(一)去年沙士中含有黃樟素，引起國內各界的注目和廣泛的討論，台大醫學院教授林仁混先生在 73 年 10 月 12 日民生報中指出黃樟素是弱致癌物質。(二)目前對於黃樟素的研究，大部分著重於對高等哺乳類動物可致肝癌、胃癌、腫瘤 …… 等。小部分研究細菌，發現可致突變種呢？(三)用昆蟲來做此研究者甚少。黃樟素是否也能影響果蠅的生長、生殖或出現突變種呢？(四)國人飲食中常用的九層塔含有黃樟素，用來培養果蠅會怎樣？(五)用紫外線燈來處理在不同環境中長大的果蠅，結果如何？

看民俗技藝師傅「畫糖人」而引發了研究畫糖人的興趣，首先是認識糖的組成元素是碳、氫、氧，糖是碳水化合物。再探討糖的基本性質：糖的溶解量隨水溫升高而增多；糖量越多，糖水的沸點越高；糖水是中性的；白砂糖的熔點約 175.7℃；當白砂糖水加熱變成透明淺黃色液體時，就是雙醣分解成單醣的時候，也就是「糖煮熟」。最後研究如何成功製作畫糖人：發現糖煮熟了就能成功的製作畫糖人，而且以糖水加熱到透明淺茶色時，所做的畫糖人最像師傅的作品。畫糖人在金屬材質的桌板上較快凝固成型而且容易剝離。純度越高的糖（雙醣），所做出來的成品越晶瑩剔透。單醣（葡萄糖、果糖）無法製作畫糖人。先將糖煮熟，再加粉末添加物，或是用果汁取代水來煮糖，可以做出不同口味的「畫糖人」，創造出在市面上不曾出現過的畫糖人口味，這結果可推廣到市面上，讓「畫糖人」的世界更多「彩」多「滋」。

近幾年來，蠶繭彩色化已引起廣泛的注意，日本與中國大陸紛紛投入此研究領域。我們用食用色素、酸性染料和活體染色劑中性紅等色素水溶液，以沾附於桑葉餵食、浸泡蠶體、注射入蠶體血腔等方法，使白色繭品系的家蠶生產出多種顏色的彩色蠶繭，其中以附於桑葉餵食最有效率，我們就此法找出投與色素的有效期間，可以比日本、中國的方法更節省色素。同法處理黃色品系的家蠶則產生黃色與所加色素的混合色蠶繭。由於這樣得到的彩色蠶繭放久了都會褪色，我們試用奈米色素餵食家蠶所得彩色蠶繭，與一般食用色素所製成的彩色蠶繭比較，發現對各種光照、清潔劑清洗等處理，用奈米色素所得蠶繭明顯較用一般食用色素所得蠶繭不易褪色。這樣用奈米色素生產的彩色蠶繭，因為解決了褪色的問題而更具有潛在的產業價值。To make silkworm cocoons with different colors has received a great attention recently. Japan and China have invested great resources in this field of the study. In order to let white cocoon silkworms produce cocoons of different colors, we used the aqueous solutions of food dyes, acid dyes and neutral red, and fed the worms with mulberry leaves immersed with such aqueous solutions, or directly soaked or injected them with the solutions. We found that using mulberry leaves immersed in the dye solutions was the best approach. We improved this approach by finding a critical, effective time of applying dyes. It saved the dyes and labor than those of Japan and China. We also found that yellow cocoon silkworms produced yellow and mixing colored cocoons by the mulberry leaf feeding method with the same dyes. Because all colors of the cocoons mentioned above faded easily, we furthermore tested nano-dye and found that colors of the cocoons had better resistant to fading away in washing with detergents under various types and intensities of light illumination. This result suggested that nano-dye has a potential in solving the fading problem of the colored cocoons.

根據台北市體育學院運動器材科技研究所劉強教授指出甜蜜點(範圍)包含三個定義的區域：(圖A 改繪自聯合報)【1】一、碰撞中心：擊球時握把無撞擊感的位置。(物理學理上甜蜜點的定義點又稱『振盪中心』【2】(the center of oscillation)) 二、強力中心：擊球後產生最高速球的位置。(恢復係數最大) 三、節點：擊球後握把無振動感的位置。我們利用PASCO音頻接收器，測量到標準的比賽用球棒，受撞擊時會產生三個較明顯的振盪頻率(如圖A-右)。好的手工球棒會將這三個震波頻率的節點，安排在甜蜜區附近，使打擊者敲中該處時，球棒振動最小，握棒處受力最小，球與棒間的恢復係數最大，擊出的棒球可以飛得最遠。這個點(區域)就稱之為甜蜜點(The sweet spot)。

To choose the correct or the most similar meals by checking the combination and arrangement of the pictures chosen by users form the system data banks. Web-Service is a system structure establishes at the Internet. And its an open, dispersed software part. Its foundation is established at the standard agreement of HTTP,XML,SOAP,WSDL, and UDDI. The research proceeds by linking Web Service system and data-bank server lots of digital data are stored as words files and stylization documents without any structural words data. This kid of ward data are stored at file system, and many organized systems now store them at connected data banks. By doing this, people can make the most advantage of data banks- including efficient access, inquiry abilities, simple applies user’ interface, and safe remote access. People can find the best results and place them when this function finishes matching. It can not only eliminate language barriers but also make order procedure more convenient. It can also lower the mistake possibilities. In addition, we can increase or decrease pictures of data banks easily and fast. We can make the interface understood easily. We hope the applications and innovations can make it more convenient for people to order meals. And the business of restaurant can be developed successfully.

Steroid hormones are very important for physiological homeostasis, but some functions of steroids are still unclear during embryonic development. Embryonic cell movements are required forming embryonic body. Recently, there is already known Pregeneolone (P5) which could affect epiboly movement of zebrafish embryos is the first product of the steroidogenesis pathway, but effects of further downstream products on epiboly movement are unknown. In order to know this, we treat embryos with Pregnenolone (P5), 17α-Hydroxypregnenolone (17OH-P5), DHEA, Progesterone (P4), 17α-Hydroxyprogesterone (17OH-P4), 11-Deoxycortisol (D), or Testosterone (T). We found out that P5 can accelerate epiboly movement, 17OH-P5 and D have no significant effects on it, and DHEA, P4, 17OH-P4, and T can decelerate it. These results indicated that steroids play important roles on embryonic epiboly movement in zebrafish. 類固醇荷爾蒙對生理平衡很重要，但其對於胚胎發育的影響仍舊不明。胚胎個體的形成需要胚胎細胞進行不同的移動排列。目前研究已知類固醇荷爾蒙生合成機制的第一個產物pregnenolone (P5)對斑馬魚胚胎epiboly 移動有影響，但其它更下游的類固醇荷爾蒙對epiboly移動的影響仍然未知。為了了解類固醇其他下游產物對魚卵早期細胞移動的影響，將胚胎處理Pregnenolone (P5) 、17α-Hydroxypregnenolone (17OH-P5) 、DHEA 、Progesterone (P4) 、17α-Hydroxyprogesterone (17OH-P4)、11-Deoxycortisol (D)、Testosterone (T)，發現17OH-P5、D對epiboly 的移動沒有影響，而DHEA、P4、17OH-P4、T 會使其變慢。這些結果說明了類固醇對胚胎細胞的移動扮演著重要角色。

民國93 年敏督利颱風引進強烈西南氣流，連日豐沛雨量，引起台灣多處山區發生土石流災害，谷關地區災情嚴重。資料顯示，7 月2 日松鶴一、二溪爆發土石流，造成傷亡各1人，2 人失蹤。對外聯絡道路台8 省道崩塌中斷【1】。此次土石流造成大甲溪河道淤積，艾莉颱風來襲，溪水暴漲，沖毀博愛國小及長青橋，民房7 戶受損。好友曾經在此地區活動，目睹災前災後的景像。邀約她參加我們的專題，除借重登山經歷協助我們實地調查外，期待帶給這個專題身歷其境的感受。本文以土石流為對象，使用文獻探討及照片比對，結合現場調查，進行研究。結果顯示，土石流造成大甲溪河床上升15 公尺。松鶴一、二溪，均屬於土石流高危險溪流。肇因是九二一地震產生許多崩塌地，遇豪大雨，雨滴直接打擊地表，使逕流量增加，造成土壤嚴重流失。

在這篇研究報告中，我們討論的是一種方形集合圖形的數量。”多元方形鏈”約略在 60 年代被提出，衍生出一系列的問題和遊戲，例如熟知的電玩軟體 『 俄羅斯方塊 』 ，或是 『 益智積木 』 的遊戲，都是多元方形鏈的應用。在這些問題當中，最令人頭痛的難題就是 n 元方形鏈的圖形總數。為了解決這道難題，我們採用一種轉換方法將圖形轉換成序組，並且給出序組的性質，再據此寫成 C 語言的程式；反覆地修改程式以增進執行效率及速度，最後利用該程式成功地統計出圖形總數。 In this report, we discussed the amount of polyominoes, the graphs of a set of squares. “Polyominoes” has been brought up in 1960s, and later developed into a series of questions and games, such as a well-known video game — Tetrix, and the game of puzzle blocks. Both are the applications of polyominoes. Among those questions, the toughest one is the amount of n-polyominoes. To solve this problem, we used a method which transforms the graphs into sequences. By looking into the properties of those sequences, we obtain a set of rules that can be used to determine the quantity of n-polyomines. The rules are implemented into computer codes in C language with proper modifications made to speed up the efficiency of our algorithm. The computational results show that the amount has been successfully calculated.

桃園南崁溪河口位於竹圍漁港旁，河口附近兩支流匯流，河道變寬。每逢大雨沖刷河岸堆積沉積物。本研究採樣位置位於南崁溪河口附近，於河流左岸沖刷沙灘上，使用沉積物垂直分層取樣方法進行分析。第一次取樣2008 年10 月採ㄧ管，第二次取樣2009 年1 月採7 管，分析沉積物粒度隨深度變化情況，藉此了解南崁溪河水營力變化。經由兩次採樣粒度分析發現表層21 公分沉積物可能為東北季風之沉積物。第二次採樣7管沉積物分析，經對比63 到93 公分不等深度沉積物，發現四層特殊沉積層。依據各管沉積物層面深度繪製成層面立體圖發現層面向河面傾斜，且有類似河道旁沖刷崩落地形，有向河道中央移動之情況，代表河川沉積物逐漸增加。

一、目的：1.找出基隆沿岸是否受到塑膠微小物的污染，建立塑膠成分的簡易檢定法，3.分辨所發現塑膠微小物成分，4.試圖分析其污染源，並尋求減輕汙染方法。二、結果：本研究為首篇證實東北部海岸已遭受塑膠微小物污染之本土研究。我們想出了不用昂貴儀器的位之塑膠簡易成分判別法，發現海面漂浮的油渣含有塑膠微小物，還觀察到海岸生物（藤壺）由本來附生在岸邊的石頭上轉而附著於漂浮的塑膠垃圾及漁民和釣客所使用的浮標、漁網、浮桶等。三、為減少海岸的塑膠微小物污染，建議政府立法規定業者主義塑膠原料運送中產生的問題，並提倡垃圾分類，人民本身也應自我覺醒。Taiwan is an island, and the sea is very important for us. So in this study, we tried (1) to examine the small plastics (resin pellets and plastic fragments) pollution of the northeast coast, (2) to identify the components of unknown plastics by burning, soluability in organic solvents and relative weight but without using expensive instruments, and (3) to classify the small plastics we found and to find out where were they from. Our study is the first grassroot research proving that the northeast coast of Taiwan has been polluted by small plastics. We attempt to identify the components of unknown plastics without using expensive instruments. The present study discovers that there are many small plastics in the floating oil scum. The relation between the oil scum and small plastics needs more study. We finds marine life (bamacles) growing on floating small plastics. The ecological importance of this discovery needs more study. We also make suggestions for reducing the minute plastic pollution of the coasts: (1) the government should ask big companies to be more careful on the transport of plastic pellets, (2) people should be aware of the problems caused by small plastics.

以黃豆製作豆漿時，留下的豆渣中各種營養成分(粗蛋白、粗脂肪、灰分、碳水化合物等)之殘留率不低，豆渣有回收再利用之價值。豆渣較適之處理條件：溼豆渣先經粗篩，再以120℃熱風乾燥，豆渣之香氣、色澤、乾燥效果均佳。以豆渣取代15%之麵粉時，消費者喜好程度最高，但豆渣取代麵粉含量越高，則土司之高度卻越低。若改為額外添加15%豆渣之製作方法（麵粉含量不變），明顯改善土司高度過低之問題。測試土司內部組織之質地，發現豆渣土司硬度明顯高於白土司。官能品評試驗結果顯示，不同年齡、性別或整體消費者，對豆渣土司、白土司之喜好程度相近，並無顯著差異。
