In science learning, cognitive concepts that are distinguished for the complexity of their structure and operation can be understood by using successful metaphors. Conventional instruction is ineffective in dealing with misconceptions. We propose a semantic learning interventions management system that utilizes web services technology. The proposed system aims to be an integrated educational solution that offers interoperable, web service-based, cross-platform learning services. It extends the available educational logic and content by publishing and consuming educational web services. Additionally, the combination of Web Services and Semantic Web offers sophisticated capabilities including automated discovery, composition, invocation, and monitoring.

A quantum BP neural networks model with learning algorithm is proposed. First, based on the universality of single qubit rotation gate and two-qubit controlled-NOT gate, a quantum neuron model is constructed, which is composed of input, phase rotation, aggregation, reversal rotation and output. In this model, the input is described by qubits, and the output is given by the probability of the state in which (1) is observed. The phase rotation and the reversal rotation are performed by the universal quantum gates. Secondly, the quantum BP neural networks model is constructed, in which the output layer and the hide layer are quantum neurons. With the application of the gradient descent algorithm, a learning algorithm of the model is proposed, and the continuity of the model is proved. It is shown that this model and algorithm are superior to the conventional BP networks in three aspects: convergence speed, convergence rate and robustness, by two application examples of pattern recognition and function approximation.

The current Grover quantum searching algorithm cannot identify the difference in importance of the search targets when it is applied to an unsorted quantum database, and the probability for each search target is equal. To solve this problem, a Grover searching algorithm based on weighted targets is proposed. First, each target is endowed a weight coefficient according to its importance. Applying these different weight coefficients, the targets are represented as quantum superposition states. Second, the novel Grover searching algorithm based on the quantum superposition of the weighted targets is constructed. Using this algorithm, the probability of getting each target can be approximated to the corresponding weight coefficient, which shows the flexibility of this algorithm. Finally, the validity of the algorithm is proved by a simple searching example.

ScalaLab is a MATLAB-like environment for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). ScalaLab is based on the Scala programming language. It utilizes an extensive set of Java and Scala scientific libraries and also has access to many native C/C++ scientific libraries by using mainly the Java Native Interface (JNI). The performance of the JVM platform is continuously improved at a fast pace. Today JVM can effectively support demanding high-performance computing and scales well on multicore platforms. However, sometimes optimized native C/C++ code can yield even better performance. That code can exploit the peculiarities of the hardware architecture and of special parallel hardware, as for example Graphical Processing Units. The present work reports some of the experience that we gained with experiments with both JITed JVM code and native code. We compare some aspects of Scala and C++ that concern the requirements of scientific computing. The article describes how ScalaLab tries to combine the best features of the Java Virtual Machine with those of the C/C++ technology, in order to implement an effective scientific computing environment.

The paper compares core kernel architecture and functionality of four modern operating systems. The subsystems examined are process/thread architecture, scheduling and interrupt handling. Linux, Solaris and FreeBSD have a lot of similarities, owning Unix roots, but also have some notable differences. However, Windows is significantly different, being a radical non-Unix design. The paper compares some aspects of the Unix-like approaches of Linux/Solaris/FreeBSD with Windows, emphasizing the consequences of their different design decisions, and presents some comparative performance results, using Java benchmarks.
