complex speech commands, including "wo shi", "chu fang", "ke ting", "dian shi" and so on. The results shows the small intelligent home system has been achieved. Keywords: Speech recognition, ARM, Linux, OK6410-A, LD3320 1. Introduction Embedding and hiding speech recognition system in the ARM platform will make full use of their advantages. Such products will be able to simulate people's consciousness and behavior for achieving more intelligent and humane.

  • Teravr Empowers Precise Reconstruction of Complete 3-D Neuronal Morphology in the Whole Brain
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-11443-y OPEN TeraVR empowers precise reconstruction of complete 3-D neuronal morphology in the whole brain Yimin Wang 1,2,3,14,QiLi2, Lijuan Liu1, Zhi Zhou1,4, Zongcai Ruan1, Lingsheng Kong2, Yaoyao Li5, Yun Wang4, Ning Zhong6,7, Renjie Chai8,9,10, Xiangfeng Luo2, Yike Guo11, Michael Hawrylycz4, Qingming Luo12, Zhongze Gu 13, Wei Xie 8, Hongkui Zeng 4 & Hanchuan Peng 1,4,14 1234567890():,; Neuron morphology is recognized as a key determinant of cell type, yet the quantitative profiling of a mammalian neuron’s complete three-dimensional (3-D) morphology remains arduous when the neuron has complex arborization and long projection. Whole-brain reconstruction of neuron morphology is even more challenging as it involves processing tens of teravoxels of imaging data. Validating such reconstructions is extremely laborious. We develop TeraVR, an open-source virtual reality annotation system, to address these challenges. TeraVR integrates immersive and collaborative 3-D visualization, interaction, and hierarchical streaming of teravoxel-scale images. Using TeraVR, we have produced precise 3-D full morphology of long-projecting neurons in whole mouse brains and developed a collaborative workflow for highly accurate neuronal reconstruction. 1 Southeast University – Allen Institute Joint Center, Institute for Brain and Intelligence, Southeast University, Nanjing 210096, China. 2 School of Computer Engineering and Science, Shanghai University, Shanghai 200444, China. 3 Shanghai Institute for Advanced Communication and Data Science, Shanghai University, Shanghai 200444, China. 4 Allen Institute for Brain Science, Seattle 98109, USA. 5 School of Optometry and Ophthalmology, Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou 325027, China.

  • Chinese Public Diplomacy: the Rise of the Confucius Institute / Falk Hartig
    Chinese Public Diplomacy This book presents the first comprehensive analysis of Confucius Institutes (CIs), situating them as a tool of public diplomacy in the broader context of China’s foreign affairs. The study establishes the concept of public diplomacy as the theoretical framework for analysing CIs. By applying this frame to in- depth case studies of CIs in Europe and Oceania, it provides in-depth knowledge of the structure and organisation of CIs, their activities and audiences, as well as problems, chal- lenges and potentials. In addition to examining CIs as the most prominent and most controversial tool of China’s charm offensive, this book also explains what the structural configuration of these Institutes can tell us about China’s under- standing of and approaches towards public diplomacy. The study demonstrates that, in contrast to their international counterparts, CIs are normally organised as joint ventures between international and Chinese partners in the field of educa- tion or cultural exchange. From this unique setting a more fundamental observa- tion can be made, namely China’s willingness to engage and cooperate with foreigners in the context of public diplomacy. Overall, the author argues that by utilising the current global fascination with Chinese language and culture, the Chinese government has found interested and willing international partners to co- finance the CIs and thus partially fund China’s international charm offensive. This book will be of much interest to students of public diplomacy, Chinese politics, foreign policy and international relations in general. Falk Hartig is a post-doctoral researcher at Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany, and has a PhD in Media & Communication from Queensland Univer- sity of Technology, Australia.

    International Journal of Management, Economics and Social Sciences 2019, Vol. 8(3), pp. 205 – 222. ISSN 2304 – 1366 http://www.ijmess.com DOI:10.32327/IJMESS.8.3.2019.13 A Statistical Study of Health Literacy at a University in Jiangsu, China * Ye Xinmeng1 Tian Si2 Ren Fangrong1 1 Hohai University, China 2 Nantong University, China This paper aims to understand students’ health literacy condition at a university in Jiangsu Province by determining possible influencing factors, and to give suggestions to improve health literacy education. A total of 165 first, second, and third-year students completed the Mandarin Health Literacy Scale (MHLS) questionnaire. Statistical analyses, including difference analysis, correlation analysis, regression analysis, and interactive analysis, were applied to examine the relationships between variables. The average score on the questionnaires was 45.78 out of a possible 50. The correlation coefficients between the Medical Service System and other sections were lower than those among the other sections. In addition, the high- and low- scoring groups on the Medication Information section had a significant interactive relationship with the Medical Service System in the Health Education Passage. In short, the health literacy of the students at this university was excellent. It can be concluded from the inter-section analysis that not only should their knowledge of the information in the Medical Service System section be strengthened, but Outpatient Department Conversation and Medication Information were key to improving overall health literacy. Keywords: Health literacy, health education of students, university students, Jiangsu, China JEL: I19, I29 Health literacy has attracted great public awareness in China as reforms of the medical and health system reach deeper levels.
