液晶面板在不同電場下穿透光譜之研究

本研究主要是探討液晶面板在不同的電壓下,對紅外光區及可見光區之穿透光譜。藉由控制外加液晶面板兩側的電壓,改變內部的電場強度,驅使液晶分子長軸方向改變(偏轉),以達到控制穿透率之目的。施加於液晶面板兩側的電壓V大於起始電壓V0時,液晶分子長軸受電場作用與電場方向平行,減弱引導偏振光扭轉之能力,讓部分光通過偏振片。令及分別代表穿透率達到最大穿透率之10%及90%時的外加電壓,則定義「光-電開關斜率」γ為:γ =(V90-V10)/V10。透射光強度與外加電壓關係曲線則稱為「光-電開關特性曲線」。穿透率除與液晶分子之旋光程度有關,我們也做了在不同電壓下,液晶分子之穿透光譜,並討論其特性。The main idea of the project is to discuss the transmittance spectra of liquid-crystal device in the range of infrared and visual light (400~900 nm) with different electric field by changing voltage. Different biases are applied to the liquid-crystal cell, causing the axis of liquid-crystal to rotate, and the transmittances are measured. If the application of bias is greater than the threshold voltage (V0), the axis of liquid-crystal will be parallel to the electric field, and make the beam pass through polaroid. Electro-optical switching slope γ is defined as γ =(V90-V10)/V10 , where V10 and V90 are the applied voltages enabling output light signal reaches up to 10% and 90% of its maximum intensity, respectively. It is understood that transmittance depends on the optical activity of liquid-crystal cells. Besides, we will discuss the relation between wavelength and transmittance of liquid-crystal cells.

創新儀器測量光的繞射與干涉之強度分佈

Light diffraction and interference are two of most basic experiments, but they’re the most powerful evident of wave properties of light. Due to the lack of high-quality and fairly accurate equipment, these important experiments are limited to the simple demonstration of the phenomena. Especially, the spatial intensity variations of diffraction and interference patterns are, however, completely not drawn to scale. In order to precisely measure the diffraction and interference patterns intensity, we consult lots of reference, search for suitable materials and reuse waste old and useless laser printers. Finally, overcoming disadvantages of time consumption and poor spatial resolution, we develop two accurate, practical and delicate methods. We use optical power control circuit created on our own to steady the brightness emitting of laser diode. Then the high linear photoelectric detector is stored on XYZ axis micro movement control platform. Next high degree of reflection rotating polygon mirror employing optical lever is collocated with low vibration blushless motor. Thus, a self-scanning intensity pattern plotter is accomplished. At the same time, it overcome difficulties like time wasting and low reliability during doing these kind of optical experiments. In this article these two dependable and worth popularizing measurements of light diffraction and interference is going to be introduced. 光的繞射與干涉實驗是光學中最基本的實驗之一,也是證明光的波動性質之最主要的依據。在一般的高中物理實驗室中受限於器材的等級與精度,只能對光的繞射與干涉做近似定性的實驗,尤其是繞射、干涉圖形上的光能量分佈,完全無法以現有的器材做精準的測量。 在這一年的專題研究中,我們小組針對測量光的繞射、干涉能量分佈為目標,參閱許多相關文獻,四處尋找適用的材料及零件,發揮廢物利用的精神,克服萬難,發展出兩種精巧、實用又準確的測量方法,我們以自行發展的光功率控制電路使雷射二極體的光度穩定,並且以高線性度的光感測元件裝載在自行設計的X.Y.Z微動機台上,同時利用光槓桿原理所構成的高反射度的旋轉六面鏡,配合低震動的無刷馬達,完成了一套能自動掃瞄繞射能量分佈曲線的測試儀,經實際使用相當地穩定可靠,可以快速而精確地獲得大量的實驗數據,比對這些數據不僅能驗證繞射理論,並能更深入地延伸理論的探討。

對抗無尺度流行病傳染之新方法

流行病的傳染過程如同一個無尺度網路,但較一般無尺度網路有著更多的變數而明顯差異,因此無法直接應用一般的無尺度網路模式來描述其傳染途徑。我建立一個新模式「無尺度流行病模式」,經由比較模擬結果與疾病管制局的數據,證實此「無尺度流行病模式」是正確與確切可用,且適用於短期暴發性傳染病與長期流行病。SARS案例研究結果,顯示影響SARS疾病傳染因子的大小是:ψ>m>γ。其中降低ψ值可使SARS確定病例至5月31日止降為143人(減少確定病例190人,相當於減少死亡21人);僅提高防疫使5=γ,亦可使確定病例減至307人(減少確定病例26人,相當於減少死亡3人)。因此強化隔離措施以減少傳染天數最為重要,且可以有效控制每日SARS新增病例,避免發生高侵襲率的現象。HIV/AIDS案例研究結果,獲知採用ψ值來進行月份模擬,則至 2005年12月HIV(+)與AIDS分別為可減少2,715與285人。而進行年度模擬結果,則至 2014年底HIV(+)與AIDS分別為可減少41,936與5,328人。無尺度流行病模式可以協助所需警戒的程度與政策決定的計畫結果。因此無尺度流行病模式在幫助政府評估社會經濟成本與健康憂慮上的有用之工具。當面臨一個全然無知的新病毒的侵襲時,如何減少死亡與傷害人數?是本研究之最終目的。因此,本研究結合了流行病、無尺度網路與灰預測,建立面對病毒侵襲,一個確切可行的對抗無尺度流行病傳染新方法,並詳細說明運作流程。\r \r \r The course of epidemic infections resembles a scale-free network. However, they are different due to more variables in the epidemic infection. Therefore, the model of scale-free networks is not enough to satisfy the reality epidemic infections. In this study, I propose a new the Scale-Free Epidemic Model. Comparison of the simulation results with Taiwan CDC report data for SARS and HIV/AIDS cases show that the Scale-Free Epidemic Model is accurate and useful. This model can be used in the short-term outbreak of infectious diseases and for the longer-term epidemics. In the SARS case study, the results show that the sequence of effect of the epidemic factors was: ψ>m>γ. The SARS confirmed cases would decrease to 143 cases (reduced 190 confirmed cases or 3 death cases) calculated to May 31, 2003, if the average infection time was reduced to two days (an optimum value of ψ). Therefore, vigorous action in isolation quarantine and treatment for SARS cases is most effective policy; the number of new cases and the attack rate would also decrease. In the HIV/AIDS case study, the simulation results of the Scale-Free Model indicates that the reduced numbers of HIV(+) and AIDS in the monthly simulation calculated to December 2005 are 2,310 and 361 and the annual simulation by December 2014 are 27,161 and 3,710. The Scale-Free Epidemic model can help determine the level of caution needed and the projected results of policy decisions. Therefore it is a useful tool in assisting the government to balance socio-economic and health concerns. The fight against a new epidemic and how to reduce the number of deaths is the main purpose of this study. So, a new method to fight against epidemics is proposed. Detailed procedures of this method are explained.

線蟲補捉菌Arthrobotrys musiformis 黏液相關基因之選殖與功能界定

線蟲捕捉菌Arthrobotrys musiformis 是一種可經線蟲誘導產生捕捉網來捕捉線蟲的真菌,本實驗即針對A. musiformis 的捕捉網黏液相關基因:Manosyltransferase(AH73), β-1,3-glucan transferase(AH102), fimbrin(AH121)及mannose-specific lectin precursor(AH338)進行選殖與功能界定,希望建立這方面的研究基礎,將來能應用在松材線蟲的生物防治上。首先我們大量培養A. musiformis,萃取菌絲體的DNA;接著進行聚合?連鎖反應 (Polymerase Chain Reaction,PCR) ,利用專一性引子對 (primer) 大量增幅AH73、AH102、AH121 及AH338之基因片段;增幅後的產物經過純化、選殖,定序並進行分析比對,確認增幅之序列無誤後,以 Digoxigenin (DIG) 標示當為探針,篩檢A. musiformis 的Fosmid Library﹔目前已成功選殖出AH73 之可能基因,完成AH73 之探針製備,並以其篩檢A. musiformis 的Fosmid Library﹔呈雜合正反應之選殖株 (clones) 將以散彈槍方法(shotgun)定序,作序列組合,探索相關的基因;接下來用 Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends(RACE) 做出互補DNA (complementary DNA , cDNA) 全長度後;最後建構基因缺失株,驗證此基因所調控的生理以及生化機能。 Nematode trapping fungus Arthrobotrys musiformis can capture nematodes by producing adhesive nets when nematodes go through. Many kinds of nematodes, including pine wood nematode (Bursaphelencus xylophilus), can be captured. Pine wood nematode causes serious pine wood disease. Therefore, A. musiformis has the potential of biocontrol in pine wood nematode. Our research focused on adhesion and adhesive relevant genes of A. musiformis :Manosyltransferase (AH73), β-1,3-glucan transferase (AH102), fimbrin (AH121), and mannose-specific lectin precursor (AH338). We try to clone these genes and carry out functional analysis. In order to achieve this goal, we used specific primers derived from previously obtained complementary DNA (cDNA), by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) to amplify these genes and gained adequate quantity of genomic DNA products. After sequencing and verifying of the identity of the genomic DNA, we use Digoxigenin (DIG) to label them and use them as probes to screen the constructed A. musiformis Fosmid Library. Currently, the Southern colony hybridization is undergoing. The positive Fosmid clones against the specific probes will be sequenced completely by shotgun library to monitor the existence of adhesion related gene cluster. After working out the full length cDNA of these genes, we will use them to construct replacement vectors to knockout the adhesion related genes, creating mutants and further verify their functions through genotype or phenotype bioassay.

印度莕菜由沉水型轉為浮水型的支撐機制探討

The special life cycle of the Nymphoides indica: The veins and petioles of the pleustonic leaves can asexually reproduce adventitious buds. Pleustonic adventitious buds will change the density of the plants and sink into water. When the root of submersible plants attaches to the bottom of the pool, they will extend stems to the water surface and resume the life cycle. Reticulate sigmons and astral sclerenchyma appears in the process of transformation. Astral sclerenchyma merely appear in the species of which its leaves float above the water surface, and Nymphoides sp. are the most obvious. The cell wall thickness of astral sclerenchyma is even. The cells are hollow and full of water, and they will utilize water to change turgor between axes and spines. This is also proved in imitating experiments. The reticulate sigmons are frequently seen among aguatic plants, and the horizontal structures prevent air space from collapsing. These two structures make the thin stems of Nymphoides indica sustain the leaves instead of being crushed by the floating water. 印度莕菜 ( Nymphoides indica )獨特的生長週期:浮水型葉的葉脈和葉柄可以無性繁殖不定芽,浮水型的不定芽會改變植株的密度而沉入水中,當沉水型植株的根系在池底固著後,便會以莖延伸出水面,再次展開浮水型葉的成長週期。轉變過程中會出現網狀的橫膈和星狀厚壁細胞。星狀厚壁細胞僅出現於葉片需由水中浮出水面生長的植物種類,而莕菜屬植物更明顯。星狀厚壁細胞其細胞壁厚度均勻,細胞中空且充滿水分,會利用水分在中軸與突起的棘間移動來改變膨壓變化,在模擬的實驗中也得到證實。網狀的橫膈在水生植物中是較常見到的構造,水平方向的支撐可以讓氣室不會塌陷,兩種構造的作用下使得印度莕菜細長的莖能夠支撐葉片,不會被流水沖斷。

由心血管超音波影像之動態分析研究主動脈硬化

經食道超音波 (TEE) 是診斷心血管疾病的重要方法之一,目前一般的診斷中,都是由心血管超音波影像的空間分布,藉以了解心血管的狀況或是阻塞的情況;以及用超音波都卜勒影像,觀察血液在血管中的流動。在這個研究中,我們嘗試用主動脈超音波影像圖形隨時間的變化,作為新的診斷方法,藉以定量地診斷出主動脈硬化的情形。研究過程中,我們將主動脈模擬為受到心臟之週期性壓力驅動之阻尼振盪器,其中主動脈之硬度變化即相當於阻尼因子。由心血管超音波圖形隨時間變化的分析中,測量出 “主動脈擴張到最大時” 相對於 “心電圖中的R-尖峰” 之間的延遲時間,理論上,此一延遲時間即可反應出主動脈硬化的程度。我們由10個樣品的資料中,對每個樣品進行大約50至100次心跳的分析。初步的研究成功地發現:上述之主動脈擴張延遲時間超過0.17秒時,即明確地顯示出樣品具有主動脈硬化之現象,而且此一方法也可由數據的分佈發覺心血管之其他病徵。未來仍需應用此一方法對較多樣品進行研究以確定此診斷方法之可靠性,並且由體外攝取主動脈超音波影像進行分析,藉以取代經食道超音波的方法,增加診斷的方便性以及減少病患之痛苦。 Echocardiography is a very important tool for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. Important information about the intracardiac blood flow, shunt direction and cardiovascular system function can be obtained by echocardiography due to its high spatial resolution capability. However, seldom message is known about the aorta stiffness. This research investigated a new method to quantitatively analyze the aorta stiffness. The aorta was modeled as a periodic-force-driven damping oscillator, in which the stiffness of aorta was simulated as the damping factor. From the temporal analysis of the echocardiographic images, the delay time of the maximal aorta distention relative to the R-peak of electrocardiographic trace was measured to study the damping and stiffness of the aorta. The preliminary study successively found that a delay time greater than 0.17 sec could be a criterion to diagnose that the aorta is quite stiff. This method could also clearly discern some abnormal cardiac performance. A large scale study with this method should be conducted in the future.

生生不息-正五邊形的繁衍法則

This study was to explore the nature of two basic constitutes of the regular pentagon,With these two constitutes, the regular pentagon could be multiplied into any times. We used four multiplication methods (m2 = 2m1 + n1 、n2 = m1 + n1 、m2= k2m1 、n2= k2n1、a2 = a1 + 1、a2 = a1 + ) to show how the regular pentagon could enlarge and to verify that the enlarged regular pentagons derived from computer did exist. By integrating these four multiplication methods, we were able to arrange regular pentagon of any length of side, and evidenced the equation was ( If the side length of a regular pentagon is a form of m,n is the number of A,B respectively ) We further proved that the first multiplication method could be developed into a new modified method, which could divide a regular pentagon with a given side length into a combination of A and B. But only when the x and y of side length of a regular pentagon could be divided by a natural number, k, and made x/k into an item of the Fibonacci Sequence and y/k a successive item. When we tried to verify if any regular pentagon could be constituted by other smaller regular pentagons, we also found that it was un-dividable only if the length of pentagon side were ( the number of A, B were the 2n and 2n-1 item of Lucas Sequence). Otherwise, any regular pentagon might be able to be constituted by other smaller regular pentagons. 本研究是以正五邊形的兩個基本組成元素(B)作為討論對象,利用此二元素可以將正五邊形做任意倍數的放大。我們共使用4種繁殖法則(m2 = 2m1 + n1 、n2 = m1 + n1 、m2= k2m1 、n2= k2n1、a2 = a1 + 1、a2 = a1 + ) 來說明正五邊形的放大情形,並利用此4 種繁殖法驗證電腦運算出的放大圖形確實存在。利用這4 種繁殖法則的改良與整合,已達到能排出任意邊長之正五邊形的目標,並能計算並證明出其通式為。 (若正五邊形的邊長為形式,m、n代表、的個數) 更特別的是,我們能用第一繁殖法反推出一種方法,將給定邊長的正五邊形利用簡單的切割方式分成由A、B 組合成的形式,但只有正五邊形邊長之x、y 值可同除以任一自然數k 而使 x/k 為費波那契數列之一項且 y/k 為其後一項者才可以使用。 將此想法推廣至一個正五邊形能否由比他小的其他五邊形組合而成時,我們也發現當正五邊形之邊長為時(其A、B 個數為盧卡斯數列之第2n,2n-1 項),不可分解,否則應該皆可將一個正五邊形分解成比它小的其他五邊形組合(我們也可以利用這些質形檢驗出其他正五邊形是否也為質形)。但其分解形式,不只一種,而我們推測只用兩種較小的正五邊形就能達成,我們期待能找出一或多種分解方法,能將正五邊形分解成標準的分解形式。

黏質色拉雷菌(Serratia marcescens)發光重組菌偵測環境中含酚環之毒性化合物之?

A pair of bacterial two-component system RssB-RssA was cooperated into Serratia marcescens for toxicity phenolic compound detection. First step of this study, E coli was used to accept the plasmid and certified by fluorescent. Then transfer the system from E coli into Serratia marcescens. Finally, 7 kinds of chemical, included phenol, benzene, toluene, xylenes, 4-chlorotoluene, 2-nitrotoluene, and kerosene, were used to check the sensitivity of this gene modified Serratia marcescens line. The results showed that this gene modified Serratia marcescens line had good performances and responses to those chemicals. 本實驗是以一受到二元訊號傳遞系統調控的發光基因重組質體,送入黏質色拉雷菌中,並以製備好的菌株進行毒性化合物之測試。在實驗的第一階段,我們將重組質體送入大腸桿菌內,並以其發光的有無來判斷是否達到送入的目的,其後再以電泳法確認各基因片段是否正確。第二階段再以相同的方法將選殖好的重組發光質體送入黏質色拉雷菌。第三階段,以發光重組菌針對酚、苯、甲苯、二甲苯、4-氯甲苯、2-硝基甲苯及煤油進行發光測試。結果方面,我們發現黏質色拉雷菌發光重組菌對於這一系列的酚環類化合物的確具有相當高的敏感度。

大自然的飛行家--蝴蝶飛行之初部探討

本研究主要針對蝴蝶之飛行進行探討,研究中主要探討蝴蝶翅膀形狀、身體重量、翅膀面積、展弦比、拍翅頻率及環境溫度對飛行速率之影響,並利用自製之風洞裝置,觀察蝴蝶之翼翅運動,分析通過蝴蝶模型之氣流方向及相關氣動力。研究結果顯示:紋白蝶展翅約4.5~5 cm,平均展弦比(AR)為1.71 ± 0.12,身體重量約為0.06± 0.02 g,翅膀面積約0.0012 ± 0.0003 m2,當紋白蝶身體重量愈重,則翅膀面積愈大(R2=0.9586)。另外,紋白蝶身體重量愈重、展弦比愈小,則飛行速率亦愈快(R2=0.5559、R2=0.4726)。23℃時,紋白蝶飛行速率為1.01±0.24 m/s,當環境溫度愈高(5、16、23℃),則飛行速率亦愈快(y=0.07x+0.7733,R2=0.6967)。風洞實驗發現:蝴蝶會逆風而飛,當風洞的風愈強,蝴蝶翅膀拍動角度愈大,且快而持久,仰角也變大(45 度);蝴蝶翼尖軌跡呈八字形,翼翅運動包含線性平移及旋轉;蝴蝶拍翅時,可在翅上方及前方產生低壓帶,在後方產生高壓帶,以利蝴蝶向前方飛行。另外,翅緣彎曲角度(上反角)愈大,蝴蝶模型之上升高度亦愈高,當上反角60°時,蝴蝶模型之上升高度最高(2.2±0.1cm)。This research approaches the flying ability of butterflies. Our research mainly discusses the weight, aspect –ratio of butterflies, frequency of flapping, and the shape, surface area of butterflies’ wings, and the connection between temperature and flying velocity. More over, we use the wind tunnel which was made by us to observe the movement of butterflies’ wings and analyzed the direction of airflow and aero-elastic which pass through the wind tunnel. Our research shows that Pieris canidia’s length of wings is about 4.5 to 5 cm. The average of aspect –ratio (AR) is 1.71±0.12 . Its weight is about 0.06±0.02 . And its surface area is about 0.0012±0.0003 m 2 . The heavier Pieris canidia is, the bigger its surface area will be (R2 =0.9586). In addition, the heavier it is, the smaller its aspect –ratio will be (R2 =0.5559, R2 =0.4726), and the swifter its flying velocity will be. When it is 23°C, the flying velocity of Pieris canidia is 1.01±0.24m/s. The hotter temperature is (5,16,23°C), the swifter it flies (y=0.07x+0.7733,R=0.6967). Accroding to the detect of the wind tunnel’s experiment , the butterflies will fly on luff. When the stronger the wind of the wind tunnel is, the larger the angles of wing’s flap are. And they are fast and lasting, the elevation also becomes larger (45°). The butterflies’ trochoids of wings mimic the word “eight”, and the movement of wingspan includes parallel movement of linearity and wheel. When butterflies flap, it will amount depression upon and in front of the wings, amounting the high pressure on the back so that butterflies can fly antrorsely. Furthermore, the larger the curvy angle of marginal wings (Dihedral) is, the higher the ascending height of model butterfly will be. When dihedral is 60°, the ascending height of model butterfly is the highest(2.2±0.1 ㎝).

凸n 邊形等分面積線數量之分布探索

(一) 本研究首先導出ΔABC等分面積線移動所包絡出的曲線方程式,其圖形是由等分面積線段PQ(其中P、Q皆在ΔABC的周界上)的中點所構成,具有3 條曲線段(分別為3 條雙曲線之一部分)的封閉曲線,形成內文所謂的「包絡區」。利用包絡區的區隔,我們找出:1.當P 點在包絡區內,則有3 條等分面積線。2.當P 點在包絡區周界上,則有2 條等分面積線。3.當P 點曲線段的端點或在包絡區外,則有1 條等分面積線。(二) 以三角形的研究當基礎,擴展到凸n 邊形(不包含點對稱圖形),我們發現:等分面積線數量之分布,仍然與包絡區息息相關,且1.凸2m +1邊形最多有2m +1條等分面積線。2.凸2m邊形,必發生內文所謂的「換軌」。因此,最多只有2m ?1條等分面積線。3.包絡曲線所分割出的區域,於相同區域其等分面積線數量相同,且相鄰兩區域數量差兩條。(三) 若凸n邊形有k個「換軌點」,則此n邊形過定點等分面積線至多有n ? k 條。(四) 若凸n 邊形為點對稱圖形(如正偶數邊形、平行四邊形),則所有等分面積線皆過中心點。1) Our study got a curve equation of bisectors of a triangle. When a bisector is moving, we get three curves. They’re constructed by the midpoints of PQ. The three parts of the three curves make a closed curve which we called “the Envelope Area”. We found out:\r 1. When Point P is in the Envelope Area, we can get 3 bisectors. 2. When Point P is on the curves of the Envelope Area, we can get 2 bisectors. 3. When Point P is outside of the Envelope Area, we can get only 1 bisector. 2) Based on our study of triangles, we found that in Convex polygons(not including Point Symmetry Convex polygons), the distribution of bisectors is related to the Envelope Area. 1. We can get at most 2m +1 bisectors in a 2m +1 Convex polygon. 2. We can get at most 2m ?1 bisectors in a 2m Convex polygon, and the bisectors on the curves will “Change the Track”. 3. Envelope curve will divide a Convex polygon into several areas. The same area has the same numbers of bisectors, and the near areas have less or more 2 bisectors. 3) If a Convex polygon has k points to change the track, it will have at most n – k bisectors.\r 4) In a Point Symmetry Convex polygon (ex. Regular 2m convex polygons and parallelograms), all the bisectors will come through the center point.
