以簡易方法探討奈米銀的化學活性優於非奈米級銀粒子

A novel and simple method was developed to determine the activity of silver in nanometer particles more than in non-nanometer particles. The conductivity of conducting polymer, polyaniline (PANI) doped with different amount of nanometer silver particles was used to evaluated the activity of nanometer silver. In polymerization of polyaniline, hydrogen chloride solution usually used to increase the conductivity of polyaniline. When 1%(w/w) nanometer silver particles doped during the polymerization, the conductivity of polyaniline was down from 2.28 s/cm to 0.65 s/cm, then increased with increasing the amount of nanometer silver doped. The conductivity of polyaniline was changed from 2.28 s/cm to 0.47 s/cm when 3%(w/w) nanometer silver particles doped, but it is increased from 2.28 s/cm to 2.44 s/cm when was doped with 3%(w/w) micrometer silver particles. The conductivity of polyaniline changed due to the formation of silver chloride (AgCl) in doping nanometer silver. Some of the nanometer silver particles were formed to silver ion in hydrogen chloride solution for the high activity property of nanometer silver. This also can be proved from the spectra of XRD and FE-SEM. Therefore; determination the conductivity of conducting polymer by doping nanometer metal particles can be used to determine the activity of the nanometer particles. 本研究為開發一個新穎的檢測奈米金屬粒子化學活性大於非奈米金屬粒子的簡易方法。方法為利用導電高分子聚苯胺,於合成過程中添加不同濃度的奈米銀粒子,並分別偵測其成品的導電度,藉以評估奈米銀粒子的化學活性。由於聚苯胺在合成過程中通常加入鹽酸以提高其導電度,致活性較大的奈米銀粒子於氧化後,隨即與氯離子形成氯化銀的沉澱,而降低聚苯胺的導電度,如添加1﹪(w/w)奈米銀粒子的,其導電度由2.28 s/cm 降至0.65 s/cm,隨後隨著添加量的增加導電度先降後再稍回升。一般非奈米級銀粒子因氧化電位為負值,即化學活性小,而不易被氧化。由實驗結果,我們發現同樣添加3%(w/w)的奈米級銀粒子或微米級銀粒子,添加奈米級銀粒子的導電度由2.28 下降為0.47,添加微米級銀粒子的導電度卻由2.28 上升為2.44,此乃說明本方法確實足以證明奈米級金屬的化學活性的確遠大於微米級金屬,因相同條件下,微米級銀粒子未如同奈米級銀粒子一樣被氧化成銀離子。即奈米級銀粒子可以輕易的被氧化,而非奈米級銀粒子則不易被氧化。尤其也可由X 光繞射儀分析光譜圖和場發射式掃描電子顯微鏡拍攝圖證明。因此,我們可以採用添加3 %(w/w)奈米級金屬銀粒子及微米級金屬銀粒子於導電高分子的方法,並藉導電度的變化,證明奈米金屬粒子的高活潑性。

輸贏一線間-淘汰賽的相關探討

單淘汰賽是一種失敗一次即遭淘汰的賽制;在此假定每位選手都有一相對應的能力數值,本文主要探討在均高的單淘汰賽程表之下,若賽程安排完全依照種子安排原則(亦即最強的選手對最弱的選手、次強隊次弱….),則對於能力越強的選手越有保障,直觀上而言能力最強的選手應有最大的奪冠機率,探討此種賽程安排是否滿足能力較強的選手有較大的勝率?因發現在某些特殊的選手能力數值分佈之下會發生次強選手勝率大於最強選手的情況,令A、B代表最強與次強選手,P(A)、P(B)代表A、B奪冠的機率,故擬定P(B)/ P(A)為參考依據,尋求P(B)/ P(A)的最大值發生處作為最極端的狀況。發現四位選手的情況下,P(B) / P(A)最大值 = 1;八位選手的情況下,P(B) / P(A)最大值=(196+98) / 343=1.0938,當選手數為2n時,P(B)/ P(A)最大值隨n的增加而遞增。 Knockout Tournament is a highly competitive system in which any player losing a game can no longer play in the tournament. Here we suppose that every player has a numerical value that corresponds to his ability. We consider a totally-seeded knockout tournament with 2n players where in the first round, the strongest player matches the weakest player, the second strongest player matches the second weakest player, and so on. We examine whether a stronger player always has a greater probability of winning the tournament. The answer is in the affirmative for n = 2. For a tournament with eight players(n = 3), the situation is much more complicated. In certain cases, the second strongest player has the greatest probability of winning the tournament. Specifically, let A and B denote the strongest and second strongest players, P(A) and P(B) their respective probability of winning the tournament. We find that the maximum value of P(B)/P(A)equals (196+98) / 343 = 1.0938. For n > 3, we have not obtained the maximum value of P(B) / P(A) . However, it can be readily seen that the maximum value of P(B) / P(A) is non-decreasing as n increases.

討論顯微鏡下的化學反應

由於想了解化學反應的微觀形態,我們設計微型化學反應裝置來比較巨觀(傳統型)與微觀(創新型)化學反應間的差異,並探討其實用及環保方面的問題。在顯微鏡底下,我們觀察化學反應的沉澱結晶及電解反應,嘗試以各項變因(溫度、濃度、聲波…等)來觀察其結晶的型態。我們已成功地將實驗藥品用量減少到一滴(約0.04ml),並以微觀的角度觀察化學反應的過程。在實驗中,發現反應進行時,粒子會不斷流動,經查證後為愛因斯坦所提出的布朗運動,並且測得硫顆粒的直徑大小約4.2 ~ 6.7 微米。不同聲波所造成硫粒子的移動速率不同,而不同溫度的部份,我們發現→每增加十度硫粒子移動速率增加約兩倍。在面積4.392×10-4cm2 範圍內大約有250~300 顆硫沉澱的粒子。本實驗成功地將顯微鏡應用在化學領域上,若將此實驗推廣,可達到污染少、觀察實驗的時間短、用量少的目標。此實驗是邁向化學微觀世界,一種值得嘗試且創新的方法。In order to compare the differences between the chemical reactions of macroscopic reactor and microscopic reactor, we have designed a device of chemical reaction and researched into the problems of their environmental protections and practical aspects. Under the microscope, we observed not only their precipitating crystal compound from the chemical reaction and electrolytic reation but their types of crystal. We have successfully reduced the dose to one drop ( about 0.04ml) and observed the process of their chemical reaction from the angle of microscopic reactor. During performing the experiment, we found the particles would keep flowing while the reaction was working. It was proved as "Brown motion" introduced by Einstein. The diameter of these particles were around 4.2~6.7μm. We find that different sound waves and temperatures,the motion speeds are quite different. And the movement rate increases about two times as the sulfer particles increase 10℃ each time .Within the measure of area of 4.392×10-4cm2,there are 250~300 sulfer particles.The experiment has successfully used a microscope in the field of chemistry. If we popularize the experiment, we can reach the goal of less pollution, fewer the dose and time-saving observation. It’s an innovation to step to the world of chemical microscope world.

猜牌術

This research mainly talks about how someone, by observing the non-congruent patterns on the backs of the playing cards and by working with the dealer on a pre-arranged lay out, can call out the cards as if he possessed the magic power to see through them. During the card-predicting game, one can use the patterns on the backs of the cards as visual clues (Observing whether it was places upside down or not)to help figure out the probability of where the card is going to show up. Suck a mathematical formula is known as the Pigeonhole Principle. Upon an analysis of the formula, we find that when given that the value of n is greater than 24, we can successfully call out a number of cards that is greater than 2n/3 . The possibility of such mathematical studies in other directions is endless. 中文摘要: 本研究主要探討利用橋牌非對稱的牌背,猜牌者經由和傳遞牌的人的一種事先約定的方 式(排法),彷彿(魔術)透視般的將一疊牌的花色逐步猜出。其猜牌過程是利用牌背 圖案的朝前朝後的指示,配合適當的猜牌張的分配,而運用到的數學法則包含鴿籠原 理,分析與討論歸納。最後我們得到一疊由四種花色張數相等所混合的n 張牌,可猜出 的張數恆大於 2n/3 (n>24 時)。後續可研究的方向仍然甚廣。

座標平面上任三點與X 軸之最短距離和

我們的題目是”座標平面上任意三點與x軸的最短距離和”。我們一開始直接由尺規作圖著手,把距離和最小時的那點設為p,但始終無法找到一個方法精確畫到p點。後來變轉入公式的研究,我們設第一象限中A B 和C三點,固定A B C的y座標為d,並討論不同d時的情況,求出B點的範圍。另外我們也從橢圓方面著手,但此部份目前還待努力。;A B and C are three points in the plane, and L is a line in the same plane. Our target is to find a point P in L make the sum of PA+PB+PC minimum. At first we undertake by drawing pictures but we can’t find the solution we want in any case. We make L to be X-axis make A B C’s Y-coordinate to be d, and then we discuss various situations of d, and figure out the range of B. We also analyze the situation in oval, but still have no conclusion.

嘗試從小鼠胚胎幹細胞培養成生殖細胞

許多難纏的疾病,如神經退化性疾病與糖尿病,在1998年建立人類的胚胎幹細胞後,開始露出一線曙光。但就算科學家已經從胚胎幹細胞,成功引導出特殊種類與功能的細胞,預備做細胞治療時,需透過細胞核移植技術,使排斥的情形大大減少。所以當今年3月,韓國透過細胞核移植技術成功作出人類的胚胎幹細胞株時,轟動全世界。但是,他們從242顆卵,只做出一個胚胎幹細胞株,浪費這麼多卵子就牽涉到醫療倫理的層面了。既然,每一個人都要訂製自己的幹細胞株,那麼卵子的來源就很重要了。理論上,胚胎幹細胞可以分化成所有細胞與組織,當然也應該含生殖細胞在內。去年5月底,賓州大學就利用小鼠胚胎幹細胞,體外培養出型態上非常像卵子的細胞。所以,今年暑假利用兩個月時間,有個機會參與了台大醫學院婦產科的胚胎幹細胞研究團隊,稍稍瞭解了胚胎幹細胞製造成生殖細胞的過程。我們採取一種方法,先從胚胎幹細胞株,用類胚胎體(EB)的立體環境,加上 SSEA-1的篩選,與維他命A的刺激,引導至初始生殖細胞,第二步利用細胞重組的方法,利用小鼠胚胎的性腺組織,來支持這些選擇過的細胞,希望可以培養出小鼠的卵子或精子。我們從EB得到SSEA-1細胞約為全體細胞的10%,然後經過維他命A的刺激,得到SSEA-1細胞約為全體細胞的5%,這時的細胞理論上是初始生殖細胞 (PGC),但是之後的體外單獨培養或與胚胎性腺重組培養,發現成果並不是很理想。到最後,也許受限於時間還有能力,沒有得到明確的小鼠生殖細胞,但是過程中,我學習到生殖細胞的生理,胚胎幹細胞的特性,基本實驗室的細胞培養與組織染色,這些都令我印象深刻。我們認為,如果有一個適當的基因轉植的胚胎幹細胞株,例如GFP放進生殖細胞相關的基因裡頭,讓達到終點,或邁向目標的細胞群,可以自我顯現,實驗會更容易達成目標。Scientists discovered ways to obtain or derive stem cells from early mouse embryos more than 20 years ago. Many years of detailed study of the biology of mouse stem cells led to the discovery of human embryonic stem cells in 1998. Through years of experimentation scientists have established some basic protocols or "recipes" for the directed differentiation of embryonic stem cells into some specific cell types. One major problem that must be solved before human stem cell therapy becomes a reality is the threat of rejection of the transplanted cells by the host's immune system. One way to avoid the problem of rejection is to use stem cells that are genetically identical to the host. This could be achieved by the same techniques of somatic cell nuclear transplantation (SCNT) that produced Dolly. Low efficiency less than 0.5% (1/242) in Korea this March brought some controversies in ethical issues. Where and how to procure the large amount of oocytes that will be required? One source of eggs could come from the generation of oocytes from embryonic stem cells (ESCs), as described by Hubner et al. (2003) in the mouse. By the selection of primordial germ cells (PGCs) and re-aggregation with their stromal cells, we hope to derive mature germ cells such as oocytes and sperm from ESCs in this study. In this study, we have demonstrated some PGCs after sequential selection by SSEA-1 antigen and optimal culture conditions. We also proved some FE-J1 positive cells but no further fertilization was obtained after all. Further investigation about this mechanism may be needed to derive these germ cells from ESCs.

松鶴土石流災害初步調查分析

The heavy rain fall brought by Typhoon Mindulle in 2004 caused debris flows in the mountains of Taiwan. The most serious debris flows took place in the areas along the East-West Expressway. The area from Mt. Li to Tien Leng, namely, from the upper course to the middle course of River Da Chia. There was plenty of debris flowing to the courses of the rivers from the hot spring area in Ku Kuan to the starting place of East-West Expressway, Tien Leng. This situation caused the sedimentation of the river courses. According to the data issued by The Soil and Water Conservation Bureau of the R.O.C, on July 2nd debris flows erupted in the First and the Second branches of the river in Sung Ho Village and caused 1 death and 2 injuries, besides, the disaster destroyed 8 major roads causing transportation breakdown. On August 24th, the Typhoon Aere caused the heavy flow of the river which destroyed Po I Elementary School and Chun Chin Bridge. The researchers employed research reviews and field investigations as the research methodology with the research scope of Sung HoVillage in middle Taiwan and disaster of debris flow. The First and the Second branches of Sung Ho River belong to the category of high potentiality of danger of debris flows. The Chichi Earthquake had accumulated sufficient sedimentation of soil and stone. 2004 年敏督利颱風豐沛的雨量,引起台灣山區發生土石流,中橫公路沿線尤其嚴重。從 大甲溪上游的梨山到中游的天冷都有災情;谷關溫泉區至新中橫起點的天冷,大量土石,流 入溪中,造成河道淤積。據水土保持局的資料顯示,7 月2 日松鶴一、二溪爆發土石流,傷 亡各1 人,2 人失蹤,對外聯絡道路台8 省道崩塌中斷。8 月24 日艾莉颱風來襲,溪水暴漲, 沖毀博愛國小、長青橋及民房7 戶【1】。 本文以松鶴為試區,土石流災害為對象,使用文獻探討及現場調查的方法,進行研究。 結果顯示,松鶴一、二溪,均屬於土石流高危險潛勢溪流;肇因於九二一地震的崩塌地,提 供充足的土石堆積物。

綠色親善大使之誕生-生物可降解性奈米複合材料的研究

近年來,由於科技的進步,導致合成性高分子材料大量開發利用,雖然便利 了人們的生活,卻造成許多環保問題,例如:資源的消耗,以及對環境的污染。 然而「生物可降解人工合成的聚乳酸高分子」和「天然的幾丁聚醣高分子」均具 有優良的生物可相容性及生物可分解性,添加無機層狀蒙脫土可補強其機械性質 之不足。本實驗之目的是以生物可分解之合成性高分子聚乳酸作為主體,再和經 有機化改質後的蒙脫土摻混而製備出聚乳酸/蒙脫土之奈米複合材料。 本實驗主要分為三大部分: (一)以界面活性劑對蒙脫土進行改質 (二)製備聚乳酸/蒙脫土奈米複合材料試片 (三)對試片進行生物降解性測試 此外,本實驗以X-ray 繞射儀(XRD)檢測改質後蒙脫土層間距離的變化; 場發射電子顯微鏡(FE-SEM)觀察生物降解後複材之表面型態;膠體色層分析 儀(GPC)檢測生物分解前後複合材料之分子量的變化;DMA 檢測複合材料之 機械性質;TGA 檢測複合材料之熱穩定性Thanks to the development and advance of modern technology, the synthetic polymers have been put in wide use. Though the synthetic polymers provide convenience for our lives, they also bring about many environmental problems, such as consumption of natural resources and environmental pollution. Nevertheless, both biodegradable man-made PLA(Poly Lactic Acid)and natural chitosan contain good biocompatibility and biodegradability. Else, adding MMT(Montmorillonite)into PLA can modify the mechanical properties. Our experiment aimed to prepare the PLA (Poly Lactic Acid)/ Montmorillonite Nanocomposites by adding organo-modified MMT into the biodegradable PLA. The experiment underwent three phases:(1) modifying MMT by means of CTAB(n-Hexadecyl Trimethyl-ammonium Bromide, CTAB ) and chitosan (2)preparing PLA(Poly Lactic Acid)/ Montmorillonite Nanocomposites (3)testing the biodegradability of the Nanocomposites we prepared. While conducting the experiments, we made use of the XRD(X-ray Diffraction)to examine the change in MMT’s layer thickness. The SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope)was also employed to observe the surface pattern of the Nanocomposites, and used Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC)to examine the decrease of the Nanocomposites’ molecular weight. Moreover, we also used Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA)to test the mechanical properties of the Nanocomposites(Tensile testing). Last, we test the thermal stability of the Nanocomposites by using Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA).

數字波的節點探討

數字波是探討在直線上的起始點、位移速度、總數相互變化的節點關係。在直線上,將全部格子數做為總數(m),開始彈跳的點為起始點(i),每次彈跳的格子數為位移速度(s),被踩到的格子就是節點。節點是由位移速度和起始點決定,起始點本身可視為節點之一,之後的節點是由起始點加n 個位移速度產生。我們分別以三種型式討論:起始點等於位移速度,總數增加:使起始點和位移速度所代表的數字相同的彈跳。節點呈2、s、s+2…起始點固定,位移速度與總數增加:觀察位移速度和總數的關係。兩節點的和=s+2位移速度固定,起始點與總數增加:探討起始點和總數的關係。發現節點隨起始點有規律的變化在上述討論的型式中,我們再進一步將位移速度分為質數和合數,進而依其因數變化,可觀測到很多特殊的節點變化。The number wave is to discuss the relationship of the starting point, the moving speed, and the variations of total amount. In straight lines, let all the trellises be total amount (m), and let the starting jumping point be the starting point (i). The trellis number of each jump is the moving speed(s). The trodden trellises are knots. And knots are decided by the moving speed and the starting point. The starting point itself can be viewed as a knot. The following knots produce with the starting point and n moving speeds. We respectively discuss them in three types: When the starting point equals the moving speed, the total amount increases. The number of the starting point is the same with the jumping moving point; the knots are 2, s, s+2…. When the starting point is fixed, the moving speed and the total number increase. From observing the relationship between the moving speed and the total number, the sum of two knots is s+2. When the moving speed is fixed, the starting point and the total number increase. After our research into the relationship between the starting point and the total amount, we find the knots have regular variations with the starting point. From the types discussed above, we further divide the moving speed into prime numbers and non-prime numbers. Furthermore, according to the factor variations, we can see a lot of specific knot variations.
