本研究利用鳳凰木相剋物質，探討其對萵苣與大花咸豐草種子萌發及生長的影響，期望發展天然除草劑。研究動機來自於外來種大花咸豐草入侵嚴重威脅農業生態，本研究採用甲醇萃取、相剋物質粉末及葉片枝條粉末，透過室內培養與田間試驗，評估不同濃度對發芽率、胚軸、胚根及植株生長的影響。結果顯示，鳳凰木萃取液（1～5%）顯著抑制兩種植物的萌發，粉末處理則提高植物死亡率。本研究選取鳳凰木主要相剋物質試驗，綠原酸與鞣花酸抑制效果最佳，槲皮素較弱。研究指出，酚酸類為主要抑制因子，具備萌前與萌後的雙重抑制效果，其中萃取液與粉末可抑制萌發，而粉末分解後可能釋放養分促進後期生長，為天然除草劑的開發提供新思路。

Conspiracy theories are generally perceived as irrational, absurd and as having a negative effect on our reputation. Yet some people do not see them as such. This may lead us to wonder why and how an individual would come to believe or support such statements. In this work, the primary goal is to obtain the level of absurdity of various conspiracy theories so that they can be used in experiments designed to test Williams' “Strategic Absurdity Hypothesis”. In addition, this study attempts to demonstrate the link between conspiracy mentality and feelings of ostracism. In this research, I analyzed a group of 47 participants recruited via social networks in May 2023. The survey collected their demographic information, their conspiracy mentality, their feeling of ostracism, their knowledge of conspiracy theories and their perception of absurdity toward them. The results were analyzed using correlations and linear regressions. The results show a negative correlation between conspiracy mentality and the perception of absurdity for most theories. In other words, the higher a participant's conspiracy mentality, the less absurd the theory is perceived to be. Therefore, hypothesis (I) is partially supported. On the other hand, hypothesis (II), which says that ostracism predicts conspiracy mentality, is not supported by the results. These results are in line with Williams' “Strategic Absurdity Hypothesis” and Sterelny's signaling theory, explaining that an individual, by expressing agreement with a conspiracy theory typically perceived as absurd, damages their reputation in the eyes of others to show that they belong to the group. However, for the theories relating to COVID-19 and climate change, the conspiracy mentality does not predict the vision of absurdity, suggesting that their currentness and media coverage influence whether they are used as signals. The literature does not fully agree with our results and still presents very divergent opinions regarding the links between feelings of ostracism and conspiracy mentality. Indeed, it remains difficult to determine whether conspiracy mentality influences ostracism or vice versa. In conclusion, this study provides new ideas for future research on the origins and impact of the conspiracy theories.

本研究觀察臭巨山蟻（Camponotus obscuripes）處理同伴屍體的特殊行為。我們在三年間注意到，螞蟻基於巢穴衛生有「屍體清除行為」（necrophoresis），但在特殊狀況下 臭巨山蟻還會搶奪同伴屍體和搬屍繞行行為。我們進行一系列的實驗觀察，嘗試證明一些假設，最後得到以下結論： 一、臭巨山蟻在搬屍繞行同伴屍體時的行為與「屍體清除行為」有所不同，繞行行為通常在探索新環境時出現。牠們會將同伴屍體從棄屍場所搬出、舉起屍體在新環境四處移動，還會將屍體散佈在新的環境中，最後再將屍體移回棄屍場所 。 二、螞蟻在搶奪屍體的選擇上，可能與死亡時間有關。 三、螞蟻與其搬運的屍體之間不存在特定的配對關係。

One of the main factors that contribute to fire incidents and the excessive heat people feel during a heat wave is the building materials used, and one such material that possesses durable and heat-resistant properties is sandwich panels. A possible structure that can be used to model sandwich panels is honeycomb structures; however, further research has yet to be conducted on its applications as a heat-resistant urban construction material. This study aims to design a three-dimensional model of a honeycomb sandwich panel and simulate its performance under different thermal and structural stressors. A 3D model of the honeycomb sandwich panel was generated using Autodesk Fusion 360. Then, multiple versions of the panel were generated with varying heat-resistant core materials—namely, aluminum, nickel, nickel-copper alloy 400, and copper—along with polystyrene as the core material for the control model. The following properties of every panel were assessed using finite element analysis (FEA): static deformation, stress distribution, strain distribution, total heat flux, and thermal gradient. Results showed that when subjected to varying structural loads (2 kN, 5 kN, 7 kN), the nickel-core panel demonstrated the best results in terms of static deformation and strain distribution due to its relatively lower deformation and elongation values, respectively. Meanwhile, under the same structural loads, the aluminum-core panel performed better than other core materials in terms of stress distribution due to it having the relatively highest difference between its simulated von Mises stress and its yield strength. The honeycomb sandwich panels have also shown to possess heat-resistivity when subjected to a thermal load of 90°C, with polystyrene being the most promising material overall in terms of heat-resistance due to its relatively lower heat flux and thermal gradient. The results from this study would contribute to future research on honeycomb sandwich panels and may be used in real-life applications.

As of 2021, there are 368 harmful algae blooms and over 6000 invasive species in the United States of America. Furthermore, it is reported that the United States spends more than 11.1 billion dollars per year on clean-up methods for marine debris. However, there currently isn’t a method to monitor aquatic problems simultaneously, autonomously, and efficiently, creating a capability in the aquatic biosecurity sector. To combat this, we have created an autonomous vehicle that can conduct long-term monitoring of freshwater bodies for up to 60 hours.
