橄欖油含有葉綠素a，葉綠素b，和胡蘿蔔素等高熱吸收率的物質；高斯光束照射橄欖油時，橄欖油吸收的熱量，使橄欖油產生溫度梯度和折射率梯度，並產生熱透鏡(Thermal lens)和自調相(Self-phase modulation)現象。 以雷射光照射盛橄欖油水平置放的方型盒時，中央軸的照度最大，橄欖油的溫度最高，折射率和密度最小。由於對流作用的影響，使得光束照射到的橄欖油的上半部折射率梯度小於下半部；光束通過橄欖油後，在屏幕上出現的繞射圖樣呈現上半部的亮帶半徑小於下半部。 將橄欖油改置圓柱筒中，雷射光由上向下照射，可以消除熱對流現象。用不同功率的雷射，照射不同液柱高度，和不同熱吸收率的橄欖油；探討功率、液柱高度、和熱吸收率對:繞射亮帶最大半徑、繞射亮帶半徑隨時間的變化、和亮帶數目的影響。

Low-field (LF) MRI scanners have the power to revolutionize medical imaging by provid- 27 ing a portable and cheaper alternative to high-field MRI scanners. However, such scanners are usu- 28 ally significantly noisier and lower quality than their high-field counterparts. This prevents them 29 from appealing to global markets. The aim of this paper is to improve the SNR and overall image quality of low-field MRI scans (called super-resolution) to improve diagnostic capability and, as a result, make it more accessible. To address this issue, we propose a Nested U-Net neural network architecture super-resolution algorithm that outperforms previously suggested super-resolution deep learning methods with an average PSNR of 78.83 ± 0.01 and SSIM of 0.9551 ± 0.01. Our ANOVA paired t-test and Post-Hoc Tukey test demonstrate significance with a p-value < 0.0001 and no other network demonstrating significance higher than 0.1. We tested our network on artificial noisy downsampled synthetic data from 1500 T1 weighted MRI images through the dataset called the T1- mix. Four board-certified radiologists scored 25 images (100 image ratings total) on the Likert scale (1-5) assessing overall image quality, anatomical structure, and diagnostic confidence across our architecture and other published works (SR DenseNet, Generator Block, SRCNN, etc.). Our algo- rithm outperformed all other works with the highest MOS, 4.4 ± 0.3. We also introduce a new type of loss function called natural log mean squared error (NLMSE), outperforming MSE, MAE, and MSLE on this specific SR task. Additionally, we ran inference on actual Hyperfine scan images with successful qualitative results using a Generator RRDB block. In conclusion, we present a more ac- curate deep learning method for single image super-resolution applied to low-field MRI via a 45 Nested U-Net architecture.

此研究旨在探討當腸道沙門氏菌感染人類腸道上皮細胞（HT-29）時半乳糖凝集素-4（galectin-4）所扮演的角色。我們用野生型（wild-type）以及半乳糖凝集素-4 剔除（galectin-4 knockout）的HT-29細胞進行沙門氏菌感染。我們首先經由CFU計數探討galectin-4對細胞內細菌量的影響，並檢測細胞釋出的LDH及IL-18和mature caspase-1的量，以此研究galectin-4是否會活化發炎體（inflammasome）。結果發現， wild type HT-29 cells相較galectin-4 knockout cells有較少的活細菌，釋出的LDH，IL-18也較少。但在經過wortmannin（一種自噬抑制劑）treatment後，wildtype HT-29 cells釋出較多的LDH，IL-18，並且也釋出了mature caspase-1。這些研究結果顯示galectin-4能夠降低細胞內活細菌的量，且能夠活化inflammasome。

Given the high sensitivity of electronic instruments, electromagnetic field intensity measuring is now becoming an essential part of the industry. Current electric field intensity meters are unfit for individual use and focus mainly on electromagnetic radiation rather than the field itself. In ionic propulsion, the propulsion force is proportional to electric field intensity but the use of this property on measurement remains largely unexplored. Here, our team investigates ionic propulsion in electric fields generated by electro-static methods and then systematically varies the point of measurement inside the field, thereby altering the intensity of the field without focusing on electromagnetic radiation. By combining the Van de graaff generator with an adjustable ionic thrust propeller, we find that the propeller speed which is proportional to the electric field is directly determined by the electric field intensity. Furthermore, we applied stroboscopy to the system to measure RPM, and have achieved the direct interaction between field intensity and RPM, which could be a new meter for field intensity measurement.

Food safety was an important issue recently. Today sodium percarbonate was used to fake the vitality of shrimps to earn a good sell. However, it may cause harm to health because of the peroxides left over. To handle this problem, we set up two goals to achieve: detecting them and then removing them. In the past, the titration skill was an easy method for determining the concentration of H2O2. It not only spent too much time but also resulted in errors commonly. In this research, titanium sulfate and citric acid were used to prepare the colorimetric reagent. To measure the peroxides in water, several factors were controlled and the SOP for detecting and the calibration line for peroxides finally established. In practical, we turned the colorimetric reagent into the fast test paper which was easily for use. The other part of this research was to clear up the peroxides in water. We use titanium sulfate, hydrogen peroxide and citric acid as starting material via hot-bath method to prepare the nano-photocatalyst of titanium dioxide. Since the powder was inconvenient to deal with large amount of water. The powder-like TiO2 was further made into ball-shaped TiO2 in favor of water treatment and reuse. It was found that the photocatalytic performance of ball-shaped TiO2 was effective to be on duty for removal of the peroxides. In summary, this research provided two techniques to deal with the zombie shrimp. The novel method for synthesis of TiO2 catalyst and the preparation of colorimetric reagent for fast test paper were all in low cost. They had great potential to develop in marketing demand.
