English reading is an important way to consolidate and expand English language knowledge, and it is also an important way to obtain information and understand British and American culture. Therefore, reading teaching has always been an important part of English education and teaching at all levels and types of schools, and college English teaching is no exception. College English teachers have been carrying out teaching reflections in their reading teaching practice and constantly exploring teaching modes and teaching directions that improve students’ reading engagement and reading comprehension ability. However, the current daily teaching of English reading still generally maintains the traditional teaching mode. The entire reading learning process is monotonous, boring, and stylized, and the ability to acquire and process information cannot be combined with language knowledge and language skills. This kind of teaching mode severely inhibited the college students’ involvement in English learning model. Based on the electromagnetic-polarization response expression in a uniformly polarized half-space, this paper transforms the problem of polarization parameter extraction into a minimum optimization problem and constructs a fitness function. A set of polarization parameters is selected to calculate the electromagnetic-polarization response under trapezoidal waves in a uniform half-space, and the basic particle swarm algorithm is used to extract single and multiple parameters, respectively. In this paper, by adding a window to the test data in the time domain, the multiplicative and additive interference in the test signal is suppressed, and the signal-to-noise ratio of the test result is improved. We use the platform built in this article to wirelessly test the temperature characteristics of the surface acoustic wave sensor. The research results identified eight cognitive attributes of English reading and successfully generated diagnostic information at the group and individual levels and finally formed graphics and textual diagnostic feedback. There is a certain correlation between students’ vocabulary mastery and English reading performance, which shows that the vocabulary teaching method can help students better understand the reading materials and improve their reading performance. Combining two student interviews and learning logs, it can be seen that students’ understanding and frequency of use of vocabulary knowledge have increased significantly after the action research. It is generally recognized that vocabulary has a positive effect on improving reading level and can be based on the recognition and understanding of vocabulary. The mastery of vocabulary can promote the improvement of college students’ English reading level to a certain extent. Learners should strengthen vocabulary learning and face up to the importance of vocabulary knowledge in English reading.

AbstractPlasmonic gold nanorods (GNRs) are finding increasing use in biomedicine due to their unique electromagnetic properties, optical contrast enhancement and biocompatibility; they also show promise as polarization contrast agents. However, quantification of their polarization-enhancing properties within heterogeneous turbid media remains challenging. We report on polarization response in controlled tissue phantoms consisting of dielectric microsphere scatterers with varying admixtures of GRNs. Experimental Mueller matrix measurements and polarization sensitive Monte-Carlo simulations show excellent agreement. Despite the GNRs’ 3D random orientation and distribution in the strong multiply scattering background, significant linear diattenuation and retardance were observed. These exclusive measurable characteristics of GNRs suggest their potential uses as contrast enhancers for polarimetric assessment of turbid biological tissue.

The hydration shells of proteins mediate interactions, such as small molecule binding, that are vital to their biological function or in some cases their dysfunction. However, even when the structure of a protein is known, the properties of its hydration environment cannot be easily predicted due to the complex interplay between protein surface heterogeneity and the collective fluctuations of water's hydrogen bonding network. This manuscript presents a theoretical study of the influence of surface charge heterogeneity on the polarization response of the liquid water interface. We introduce a new computational method for analyzing simulation data that is capable of quantifying water's nonlinear polarization response and determining the effective surface charge distribution of hydrated surfaces over atomistic length scales. When applied to a protein, this method is capable of revealing new insight into the influence of conformational dynamics on hydration structure, as we highlight by illustrating how salt-bridge formation enhances the polarization of the local hydration shell. To illustrate the utility of this method, we present the results of molecular dynamics simulations of liquid water in contact with a heterogeneous model surface and the CheY protein.

We propose a new class of computer-generated holograms whose far-fields have designer-specified polarization response. We dub these Jones matrix holograms. We provide a simple procedure for their implementation using form-birefringent metasurfaces. Jones matrix holography generalizes a wide body of past work with a consistent mathematical framework, particularly in the field of metasurfaces, and suggests previously unrealized devices, examples of which are demonstrated here. In particular, we demonstrate holograms whose far-fields implement parallel polarization analysis and custom waveplate-like behavior.
