At the website “MathLinks EveryOne,” we found a problem “Snakes on a chessboard,” which was raised by Prof. Richard Stanley. The following is the problem. A snake on the m n chessboard is a nonempty subset S of the squares of the board with the following property: Start at one of the squares and continue walking one step up or to the right, stopping at any time. The squares visited are the squares of the snake. Prove that the total number of ways to cover an m × n chessboard with disjoint snakes is a product of Fibonacci numbers. We call the total number of ways to cover a chessboard with disjoint snakes “the snake-covering number.” This problem hasn’t been solved since it was posted on September 18, 2004, so it aroused our interest to study it. First, we used the way in which we added each block to the chessboard, and therefore we discovered some regulations about the snake-covering number of the1 × n , 2 × n and 3 × n chessboard. Through “recursive relation” and “mathematical induction”, we proved the general term of the snake-covering number of the1 × n , 2 × n and 3 × n chessboard. In the following study, we found a key method in which we added a group of blocks to the chessboard. Finally, we proved the general term of the snake-covering number of the m × n chessboard. Also, we discovered the way to figure out the snake-covering number of the nonrectangular chessboard.在網站“ MathLinks EveryOne ”中，我們找到了一個有趣的問題“棋然上的蛇” ( Snakes on a chessboard ) ，這個問題是由教授 Richard Stanley 所提出。問題如下：在m x n棋盤形格子上，蛇由任意一格出發，但蛇的走法只能往右 → ，往上↑，或停住 ‧ 若此蛇已停住，將由另一條蛇來走，且不同蛇走過的格子不可重疊”證明：將 m × n 棋盤形格子完全覆蓋的總方法數為費氐（ Fibonacci ）數列某些項的乘積。我們將把棋盤形格子完全覆蓋的所有方法數稱之為“蛇填充數” 由於這個問題自從 2004年 9 月 18 日被登在網站上後，還沒有人提出解答，於是引發了我們研究的興趣。首先，我們使用了將一個一個格子加到棋盤上的方法，並發現了 l × n 、 2 x n、 3 × n 棋盤形格子蛇填充數的一些規律。我們使用遞迴關係及數學歸納法來證明 l x n 、 2 x n ， 3 × n 棋盤形格子蛇填充數的一般項。在接下來的研究中我們發現一個特別的方法，一次增加數個方塊 ‧ 最後我們證明了，m x n, ，棋然形格子的蛇填充數的一般項 ‧ 而且，我們也找到如何求出不規則棋盤形格子的蛇填充數。

Generally speaking in order for a exotic plant life to dominate over the local ecology, the following factors must hold true: 1. A close proximity of the environment (including geographical and climatic factors) 2. A lack of nature enemy and competitor 3. A strong reproductive and adaptability capacity. Base on the above factors, We will be using Field Observation record, Sample placement, virtual environment factor experiment and other methods to conducing our investigation. This study shown the African Touch-Me-Not（Impatiens wallerana） has a strong reproductive and adaptability capacity. Even under adverse condition the African Touch-Me-Not survive for a period of time. It can produce flowers then fruits all year round, within each fruit there is on average 45 seeds with, under the right condition, near 100% germination rate. It can also reproduce asexually via cutting. Taiwan’s warm and humid geographical condition is similar to its origin of Africa. And so far haven’t found any obvious natural enemy. In the future this plant will be likely to spread on the low to mid. level mountain region. It also can be seen that the divergence within its habitat is low. Therefore it will decrease the variety, the density and the diversification of the local eco-system. Here to advise the government’s forestry and agriculture department, to study the relevant ecological information on this species, when they are considering popularization this plant. Using the information to evaluate the impact of this plant may have on the environment, and use it as a guideline for their plant conservation policy. 一般而言，外來植物入侵本地原生植群成功的條件有：一、相似的環境（包括地理、氣候等因素）。二、缺乏天敵及競爭對手。三、旺盛的繁殖力和適應力。針對上述條件，利用野外觀察記錄、樣區設置及模擬環境因子實驗等方法，來探討非洲大鳳仙未來是否會在臺灣蔓延、擴展進而影響本土的生態系。結果顯示非洲大鳳仙有旺盛的繁殖力和適應力，?使在不利的環境下，短時間不會死亡。一年四季皆可開花結果，每粒果實平均有四十五粒種子。環境適宜時，有接近百分之百的萌發率，亦可用莖進行無性繁殖。另外，臺灣溫暖多雨的地理環境亦與其原產地非洲相似，且未發現明顯天敵，未來極有可能在中低海拔山區蔓延。調查也發現它生長的地區岐異度明顯偏低，使其他植物種類、密度減少，生物多樣性降低。因此建議政府、森林、園藝和農業工作人員在推廣時，多吸取相關物種的生態學資訊，評估其對環境可能造成之影響，以作為植物保育之重要參考。

罹患神經母細胞瘤的兒科病人，尤其是罹患stage IVs 神經母細胞瘤者，他們有些伴隨著非常嚴重的貧血，但卻檢測不出神經母細胞瘤已經侵犯骨髓；有時病情來勢洶洶，尤其是腫瘤細胞中已可偵測到N-myc 基因增幅者，診斷時腫瘤細胞可能已在腹腔四處擴散並已侵犯大部分的肝臟。但是，某些這種病患，特別是腫瘤細胞中N-myc 基因沒增幅者，即使在沒有治療的狀況下卻可能有自然恢復的現象，也就是腫瘤細胞會自動消退，但原因仍待進一步的證實與探討。可是，這些病人在其病情最嚴重的時候，骨髓內紅血球母細胞形態上的改變顯示可能與病毒感染有關。但是關於病毒來源的研究，現有的資訊仍然十分有限，其中最重要的是，病毒感染與引發其後天之免疫作用是否有關，更需要深層的研究。因此，為更進一步了解罹患神經母細胞瘤之兒科病人的病毒感染及病毒蛋白表現的作用，我們這次研究的目的在檢驗罹患神經母細胞瘤及貧血之兒科病人與微小病毒B19 (PVB19)、Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)、腸病毒71 型(EV 71)和巨細胞病毒(CMV)的關係，以及病毒蛋白表現對這些病人的作用與臨床意義。In pediatric patients with neuroblastoma, in particular, those with stage IVs neuroblastoma, sometimes the disease was combined with severe anemia. However, no tumor involvement was detected in the bone marrow. Although some of these patients may have N-myc gene amplification, and the disease could have invaded many abdominal organs, especially liver, interestingly, the disease might regress spontaneously in some of these patients. The medical reason of the spontaneous regression, nonetheless, remains to be determined. It is worth noting that morphological changes of erythroid progenitor cells in the bone marrow have suggested virus infection in these pediatric patients. However, the available information of viral origin is limited. Furthermore, it is possible that the virus infection in these patients could be associated with the revocation of immune responses related to the spontaneous regression of the tumor. In this study we will investigate the relationship of parvovirus B19 (PVB19), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), enterovirus 71 (EV71) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) with neuroblastoma by PCR in Taiwanese pediatric patients. Moreover, we will study the effect and the clinical significance of viral gene expression as well as N-myc gene amplification in these patients.

During an expedition to the White Sea Winter Coast, samples of schlich with numerous garnets were collected. The coast itself is primarily a set of high steeps of sandstones and mudstones with no garnets. On the beach, however, there are numerous pebbles of metamorphic rocks, and many of them contain garnets. They were brought there by the Quaternary glacier and the present day glacier activity. Their source could be the existing or fully eroded metamorphic rocks of the Kola Penninsila and Northern Karelia.\r Goal of the research: To discover the possible origin of the garnets.\r Tasks: 1) To analyze the structure and the chemical composition of the garnets. 2) To study the works on the garnets of the Kola Penninsila and Northern Karelia in order to compare the information to the results of the analysis.\r Methods: 1) Granulometric analysis; 2) Magnetic and electromagnetic separation; 3) Microscope study of the garnets; 4) X-ray diffraction analysis; 5) X-ray fluorescence analysis. \r RESULTS\r 1. The sample garnets could be divided into two types: the bright red and the pale pink.\r 2. Both types are almandines with spessartine components. The pale-pink one contains Arizona ruby components, and the bright red contains andradite ones. \r 3. Only a few samples from Khangaz Varaki, Malye Keivy, and Tersky Coast are similar to the garnets that we collected. It is possible that the glacier brought them from the Kola Penninsula, but it is also possible that the rocks, where the glacier brought our garnets from, have been totally eroded.

This research is about two ponds in the Ｂ park’s and the Ｄ park’s snail(Square Mystery Snail：Sinotaia quadrata) in Taipei city of Nei-hu District for research object, carry out the study of the following research proceed: 1.Discriminate the algae species that are growth on the snail shell and which is a kind of interaction with the snail; 2.The influence of the snail and algae with difference of temperature, salinity, pH value and dark ; 3. The factors affect algae growth on snail shell; 4.Use the variation of snail and algae to be a biological incator. The result manifestation: the algae that are growth on snail shell have two kinds, one is Cyanophyta and the other is Cladophora sp. The interaction between algae and snail belong to communalism, but under the condition of lacking of food, the snail then will eat the Cladophora sp. which grow on the shell of other snails. The temperature adapts aspect, upper limit of the feat existence of the snail should be low in 28℃. When over than 28℃, Cladophora sp. as the most strong, Cyanophyta is secondly, and the snail then is most poor. For the maximum tolerance of the salinity, the snail is about 4.375?, Cyanophyta is about 5.0?, Cladophora sp is then about 7.0?; Under the different salinity for the tolerance , the Cladophora sp. still the most strong, Cyanophyta is secondly, and the snail then is most poor. Under the dark environment, the speed of Cyanophyta begin to be bleaching is very fast than the Cladophora sp.. In the tolerance of pH value range: The snail is about pH=5～10, Cyanophyta is about pH=7～8, Cladophora sp. is about pH=6～8; When the pH value range is in the pH=5～8, the speed of the Cyanophyta occur changing is very fast than Cladophora sp.. The algae are growing on snail shell very different between two ponds, the main reason is water pH value dissimilarly: When pH value over than 8.5, there is no Cladophora sp. to grow on the snail shell, after the pH value to decrease, Cyanophyta then will compare early than Cladophora sp. to grow on the snail shell. Calculate by the classification of the freshwater biological incator : Two organic pollution degree of the ponds may be lain in theβ-mesosaprobic to theα-mesosaprobic, and the polluting degree of the Ｄ pond is more seriously. As for two ponds, have already faced what level of eutrophication? Belong to actually which stage of pollution grade? Not only added the classification data of floating and fixative algea in two ponds, and also according to the parts of chemistry analysis method measure of the data makes the substantial evidence, then could carry out the more accurate and thorough study in the days to come steadily studying process.本研究是以臺北市內湖區兩個綠地公園(Ｂ公園與Ｄ公園)池塘內的石田螺(Sinotaia quadrata)為研究對象，進行以下研究目的之探討：1.鑑別石田螺螺殼上藻類的種類及其與石田螺的互動關係；2.溫度、鹽度、酸鹼值及黑暗等環境因子的差異，對石田螺及螺殼上附生藻類的影響；3.影響藻類附生於石田螺螺殼上的因素；4.將石田螺及螺殼上附生藻類的變化作為監測環境因子或水質變異的指標現象。結果顯示：附生於石田螺螺殼上的藻類有藍綠藻(Cyanophyta)與剛毛藻(Cladophora sp.)兩類；與石田螺的互動關係應屬於片利共生(communalism)，但在缺乏食物的情況下，石田螺則會採食同伴殼上的剛毛藻。溫度適應方面，石田螺適宜生存的溫度上限應低於28℃，超過28℃水溫環境的耐受程度，是以剛毛藻為最強，其次是藍綠藻，而石田螺則為最差。對於環境鹽度最大耐受度方面：石田螺約為4.375??，藍綠藻約為5.0??，剛毛藻則約為7.0?；在不同鹽度環境下，鹽度的耐受程度，仍以剛毛藻為最強，其次是藍綠藻，而石田螺則是最差。在黑暗環境下，藍綠藻褪色產生白化現象的速度明顯地比剛毛藻要快了許多。在環境酸鹼值耐受的範圍方面：石田螺約在ｐＨ＝5～10 之間，藍綠藻約在ｐＨ＝7～8 之間，剛毛藻則約在ｐＨ＝6～8 之間；而酸鹼值範圍在ｐＨ＝5～8 時，藍綠藻產生變化的速度明顯地比剛毛藻還要快。而兩樣區池塘水體酸鹼值的不同，應是造成石田螺螺殼藻類附生現象差異的主要原因：當酸鹼值超過8.5 時，螺殼上就無剛毛藻附生，當酸鹼值降下後，藍綠藻則會比剛毛藻早出現在螺殼上。藉由淡水生物指標的分類推測：兩樣區池塘水體有機污染程度，可能介於β-中腐水性(β-mesosaprobic,βm)至α-中腐水性(α-mesosaprobic,αm)的範圍之間，而Ｄ池塘受污染的程度應會比Ｂ池塘還要更嚴重些。至於兩樣區池塘水體，已面臨了何種優養化的程度？究竟是屬於哪一個階段的污染等級呢？除須補充水體中浮游性及附著性藻類分類的詳細觀察資料外，仍必須參照部分水質化學分析法所測得的數據作佐證，才能在日後持續地研究過程中進行更精確及深入的探討。

近年來重金屬污染問題日益嚴重，因此檢測地下水、工業廢水中的重金屬含量為一重要課題。本實驗即是利用錄音機中的零件－石英振盪器作為電化學分析偵測的工作電極，在0.1 M KNO3（pH = 3）溶液中利用循環伏安法以50 mV/s 的掃描速度從 – 100 到 – 700 mV 持續掃描 10 圈，來穩定電極表面。 以方波陽極剝除伏安法（SWASV）模式設定預濃縮電位– 700 mV、預濃縮時間60 秒偵測重金屬的鉛離子。掃描電位範圍由 – 700 到 – 100 mV vs. Ag/AgCl 往氧化方向掃描。偵測鉛離子濃度範圍為200－600 ppb，之後可針對各種條件作最佳化的條件探討可降低偵測濃度及實際運用於地下水及工業廢水的檢測。 Heavy metal pollution becomes very serious. Lead (Pb) determination is a continuous research interest in clinical, environmental, and industrial application. The main causes for living biological media are mutagenic, carcinogenic, and teratogenic activity. The determination of trace metal in the ground and industrial waste water will be a important project. Here, we report a simple system which using quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) (use in radio machine) for working electrode. The QCM was first equilibrated in 0.1 M KNO3（pH = 3）base electrolyte for about 1 min before electrochemical experiments. It was then pretreated by continuous scans in the window from – 100 to – 700 mV at a scan rate of 50 mV/s until a stable background current obtained. The amount of Pb2+ was detected quantitatively using square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry（SWASV）. The potential range was set from – 100 to – 700 mV in the cathodic direction for most cases. The standard addition method concentration range is from 200 to 600 ppb. Analytical conditions were systematically optimized and extended to practical applications aslo.

Furthermore, is there any interesting results and applications？ Finally, the purpose of this paper is to develop a new proof of and related identities, but their derivations are more complicated. The following studies are completed under the instruction of the professor.

Miracles in life originate from daily life itself. What can be imagined can really be achieved. Hong Kong, as an international city, is small in area and densely populated. To utilize space, tall buildings inevitably emerge. Taking elevators has therefore become the daily routine of everyone of us. However, problems abound with the present elevator system. You have probably gone through the dreadful episode of waiting long for an elevator to come, and passage being interrupted by unreasonably frequent stops. Besides, it wastes space, since each elevator tube can only accommodate one elevator. This is why our Free-D Elevator System will revolutionize the present one. It consists of a large cylindrical tube, which can be divided into several smaller, imaginary sector-shaped tubes. In each small tube a large number of elevators move vertically by magnetic levitation. The elevators can also rotate from one tube to another, thereby avoiding collision. This innovative design will substantially increase the number of available elevators for given space. Most importantly, it is highly feasible.

正方形和長方形是每一個人都非常熟悉的圖形，但其中卻隱藏了非常多奇妙的“數學之謎”。 所謂「完美長方形」是：在一個長方形中 (長、寬不等)，能否分割出最少大小相異的正方形。 這個研究中，首先用「草圖」的解題方法研究完美長方形，接下來利用「平面圖形」的解題方法可簡化計算的過程，最後利用「對偶關係」證明出：完美長方形的最少階數為 9 階。 進而，我們將這個問題擴展至三維空間，思索在一個長方體中（長、寬、高都不等長） ，能否仿照二維空間，分割出最少大小相異的正方體，而完成這個研究。 Square and the rectangle are figures that everyone knows well very much, but what a wonderful " mystery of mathematics " is hidden among them. What is called the perfect rectangle is whether in a rectangle (its length and width is different ) could cut apart two squares as the least difference in size . In this research, the solution approach of "the sketch map" is used to study the perfect rectangle at first, then the solution approach of "the level figure" to simplify the complicatied calculation of the solving course , and "the dual relation" is finally used to prove 9 orders are the least orders for a perfect rectangle . And then, we expand this question to three-dimensional space, considering in a cuboid (its length, width, and height is different) whether could follow the two-dimensional space model to cut apart two squares as the least difference in size, and finish this research.

在2003 年台灣國際科展之作品說明書「Concatenating Squares」中【9】與2004第三屆旺宏科學獎「SA3-119 ：與特殊型質數之倒數關聯的兩平方總和的整數分解」成果報告書中【10】，就已有令人驚訝的結果。在2005 第四屆旺宏科學獎「SA4-298 ：分和累乘再現數產生的方法及其性質探討之推廣與應用」成果報告書中【11】，更是以逆向思維進行研究推廣，創造出許多新穎且引人注意的美麗數式，由原創性的觀點來進行逆向思維的研究。正由於這些再現數充滿奇巧，且與不定方程（代數）、簡單的數整除性分析（數論）以及同餘式理論都有所關聯，我們要發展前所未有的同步關聯與研究分歧， 且是最新的發現，更以豐富的想像力、創造力與推理能力提出令人耳目一新的重要結果，得到許多從未見過世面的美麗數式，回眸觀賞時內心充滿了數學之美！;Number which when chopped into two（three）parts, added / subtracted and squared（cubed） result in the same number. Consider an n -digit number k , square it and add / subtract the right n or n .1 digits. If the resultant sum is k , then k is called a Kaprekar number. The set of n -Kaprekar integers is in one-to-one correspondence with the set of unitary divisors of 10 n m1. If instead we work in binary, it turns out that every even perfect number is n - Kaprekar for some n . We wish to find a general pattern for numbers these numbers cubed or 3-D Kaprekar. We also investigate some 3-D Kaprekar of special forms. In addition, some results relating to the properties of the Kaprekar numbers also presented. This study indicates the “interesting” and “pragmatic” natures of the research project. We have developed the original results based upon his initiatives and has thus created a new horizon through the research project. This is the proudest achievement for this study. Generalization of Some Curiously Fascinating Integer Sequences：Various Recurrent Numbers！

為了瞭解黃斑黑蟋蟀叫聲和溫度之間的關係，我應用物理熱平衡原理，自製水浴槽控制環境溫度，以電腦錄音程式分別錄製15℃、20℃、25℃、30℃、35℃時的蟋蟀叫聲，利用Sound Forge軟體分析並比較不同溫度下的各種特性。結果發現所分析的chirp、chirp period、syllable period、pause均和溫度呈負相關，而單位時間內的叫聲次數則與溫度成正相關，並推導出15~35℃範圍內蟋蟀叫聲次數與溫度成正相關的公式。最佳直線為：﹙15秒內叫聲次數＋19.385﹚÷2.483=當時溫度﹙℃﹚，呈高度正相關﹙相關係數：0.9398﹚。本實驗也比較母蟋蟀對不同溫度下雄蟋蟀叫聲的偏好程度，發現母蟋蟀較偏愛25℃時的雄蟋蟀叫聲，此結果可能與雄蟋蟀在25℃時叫聲的波形最為穩定有關。為探測蟋蟀觸角上的溫度感受器位置，我們曾將不同部位的觸角加以剪除，結果顯示觸角剪除面積越大的雄蟋蟀越不傾向鳴叫，但無法證實是否為溫度偵測異常所導致。本實驗除供學術研究外，因黃斑黑蟋蟀在世界各地均有分布，所以希望能藉由分析溫度與蟋蟀叫聲的相關性實驗，未來嘗試能探討其在不同環境的適應行為亦或種化的可能性。另外，全球暖化問題日益嚴重，也希望能藉由相關實驗探討暖化對蟋蟀生態上的影響。最後，我們的實驗證明了蟋蟀叫聲和環境溫度確實有極大的關聯性，未來或許能參考蟋蟀感覺溫度的機制，製作出一個天然零污染的溫度計。 To find out the relationship of cricket’s calling and temperature, we use a hand-made water-bath tank to control the temperature and record the callings with microphone and software, Sound Forge. After analyzing the collected data, we’ve found that cricket’s chirp, chirp period, syllable period, and pause are indeed affected by temperature (15 degrees - 35 degrees C). Moreover, we also compare female cricket’s preference to the callings, and the result indicates that female cricket’s preference is changing with temperature. In the last, we tried to find out where the thermoreceptors are by cutting out the antennae. After cutting, crickets tend to not to make any calls at all, so we conclude the antennae might play an important role in sensing and calling. The experiment proves that this communication system is temperature coupled. Because the cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus, is a worldwide species, we may learn the accommodation or the possibility of performing a new species by researching the relationship of temperature and cricket’s callings. By the way, the Green House Effect is getting more and more serious, so we want to search for the influences on crickets that are caused by Green House Effect. The last but not the least, according to the report, maybe we can investigate the mechanism of sensing temperature and then make a natural thermometer that is no pollution in the future.

想像一下，原來固定的一個黑色大正方形(以下我們簡稱S1)四個角經過較小之正方形(以下簡稱S2)遮蓋後旋轉，為什麼會有放大縮小的感覺呢?(圖一) 我們猜測這是因為未被遮蓋部分(以下簡稱S3)的面積改變了，所造成的結果。令S1的邊長為 r，S2的一個小正方形邊長為n，k=r-n，θ為旋轉角度，我們實際算出了旋轉角度θ對S3的面積函數，
