    The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of environmental education on students’ attitudes about the environment in Chinese higher education. The findings showed that students’ environmental attitudes can be greatly enhanced by college-level ecology and environmental education. One of the most major factors influencing students’ environmental attitudes in the context of college environmental education is subjective norms, and curriculum education also has a big impact on this. It is possible that Chinese college students today lack the self-efficacy necessary to safeguard the environment since perceived behavioral control has less of an impact on college students’ environmental attitudes than subjective norms and curricular education. This highlights the need of promoting environmental practices and improving college students’ self-perceive and capacity for environmental protection. The study also showed that factors including gender, location, educational level, and economic status of the family had no impact on college students’ environmental attitudes. The results of this study can be used to examine the factors influencing the environmental views of Chinese college students and to teach educators how to raise college students’ awareness of the environment through curricular modifications, classroom instruction, and perceived behavioral control.</div

    A Time-Critical Adaptive Approach for Visualizing Natural Scenes on Different Devices

    No full text
    <div><p>To automatically adapt to various hardware and software environments on different devices, this paper presents a time-critical adaptive approach for visualizing natural scenes. In this method, a simplified expression of a tree model is used for different devices. The best rendering scheme is intelligently selected to generate a particular scene by estimating the rendering time of trees based on their visual importance. Therefore, this approach can ensure the reality of natural scenes while maintaining a constant frame rate for their interactive display. To verify its effectiveness and flexibility, this method is applied in different devices, such as a desktop computer, laptop, iPad and smart phone. Applications show that the method proposed in this paper can not only adapt to devices with different computing abilities and system resources very well but can also achieve rather good visual realism and a constant frame rate for natural scenes.</p></div

    Evaluation of tree importance.

    <p>a. Our method to evaluate tree importance. The level of detail for a tree is related to viewpoint, tree position, visual angle and tree size. P4 has a higher level of LOD than P3 because P3 has a longer distance to viewpoint. P1 has the same distance to viewpoint as P2, but P1 has a higher level of LOD because it has a smaller visual angle. Although P4 and P5 have the same distance to viewpoint and the same visual angle, P4 has a higher level of LOD than P5 because P4 has a larger crown. b. Comparison with traditional LOD. Using traditional LOD method, P1 and P3 between range R1 and R2 have lower LOD level than P5, which is different from the result of our method.</p
