在這篇報告中，特別針對了凝膠的機制去做探討，以許多的實驗數據，再輔以凝膠的基本定義，去臆測各種有關於凝膠的老化機制，並藉由其過程中推斷出一些有趣的性質： 1. 當膠體內水分含量不同，與凝結後的醇類膠體有相當的影響。 2. 凝膠老化後形成的結晶形狀，因凝膠溶質、溶液內互溶性的不同，形成了不同凝聚程度的絮聚現象。 3. 同種陰陽離子在不同碳數的醇類凝膠中，因為與水溶液的互溶性也有所不同，間接影響了凝膠的形成速度，這對於安定來說，包含了很大的意義存在。 4. 對於其老化的速度，會因其安定程度而有所影響。 5. 老化後的溶液內的陰陽離子濃度，會直接影響其再次安定與老化的情形。 In this report, we especially do the discussion to the mechanism of the gel. With a lot of experimental data and the basic definition of gel, we conjecture various kinds of aging mechanism about the gel, and infer some interesting problems from its course: 1. Moisture content in the gel effect the gel’s quality after alcohol condensed greatly. 2. Because of dissolving difference between the alcohol and the other substances, crystallization forms after the gel aged have formed different degrees phenomenon of gathered. 3. The same kind of negative and positive ion among the alcohol gel that have different carbon atoms. Because of dissolving difference between the ions and the solution, the ions influence forming speed of gel indirectly. To being stable of the gel, this phenomenon includes very great meaning. 4. Stable degree of the gel can influence its speed of aging. 5. The consistency of negative and positive ion in the aging solution of the gel can influence its stable and aging situation again directly.

本研究透過對蕃茄施予短時間的不同高鹽份濃度刺激，觀察植株成長 情形並對果實進行品質測定，本研究對於品質之定義著重於總抗氧化能力、糖度及硬度的檢測。由實驗結果得知Na+、Cl-離子所造成的滲透壓差，確實有助於可溶性固形物及Na+、Cl-離子的累積，對於果實糖度及硬度上皆有顯著變化。但對於如何造成總抗氧化能力值的提升，在未來的研究中會再深入探討。We observe the germination of the tomatoes and assay "the quality" of the fruits in our research by giving plants short-range acridness of different high salinity. In this research, the definition of “quality” emphasizes the anti-oxidized ability, the brix, and the hardness. By the experimental result knew Na+ and Cl- ion creates the osmotic pressure, truly is helpful to the Soluble Solid Content and the Na+ and Cl- ion accumulation. Yet regarding by what the anti-oxidized ability promotes, we will treat in-depth in our intended research.

Our research is connected with the problem of the mercurious wasre products (MWP) recycling, luminescent lamps take a great part among them. The problem of recycling MWP is topical not only in Yakutsk, but also in other cities of Russia because of its toxic influence on the human’s body. Mercury is the top among eight the most dangerous metals. I have analyzed the conditions of recycling of luminescent lamps in Yakutsk schools. I have got data on the problem. There is a great amount of the fused luminescent lamps is stored in the territory of schools, it produces danger for the pupils’ health. On the research work I have proposed some ways of solution of the problem.

Farmers in many countries are legally required to identify livestock with some sort of tagging system. Tagging is required for ownership, breeding and as a means of tracking livestock during a disease outbreak.\r New Zealand farmers are required to fit all livestock with two ear tags (one in each ear). Ear tags are applied in a similar way to the piercing of human ears. The two tags are of different sizes and are known as the primary and the secondary tags. The primary tag is physically bigger than the secondary tag.\r We farm deer and have noticed that after tagging some deer develop ear infections at the site of tagging.\r A randomized controlled trial was undertaken in 105 fawns to test the hypotheses:\r ‧ Pre treatment of the ear tag with liquid iodine will reduce post tagging infection.\r ‧ A reduction in ear infections as a result of tagging will lead to more rapid weight gain.\r The treatment group had iodine applied to the sharp part of both primary and secondary tags immediately prior to tagging of the fawns. The control group was tagged in the usual fashion. Fawns were then assessed for infection at 6 and 11 weeks after tagging. Each ear was individually graded for infection and recorded against the number of the animal. Grading was on a scale of 0-3: zero having no infection; 1-slight redness; 2-a larger ring of redness and possibly some dried blood; 3-as for grade 2 plus swelling of the ear around the pin.

CD157 is a 31kDa ectoenzyme that is expressed at elevated levels in patients\r with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The full function of this protein has yet to be\r determined, and the correlation between CD157 and RA is not well\r understood.

在本次的實驗中，我們藉由拉午耳定律的公式及一條由作者從實驗中推論而得的公式，可以簡單的求出不同溶液的分壓。我們只需要一個自製式的簡易裝置，在裝置底下放置被測量的溶液，並密封使其成為封閉系統，其頂端為一銅箔，在銅箔上使用適合的溶液，藉由上方溶液蒸發量與下方不要放置溶液蒸發量的差異之值比較，即可求出其下方兩種成份系的溶液中各種溶液在不同莫耳分率下的分壓以及能量的傳遞，雖然會有誤差的存在，但比照一般利用光譜法來測量的方式，成本卻降低很多，且經由公式，也可估計各點的活性係數，比之以往簡易很多，因此可當作針對的高中生示範教學及教具，使同學更能了解兩成分係非理想溶液在拉午耳定律中之差別。This study shows that is easy to figure out the partial pressure of the different solutions by applying the formula of the Raoult's laws and a formula computed by the authors from their experiment data. All that is needed is a simple hand-made device. In the experiment, the device was sealed into a closed system after the solution to be measure was placed at the bottom of the device. A proper liquid was put in the top piece of the device, which was made of copper foil. By computing the difference between the amounts of evaporation of the top liquid with and without the bottom solution, we figured out that the two-component solution is the partial pressure and energy transmission of the solutions at varied mole fractions. Though errors do exist, cost was much lower by this method than by the spectrum method. Besides, the formula makes it easier to estimate the activity coefficients at different points. Therefore, the study can be applied in physics teaching in senior high school to facilitate students' understanding of the differences between two-component solutions in the Raoult's laws.

這是一種可在膨脹狀態及未膨脹狀態間轉換的膨脹收縮瓶塞。本設計之瓶塞包含一彈性橡膠之塞座及一剛性塑膠之旋轉控座。該瓶塞在未膨脹狀態，可將瓶塞置於平口內將瓶塞順時針方向旋轉90度使瓶塞由未膨脹狀態轉換至膨脹狀態將瓶子密封；欲開瓶時將瓶塞逆時針方向旋轉約90度使瓶塞由膨脹狀態轉換至未膨脹狀態，可輕易將瓶塞從瓶子內拉出。根據顧客之需求設計瓶塞並選定適當之塑膠材料以製作旋轉控座及適當之衛生橡膠以製作塞座，依廠商提供塑膠及衛生橡膠之特性資料做有限元素分析預測橡膠元件受撐大之變形量，進行加工與製造印證分析之結果，與預期目標有相當的差異，故製作簡易之試件進行探求塞座內縮量與瓶塞膨脹量之關係， 探求瓶塞膨脹量與瓶子所能承受的壓力之關係，進而逆向設計瓶塞之塞座內縮量。 This is a kind of bottle plug that can change at the situation of swell or unswell.The design of this bottle plug includes a rubber plug and a rigid plastic controller that can revolve around. We can put the bottle plug at the top of the bottle and rotate it 90° c.w., the bottle pug will be at the situation of swell and then seal up the bottle. If we want to open the bottle, we just rotate 90° c.c.w., and the bottle plug will be at the situation of unswell and then we can pull the bottle plug out easily. I design this bottle plug according to the need of the customers; choose the certain plastic material to make the rigid plastic controller, and the properly rubber to make the plug; analyze and predict the amount of deformation by Finite Element Method in accordance with the characteristics of rubber and plastic supplied by the factories. However, the result and the expected result are quite different. In order to solve the problem, I make an easy sample to search for the relationship between the contraction of the rubber plug and the swells of the plastic controller and also the relationship between the swells of the plastic controller and the pressure that the bottle can endures. Then I design the contraction of the rubber plug on the base of the result of the experiment I made above.

This project determined which varietal of grapes grew best in the Lytton / Lillooet area. This project specifically measured growth rates, maturity levels, and breakage rates of the 18 grape varietals (9 red, 9 white) that grew on different slope positions. This experiment determined which varietal was best suited for the site specifically chosen in Lillooet and provided a ranking of the most desirable varietals for potential grape growers.

我們試著尋找所需最小的城堡個數以看守整個a × b × c (a,b,c ? N) 的長方體。所謂城堡是一種棋子，當放置城堡的位置是(x, y, z) ，則(x, y,t)、(x,t, z)、(t, y, z) (t 是任何不超出邊界的正整數)是這個城堡可以看守的格子。我們用這些城堡來完全看守長方體，試著找出其最小值。在2005 年我們猜測了a = b = c 、a = b c 、a > b > c 的上界，而在2006 年時完成了a = b = c 、a = b c 的大部分情況的證明，少數不能解決的部份也提供了不錯的上界。目前我們在a = b = c 、a = b c 的情況幾乎完全解決，目前正在向a > b > c 的部份發展。A generalized searching method of finding the minimum number of castle which can oversee all over the rectangular box, defined as a × b× c (a,b,c ? N) , is presented. The castle here is defined as one kind of chess. The castle positioned as (x, y, z) can direct the lattice points of (x, y,t) 、(x,t, z) 、(t, y, z) (t is the positive integer and smaller than the box size). These castles we use here is to oversee the rectangular box and to help us to find the minimum number. In 2005, we got the upper bound of overseeing the rectangular box in the conditions of a = b = c、a = b c、a > b > c , while in 2006 we complete the proofs of the minimum number of castles based on the conditions of a = b = c 、a = b c . The further work we want to attain is to complete the case of a > b > c.

本研究首先利用NaOH 將PAN 薄膜改質形成PAA 水膠膜表面，進一步與異丙胺鍵結形成NIPAAm 結構，以做為藥物傳輸的載體。反應所得之PNIPAAm 薄膜其溫度轉換點為34 °C 其pH 敏感性介於pH 5 至10 之間，實驗進行進一步於34 °C將PNIPAAm 薄膜浸入共軛亞麻油酸(CLA)中，取出後置入4 oC 二次水中，最後測試經改質接枝後PAN 薄膜於膽固醇、三酸甘油酯的吸收效果，並以化學冷光儀分析改質接枝後PAN 薄膜其抗氧化效率。結果顯示改質接枝之PNIPAAm 薄膜於包埋CLA 其對於血液中膽固醇及三酸甘油酯有明顯的吸收效率，此外對血液中的自由基也有明顯較未改質之PAN 薄膜穩定的趨勢。A thin layer of poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (pNIPAAm) was synthesized in situ on the surface of hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membrane. This thin layer exhibited both pH response due to the poly(acrylic acid) moiety and temperature response due to the pNIPAAm moiety. The swelling behavior of the membranes was evaluated under various temperatures and pH. The curve of the swelling ratio for the PAN-NIPAAm showed a lower critical solution temperature (LCST). Then conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) was loaded into the pNIPAAm layer. The effects of CLA on the blood coagulation and oxidative stress were evaluated using human blood. The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was measured by chemiluminescence (CL) method to evaluate the oxidative stress. Furthermore, the removal of bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) by CLA-loaded PAN-NIPAAm was measured with ELISA. The results show that the LCST swelling curve was at 37°C. In addition, the swelling ratio increased by 71% when the pH increased from 5 to 10. The concentration of LPS can be reduced by CLA-loaded PAN-NIPAAm 2.1 and 1.2 5 times of that by unmodified PAN and PAN-NIPAAm membranes, respectively. In addition, the level of ROS against CLA-loaded PAN-NIPAAm was reduced significantly than that against unmodified PAN and PAN-NIPAAm. Therefore CLA-loaded PAN-NIPAAm membrane could offer protection for patients against oxidative stress and could also inhibit LPS for clinical applications

1. Purpose: The purpose of this project was to design a theoretical tempered-air system to be integrated into an existing heating system in a home equipped with an air-to-air heat pump. This was to overcome the cost and environmental challenges of heating in cold climates as well as provide an environmentally friendly air-conditioning system in the summer at little to no cost. 2. Procedure: In the winter of 2010 an underground high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe (10cm diameter, and 30.5m length) was buried 2.5m underground around the footings of a new residential project. A fan with a flow of 3.4m³/min was attached to the pipe outside, and used to push air underground through the pipe and into the house. The ambient and incoming air temperatures as well as the date and time were recorded daily using a temperature probe with an error margin of ±0.1ºC throughout the summer and winter seasons of 2011. This data was then plotted and analyzed. A number of options to best extract thermal energy for potential use for heating and cooling were examined. Design components were selected to create an air chamber for an air-to-air heat pump to increase its coefficient of performance (COP). 3. Data: Graph 1 Graph 2 Winter Graph (Graph 1): The blue line represents the outdoor ambient temperature and the orange line represents the temperature of the tempered air. These are both arranged chronologically. The grey lines represent one standard deviation on either side of the incoming temperatures. The ambient temperatures vary dramatically, while the incoming temperatures remain quite stable. The lowest recorded temperature was about -9.0ºC, at which point the temperature exiting from the underground pipe was about 10.5ºC. Summer Graph (Graph 2): With dramatically varying ambient temperatures, the temperature of the incoming air consistently stays between 11.1 and 16.2ºC. The highest recorded outdoor temperature was about 30.0ºC, while the incoming temperature at that point was about 15.5ºC. This cold air was used as air conditioning.

本研究首度發現人類肺癌A549細胞會促進其所浸潤的樹突細胞分泌Resistin，而更深入地探究獲悉Resistin會透過活化WHSC1/Twist途徑促進肺癌A549細胞惡化，此惡化過程包括誘導癌細胞上皮間質轉化(epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition; EMT)及提升癌細胞的移行(migration)和入侵(invasion)能力。為確認Resistin在臨床的重要性，透過肺癌病患檢體分析發現，相較於健康捐贈者，肺癌病人的血清可測的較高濃度的Resistin；更甚之，比較非腫瘤組織部位之CD11c+樹突細胞，浸潤於腫瘤組織部位之CD11c+樹突細胞會呈現高量的Resistin。接續探討Resistin對肺癌細胞的影響機制，實驗結果發現Resistin會增加A549細胞表現histone methyltransferase WHSC1的表現，而WHSC1在Twist啟動子的H3組蛋白lysine 36位置進行dimethylation修飾，並降低H3組蛋白lysine 27位置的trimethylation進而促進Twist的表現，促使A549細胞進行EMT和增加癌細胞移行和入侵。因此，Resistin可作為肺癌診斷分子及藥物發展的重要標靶。
