This project aims to improve the quality of toilet hygiene. The product designed should fulfill the requirements of being an environmentally friendly, user friendly and economical toilet seat system which guarantees the safety and hygiene of the toilet. This project also aims to discover the efficiency of the toilet seat system in eliminating pathogens through conducting various experiments.\r In this project, the photocatalytic property of titanium dioxide is applied. When titanium dioxide is under exposure to ultraviolet radiation, they generate free radicals, which are efficient oxidizers of organic substances. Also, research has shown that the safest ultraviolet light used will be UVA. Thus, by using titanium dioxide paint under exposure to ultraviolet light to oxidize pathogens and toxins, the aims will be achieved. Other than that, experiments will be conducted to explore the efficiency of titanium dioxide under exposure to UV radiation in eliminating pathogens by counting the number of bacteria on the toilet seat system after different time intervals the seat system has been turned on.\r The procedure of constructing the product includes drafting the product, purchasing the appropriate apparatus and materials, constructing the prototype, and checking if the product fits the goals set. Lastly, improving the design based on the flaws found during the checking procedure, as well as checking the product to see if it fits the original goals set.\r The procedure of the experiments aimed to explore the efficiency of titanium dioxide under exposure to UV radiation in eliminating pathogens conducted includes\r counting the number of bacteria on the toilet seat system after different time intervals by inoculation of bacteria on the agar plates.\r Test results showed that the number of bacteria had a steady and notable decline after different time intervals. Results also showed that bacteria would be thoroughly terminated after the system had been turned on for at most one hour. The information was then used to set the delay timer to restrict the amount of time the ultraviolet lamp was turned on to save energy.\r Moreover, the toilet seat system has also been improved so that it will complete the automatic cleaning procedure even without the user lowering the toilet seat. This improvement was made so that the product could be more convenient to toilet users.\r The system also deodorizes the toilet as the oxidization of bacteria and organic substances reduces the putrid odor released by them when they carry out chemical reactions.\r In conclusion, the project succeeds in accomplishing the goals set and is capable of improving the quality of toilet hygiene, especially in common households. The project is also successful in finding out that the toilet seat system is efficient in eliminating pathogens.

It is hoped that this research will provide a foundation to further promulgate the high school science education and research, and may enrich the natural ecology protection and education materials for the loving care of local environment. The investigation started from April, 2003 to May, 2004, or for 14 months period and amounted to 85 times of field observations at night. It was confirmed that there were 37 species of amphibious and reptile ( 2 classes 3 aria 13 families 24genus),amphibious species: 4 families 13 species, lizard: 4 families 9 species, snake: 4 families 13 species, turtle: 1 family 2 species. In regard to the number of times of appearances, amphibious species of Rana latouchii had the most appearances with 1,547 times, and the least appearances was the Rana longicrus and the Rana swinhoana with only 6 times; for the lizards, Japalura polygonata xanthostoma had the most appearances with 1,995 times, and the least appearances was Eumeces elegans with only 4 times; for the snake and turtle, Trimeresurus mucrosquamatus had the most appearances with 85 times; for the Amphiesma sauteri sauteri, Boiga kraepelini, Lycodon ruhstrati ruhstrati, Oligodon formosanus, Ptyas mucosus, Ramphotyphlops braminus , Cistoclemmys flavomarginatn and Mauremys mutica , each had appeared only 1 time. On the appearance frequency, within the 14 months, amphibious species Rana latouchii and Rana kuhlii, Rana latouchii appreared 97.65%, the highest within the 85 investigations period, and the least was the Rana longicrus with only 3.53%; lizard Japalura polygonata xanthostoma had appeared within these 14 months, but in 85 investigations period, their frequency was 75 times, or 97.65% at the highest frequency. Eumeces elegans there upon within the 14 months and 85 investigations, had the lowest frequency each at 21.43% and 3.53%; for the snake and the turtle species, Trimeresurus mucrosquamatus within the 14 months and 61 appearances had the highest frequency record at 100% and 71.76%; but Cistoclemmys flavomarginata and Mauremys mutica only appeared once in a month and, therefore its frequency was at 7.14% and 1.18%. For the distribution breadth, in 22 investigation sample areas, amphibious species take Rana latouchii of the amphibious kind had the biggest record at 95.45%, and the smallest was Rana longicrus and Rana swinhoana at 18.18%; for the lizards, Japalura polygonata xanthostoma was 100% as the biggest, and the smallest was Hemidactylus bowringii at 9.09%; for the snake, the Trimeresurus mucrosquamatus was at 86.36% as the biggest; the turtle species had only 4.55% distribution breadths. For the number of appearance in each area, amphibious species in area A had the most with 11 species, lizard of second period school area had the most with 7 species, the snake of area AB had the most with 9 species. In all other areas, the amphibious reptile species number in area AB had the most with 22 kind of species. From the results of the research, the biodiversity of amphibious and reptile species within the investigation areas is very high, Rana latouchi is the codominant of Frog; Japalura polygonata xanthostoma is the codominant of Lizard, and Trimeresurus mucrosquamatus is the codominant of Snake.

在先備知識中，我們知道在缺少營養鹽及紫外線傷害下，浮游藻類的葉綠體會因為過氧化物（R.O.S.）的增加而受到破壞，進而影響光合作用的進行，甚至導致死亡。所以確實了解常見浮游藻類生理狀態和環境的影響，以期待未來可利用大幅度提高浮游藻類生產力的方式有效降低溫室效應的影響為本實驗的主要目的。故實驗設計針對兩種常見的海洋種浮游藻類（Tetra、Ske），在不同紫外線光譜（UVAB、UVC）的照射下，觀察R.O.S.的產生量和T-T dimer的表現狀況，並對照兩者之間的關係。結果我們發現：綠藻（Tetra）和矽藻（Ske）在UVAB、UVC 的照射下皆會產生R.O.S.，且綠藻產生的量較少；但在UVC 照射下皆有DNA 損傷（產生T-T dimer）。故推估並不是綠藻（Tetra）擁有紫外線的特殊防禦機制，而是能較有效地代謝R.O.S.。As we know, under the condition of unorganized salt’s shortage and the harm of the ultraviolet ray, the phytoplankton’s chloroplast will be destroyed because of the increasing peroxide (R.O.S.). Furthermore, the ultraviolet ray will have an effect on the process of photosynthesis, and even result in the death of phytoplankton. So, we intend to promote the production of phytoplankton in order to lower the influence of greenhouse effect by probing into the environmental influence on the physiology of phytoplankton. The experimental is designed to observe two common marine phytoplankton: Tetra and Ske. By close observing Tetra and Ske exposed to different wavelength of ultraviolet way (UVAB and UVC ), we contrast the production of R.O.S. with the appearing of T-T dimer. We observe that both Tetra and Ske will produce R.O.S. after being exposed to UVAB and UVC , but Tetra produce less than Ske, and that UVC will do harm to both the DNA of Tetra and Ske (producing T-T dimer). Based on the result of the experiment we estimate that Tetra can catobolize R.O.S. efficiently instead of having a unique defensive mechanism against ultraviolet ray (UVAB and UVC under discussion in this experiment.)

高中物理課本提到波動時，只討論到簡單的均勻繩中弦波傳遞的情形。我們想進一步研究不均勻介質中弦波形成駐波的現象。

爸爸買了 NOKIA 新手機，裡面還有遊戲真好玩。可是有一個遊戲好難，於是到學校請教老師。老師說這個題目很不錯，讓我們找幾位同學一起研究，同學聽了也很有興趣，老師就指導我們做研究。

本研究是對紅姬緣椿象做生態觀察，並藉由實際飼養紅姬緣椿象來觀察其生活習性、生長過程、身體構造。觀察飼養紅姬緣椿象的過程中，我們得到以下的結論:一、生長過程:卵期、幼蟲期、成蟲期。二、雄蟲與雌蟲的交尾時間長短會影響雌蟲的產卵數目多寡。三、雌蟲的體形大小與其產卵數目多寡無關。四、季節(溫度變化)會影響紅姬緣椿象的成長天數。五、溫度高低會影響卵的孵化快慢；溫度愈高，卵的孵化天數會減少。六、在校園實際觀察紅姬緣椿象的出現數量多寡，與溫度高低、天氣好壞有關係。晴天時，中午的溫度愈高，椿象出現數量多；陰天、雨天時，早晨的溫度較低，椿象出現數量較少。

本研究以實作字體風格轉換的生成對抗網路模型為動機，將Conditional GAN當作模型的基礎，探討pix2pix模型及其他研究的一些方法對模型會產生甚麼影響，以得出能最優化預測成效的深度學習模型。 首先進行的是前處理的步驟，將字體的truetype檔案轉換成模型輸入的jpeg檔，再以生成器（Generator）和判別器（Discriminator）建立Condional GAN的基礎模型，然後探討加入U-Net、Category Embedding等方法，以及訓練資料集大小對模型造成的影響，最後實作整合的pix2pix模型和CycleGAN模型進行比較。 經過實驗後發現，U-Net和Category Embedding都對模型的預測成果有所幫助，而使用越多字體進行訓練會有越好的成效。另外，對相似的字體而言，CycleGAN的效果較好，而對兩種風格差異較大的字體則需用Category Embedding的方式，融入更多字體進行訓練以達到更好的成效。

在網際網路蓬勃發展的時代，電腦病毒也更加的猖獗。雖說防毒軟體百家爭鳴，但對於未知病毒的防治技術仍然束手無策。本研究的目的在追溯出電腦惡意程式運行模式，利用IDA靜態反編譯軟體與病毒原始碼尋找出病毒共同的特徵，阻斷其滋生途徑。 本研究在實驗中，研究者利用Borland C++ Builder 6作為應用程式開發環境，配合WinAPI函數與TRegistry類別設計出參數監控系統。研究顯示不論是修改於Window 9x架構下的win.ini, system.ini，或是Run與Run Service之下的資料項，本系統都能有效運作。此系統能成功的攔截到惡意程式對Registry鍵值的讀寫，亦即當使用者否決其修改鍵值時，惡意程式無法在重新開機後運行；易言之，惡意程式失去執行效力。 實驗結果發現，參數監控系統可攔截惡意程式之修改命令，防止未知病毒與惡意程式開機自動運行，以此達到未知病毒的攔截基礎技術。本研究之結果可補強市售防毒系統，對於未知病毒的攔截，能達到完整的防護效果。 Computer viruses become more rampant in the rapidly-developing era of Internet. With the various kinds of Anti-Virus software, people still can do nothing about detecting the unknown viruses. This research aims to trace back the computer virus function mode. By using IDA Pro Disassembler and Virus Source, we can find out the common characteristics of viruses. Thus, we can stop viruses from thriving. The experiment uses Borland C++ Builder 6 as the Registry Detection System by coordinating Win API and TRegistry. It works no matter by modifying win.ini and system.ini under the structure of Window 9x or by modifying Run Value and RunService Value. Moreover, it can intercept the viruses from reading and writing of the ValueKey. As the users deny the modified ValueKey, the viruses cannot run after resetting. In other words, the viruses lose their effects. The results present that Registry Detection System can intercept the modifying commands and prevent the automatic running from unknown viruses. By doing so, we can acquire the basic technology of intercepting the unknown viruses. The application of this study can improve the functions of Anti-Virus. In this way, through protection from unknown viruses can be obtained.

My school requires year 13 students to complete a year long project of a topic of their choice, culminating in the presentation of a thesis, a display and speech to a public audience. Many different topics appealed, but in the end I decided to build a micro wind-turbine. I have always been fascinated with mechanics, mathematics, engineering, aerodynamics and electricity. A wind turbine is a mixture of these technologies, with the overall goal of electricity production. In a world that is starting to see the true costs of fossil fuels, renewable energy seems to be increasingly popular and the demand for electricity is always growing.\r I was aware that building a wind-turbine from the foundations up wouldn’t be easy. Many of the experts I contacted in the early days cautioned me against trying such a complex thing in one year, at the same time as completing a full Year 13 course. There were, however, people prepared to support me. Michael Lawley, who builds micro wind turbines in New Plymouth was very helpful, just full of priceless knowledge and gave me a few basic parts to start with. The knowledge gained from Doug Clark, who also builds his own 11 kW wind turbines, was such an inspiration. Later I had practical help from Wilson Springford and Darron Matthews.\r I investigated and documented the history of and current state of wind technology, as well as my own experience and learning in the design, construction and testing process. I thought it would be interesting to find out how the electrical and mechanical side works.\r The generator, a washing machine motor, needed to be completely rewired, and converted to DC (direct current) from AC (alternating current). I built my own 3-phase AC to DC converter.\r Other parts like the disc brakes and bearings had to be found. The rest was hand-made and every part, to a certain extent, had to be modified. Probably more than twenty braking system design attempts led to the final decision to incorporate the wind-activated hydraulic disc brake where the wind paddle starts to ease the brake on over a certain wind speed.\r I studied the dynamics of wind turbine blades, their shape, the material they were made from and how this affected their performance. The decision to make my own blades helped me gain a great sense of achievement and knowledge of blade design. I found some New Zealand made 100% recycled plastic pipe, an added bonus because I wanted to have minimal environmental impact. I designed the turbine with three blades to give better starting torque along with a lower top speed, perfect for how I wired the generator.\r I designed the swivel, the part of the wind turbine that enables the power cables to get from the turbine down the tower without twisting up and has the job of carrying the whole turbine, which is mostly made from recycled aluminium. The steel and bearings used to create the swivel were all second-hand parts and materials. The power from the turbine passes through the swivel into the cables and down the tower. The main mast of the tower is a little over 4.7 metres and pivots on two shorter supporting poles which go down around 2.6 metres to the bottom of the reinforced concrete foundation.\r I managed to, design and construct an operational prototype micro wind-turbine, incorporating recycled and recyclable materials as much as possible, with the end result surpassing all expectations.

當我們學習到一一第五單元植物的光合作用。植物行光合作用時，生長在地面上的植物要吸收空氣中的二氧化碳。人人皆知，但是如何證實呢？課本上未說明，我們很想知道，使請問老師：「沒有二氧化碳，光合作用是否能進行？」老師告訴我們大家想個方法實驗，觀察看看！
