Maintaining the emotional well-being of learners during a pandemic is important. This study explored effects two emotion regulation strategies (cognitive reappraisal, expressive suppression) and perceived control on full remote learners' anxiety Covid-19, their relationship to learning. Structural equation modeling was used analyze 239 questionnaires completed by Chinese graduate students taking course remotely from home for 13 weeks. showed that reappraisal positively related control,...

In this paper, we present a double hand-gesture interaction (DHGI) method for walk-through in VR environment with an Oculus Rift headset and Leap Motion function. The user can control the avatar (first-person view) to move (walk/run) forward or backward by turning user's left palm upward downward, right thumb pointing toward either direction. Compared results of joystick input device portal using Touches, objective subjective findings study indicate that DHGI is intuitive, easy learn, use,...

In recent years, competitive climate has increasingly prevailed in some Asian regions with large numbers of foreign language learners. It is thus important for teachers to understand the impact this classroom environment on learners’ emotions and develop ways effectively reduce any potential negative associated climate. The present study aims contribute under-studied but necessary line research by focusing exploration possible mechanisms underlying relationship between anxiety. Specifically,...

On basis a variety sources, this suggests, instead, that for those patriotic returning Middle Kingdom, eager bring about fundamental change its political system rejuvenation...

To get the exact vehicle speed can effectively improve control performance in vehicle's safety system. Depending on simulation advantage of AMESim, highly precise model is built as an experimental reference model, and then adaptive kalman filter algorithm combining with AMESim matlab co-simulation was adopted to realize estimation speed. In environment verified different working conditions. The results show that estimated effect good.

Active noise control has always been a focus in the field of suppression, and its core algorithm is updated iteration adaptive controller. In this article, first step to derive single-channel feedforward active algorithm. According FxLMS which used singlechannel control, article analyzes explores effect step-size parameter on performance system. Multiple sets simulation results show that will affect system performance. Properly increasing can effectively increase speed suppression while...
