She agreed when her granddaughter decided to move t

11、o study psychology at UTC after a year at Berea College in Kentucky. They both entered UTC with enough college credits to make graduating together a possibility.Pat and Melody graduated on November 20 as part of UTCs 2020 class. The achievement has also made Pat somewhat of a celebrity.“We are so pr

Emergency teams have little time to rescue those in the water because the probability of finding a perso

18、n alive falls dramatically after six hours. Beyond tides and challenging weather conditions, unsteady coastal currents often make search and rescue operations extremely difficult.New insight into coastal flows gained by an international research team led by George Haller, Professor of Nonlinear Dyna

19、mics at ETH Zurich, promises to enhance the search and rescue techniques currently in use. Using tools from dynamical system theory and ocean data, the team has developed an algorithm (算法) to predict where objects and people floating in water will go. “Our work has a clear potential to save lives,”

20、says Mattia Serra, the first author of a study recently published in Nature Communications.In todays rescue operations at sea, complicated models of ocean dynamics and weather forecast are used to predict the path of floating objects. For fast-changing coastal waters, however, such predictions are o

21、ften inaccurate due to uncertain boundaries and missing data. As a result, a search may be launched in the wrong location, causing the loss of precious time. Hallers research team obtained mathematical results predicting that objects floating on the oceans surface should gather along a few special c

22、urves (曲线) which they call TRansient Attracting Profiles (TRAPs). These curves cant be seen with our eyes but can be tracked from instant ocean surface current data using recent mathematical methods developed by the ETH team. This enables quick and precise planning of search paths that are less sens

23、itive to uncertainties in the time and place of the accident. In cooperation with a team from MIT, the ETH team tested their new, TRAPs-based search algorithm in two separate ocean experiments near Marthas Vineyard, which is on the northeastern coast of the United States. Working from the same real-

24、time data available to the Coast Guard, the team successfully identified TRAPs in the region in real time. They found that buoys and manikins (浮标和人体模型) thrown in the water indeed quickly gathered along these emerging curves. “Of several competing approaches tested in this project, this was the only

25、algorithm that researchers consistently found the right location with,” says Haller. “Our results are rapidly obtained, easy to interpret and cheap to perform,” points out Serra. Haller stresses, “Our hope is that this method will become a standard part of the tool kit of coast guards everywhere.”8.

26、 In a search and rescue operation, _.A. the survival rate drops to almost zero after six hoursB. the use of dynamics leads to the wrong locationC. weather conditions are a determining factorD. changing currents present a challenge9. What is the distinct feature of the new algorithm?A. It relies on o

27、cean dynamics.B. It tracks the path of the curves.C. It stops the uncertainties of the accident.D. It figures out how tides change over time.10. Whats paragraph 5 mainly about?A. The collection of data.B. The testing of the algorithm.C. The identification of the TRAPs.D. The cooperation of two resea

How Mathematics Can Save Lives at SeaD. How Coastal Waters Affect Saving LivesDHumans have little difficulty recognizing one another. And we

29、know that no two faces are exactly alike. Even identical twins have slightly different faces. Each human face is truly unique, and now weve invented machines that are able to recognize faces for numerous purposes.Governments, employers and security and police services are increasingly using facial r

30、ecognition technology. This allows them to quickly confirm an individuals identity. Systems are becoming so advanced that a wanted criminal can instantly be picked out of a crowd of thousands of people. All thats required is an image in a database to compare with the image of any number of people in

31、 a crowd. Ordinary people, too, are using facial recognition to unlock their phones, their computers and other devices.Personal facial recognition protection has several benefits. It is instantaneous, and it relieves us of the need to memorize passwords. However, a device will require a password in

32、the rare event that it doesnt, for whatever reason, recognize the users face.There are numerous concerns about the use of facial recognition. Primarily, the concern is that it threatens privacy. The installation of more and more cameras in public and private places is now part of everyday life. This

33、 means people can be observed and recognized wherever they go. Cameras may make public spaces safer, but keeping law-abiding (守法的) citizens under constant watch is disturbing to many.In the age of the coronavirus and the widespread wearing of masks, facial recognition systems are having some difficu

34、lty. A mask covers many of the facial data points used by recognition software to confirm a persons identity. In response, facial recognition systems are being trained to use less facial data. That could affect how dependable it is as a method of identity detection.12. Whats the authors purpose of w
