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.

搖搖樂— 自然的搖擺頻率

一. 此研究是探討物體自由搖擺的現象,單擺和複擺是在物理學上常見的擺動現象,都是一種固定支點的擺動現象,尤其複擺運動時,擺動物體受轉動慣性影響而造成支點的受力,為一種拘束的第一向後運動現象。而本研究在探討多自由度自由支點的單一方向度之擺動現象。二. 本實驗從這幾種方向分別探討1. 扇形體在平面上之擺動2. 平板在圓弧面上之擺動3. 扇形體在圓弧曲面上之擺動三. 經我們實驗研究結果發現,在地球重力場中沒有固定支點的搖擺現象,是受到下列幾種因素影響1. 搖擺形體的形狀,其質量慣性矩的影響。2. 擺動物體與接觸路徑的相互影響。3. 擺動質量對擺動的頻率影響很小。This research explores the phenomena of swinging objects--- simple pendulum andcompound pendulum, which are constantly observed in physics. The inertial moment of the swing produces pressure to fixed points of support on which the swings occur, especially in compound pendulum, which are classified as restricted single freedom. The study provided here explores the phenomena of the frequency of unfixed supporting points. The exploration of this research develops experimentally as follows: a. fan shaped objects swinging on the plane surface b. flats swinging on the arced surface c. fan shaped objects swinging on the are-curved surface An impressive conclusion that there is no swinging phenomenon of fixed supporting points in gravity field on earth is achieved from the above experiments. A number of factors influence the phenomena of swings: a. the shapes of swinging objects and the influence of mass inertial moment b. the interaction between swinging objects and interfacing paths c. little influence from swinging mass to the swinging frequency

讓氣體無所遁形的微小黏度計

本實驗在微小的測試環境下,以熱線風速計偵測壓縮空氣流經圓柱鈍體後方渦旋逸放的頻率,推導出雷諾數(Re) 與史卓荷數(St) 之關係。預期能利用有效雷諾數的概念,探討加熱圓柱流場的Re-St 關係,將25℃、50℃、100℃、150℃、200℃時的臨界雷諾數回歸成有效臨界雷諾數,導出Re 之分母---空氣黏度,以後便能以此不同環境溫度所對應之空氣黏度方程式,於各式環境下量得空氣的黏度。但因為在實驗中碰到了量測精度的限制,所以這個部份只有做現象的探討,並由觀測渦流逸放頻率發現到加熱圓柱確實可有效地穩定流場。未來也將會提高量測的精度,以期望能達到辨識氣體的效果。;The purpose of this experiment is to measure the vortex-shedding frequency while the compressed air flow over a cylinder by hot-wire anemometer and all of the experiment is set up at the small testing environment. By this way, we can find out the relationship of Reynolds number and Strouhal number. We expect that research the relationship between Re and St while flow over a heated cylinder by using the concept of effective Reynolds number. We can get the effective Re by curving fitting the critical Re at 25℃、50℃、100℃、150℃、200℃each and derive out the viscosity of the air. After this, then we can measure the viscosity of the air everywhere after knowing the viscosity with respect to the specific temperature. We only discuss the phenomena at this part, because the limitation of the accuracy of the instrument. We also observe that a heated cylinder can stabilize the flow field effectively by the vortex-shedding frequency. We are going to enhance the accuracy of the instrument and fulfill the gas identification.

膠體沉澱效果的新式測量法

要檢測膠體粒子是否存在於溶質中,並不能以一般的光學顯微鏡觀察得出,若是用廷得耳效應觀察光線散出的量決定,則將運用到大量昂貴的精密儀器,與繁複深奧的化學理論,本實驗主旨即在運用自製的簡單儀器測量待測膠體流經強磁場因磁電效應產生電壓,藉著改變沈降劑種類或劑量使電壓產生波動的現象,藉此評估各種沉澱劑對膠體溶液沉降效果好壞與最適當的劑量,並將此結果應用在實際污水處理作業的先期測試上。Wanting to know colloid particles exist in solute by a normal optical microscope is impossible. If we use Tyndall effect, to observe the quantity of dispersive beams, to prove whether colloid particles exist in solute, then we will use amount of expensive and precise apparatuses and even complex and abstruse chemical theory. The gist of this experiment is using simple apparatuses that made by us to measure the volt generated by colloid flowing through the strong magnetic field(magnetic-electric effect).Then we try to change the sort or dose of precipitant to let the volt undulate, so that we can compare the impression on precipitating of each of the precipitant and the most applicable dose. Finally the result can be applied to forward trial of practical sewage disposal system.

從小玩意探討大問題-磁浮隔空旋轉器的轉動情形與磁場變化之研究

磁浮隔空旋轉器是由一個旋轉軸和底座構成,利用兩者間相互排斥的磁力, 產生隔空漂浮的效果。本研究首先對旋轉軸的結構加以分析,並設計啟動裝置, 探討啟動電壓、旋轉軸重量及底座磁力等因素對漂浮轉動的影響。 我們分析維持旋轉平衡的各種作用力,並探討旋轉軸重心位置與摩擦力的關 係,以驗證我們的分析結果。此外,我們也利用自行設計的啟動裝置,提供穩定 的初始轉速,探討旋轉軸重心位置不同時,持續轉動時間的變化,進一步驗證所 做的分析。 為了瞭解磁場在旋轉軸漂浮過程中發生的變化,我們設計了支架把空間座標 化,再以高斯計測量出各點的磁場,獲得各平面的磁場強度分佈圖。配合磁力線 分佈圖與所測得的磁場強度分佈圖,我們以一個嶄新的分析模式,將抽象的磁場 概念具體化,使我們對旋轉軸放置前後及磁力與重力平衡時的磁場變化,更深入 的了解,同時也發現磁場強度會隨距離的增加而減弱。 最後我們在旋轉器上裝置感應線圈,經由旋轉實驗測得感應電壓的存在,證 明旋轉器轉動時,磁場會產生變化。 經由對磁浮隔空旋轉器的探討,我們得以了解它的漂浮原理、磁力與摩擦力 間的平衡關係,以及旋轉前後磁場變化。The Magnetic Floating Spinner(MFS) is composed of one spinner with a magnetic base. The floating effect of the spinner is caused by the interaction between the two opposite magnetic fields. We first analyzed the detail structure of the MFS, and then designed a starter to rotate it. Later, we studied the effect of starting electric potential, the weight of the spinner and the magnetic force of the base on the floating movement. We presented an explanation for the forces that maintained the floating of the spinner and, to support that, we studied the friction force with the position change of the spinner gravity centre. We also used the starter designed by us to provide a stable initial rotating force and analyzed the relationship between the change of gravity centre position and the duration of rotation. In order to understand the magnetic field change during floating movement, we designed a spatial frame to coordinate the spinner that floated above the base. We measured the surrounding magnetic force with the Goth’s apparatus and conducted a magnetic force distribution diagram. According to this diagram and the line of magnetic force, we therefore provide a brand new analysis model , which bring the abstract concepts of the magnetic field into a concrete theory. This research not only brings us to understand the magnetic field change of the spinner before and after its placement over the base and the balance between the magnetic and the gravity force, but also reveals that the magnetic force will wane with the increase of distance. Finally, we placed an induction coil by the spinner to detect a voltage change during spinner movement. This is an evidence that the magnetic field will change during the spinner movement. Through the study of MFS, we can now understand why it floats, the balance between magnetic and friction force, and the change of the magnetic force before and after the spinner movement. MFS = Magnetic Floating Spinner

黑擬蛺蝶(Precis iphita iphita)的生存策略

Beings inherit various morphs and natural ability properties from their genetic parents to adapt to the environment and survive; Precis iphita iphita , for instance, is a best example of it. Although few literatures on Precis iphita iphita is found, through long-term field observation on the food intake, nest building, avoiding predator of immature stage, and living domain, the oviposition, plant preference of the adult, different stages of morphs and changes of behavior can be classified obviously when there are environmental or weather changes. The above can help investigate how they interact and influence with plants. This study aims to record and describe various behaviors and surrounding changes for Precis iphita iphita. 生物為適應環境求取生存,從親代遺傳許多形態、本能;黑擬蛺蝶(Precis iphita iphita) 的生活史就是個很好的例子。雖然文獻報告對黑擬蛺蝶的形態與行為描述不多,但藉由野外 長期實地觀察幼蟲的攝食、築巢、躲避天敵,以及成蝶的領域、產卵、食草選擇,可明顯區 分當環境、氣候產生變化時,黑擬蛺蝶不同蟲期的蟲體都有許多外在行為的改變,可作為探 討其與植物間的交互作用和影響。本研究旨在描述黑擬蛺蝶各種不同的行為與當時環境的狀 態,並將實際觀察所得詳實記載,以供他人比較參考。

「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。

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.

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

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.
