安培植物假說
在「植物的秘密生命」這本書中提到植物在電場或磁場中會生長的更好,我最近正好學到了電磁場如何產生,以及一些產生電磁場的方法,所以想利用螺形管線圈來產生均勻的電磁場並用安培右手定則來控制磁場產生的方向來了解電磁場在高低室溫下對綠豆生長的影響. 在本實驗中我利用鐵碗纏繞線圈的方式並通入不同的電流大小來改變磁場的強度,所進行研究所得到的結果顯示(1)綠豆只有在適當的電流大小下所產生的電磁場才可以幫助加速綠豆的生長(2)栽培綠豆的環境所架設的電磁場越高,越能持續讓綠豆的生長加速(3)綠豆的加速生長並不需要整天都通電(4)綠豆在N極朝上的磁場中生長的速率較S極朝上的磁場中要快(5)在較低的室溫下,電磁場加速綠豆生長的效應較能顯現 It has been mentioned that the plants will grow faster in the electronic or magnetic field in the book of “the secret life of plants”, I learned about the knowledge and methods of how to produce the electromagnetic field just now, I use the screw wire to produce electromagnetic field and control the direction by the Amplifier’s rule to investigate the growing speed of green beans under electromagnetic field in those different temperature. In this experiment, I use the wire to screwed around the ironed bowl, and make different electric current to generate different strength of electromagnetic field, the results indicate that (1) The faster growing speed will only exist in some strength of electromagnetic field (2) The higher ironed bowls that full of screwed wire will result in the faster growing speed (3) It will not need electromagnetic field all days (4) The green beans will grow fast in those north magnetic pole than those in south magnetic pole (5)The effect of electromagnetic field to increase growing speed will be significant in higher room temperature
彩色數位影像資料庫檢索架構-以國立自然科學博物館為例
國立自然科學博物館推出《數位博物館》,內含大量生物圖鑑及豐富館藏文物之圖文資 料,無論用於資料查詢或提供進階研究資料皆有極大貢獻。但經使用後發現,其檢索架構仍 只提供關鍵字搜尋及分類瀏覽,無法精確檢索出欲查詢之資料,尚有改進之處。 於是針對現有之影像檢索系統,我們跳脫出傳統以文字為檢索之依據,而設計出一連串 之改進方案,如下: 1. IRHI 色調辨識影像檢索,針對色調相近之影像類群提供良好檢索架構。 2. IRCI 輪廓辨識影像檢索,針對輪廓相近之影像類群提供良好檢索架構。 3. IRHCI 色調暨輪廓辨識影像檢索,綜合前述兩種方法之優點所設計。 A while ago, the National Museum of Natural Science put forth the “Digital Museum,” which contains great amount of biological pictographs and abundant collections of textual as well as pictorial materials. This has contributed tremendously to information search and advanced research. However, after employing them, we come to discover that its retrieval paradigm only provides key-word search and categorization browse, without enabling us to precisely pick out the desired data. Thus, this paradigm leaves something to be desired. To make up for the insufficiency of the existing system, we have escaped from the concept of searching by texts. Instead, we have designed a series of improvements. They are as follows: 1. IRHI(Image Retrieval by Hue Identification): Providing a sound paradigm for the image groups composed of similar hues. 2. IRCI(Image Retrieval by Contour Identification): Providing a sound paradigm for image groups composed for similar contours. 3. IRHCI(Image Retrieval by Hue and Contour Identification): Combining the strengths of the above two paradigms.
由心血管超音波影像之動態分析研究主動脈硬化
我們的研究工作有兩項重要成果:首先,根據物理學的彈性體振動模型發現:主動脈硬化的定量分析訊息可由測量主動脈相對於心臟運動的延遲時間明確得知,而且可用目前臨床使用中的心臟超音波儀器直接進行此一測量。在對23 個樣品、每個樣品分析大約50至100 次心跳的初步研究中發現,此一延遲時間是確實存在的,而且延遲時間超過大約0.17秒時,樣品就可能具有動脈硬化的現象。其次,在比照過10 組樣品的數據後發現,上述之延遲時間確定可由體外的胸前超音波掃描(TTE)準確測得,而不需要採用侵入式的經食道超音波掃描(TEE),以免除受測者的不適,及避免副作用的風險,使得此一新方法更具有方便、普遍的優點。而且此一方法也可能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進一步確定此診斷方法之可靠性。 Two important results were achieved in this research. Firstly, according to the physical model of elastic oscillation, we found that the qualitative analysis of aorta stiffness could be obtained by a measurement of the delay time of the aorta motion relative to the cardiac motion. This measurement could be carried out with the conventional echocardiography. A preliminary analysis based on 23 samples, with 50 to 100 heartbeats per sample, confirmed the existence of this delay time. Also, a delay time of greater than 0.17 sec might imply the symptom of aorta stiffness. Secondary, after a comparison of 10 samples, the aforementioned delay time could be measured with TaransThoracic Echo (TTE) instead of TransEsophadeal Echo (TEE), in which the later is invasive while the former is not. Therefore, the discomfort of the patient and the risk of invasive operation can be avoided, making this new method more convenient and more common to accomplish. This method could also clearly discern some abnormal cardiac performance. A large-scale study with this method should be conducted in the future.
利用電化學合成P型半導體--碘化銅(CuI)光感測器的製作
碘化銅(CuI)為一種P型半導體,在一般文獻中大部分被用做催化劑,合成極為不易。我們利用一簡單電化學合成的方式,可將銅控制在一價銅( Cu?O ),如在有碘離子( I- )的溶液中便形成CuI。在這研究中我們將所合成出之P 型半導體CuI 製成光感測器,在偵測不同光強時有良好的線性關係(r2=0.9961)。在光感測器的實驗中我們利用CuI 電極,讓它接受光照,使其電流產生光電流,如果能儲存其光電流能量,就可成為一太陽能電池,利用其原理,未來可以發展成為替代能源。 CuI is a kind of P type of semiconductor in the general literatures. Most of the CuI is use to catalyst. Except that, CuI is difficult to synthesis. We use a simple way of Electoctrochemistry complex to keep Cu?O under controlling. For example, in the I- solution, Cu becomes CuI. In the study, we make the synthesis P type of semiconductor to be light sensor. In different lightness, the procedure showed good linearity(r2=0.9961) In the light sensor, we use CuI pole to accept sunlight. Then the current will produce light current. If we could store the energy of light current, it will be a solar energy battery. When we apply the theory, it can develop to be substitute energy.\r
數位攝譜儀及其數位分析方法
Color is not a physical quantity, but it is a characteristic of spectra. Traditionally spectra of light sources are characterized by the wavelengths and intensities of the spectral lines. We propose an alternative way of charactering spectra using colors. Using digital cameras, convex lens, and a 600 Lines/mm grating, we design a “Digital Spectrophotometer” (Pic.1), which uses no light sensors and electrical circuits that are necessary for conventional spectrometers. To analyze a spectrum using the “Digital Spectrophotometer”, we take digital images of the diffracted light through the grating emitted by the light source and then analyze the intensity distribution of the color components of the spectral lines. The structure of the “Digital Spectrophotometer” is simple and is easy to operate. The Digital Spectrophotometer includes a computer software program we have developed called the “Digital Spectrological Method”. After enlarging the digital spectrographs to a mosaic scale and regards each mosaic as a basic color block, the Digital Spectrological Method will transform every color block into a four dimensional “color coordinates” (λ (wavelength), R(red), G(green), B(blue)), where the coordinateλ is translated from the spatial position of the spectral line and the R, G, and B coordinates specifies respectively the corresponding intensity of the red, green, and blue color components. Comparing the “color coordinates” of the unknown light sources to the known, we can easily identify the wavelengths of the lights emitted by the unknown illuminant precisely. We have accomplished the following experiments by using the “Digital Spectrophotometer”: 1. Measure the spectra of various gaseous atoms, and establish the “database of digital spectra in color coordinates” (DDSCC). 2. Compare the characters of color presentation between digital camera images and positive film of the optical camera. 3. Identify the absorption spectrum of the Solar spectrum (Fraunhofer Lines) using the DDSCC. 4. Analyze the Orion αandβ spectrum using the DDSCC. 5. Identify the 589.0 and 589.6 nm wavelength difference between the “Double Lines of sodium spectrum”. 6. Measure the range of wavelength of the colored LED and register the results into the (λ, R, G, B) coordinates. 7. Compare the range of wavelength of He-Ne Laser and commercial Laser pointer. 8. Measure the Zeeman splitting of the hydrogen atom spectrum at 0.5 Tesla.
顏色雖不是物理量,卻是光譜的特性,傳統上對光譜的分析只記錄波長及對應的強度,而非以顏色來區分。我們運用數位相機、凸透鏡及600 條/㎜光柵,設計一個以顏色成分為標準來分析各類光譜的「數位攝譜儀」(Pic.1)。這個新的設計無須使用傳統光譜儀所需之光感應器及電路設計,只需拍攝光源透過光柵的繞射影像即可分析對應之光譜。我們製作的「數位攝譜儀」包含了一個自行設計的電腦軟體程式「數位光譜分析法」;將拍攝到光譜數位影像放大成「馬賽克」,作為光譜的最小「色塊」,該程式可將每個色塊轉換為一組四維的「顏色座標」 (λ (波長),R(紅),G(綠),B(藍)),其中的λ 座標係由光譜線的位置轉換而來,而紅、綠、藍座標則記錄對應的紅、綠、藍色成分強度。與已知光源譜線的「顏色座標」比較,「數位攝譜儀」可精確測量各種未知光源放射出的光波波長且操作方便。利用「數位攝譜儀」的數位分析方法,我們完成以下實驗:1. 測量不同種類的原子光譜,建立「數位光譜資料庫」,包括氫、汞及鈉原子。2. 比較數位相機影像與光學相機正片的色彩顯影。3. 利用「數位光譜資料庫」,鑑定太陽光譜中的吸收光譜(Fraunhofer Lines)。4. 利用「數位光譜資料庫」,分析獵戶座α、β的可見光光譜。5. 鑑別波長589.0、589.6 奈米的鈉雙線。6. 用顏色座標(λ,R,G,B)測量發光二極體的波長範圍。7. 比較He-Ne 雷射與雷射光筆放光的波長範圍,發現市售雷射光筆所放之光並非單頻。
短暫高鹽刺激提升番茄果實品質
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.
火災逃生指引系統
在台灣公共場合快速成長下,例如:大賣場、百貨公司、展覽會場,這些公共大型場合都有很好的消防設施,但始終有人葬身於火場? 原因就是幾乎所有的人都不會去特別注意逃生平面圖,導致花太多的時間尋找出口,這樣生存機率就大大降低。火場裡面有太多的致命因素,像是:高溫的空氣,毒氣、濃煙…等,所以必須把握每一分每一秒。為了加快逃生速度,我們將所有的通道都設有導引警示器,逃生者只要順著導引警示器就可以安全到達出口。為了因應公共場合有龐大的人群,所以逃生路線不能只有一條,因此我們設計上是有多條路線,一、可以解決龐大人群,二、可以加快速度。;With the rapid growth of public places in Taiwan, evacuation system is of more and more importance. Actually, public places, such as hyper malls, department stores and exhibitions, are not without fire-fighting equipment, but why is that there are still people getting killed in a fire? The reason is that almost no one actually pays attention to the evacuation plans. As a result, it often takes too much time to find the exits, which lowers the possibility of survival. In a fire, there are usually too many fatal factors, which could lead to death, such as high temperature and heavy smoke; therefore time is precious when escaping from a fire. To fasten the speed of evacuation, we set guiding alarms in every passageway. By following the guiding alarms, people can get to the exits safely. Besides, owing to the huge amount of population in public places, there can’t be only one route out. With regard to this, we design many routes in order to enable and fasten the speed of evacuation of huge amount of population.
「天上掉下來的禮物嗎?」—討論十年來大陸沙塵暴對台灣之影響與變化趨?
In recent years, sandstorms have seriously attacked Taiwan day by day. Combining with the observations of Central Weather Bureau and the satellite images of NASA, the study has been collected the data of suspension grain in decades. And the study hopes the sandstorms’ information could be observed in early period. Still it hopes to find out the possible transmission paths in the atmosphere. Then we know how to cope with sandstorms in early time. Sandstorms attack Taiwan frequently in spring, the end of the autumn and the beginning of the winter. Compared with the charts of sandstorms and the satellite images, we could broadly aware that the moving paths of sandstorms are related to the currents and the characteristics of the atmosphere. When El Nino happens, the times of sandstorms attacking Taiwan decrease, and that increase when La Lina happens. According to the results of spectrum analysis, there might be high peaks of a year and six months short period varieties. And low peaks of 2.2 years and 7 months period, tell us that the short period aerosol varieties should be relative with season changes, the long period aerosol varieties may be relative with the El Nino and La Lina period. 近年來,大陸沙塵暴侵襲台灣的情況日趨嚴重影響。本研究中收集了近十年來懸浮顆粒資料,配合環保署空氣品質監測站、中央氣象局所觀測的資料與美國太空總署的衛星影像資料及NASA航空資源實驗室的氣流軌跡回推圖,希望能夠在早期觀測時發現大陸地區沙塵暴訊息,和沙塵暴所帶至大氣中的懸浮顆粒可能傳輸路徑。發生沙塵暴侵臺事件的季節,主要在春季及秋冬兩季交替期間發生的次數為最多。由地面天氣圖表、氣流軌跡回推圖及美國太空總署的衛星影像進行綜合比對之後,可大致瞭解大陸沙塵可能的移動路徑與大氣環流特徵有關。 聖嬰現象(El Nino)發生時,侵襲臺灣的沙塵暴次數會減少。在「反聖嬰現象」(La Lina)發生時,侵襲臺灣的次數相對增加。經由頻譜分析中得知,懸浮顆粒高峰期的變化有1年期及6個月變化趨勢,懸浮顆粒低峰期的週期變化有2.2年與7個月的變化趨勢,顯示短週期大氣懸浮顆粒變化應與季節變化有關,長期性變化或許與聖嬰反聖嬰週期有關連。
