The 96 elementary school teachers' the degrees of understandings about the characteristics of the currents according to the connection methods of batteries in simple electric circuits were investigated. In this study, the concepts on the characteristics of currents according to the connection methods of batteries were divided 'the learned concepts' and 'the differentiated concepts'. The characteristics of the currents in the region of the larger resistance of load than the internal resistance of a battery were called the learned concepts, they are taught in the science curriculum. While the characteristics of the currents in the region of the smaller resistance of load than the internal resistance of a battery were called the differentiated concepts, they are not exposed clearly in the science curriculum. The results obtained in this study are as follows: The average score related to the learned concepts was relatively high, while the degree of the teachers' cognitions of the internal resistance of a battery and the resistance of wires were low. Also the average score related to the differentiated concepts was very low because it seems so new to the elementary school teachers. It strongly suggests that the elementary school teachers did not understand meaningfully the characteristics of the currents related to the connections of batteries on the ground of the cognitions of the internal resistances of batteries and the resistances of loads in simple electric circuits. Hence, they might experience difficulties due to the problems occurred in relation to the connections of batteries in the elementary school science lessons.

Many schools of the secondary level have been recently carrying out 'differentiated class'based on ability grouping between classed(DC). They are usually consisted of three levels; high level available to enriched course, middle level, and low level available to supplemental course. Phrhaps, almost all of the schools might nave executed DC before 2000 year. To do this, a lots of teachers have to develop differentiated teaching and learning materials for themselves. But, these mateirals are usually consisted of differentiated mathematics not on 'content'but on 'items'. So, for the successful 7th differentiated curriculum, the issues such as teaching and learning methods, materials, and evaluation system should be considered in depth focused on DC. .Decide issues related to DC(for example, mathematical contents, methods, activities, class speed,extra)based not on teachers or experts but on students. .Differentiate teaching and learning mateirals according to DC and develop the materials(including guidelines, supplementary books, multimedia, extra) based not on mathematical items but on mathematical contents. .Introduce new mathematical concepts or laws using not only not only definition and explanation but also concrete examples or problems. .Suggest differentiated diverse projects related to mathematical subjects suitable to enhance students` thinking ability to each class. .Have students to develop projects successfully by collecting, representing, analyzing, and interpreting data through communications in a cooperative learning environment.

The article shows that the concept 'weight' and the concept 'heaviness' give rise to different abstractions in the sense of Piaget and that these two concepts are differentiated by set-theoretic devices. The failure of differentiation of these two concepts 'weight' and the 'heaviness' can cause the failure of learning of the difference between reflective abstraction and empirical reflective abstraction. To explain the Piagetian abstrcation in a classroom, the author suggests to use the concept 'color' instead of the concept 'weigtht'.

The purpose of this study is to confirm the possibility of whether learning using a math learning platform can be used to expand students' conceptual structure and to consider how to use it. To this end, first-year middle school students studied using a math learning platform. Then, the concept map created was compared and analyzed with the concept map created before learning to examine the change in the concept structure. The results of analyzing the concept map are as follows. First, the change in the hierarchical structure of the concept appeared as the division of the upper concept was subdivided. However, it has also been changed to comprehensively integrate and simplify higher concepts. The term-centered concept structure has changed to content-centered superordinate and subordinate concepts. In the concept structure, subordinate concepts linked to one higher concept were expanded and differentiated. Second, changes in the integrated structure did not form a linkage structure. The expansion of the integrated structure of concepts through learning using the learning platform was influenced by the composition of the learning contents designed in the learning platform.

In a product environment where various product-service systems (PSSs) are already being provided, the provision of a different type of PSS is difficult for second movers but necessary for their sustainability and differentiation. Despite the importance of providing distinguishing PSSs to market, prior PSS studies have not effectively considered the influence of existing PSSs in their methods. In response, we suggest an approach to generate new PSS concepts by employing general needs (GNs) and business system evolution patterns (BSEPs). Our approach 1) identifies customer GNs fulfilled by existing PSSs, 2) generates advanced PSS ideas from an evolutionary perspective by mapping the existing PSSs onto BSEPs, and 3) selects PSS ideas that can meet the unfulfilled or insufficiently considered GNs using a GN-PSS linking matrix, thereby generating new PSS concepts based on the selected ideas. The workings and practicability of this approach are illustrated using a PSS case study of furniture industry. This approach would provide PSS planners with an ability to generate the differentiated PSS concepts that handle the customer needs that have been untapped throughout a product's lifecycle. In addition, this approach as a module will have a synergetic effect when incorporated with other PSS methodologies.

This paper combines fuzzy concepts with an existing dynamic performance isolation technique in order to improve the response time performance of a Web server supporting differentiated services. A load balancing mechanism based on the fuzzy control technique is developed in such a way that ambiguous situations caused by workload estimation of cluster-based Web servers, client request rates, and dynamic request rates can be represented in an effective way. In addition, we verify that the fuzzy-based performance isolation technique improves the performance and robustness of differentiated service systems efficiently through comparing 95-percentile of response time between the fuzzy-based Performance isolation technique and the existing one, which do not use the fuzzy concept.

Future emission legislation requirements especially the need for CO$_2$ reduction lead to more complex powertrain concepts with an increasing number of independent parameters to be calibrated. For gasoline engines concepts with variable valve timing, direct injection or variable charge motion are in development or already on production. Diesel engines with common rail systems offer a wide range of new injection strategies, the application of new exhaust aftertreatment systems leads to additional complexity. Furthermore a clear trend to highly sophisticated transmission concepts requires a perfect interaction of all powertrain components. While the higher complexity requires increasing test and development effort, the development duration is reduced significantly. Consequently, the potential of such systems cannot be fully utilised by traditional development and calibration approaches within the given timeframe. By introduction of intelligent methodologies f3r the calibration of modem powertrains the development becomes more efficient, faster and better in quality. However, even with standardised and automated calibration methods a differentiated brand-specific powertrain character has to be maintained comparable to a "handmade" calibration performed by highly experienced experts.

Differentiated service networks, based on bandwidth broker, perform the control and management of QoS provisioning for the QoS guaranteed services, However, the centralized bandwidth broker model has a scalability problem since it has centralized resource management for the admission control function of all call attempts, Therefore, in this paper, we proposea novel adaptive admission control mechanism according to the attempted call status for enhancing the scalability under the centralized bandwidth broker model in IP differentiated service networks, The proposed mechanism decouples the function of admission control from the bandwidth broker, So, the ingress edge node performs the admission control and the bandwidth broker performs the resource management and QoS provisioning, We also introduce an edge-to-edge path concepts and the ingress edge node performs the admission control under the allocated bandwidth to eachpath. The allocated bandwidth per path adaptively varies according to the status of the attempted calls, This mechanism can significantly reduce the number of communication message between the bandwidth broker and each edge node in the network and increase the bandwidth utilization via adaptable resource allocation, In this paper we study the adaptive admission control operation and show the efficient and extensive improvement through the performance evaluation.
