The need for an objective classification of the thermal regions of Sri Lanka is emphasised. A brief account of the thermal climate of Sri Lanka is given. Regionalization based on thermal factors has been attempted quantitatively using factor, cluster and discriminant analysis. Three groups of cluster have been selected and mapped. The results are interpreted and related to the known thermal patterns of Sri Lanka.

S. Warren, H. A. Hamalainen, and E. P. Gardner, “Objective classification of motion- and direction-sensitive neurons in primary somatosensory cortex of awake monkeys.” It was incorrectly stated that Orban and co-workers(J. Neurophysiol. 45: 1059–1073, 1981) attributed direction selectivity to cortical neurons having a direction index (DI) ge 20. Orban et al. actually used a weighted average of DIs and defined cells with a mean DI (MDI) above 50 as direction selective. Their criterion for direction selectivity was stricter and not less stringent, as stated in the paper. This error does not alter any of the data or conclusions of Warren et al.

Today's society is a society of information explosion, the popularity of the Internet and development bring a lot of convenience to people, people can easily get a lot of information on the network, however, facing so many information, people prone to the problems of "information overload" and "resources disorientation. Therefore, the recommended system came into being, the recommendation system can provide people with the most in need and most concern to avoid the time of the search and comparison. This article intends to use the very mature recommendation system in the field of electronic commerce to distance education system and promotes personalized learning, shifting the traditional "what teachers teach, what students receive" to "what the students need, what the system provides, which is consistent of constructivism study philosophy. The analysis of users interested as the basis of the recommendation system, users clustering is very important, the objective classification of fuzzy clustering analysis can recommend for users to enjoy high-quality service.
