植物的彩妝

我們的研究報告,是對校園中所種植的各種變葉木所做的一個研究,經過一連串的實驗證明後,我們確信花青素對變葉木的光合作用會有所影響。接著,我們測定出未氧化的植物色素與已氧化的植物色素吸光能力有很大的差異,我們假設花青素可以吸收某些特定波長的光以防止植物色素的氧化程度過強,實驗後證明我們的假設是正確的。另一方面,我們預期花青素具有保溫的機制,故設計了一個在低溫下花青素可保溫的實驗以證明之,結果和我們的假設相符合。我們預期花青素可利用保溫的特性降低植物因低溫所造成的傷害,減少農業上的損失。This study is about the Codiaeum variegatum which is grown on campus. After a series of experiments, it was proved that “anthocyanin” has a significant influence on the photosynthesis processing in Codiaeum variegatum. A great difference in the pigment of plant’s light-absorbing ability between the oxidized plants and the non-oxidized ones was also found in the experiments. Therefore, it was supposed that anthocyanin could absorb some special range of wavelength to avoid the pigment of plant to over-oxidize. The result of this experiment is in accordance with our supposition. In addition, we anticipated that anthocyanin has the ability to stay warm. By a designed experiment we successfully found that the result is exactly the same as our assumption. According to the findings of our study, we expect the characteristic -- ”staying warm” of anthocyanin could be applicable to decrease the harm to plants caused by the low temperature, and thereby to reduce the loss in agriculture.

新網路模式對抗無尺度流行病傳染A New Network Model to Fight Against Scale-Free Epidemi

流行病的傳染如同一個無尺度網路,但有一些特殊特性在發展一套新傳播模式時,是需要被詳加考慮的。我採用時間位移(t 與ti 分別以t?(ti?1)與ti?(ti?1)來取代)至無尺度網路模式中,再引入一個非連續強力函數H(t; ti?1, L+ti?1)來描述流行病傳播的特定時段與強度,並重新定義機率p 為無效傳染率。之後,我建立了新模式「無尺度流行病模式」-SFE-1與SFE-2。模擬六種病原的傳染途徑,結果證實SFE-1與SFE-2模式是正確與確切可用。案例研究結果,顯示傳染強度H可為固定值或為變數;p可以是一固定值、雙固定值或為新增病例的函數。更進一步解析美國AIDS病例在不同族群與行為上的差異,獲知亞裔/太平洋裔與印第安人/阿拉斯加人的H值低於其他族群,其原因可能是由於小的族群具有較高的接觸所致。異性性接觸的H值低於其他,顯示性交易是傳播HIV的主要途徑。SFE-1與SFE-2模式也可被用在流行病的預測上,因為SFE-2使用已知值而非估算值,所以SFE-2模擬結果較佳;但是SFE-1更可以明確提供一個流行病在失控或控制下的預測結果。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。因此在幫助政府評估社會經濟成本與健康憂慮上是一個有用的工具。所以我提出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。The course of epidemics resembles a scale-free network, but some specific elements should be considered in developing a new model. I introduced a time shifting (replacing t and ti by t?(ti?1) and ti?(ti?1)) and a discontinuous forcing function H(t; ti?1, L+ti?1) into the scale-free network model to fit the specific period and intensity of the infection, and redefined the probability p as an invalid infection rate. Then I proposed the new Scale-Free Epidemic Models, SFE-1 and SFE-2. The simulation results of six types of epidemic transmission showed that the SFE models were accurate and useful. In the case studies, the results showed that H were constant or variable, and p were a fixed constant, a dual constant, or a function of new addition cases in the epidemic periods. The further studies for comparisons of the difference races/ethnics and the difference transmission category of AIDS cases in USA were analyzed. The H value for Asian/Pacific and Indian/Alaska Native race were lower than others, it may be due to small clusters with constant high contact rates. The H value for heterosexual contact was lower than the others, indicating that whoredom was the main transmission for HIV. Both SFE models can be used to predict epidemics, SFE-2 is better than SFE-1 due to SFE-2 using given indices and not conjectured values, but SFE-1 can more clearly suggest results of epidemics when under control or not. SFE models can help the government to determine the level of caution needed and the projected results of policy decisions. They are useful tools in assisting to balance socio-economic and health concerns. I hereby propose a new method to fight against epidemics with detailed procedures of using the SFE models.

台灣植物染與光敏有機太陽能電池

由於低廉成本、無毒及其他原因,由二氧化鈦、有機染料及電解液所製造的光敏有機太陽能電池(DSC)被預測即將成為一種大規模廣泛流行的太陽能電池。本實驗比較合成染料(像紅汞和疊氮離子)及成本較低且無毒的天然植物染料用於太陽能電池的效能。有些天然植物染料的效能大於合成染料的效能,像是紫色高麗菜、地瓜……等。在研製太陽能電池的過程中, 本研究利用自製的幾丁質燒結出的奈米顆粒成效極佳,不但粒徑大小符合,在燒結的過程中也不需經過物理研磨及介面活性劑的輔助,並且在低溫下即可燒結,並由BET 和SEM 測得幾丁質燒結的TiO2 的孔隙度大於標準燒結的TiO2 的孔隙度,因此本實驗決定利用去乙醯化之幾丁質扮演太陽能電池的二種角色:介面活性劑及保護劑。在本實驗中,部分的電池效能不盡理想,或許是因為所有的太陽電池樣本均使用相同的電解液(I3-)。要找到每種太陽能電池最適合的電解液則需要更多的研究。Because of the desirable features of low cost, non-toxin, and other reasons a dye-sensitized nanostructured solar cell (DSC) composed of nanocrystalline TiO2, organic dyes and electroiytes is expected to be in prevalent use. This study compared the differences in the functioning of different dyes in the solar cells, specifically those between the synthetic dyes, such as Merchrochronate and Polypyridyl complexes of ruthenium (N3-), and dyes made of natural plants which cost less and are not toxic. Some natural dyes, such as purple cabbage, sweet potato, etc, were found to have better efficiency than the synthetic dyes. The study makes use of self-made chitin to sinter nano particles, and the result is excellent. First, the particle radius meets the size requirements. Second, in the process of sintering nano particles, no physical pulverizing or surfactant assistance was needed. Third, the nano particles can be sintered at a low temperature. Fourth, from BET and SEM measurements, the degree of aperture of TiO2 sintered with chitin is superior to that sintered with Triton X-100. For these reasons, the de-acetylated chitin was chosen to serve as surfactant assistance and protector in the solar cells in this study. The study also found that some solar cells were not efficient enough. Maybe it is because all the samples of solar cells in this study were produced with the same electrolyte (I3-). Further study is needed to figure out the most suitable electrolytes for each solar cell.

間歇泉的研究

間歇泉是一種十分奇特的地質景觀,地下水受到火成岩入侵所帶來的穩定熱源加熱,產生水蒸氣,利用水蒸氣形成的空氣柱壓力推動水由地底噴發出地表,也因為熱源穩定使得噴發時間差接近一定值,形成所謂的「週期性」。而根據實驗結果發現,管壁較薄的管子,在噴發之後,會使管中殘餘的水稍作降溫,加上補充的冷水使系統降溫;管長愈長時,蓄水槽中的水量較多,提高溫度所需的時間也較長,而延長了噴發的週期,最後歸納出間歇泉形成及存在的三個主要條件:(1)穩定的熱源;(2)細長的孔道;(3)豐沛的地下水。 The geyser is a very amazing sort of geologic scenery. Its principle is that the heat source of invasive volcanic rock heats the underground water to produce steam that results an air-columnar with a large pressure to erupt through the underground on the surface. Because of the steady supply of heat source, the period between eruptions is closed to a constant called “periodicity.” According to the result of the experiments, the tube that have thin wall can lower the remaining water’s temperature a little and the cold water’s supply can also lower the plumbing system’s temperature after eruption. Besides, the water in the longer tube needs more time to higher its temperature to protract the period because it have more water in its reservoir. Eventually, there are 3 essential conditions of the geysers’ existence concluded: (1) steady supply of heat; (2) a thin and long standpipe; (3) abundant underground water.

會變色的金屬—神奇的奈米科技

本報告研究內容,是利用電化學氧化還原方法合成金、銀、銅三種奈米粒子,以及探討電流是否會影響電解合成奈米粒子,在前半部成功地利用控制電解的部份條件,如界面活性劑、以及電流值大小,而合成出金、銀、銅三種奈米粒子,利用UV-VIS的光譜分析,鑑定其三種奈米粒子不同的吸收波長,其光譜出現吸收的現象是因為金屬表面特殊的表面電漿共振吸收現象而產生的。但是在本實驗中發現在UV-VIS的光譜中,電壓值的大小對金奈米粒子吸收波長並沒有關係,這些奈米粒子在水溶液中藉由界面活性劑的包覆,而溶解的相當好。 The content of thesis focuses on using electrochemistry oxidation-reduction reaction to synthesis gold, silver, and copper nanoparticles. We confer whether current of the electrolysis is an influence for the synthesis of nanoparticles. We succeed in synthesizing nanoparticle by controlling some terms of the electrolysis, like the micelle concentration, and current value. Using UV-VIS spectrum to analyse wavelength of three kinds of nanoparticles. The special phenomenon of absorption spectra is appeared because the surface plasma resonance on the surface of metal. From the UV-Vis spectra, we didn’t find the exact relationship between the potential value and the absorption spectra of gold nanoparticles. Finally, we also obtained good results in spectra observation, which meant that these nanoparticles encapsulated with surfactants were well solved in the solution.

吸菸、喝酒與嚼檳榔之基因毒性研究

流行病學資料顯示,近年來口腔癌發生率明顯增加。本研究之目的是探討口腔黏膜細胞微核發生頻率及彗星分析法之基因傷害指標是否與菸、酒、檳榔暴露有關,以及是否可以看到菸、酒、檳榔之交互作用。 研究對象為桃園地區山地鄉之民眾,利用問卷收集個人之菸、酒、檳榔及干擾因子之暴露資料,再採集樣本之口腔黏膜細胞及血液樣本,進行基因傷害評估。 結果顯示,口腔黏膜之微核發生率與檳榔之暴露相關性最大,可以解釋12.6%;然而,彗星尾部動量和尾部長度則以香菸暴露解釋力最大;同時,檳榔與香菸的基因傷害交互作用似乎存在。因此我們認為,口腔黏膜細胞之微核發生頻率對於檳榔暴露者應是不錯的基因傷害指標,而香菸暴露則以彗星分析法之指標較為敏感。 ;Epidemiological studies showed that the incidence of oral cancer increased significantly in recent years. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the genotoxicity of cigarette smoke, alcohol and betel quid use as well as the. interaction effect between these three risk factors. The study subjects were selected from residents lived in a mountain area of Tao-Yuan county. We used questionnaire as a tool of exposure measurement. The exfoliated oral buccal cells and blood samples were collected for the assay of micronucleus frequency (MNF) and comet assay. We find that there are higher MNF in smokers, alcohol drinkers, and betel quid users compared with nonusers. However, a significant difference can not be found because of small sample size. The relationship between MNF and three risk factors was strongest in betel quid use, however, for smokers the parameters in comet assay were more sensitive than MNF. There is a tendency of additive effect between cigarette, alcohol and betel quid although without statistical significance. Advanced statistical analysis is suggested to find stronger evidence in the genotoxicity biomarker.

模擬聲波干涉

在高中光學裡,介紹了許多有關光波之特性,而聲波與光波皆具有波動性,因此聲波應具有如干涉、反射、聚焦等特性,但在物理課本上並未詳加敘述,所以我們開始了本項的研究,希望可以籍由改變聲源及邊界的各項條件,而探討其發生之現象。在本研究中,我們利用聲波之基本原理在電腦上進行聲場的模擬並加以改變其變因(頻率、相位、聲源數、聲源間距、強度、邊界反射),進而明瞭聲場之各項特性及應用與控制方式。經電腦模擬聲場圖中,我們觀察到,兩聲源干涉所形成之圖形為多組雙曲線所組成,近似於光學之雙狹縫干涉,增加聲音頻率與聲源間距離皆可使腹(節)線數目增加。如同現實世界中所知的,隨著頻率的增加,將會具有指向性的產生並且在聲源數目越多時越明顯,但發現頻率增加至一定值之後,指向性反而會降低而形成冠狀面。在延遲了多點聲源間相位之後,聲場分佈有偏轉之現象,利用相位延遲的方法,在多聲源中,將兩旁之聲音偏向中央將可造成聲音的聚焦。在兩聲源干涉中,調整其中一聲源之強度,將可完全消除兩音源連線間一點之聲音,可適當的應用在工業上消除噪音。聲場分佈在具有邊界的環境下,我們試著找出聲源位置及邊界條件對聲場分佈的影響與關係以模擬室內聲場,但在簡化的數學模式下,即無法有我們所希望之最均勻聲場分佈產生。最後我們將實驗中的結果與文獻上的實驗數據加以比較,以探討其誤差。 The optical course in senior high school , which introduced many characteristics of optical wave. However, both of sound and light have the characters of wave; therefore, sound wave should have the characteristics, such as interference, reflection and focalizing. Nevertheless, there are not many details of sound wave in the section of acoustic on our textbook. So we began this research, and discuss the different phenomena by changing many kinds of variables. In our research, we simulated the sound field on the computer, based on sound wave’s principle, furthermore we change many variables, which like frequency, phase, source number, distance, intensity and reflection. It helps us understand the characteristics of\r sound, how to control sound and how to apply these findings. According to the result of computer simulation, we discovered that the graph of two acoustic source’s interference comprised by many pairs of hyperbola, just like optical double slit interference. As the frequency or the sound source distance increased, acoustic direction became more and more obvious. But when the frequency was high enough to over the extreme, instead increasing, the acoustic direction would lower down like a crown. After we make phase differences on one of the two sound sources, sound field generated\r deviation. So if we use this method in multiple sound source, and delay the middle source, the sound field might be converged. In such two-sound-source interference pattern, when we control the intensity of one, a certainly point on the line of the two sources disappeared When the sound field enclose by borderline, the standing wave appear, and we discovered many funny phenomena. We put large amount of source in a narrow slit, the phenomenon of diffraction appeared. Finally, we discussed the discrepancies between interference pattern previously done by others experiments and the simulated one conducted by us.

擺動知覺曉,觸角知多少!--光線與震動影響美洲蜚蠊觸角擺動模式之研究

During the biology classes from junior to senior high, we have learned many interesting instance of different animal behavior. Most people paid more attention on the Vertebrates as their experimental subjects. The other species around us, although with simple body structures, may behave rather complicated and versatile reactions. In particular, one of the most common insects with simple body structure in our neighborhood is the American cockroach (Periplaneta americana). The aim of this study is to investigate the different swing motion modes of antennae of American cockroach by computer-aided Imaging Analysis. The parameters of each swing motion mode were calculated in order to analyze how light (including light stimulation and light adaptation) and vibration may affect the antennae behavior of American cockroach. It was found that the antennae swing motion modes were significantly different under different types of stimulus. If two types of stimulus occurred at the same time, the reactions of antennae motion may become conformable. In conclusion, antennae behavior has shown to significantly affect the survivability and environmental adaptation of American cockroach. Not only the antennae are considered as the sensitive receivers; but also they are the important transmitters to reflect physiological status and environmental condition.從國中到高中的生物課堂上,我們學到許多有趣的動物行為例子,但前人多以脊椎動物作為研究對象,而我們身旁的許多生物,身體構造雖較為簡單,但行為表現卻豐富多樣,尤其是常見的美洲蟑螂(Periplaneta americana),可說是最親近我們的昆蟲之一。本研究以攝影紀錄的方式,透過電腦進行影像分析,記錄不同刺激下蟑螂的觸角擺動模式,並計算出各項觸角運動的參數,以瞭解光線(照光刺激或照光適應)與震動刺激對其觸角行為的影響。我們發現在不同因子的刺激下,觸角擺動的模式具有差異,若兩種刺激同時發生,蟑螂觸角的行為亦具有整合性的反應,證明蟑螂觸角的行為模式,對其生存與適應具有重要意義。這也代表觸角除了為敏感的受器,亦為能反映出生理與環境狀態的重要動器。
