在偏远、遥远和混合的环境中教学可能会令人不知所措，给新手和资深教师都带来许多挑战。在这本全面和实践准备的书中，你会发现在远程教学环境中实施英语教学的最佳实践的清晰想法。由于了解到远程教学在每个学科中看起来都不一样，Ruday和Jacobson确定了专门为小学ELA教室设计的方法。该资源为远程、混合和hyflex环境的同步或异步学习设计，为教师提供了一个研究支持的建议、想法、示例和实践工具箱，用于在不可预测的和新的环境中教学。鲁迪和雅各布森探讨了基本话题，包括写作、语法和阅读指导;评估;分化;与文化相关的教学;家庭参与和沟通;技术; professional self-care; and more. Teachers will come away with ready-to-implement strategies and insights for high-quality instruction that can be adapted to any kind of remote learning environment.
越来越多的军事使用遥控飞行器，也被称为无人机，已经提出了各种各样的重要伦理问题、担忧和挑战。他们中的许多人还没有接受这种担忧理应要求的严肃学术审查。本书试图通过对这种远程控制杀人新形式所产生的一系列具体道德问题的持续分析来填补这一空白。例如，许多人担心，在地球另一端，通过无人机的中介机制进行杀戮，会对驾驶无人机的飞行员产生影响。当控制着无人机的作战人员从未面临任何人身危险时，诸如勇敢和勇气之类的概念会发生什么变化?这种风险的巨大转移也在发动战争的一方和被战争的一方之间创造了极端不对称的条件。对于使用无人机的军队来说，这种不对称的道德含义是什么?对战争和未来世界和平的希望有什么更广泛的问题?这项技术如何影响反叛乱行动或人道主义干预的可能成功?这种武器是否有可能使战争过于容易发动，并诱使决策者在应该采取其他更困难的手段时进行杀戮?《Remote Control Killing By Control》直接涉及了所有这些问题。 Some essays discuss the just war tradition and explore whether the rise of drones necessitates a shift in the ways we think about the ethics of war in the broadest sense. Others scrutinize more specific uses of drones, such as their present use in what are known as "targeted killing" by the United States. The book similarly tackles the looming prospect of autonomous drones and the many serious moral misgivings such a future portends. "A path-breaking volume! BJ Strawser, an internationally known analyst of drone ethics, has assembled a broad spectrum of civilian and military experts to create the first book devoted to this hot-button issue. This important work represents vanguard thinking on weapon systems that make headlines nearly every day. It will catalyze debates policy-makers and military leaders must have in order to preserve peace and protect the innocent. - James Cook, Department Chair/Head of Philosophy, US Air Force Academy "The use of 'drones' (remotely piloted air vehicles) in war has grown exponentially in recent years. Clearly, this evolution presages an enormous explosion of robotic vehicles in war - in the air, on the ground, and on and under the sea. This collection of essays provides an invaluable contribution to what promises to be one of the most fundamental challenges to our assumptions about ethics and warfare in at least the last century. The authors in this anthology approach the ethical challenges posed by these rapidly advancing technologies from a wide range of perspectives. Cumulatively, they represent an essential overview of the fundamental ethical issues involved in their development. This collection makes a key contribution to an urgently needed dialogue about the moral questions involved." - Martin L. Cook, Adm. James B. Stockdale Professor of Professional Military Ethics, Professor Leadership & Ethics, College of Operational & Strategic Leadership, U.S. Naval War College
高光谱窄带(或成像光谱)光谱数据正迅速成为植被建模和测绘的实用解决方案。最近的研究表明，高光谱数据在一系列应用方面的进展和优点，包括量化农作物、模拟森林冠层生化特性、检测作物胁迫和病害、绘制影响作物生产的叶片叶绿素含量图、识别受砷等污染物影响的植物、显示对植物氮含量的敏感性、对植被种类和类型进行分类、对湿地进行表征、测绘入侵物种。为了减少我们对地球认识的不确定性，并更好地维持地球，对植物化学、物理和水特性的量化、建模和绘图的需要比以往任何时候都更加重要。此外，还需要综合40多年来研究的文献中广泛传播的大量知识。植被高光谱遥感综合了这些知识，指导读者利用高光谱遥感技术在陆地植被研究中的最新进展。本书对一个复杂的主题采取了实用的方法，展示了使用高光谱数据研究植被的经验、效用、方法和模型。每一章都由包括该领域先驱在内的领先专家撰写，介绍了具体的应用，回顾了现有的最新知识，突出了所取得的进展，并为高光谱数据在植被研究及其众多应用(如作物产量建模、作物和植被生物物理和生化特性表征以及作物水分评估)中的适当使用提供了指导。这本综合性的书汇集了农业高光谱遥感、作物水分利用、植物种类检测、植被分类、生物物理和生化建模、作物生产力和水分生产力绘图以及建模方面的全球最佳专业知识。它提供了相关的事实，综合了研究结果，使读者能够正确地了解实际应用的最佳波段、使用全光谱的分析方法、旨在研究特定生物物理和生化量的高光谱植被指数，以及检测作物水分变异性、叶绿素含量和胁迫水平等参数的方法。 A collective "knowledge bank," it guides professionals to adopt the best practices for their own work.
