告訴你「拉午耳」 「亨利」的壓力有多大 ─自製簡易的 IC 電路板來討論拉?

This research is aimed to make an in-depth exploration into Raoul’s Law and Henry’s Law by using an accurate but simple vapor pressure gauge. The gauge is constructed from non-complicated electronics components- electronics IC PCB, film resistor, digital multi-meter, and battery. In the first step, we measured the vapor pressure of six kinds of liquids and 3 liquid mixtures- water, ethanol, chloroform, acetone, benzene, toluene, mixture of water and ethanol, mixture of chloroform and acetone, mixture benzene and toluene. From the results of this experiments, the vapor pressures of water and ethanol liquid mixture, and chloroform and acetone liquid mixture were slightly lower than their theoretic values-called negative deviation solution, while the vapor pressure of the benzene and toluene liquid mixture was quite close to its theoretic value-near an ideal solution. In the second step, the individual vapor pressures of water, ethanol, and chloroform were measured at various temperatures; the vapor heat(ΔH) were calculated by using the lausius-Clapeyron equation. In the final step, we used the gauge and other non-commercial instruments to measure the B.O.D. values of water from the Kaohsiung Love River, found the P-T correlation using Gay-Lussac’s Law, and calculated the absolute zero temperature value by extrapolation. 本研究是利用一些簡易的電子元件-電路IC板、電阻膜、數位三用電表和電瓶來組裝一 個準確、簡易的氣壓量測器。我們將此量測器用來深入探討「拉午耳定律」及「亨利定律」 。 首先,我們測量了水、乙醇、氯仿、丙酮、苯、甲苯等六種純液體的蒸氣壓,並測量了(水+乙醇)、(氯仿+丙酮)、(苯+甲苯)等兩成份系溶液的混合蒸氣壓。結果發現(水+乙醇) 、(氯仿+丙酮)的混合蒸氣壓都比理論值低了一些,此稱為負偏差溶液;(苯+甲苯)的混合蒸氣壓與理論值差不多,較接近理想溶液。 接下來,我們還測量了不同溫度下水、酒精及丙酮的蒸氣壓,並利用clausius-clapeyron equation求出液體純質的汽化熱( H Δ )。 最後,我們還搭配了自製的儀器裝置,來測定愛河水質的B.O.D.值(生化需氧量)以及探討氣體的給呂薩克定律(P~T關係),並利用外差法來推求絕對零度。

西爾平斯基船帆與掛毯圖形應用於數位圖形與數位音樂創作

西爾平斯基船帆(Sierpinski Gasket)與西爾平斯基掛毯(Sierpinski Carpet)都屬於碎形(fractals)圖形的一種,可以利用迭代運算系統IFS(Iterated Function Systems)碼來產生,代入迭代運算方程式後,經由多次的運算,可以得到重覆的圖形。本研究中,我將提出一些作法,找出西爾平斯基船帆與掛毯圖形其遞迴關係式,進而討論出其數位圖形之規律性及所涵蓋的內容與性質,著重在推廣西爾平斯基船帆與掛毯圖形的概念,將一段音樂曲取出,把它們看成反覆隨機迭代點,利用程式經由多次的插值運算,計算出各段音符。最後加入基因演算法來解決音符長短的問題,把製造好的音符染色體放置到交配池中,以隨機的方式在交配池中選取其中之一個染色體進行交配的動作,此二音符染色體會交換彼此的基因,產生下一代新的代表音符長短之染色體,應用於數位音樂創作,而衍生的西爾平斯基船帆與掛毯圖形新穎應用與創新的結果,希望能提供數位音樂創作的多樣性,更進而可以找出「好聽的音樂」與數學的直接關聯性。‘Sierpinski Gasket’ and ‘Sierpinski Carpet’ are two graphics that belong to fractals. They can be produced by IFS (Iterated Function Systems). By iterative computation of many times, we can obtain the similar graphics. In my research, there are some methods to generate Sierpinski Gasket, Sierpinski Carpet, and the iterative algorithms. In addition, I would discuss the regularity and the content as well as the properties of those digital patterns. At last, the advanced application of Sierpinski Gasket and Sierpinski Carpet to digital music pieces was presented. The program took a note of several measure of music as the beginning point, and made the IFS calculations for each new note in each measure. But there was no difference in beats if you just make the IFS iteration. So I changed the beats with genetic crossover method. In this research, the expression of the DNA to each beat of note was adopted. The same way, it took a note as a beginning point. And the system obtained the new DNA from the old notes for new ones randomly. That would make a piece of brand new music. What I want to do in this research is improve the multiformity of music and find what the relationship is of ‘good music’ and mathematical algorithms.

What really attracts boys to girls

The purpose of this research was to challenge misconceptions about what attracts teenaged boys to girls. It has been observed that some teenaged girls hold stereotypes about boys and believe boys are only attracted to superficial qualities like beautiful hair. The aim is to investigate differences between what girls believe boys find attractive about them and what boys actually find attractive about girls. Hypothesis: There is a significant difference between what teenaged boys find attractive in girls and what teenaged girls think boys find attractive. Procedure Background reading was done to discover which characteristics are commonly used to measure attractiveness among teenagers. A survey questionnaire was used for gathering data. To gather information for the construction of the questionnaire, 4 focus groups were interviewed. The groups were asked to determine indicators of attraction and repulsion. Two separate questionnaires were designed (one for boys and one for girls), based on focus group information, with similar questions which could be used to compare results. Questions were related to personality and looks. The research was representative as 399 teenagers participated in the final survey. Results were collated in Excel tables. Percentages were calculated by using a scientific calculator and Excel. A bivariate analysis was created to examine the main question: ranking qualities that attract boys to girls. A comparison was made between boys’ and girls’ opinions from different age categories. Mean averages were calculated for this question. Other questions were analysed using mode averages translated into percentage of each gender. Graphs were designed using the values calculated. Observations/Data/Results 72% of boys prefer a girl with average looks and an awesome personality but only 37% of girls believed that to be true. The average boys from 12-14, 15-17 and 18-20 year old categories agree that confidence, humour, a nice body, politeness and intelligence are the five most attractive qualities in a girl they would consider dating. The order of these five change across the age groups but are constantly the top five, however confidence and humour always trump a “nice body”. The average 12-14 and 15-17 year old girl overrates a nice body and underrates politeness and intelligence but confidence and humour feature in their top five. The average 18-20 year old girl agrees with the boys priorities. When defining what makes a girl beautiful, 68% of boys highlight personality traits and 59% of boys mentioned physical features. When noting what repulses boys about pretty girls, more than 50% of both sexes agree that smelling bad was most off putting. 52% of boys mentioned taking drugs as unattractive yet only 23% of girls recognized this as repulsive. Conclusions The data supports the hypothesis. Confidence and humour are more important to the average boy than a nice body across all age groups. The younger the girl, the less she understands what attracts boys. 63% of teenaged girls believe that looks are more important to boys than personality. This is clearly not true. 72% of boys value a great personality more highly than good looks.

The Characterization of Human Epidermal Stem Cells

The role of Notch signaling in the regulation of growth and differentiation of epithelial stem cells is poorly understood. While specific markers for epidermal stem cells have not yet been identified, members the Notch signaling pathway have been reported to be differentially expressed in the human epidermis. This study sought to demonstrate the presence and distribution of Notch and its ligands, Delta and Jagged, in human keratinocytes, and thereby characterize this subpopulation. Human neonatal foreskin samples were used to obtain isolated epidermal cells. Cells that were shown to be negative for connexin43, a gap junction protein, and positive for keratin14, a basal marker, were classified as presumptive stem cells (PSC). This sorted subpopulation was shown to be small and agranular by flow cytometry analysis. After two weeks in cell culture, PSC revealed a proliferative potential three times greater than non-sorted cells. The PSC exhibited increased expression of Delta and Jagged ligands than the general population. Additionally, RT-PCR confirmed the presence of Jagged and Delta in keratinocytes; however, only Jagged was detected in immunohistochemistry tests. Members of the Notch family were identified by immunohistochemistry in the epithelium and also at the protein- and mRNA-level. The data suggests that variations in the expression of members of the Notch signaling pathway could potentially be used as markers for stem cells of the epithelium; however, further research is necessary to make definitive conclusions, which would provide better insight into Notch regulatory pathways. This understanding could one day allow for the eventual treatment of epithelial damage caused by various skin diseases, injuries, or burns.

幾丁寡醣對藍光LED造成視網膜色素上皮細胞傷害的保護作用 The protective effect of chitosan oligosaccharide on blue light LED induced retinal pigment epithelial cell damage

3C產品及LED燈多以藍光照明,長期照射易導致視網膜黃斑部病變。其作用機轉是藍光引起視網膜細胞過氧化物質 (ROS)增加,造成細胞的氧化壓力進而引發細胞凋亡。幾丁寡醣 (Chitosan oligosaccharides, COS) 藉由減少自由基產生和抑制轉錄因子NF-κB傳導路徑而有抗氧化及抗凋亡的作用。 本研究以ARPE-19細胞株,在添加不同濃度的COS下,經照射LED藍光處理後,分析色素上皮細胞活性、ROS表現量及細胞凋亡情形,並透過PCR、西方墨點法、JC-1及免疫螢光染色分析作用機轉。實驗證實COS能抑制過氧化物質 (ROS)的產生,減少視網膜色素上皮細胞因藍光所造成的細胞凋亡。PCR和西方墨點法的結果顯示COS可以抑制發炎介質HO-1、iNOS、Caspase-3、Bcl-2、ERK,及基因iNOS、MCP-1的產生。免疫螢光染色顯示COS能抑制NF-kB核易位。總結來說,COS能藉由抑制NF-kB的活性,減少其下游基因的表現量,降低細胞氧化壓力和發炎反應來避免視網膜色素上皮細胞損傷。COS在臨床上有潛力成為一種預防LED藍光造成視網膜傷害的有效保健食品。

Recycled PET bottles for vacuum packaging

Vacuum packaging is a packaging technique intended to extend the shelf life of food via the removal of air from an enclosed package prior to sealing. This process limits the growth of aerobic bacteria or fungi due to oxygen deprivation. In this work, we present a novel do-it-yourself vacuum packaging device using the exchange of water and air between two bottles to continuously generate a vacuum-suction effect. The sizes of bottle and vacuum bag were investigated for its impact on the vacuum generation in a plastic bag containing smoked fish sausages. Large commercial 3.1-litre PET bottle generated more vacuum than the smaller ones. An equilibrated vacuum pressure of a smaller plastic bag was lower than that of a larger size. With 3.1-litre PET bottles, the vacuum pressure for 3”x5”, 5”x8” and 6”x9” bags was equilibrated at 8, 10, 18 mmHg, respectively. Sausages packaged by our device last for 14 days when they were kept in -20oC refrigerator, which was comparable to those packed by the commercial vacuum packaging system for household use. This project demonstrates an application of simple science in a real life situation as well as a promotion of environmental protection idea as the electricity is not used in the vacuum generation process and the disposed plastic bottles can be reused.

月神阿提米斯(Artemis)的傷疤~月球隕石坑和輻射紋之模擬與探討

以「方格紋路」標記砂土表面,方便觀察撞擊時表面的詳細受力情形。利用「紅土球」撞擊砂土的過程中,紅土球會成功碎裂,並且會產生「輻射紋」、「中央峰」與「環形山」等地形,此隕石撞擊模型是我們自創的,而且效果相當良好。玻璃彈孔的「橢圓形延伸碎裂區」橢圓軸的方向和「最大破裂痕方向」均會和「射擊方向」一致。利用輻射紋之「長短軸比值」和「射擊角度」之間的「標準曲線」,可反推出第谷坑、哥白尼坑、刻卜勒坑和阿里司塔克坑的撞擊角度。發射器以低角度射擊時,能以「打水漂」方式模擬出「連續隕石坑」。砂子和石灰粉都能藉由橡膠彈力球之撞擊,在反彈後可以產生「多重環形山」,可證實「不一定只有液體」才能製造出「多重環形山」。我們藉由h= S‧ tanθ公式,可以利用「上弦月」平面相片求得隕石坑的深度。使用自製CD光譜儀,能分析出隕石坑之間的RGB值和HSB值之差異性,CD光譜儀分析所得的資訊量遠多於一般的月亮黑白相片。

IlluminaMed: Developing Novel Artificial Intelligence Techniques for the Use In a Biomedical Image Analysis Toolkit and Personalized Medicine Engine

Despite the multitude of biomedical scans conducted, there is still relatively low accuracy and standardization of diagnoses from these images. In both the fields of computer science and medicine there is very strong interest in developing personalized treatment policies for patients who have variable responses to treatments. The aim of my research was automatic segmentation of brain MRI scans to better analyze patients with tumors, multiple sclerosis, ALS, or Alzheimer’s. In particular, I aim to use this information, along with novel artificial intelligence algorithms, to find an optimal personalized treatment policy which is a non-deterministic function of the patient specific covariate data that maximizes the expected survival time or clinical outcome. The result of the research was IlluminaMed, a biomedical image analysis toolkit that relies on the development of new artificial neural networks and training algorithms and novel research in fuzzy logic. The networks can detect patterns more complex than humans can identify and create patterns over long periods of time. IlluminaMed was trained by a dataset of professionally and manually segmented MRI scans from several prestigious hospitals and universities. I then developed an algorithmic framework to solve multistage decision problem with a varying number of stages that are subject to censoring in which the “rewards” are expected survival times. In specific, I developed a novel Q-learning algorithm that dynamically adjusts for these parameters. Furthermore, I found finite upper bounds on the generalized error of the treatment paths constructed by this algorithm. I have also shown that when the optimal Q-function is an element of the approximation space, the anticipated survival times for the treatment regime constructed by the algorithm will converge to the optimal treatment path. I demonstrated the performance of the proposed algorithmic framework via simulation studies and through the analysis of chronic depression data and a hypothetical clinical trial. IlluminaMed can automatically segment the scans with 98% accuracy, find tumors with 96% accuracy and approximate their volume within a 2% margin of error. It can also find lesions in MS and ALS, distinguishing them from tumors with 94% accuracy. IlluminaMed can, in addition, determine the tendency of a patient to develop Alzheimer’s several months before patients develop symptoms correlating the brain structure and its fluctuations. Lastly, the censored Q-learning algorithm I developed is more effective than the state of the art clinical decision support systems and is able to operate in environments when many covariate parameters may be unobtainable or censored. IlluminaMed is the only fully automatic biomedical image analysis toolkit and personalized medicine engine. The personalized medicine engine runs at a level that is comparable to the best physicians. It is less computationally complex than similar software and is unique in the fact that it can find new patterns in the brain with possible future diagnoses. IlluminaMed’s implications are not only great in terms of the biomedical field, but also in the field of artificial intelligence with new findings in neural networks and the relationships of fuzzy extensional subsets.

Esglasses

Nowadays, many people are suffering from eye defects and thus eye-glasses play a vital role in their life. On a sunny day, bright light enters our eyes without any adjustment of light intensity, causing discomfort and harm to our eyes. Therefore, sunglasses are right here to satisfy our needs. However, it is very inconvenient for some people who suffer from eye sight problems to bring two pairs of glasses and change them frequently. In order to solve this problem, our Esglasses are designed to combine both glasses together.\r To show the details of the physics theories behind our displays, we would like to illustrate the various components of a liquid crystal as well as the whole structure briefly. The liquid crystal we use is made up of molecules that have no positional order but tend to point in the same direction.
