COP8 is the second unit of COP9 signalsome. In the comparison of BLAST ,we found that\r LLPC14 cDNA and the protein sequence are quit similar to the COP8 of Arabidopsis thaliana\r Therefore, we are interested in the role that COP8 plays in the photomorphogenesis and try to find\r the length of the sequence. So far, no result is obtained about the 3’-RACE, but we’re surprised to\r find that the sequence found in 5’-RACE is shorter than what we’re know, which suggests the RNA\r length of the cDNA used in the RACE combination has decreased.\r Although the final results of the COP8 5’and 3’-RACE haven’t been achieved, it is sure the\r COP8 is highly-conserved in many species. Since the similarity between LLPC14 and the COP8 of\r Arabidopsis thaliana is as high as 90 percent, we used the COP8 of Arabidopsis thaliana to detect the\r COP8 protein in pollen.在過去種綠豆芽的經驗中，不難發現它本身因為環境的不同，而有不同型態白化\r 的現象，例如：黑暗下萌發的豆苗。但尚未深入去理解白化的原因；而在後來的種植\r 經驗上，也發現有許多令自己覺得困惑的相同處。\r 在高二的生命科學第四章中，有提到光照與黑暗生長的植株，在構造比較上有明\r 顯的不同；其中，提及植物的活性組織存在「光敏素」（phytochrome），此色素蛋白的\r 存在於光照後，會引發一連串反應，至此，也稍微了解植物的萌發反應的差別。\r 故藉由個人在中研院植物所的資優生培訓過程，便以此為前題,進一步探究植物基\r 因組COP 8 與白化現象的相關性

This is a study about the solution to a chess flipping game. The game is based on a 4*4 game grid. First, place some chesses on the grid randomly to start a game. Move any chess by jumping over one or two neighboring chesses in the same row (left or right), same column (up or down), or on the same diagonal. Chesses which get jumped over should be flipped. The ultimate aim is to make all the chesses upside down. In this study, I try to find the rules of the beginning arrangement that ensure solution. Here are the steps I take: First, break the restriction of the 4*4 grid, and set the coordinate system. Second, find out a few “basic illustrations” that can be solved and moved in order to cope with certain complicated problems. Third, with “basic illustrations”, find the rules applying to games on n*n grid. 這是關於翻棋遊戲的可行解之探討。棋盤是一個4*4 的方格，遊戲開始時在棋盤上任意擺上一些棋子，均是正面朝上，利用相鄰棋子的水平、垂直、斜向跳躍，棋子被跳躍過一次則翻面一次，遊戲目的在於使所有的棋子都翻為反面。我要探討的是關於棋局可解不可解的問題，找出棋盤上可解棋局的規則。研究步驟大致如下：一、打破棋盤4*4 的限制，將棋盤座標化。二、找出若干個可解並可移動的「基本圖」。三、利用基本圖，找出n 列棋盤可解的規律。

實驗初期以膠體水晶模擬岩層，模擬雪山隧道水平傾斜約 1°，製作壓克力模型(實驗一)，證明是否如賈儀平教授所言《雪山隧道＝水脈改道》註3，同時此模型也證明隧道防水襯墊完工後，和隧道開挖時水力梯度的明顯變化。再加上訪問坪林到宜蘭圓通寺一帶居民結論是：1. 雪山隧道對翡翠水庫的影響不大，但對宜蘭方面影響很大2. 模型的數據證明『隧道剛開挖因為出水嚴重出現明顯梯度外，其餘二組都不再有特定梯度，即使隧道處也沒有明顯變化』。證明隧道的水平角度對水也沒有太大導引作用。因為隧道的比例對一座山而言相當小，不會有太大的影響。3. 證明隧道防水襯墊完工後，和施工前(隧道未開挖)是同一狀況。釐清對翡翠水庫影響不大後，重心改為宜蘭。此時我們綜合中興工程資料及地調所資料理出“交錯正斷層的破碎岩體”應是大漏水的原凶！1. 於是用實驗一模型加入“破碎岩體” (實驗二)證明破碎岩體水力梯度的明顯變化。2. 再加上訪問頭城附近社區，了解居民因應大漏水後改變取水層的應變措施。3. 於是再設計模型(實驗三)證明不同不透水層的相互關係。實驗末期再度訪問頭城附近社區，赫然發現水稻已開始種植(去年還荒蕪，居民抱怨連連)看到綠意盎然的稻田和笑逐顏開的居民，我們的照片和實驗數據願為雪山隧道工程做個平反！The experiment began by using gel-crystal model to simulate rock strata and the acrylic model to simulate the dip angle of 1° of the Syue Mountain Tunnel. The experiment aimed to prove if the building of the Syue Mountain tunnel will change the water tunnel as Professor Yi-Ping Jia has indicated. The model also shows the obvious change brought by the membrane lining layed on the Tunnel and the dip angle of the water power gradient when the Tunnel was built. The conclusion of our interiew with residents in the Ping-lin and Yuan-Tong Temple in I-lan is as following: 1. The building of the Syue Mountain Tunnel has more impact on the I-lan than Fei-Tsui Reservoir. 2. The statistics of the model proved that Syue Mountain only showed gradient in the beginning when it was built. The Tunnel itself did not show any obious change. The dip angle of Syue Mountain Tunnel did not draw water due to it is small in size compared to the Syue Mountain. 3. The Syue Mountain Tunnel remained unchanged after the membrane lining was layed. After we can clarify that the Syue Mountain Tunnel has less impact on the Fei-Tsui Reservoir, we turned our attention to I-lan. We combined the information provided by Zhong-Xing Construction and the Central Geological Survey, and found that the cross-normal fault if the cause of the leakage. 1. The second experiement was conducted by adding fractured stones to the previous model and proved these stones will cause the obvious change to the water power gradient. 2. We have conducted another to the communities around Tou-cheng and realized that residents have changed the water supply strata in response to the leakage. 3. Finally, we built another model in 3rd experiment to prove the relationship of 3 water proof stratas. At the end of our experiment, we returned to Tou-Cheng and found that residents have started to grow rice and started to have simle on their face. Our experiment and statistics can do Syue Mountain Tunnel justice.

藉由結合液晶與奈米線，本研究設計出新型的光電元件，我們發現這些新設計具有先前元件很難達到的新穎特性。首先，我們研究液晶分子與一維磁性奈米線之結合，很有趣的是磁性奈米線在液晶元件內，會沿著液晶方向作整齊排列，更重要的是經由一外加電場，即可調控磁性奈米線之磁場方向。藉由電場調控磁場，是很久以來許多科學家追求的目標，然而成效不彰，本研究提供了一個簡便的方法，克服了長久以來的障礙。第二個例子，我們研究液晶分子與一維半導體奈米線結合之元件，我們證實了半導體奈米線所發射瑩光之電場偏極方向，可以經由外加電場來調控，這個特性對於資訊科技的應用，將很有用處。本研究所觀測到之結果，皆可利用下列事實來理解，奈米線具有很大的表面積，因而增加了與液晶分子之交互作用，經由此增大的交互作用力，奈米線會沿著液晶分子方向排列。值得強調的是，本研究利用了已成熟的液晶顯示器技術，其未來應用性將有很大潛力。New devices based on the composites of liquid crystals and one dimensional nanowires have been designed, fabricated, and characterized. It is discovered that these novel devices own interesting properties that are very difficult to be obtained by conventional ones. As the first example, the liquid crystal device with built-in one dimensional magnetic nanowires has been studied. It is found that the magnetic nanowires can be well aligned along the orientation of liquid crystal molecules. Quite interestingly, the direction of the magnetization of magnetic nanowires can be easily manipulated by an external electric field at room temperature. The phenomenon of electric manipulation of magnetization has been studied since nineteen century, but the achievement is rather limited. Here, we provide a convenient alternative to overcome the long quest search. For the second example, the liquid crystal device with built-in semiconductor nanowires has been investigated. We demonstrate that the polarization of the emission arising from semiconductor nanowires can be easily controlled by an external electric field, which is one of the basic requirements for information technology. All of our observed results can be well understood in terms of the inherent nature of a large surface to volume ratio of one dimensional nanowires, which induces a strong interaction between embedded nanowires and liquid crystal molecules. Therefore, the nanowires can be driven along the orientation of liquid crystal molecules. It is stressed here that our newly designed devices are based on the well established liquid crystal display technology and therefore their practical application can be realized in the near future.

糖尿病是一種由於體內胰島素分泌不足或作用不良而導致血糖升高的疾病，此慢性病會造成周邊神經病變，影響周邊神經的傳導。本實驗以大白鼠為研究對象，首先將大白鼠分為兩組，一組以腹腔注射streptozotocin (STZ, 60-80 mg/kg)，破壞其胰臟之β細胞；令另一組腹腔注射生理食鹽水作為對照組。經過4-6 週，測量其血糖。其中注射STZ 的一組，依照血糖改變分為兩組，一組是高血糖(>126mg/dl)，另一組是正常血糖組(126 mg/dl), and the other had normal blood glucose level (

A novel method of electrolytic Y3Al5O12 (YAG:X, X=Ce, Eu, Tb) phosphor thin-film coating on sapphire was investigated in yttrium, aluminum, cerium, europium and terbium nitrate solution. By means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) observation, and cathodic polarization tests, the most efficient potential of deposition was found in the region between -1.2 V~-1.5 V. The YAG phosphor thin-film was successfully synthesized by the cathodic deposits were heat-treated at 1200 ℃ for 4 hours. The excitation photoluminescence (PL) spectra of Ce3+ in YAG consists of a strong maximum at about λ＝520~530 nm that show yellow emission peak, and a red emission was observed at about λ＝595~700 nm by additional Eu3+. The excitation PL spectra monitored inλ＝480~500 nm with the amount of Tb3+ and that show green emission peak. The fabrication of YAG phosphor thin-film will be useful to improve the emission intensity of the white LEDs in the future.由電解沈積陰極的電位—電流關係圖、Ｘ光繞射分析、SEM 觀察及實驗反應的經驗式我們可以知道要在導電的sapphire（氧化鋁單晶）基材上電解沈積合成燒結YAG 螢光薄膜所需之各類氫氧化金屬，其合適的電解沈積電位為-1.2 Ｖ~-1.5 V，我們利用電化學沈積法可以成功地合成欲燒結成YAG 螢光薄膜所需之氫氧化金屬，將所合成之氫氧化金屬放入高溫爐以1200 ℃高溫燒結4 小時後，依據我們目前以光螢光激發(PL)這些YAG 薄膜的光譜結果，可以成功地得到YAG:Ce(λ=520~530nm)黃光螢光薄膜、YAG:Eu(λ=595~700nm)紅光螢光薄膜及YAG:Tb(λ=480~500nm) 綠光螢光薄膜，證明以新的電化學方法可以成功製備YAG 螢光薄膜，相信這些研究成果未來應用在研發提昇白光LED 發光效能上有極大之助益。
