k(2αβ ,α2 ? β2,α2 + β2 )是大家熟悉畢氏定理的通式解，且一般書籍的証明大都採用代數的手法證明。以國中生而言，上述的代數方對國中生來說不夠直接且較無推展的實用性。因此幾何觀點出發發展另一種思考方式，利用角平線的性質給予畢氏定理比例解另一種全新的詮釋，並賦予比例解中的參數α 、β 在幾何的意義。在推理的過程中，我們得到一個相當有用的對應關係：一個有理數對應到一個直角三角形、兩個有理數對應到海倫三角形，再將此對應關係運用到各種幾何圖形上面，即可證明出他們所對應的通式解。最後我的興趣鎖定在海倫三角形、完美海倫多邊形與超完美海倫多邊形上的做圖方法上，善用我們所發展的對應關係，上述的問題皆可迎刃而解。k(2αβ ,α2 ? β2,α2 + β2 ) is a popular formula in Pythagoras Theory, often proved in algebra approach among books. Nevertheless, in light of junior high students, the aforementioned algebra method is neither direct nor practical. Hence, a different thinking method is derived from geometry perspective, using the straight line concept to reinterpret Pythagoras Theory and define the geometric meanings of α andβ . In the process of logical development, a useful correlation emerges: a rational number correlates with a straight-angled triangle, and two rational numbers correlate with Heron Triangle. This correlation can be applied to all kinds of geometrical diagrams to prove the correlated homogenous solution. Ultimately, my interest lies in the diagram methods of Heron Triangle, Perfect Heron Polygon, and Super Perfect Heron Polygon in order to apply our developed correlations to solve the above mentioned problems.

目的：紫色桿菌（Chromobacterium sp.）是一種生活在土壤及水域環境的革蘭氏陰性菌，它會產生紫黑色的紫色桿菌素（Violacein），因而使菌體與培養液皆呈紫色。Violacein是一種由兩個L-色胺酸（L-tryptophan）分子所聚合成的五環化合物，已被證實具有抗菌以及抑制腫瘤細胞生長的活性。本實驗的目的在探討紫色桿菌是否會利用不同官能基的L-色胺酸，合成不同的Violacein衍生物，並分析這些Violacein衍生物的生物活性。方法：將紫色桿菌培養於液態LB培養基中，分別加入不同濃度的L-tryptophan、1-CH3-L-tryptophan與5-OH-L-tryptophan，於室溫下培養48小時，再用乙酸乙酯萃取Violacein及其衍生物，將萃取出來的紫色桿菌素，用紫外光/可見光分光光譜計和質譜儀進行分析。最後，再將這些萃取物打入斑馬魚受精卵做胚胎毒性測試，並進行試管外DNA剪切能力分析。結果：加入不同官能基的L-色胺酸所合成的產物都是紫色，且在紫外光/可見光的光譜中的最大吸收波長皆相同，質譜儀分析結果則顯示，L-tryptophan 、與5-OH-L-tryptophan的產物圖譜不同、而1-CH3-L-tryptophan的產物則無法分析。斑馬魚胚胎毒性測試結果顯示，Violaecein和1-CH3-Violacein 不會對胚胎發育造成影響，但是5-OH-Violacein則會造成胚胎發育異常。DNA 剪切能力測試也顯示，只有5-OH-Violacein具有剪切DNA的能力，其他則否。重要性：本實驗成功地利用紫色桿菌合成Violacein及其衍生物，並發現了5-OH-Violacein比Violacein 具有更高的生物活性。;Aims: Chromobacterium sp. is a Gram negative bacterium which inhabit in soil and water environments. Chromobacterium produce a purple color compound named Violacein. This colorful compound makes Chromobacterium and its culture mediumin purple color. Violacein is a five rings compound synthesized from two L-tryptophan molecules. Studies have shown that Violacein has anti-bacteria and anti-tumor activities. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether Violacein can be synthesized from different tryptophan analogues, and whether these Violacein derivatives have different bioactivities. Materials and Methods: Chromobacterium sp. was cultured in liquid medium containing different concentrations of L-tryptophan, 1-CH3-L-tryptophan, and 5-OH-L-tryptophan. After 48 hours incubation at room temperature, Violacein and its derivatives were extracted by EA, analyzed by UV/visible spectrophotometer and MS. Violacein and its derivatives were also tested for their embryo toxicity and DNA cleavage activity in vitro. Results: The compounds synthesized from different tryptophan analogues were all purple and have the same maxima absorption wave length in the UV/visible spectra. However, MS spectra of compounds synthesized from L-tryptophan and 5-OH-L-tryptophan were different. The results of zebrafish embryo toxicity tests indicated that violaecin and 1-CH3-Violacein had no effect on embryo development, but 5-OH-Violacein caused development defects. DNA cleavage tests also showed that only 5-OH-Violacein could digest DNA in vitro. Violaecin and 1-CH3-Violacein could not digest DNA. Significances: Results from this study indicate that Chromobacterium sp. can be used to synthesize Violacein derivatives from different tryptophan analogues, and revealed that 5-OH-Violacein is a higher bioactivity compound than violaecein.

This research is mainly in observation with Caenorhabditis elegans ’s genetic mutation caused via nervous system abnormal character. In the study, I the sample have been cultivated purified and add some chemical material EMS to speed up C.elegans mutation. Then based on the character to further analysis what causeof gene deal with mutation and observe the effects in heredity. The research has two stages, on the first stage of study the mainly target is to both search and purify the mutation of C.elegans. The second stage is based on the exploration of mutation’s searching and purifying. Because the certain mutation bodies aren’t easy to find out, the project is still on progress at the beginning of second stage, and we conclude some heredity special cases in preliminary of study. 這個實驗主要是觀察並針對線蟲因為基因的突變所產生的神經系統異常的變異性狀，在實驗中我先將樣品線蟲培養並純化至一定數量，並加入適當藥劑EMS造成其突變，經篩選並分析此性狀，進而找出造成其突變之基因，以及觀察此性狀對遺傳表現所造成的影響。該計畫分成兩階段，第一階段的實驗重點是在突變株的搜尋以及純化上，第二階段則是在突變基因的探討上，由於特定突變株的搜尋並非容易，所以目前計畫只進展至第二階段的遺傳實驗初期，對於其遺傳特徵與突變形式上已有了初步的分析，但尚未定位出該基因的位置。

安非他命的濫用在台灣是非常嚴重的公眾健康及社會問題。安非他命會導致一連串的行\r 為異常，包括在中腦紋狀體內釋放多巴胺及阻止多巴胺回收來增加使用者的活動力。由於安\r 非他命會對腦細胞造成傷害，本研究的目的為探討低劑量、無立即毒性之安非他命(類似於人\r 類使用習慣)於短期內是否會對老鼠大腦紋狀體內的蛋白質表現有影響。因此利用西方點墨法\r 分析施打低劑量安非他命(2 到6 mg/kg)約一星期之後，C57BL6 小鼠的大腦紋狀體中一些重\r 要蛋白質[包括腺?酸受體A2A-R、第五亞型腺?酸環化?AC5、caspase-8、PARP、NF-κB\r 及血紅素加氧?-1(HO-1)]的表現是否有改變。實驗結果顯示，低劑量安非他命處理對大部分\r 蛋白質的表現並沒有明顯的差異，但在施打安非他命老鼠之大腦紋狀體中，HO-1 有些微但明\r 顯的增加，顯示安非他命可能對腦組織產生氧化性傷害。因此長期使用安非他命對中腦紋狀\r 體是否造成傷害是值得關心及繼續探討的課題。The wide spreading use of amphetamine (AMPH) in Taiwan has become a serious\r public health and social problem. AMPH evokes a series of behavior abnormality including\r enhanced locomotor behavior by releasing dopamine and inhibiting dopamine-uptake in the\r striatum. Since AMPH is known to cause brain damage, the purpose of this study is to\r investigate the expression of several important proteins in the mouse striatum after\r treatment with low and non-toxic dosages of AMPH for a short period (mimicking the\r common usage pattern of humans). C57BL6 mice were daily IP-injected with various doses\r of AMPH (0 to 6 mg/kg) for one week. Expression levels of adenosine receptor A2A-R,\r adenyl cyclase type 5,caspase-8, PARP, NF-κB and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in the\r striatum were analyzed by Western blotting technique. Most proteins examined were not\r affected by the 1-week AMPH treatment, except HO-1. A slight but significant increase of\r HO-1 by AMPH treatment indicated that AMPH may cause oxidative damage in brain.\r These results suggest that the injury induced by long-term AMPH exposure warrants our\r further concerns and investigation.

在 Fibonacci Sequence 中，我將Cassini’s identity 轉換成圖形時發現：邊長為Fibonacci number 的正方形，分割後重新拼成長寬分別為Fibonacci number 前後兩項的矩形，會得到矩形內有縫隙（或重疊）。接著我將Cassini’s identity 的圖形推廣到Catalan’s identity 的圖形，我發現邊長一樣的正方形，拼成的矩形長會變大，寬會變小，矩形內的縫隙（或重疊）面積會以Fibonacci number 平方增長。接下來我再將圖形推廣，邊長為非Fibonacci number 的正方形分割拼成矩形時，我發現若將整數遞迴數列代入Cassini’s identity，圖形將會有規律的方式呈現，且每一種數列的縫隙（或重疊）面積會有所不同；若遞迴數列代入Catalan’s identity，縫隙（或重疊）面積還會再以Fibonacci number 平方增長。所以最後我得到一個通式：只要是遞迴數列[an]的圖形，都會滿足於： 。

本實驗主要是探究雙圈圈簡單飛機的飛行原理，歸納圈圈結構對飛行距離、升力的影響，以及氣流流經機體時發生的作用。研究結果如下：一、實際發射，歸納影響滑行距離的變因。1. 前後圈直徑比值約為0.8 時滑行距離為最大。2. 前後圈寬度比值越接近1 時，滑行距離越遠，但影響不大。3. 圈圈間隔在21cm 時，滑行距離最大。二、設置風洞，模擬飛機飛行，測量升力1. 圈圈寬度越大，升力越大。2. 升力最大值出現在圈圈仰角25 度左右，風速越快，升力越大。3. 鋁片仰角在20°時升力最大，升力與角度的關係式為 F = 5×10?7θ4 + 4×10?5θ3 ? 0.0083θ2 + 0.2615θ + 0.13744. 風速越快，升力越大，在仰角20°時升力與風速的關係大約為F = 0.4579V2 - 0.9231V +1.4772 。5. 鋁片面寬每增加1cm，升力也增加0.1513gw。前後長每增加1cm，升力即增加0.1263gw。三、設置蒸汽氣流，觀察簡單飛機的氣流場1. 蒸汽流通過圈圈時，會發生附壁現象，而且簡單飛機使氣流往下偏折，飛機得到升力。四、理論演繹︰1. 以康達效應的理論推算出升力，與實際測量得的升力約相等，驗證升力確實由康達理論造成。2. 墊高簡單飛機前圈，使得軸線提高，確實影響了飛行距離，墊高1cm 以內，飛行距離均增加了，以實際的改進證實升力確實是康達效應。This experiment mainly discusses the flying principle of the simple plane which is made up of a straw with two paper circles, one bigger than the other, stuck on both two ends of it. We first launched the simple plane actually and concluded the factors which influenced the sliding distance of the plane, including the distance between two circles, diameter and width of the two circles. Second, we set up a simple wind-tunnel and simulated the flight, in order to measure the strength of lift. Third, we set up the steam air flow and observed the change of the air current in the steam flow while flowing through the plane. The Phenomenon of Wall Enclosing happened and made the flows downward, and the plane gained the lift at the same time. Finally, we deduced that there are two sources of lift and Benoulli's law is not suitable for it. The Coanda Effect can be applied to figure out 54 percent of lift. And the current, blocked by the plane, also offers some lift. In order to prove that the Coanda Effect does effect, we padded the first circle to enlarge the angle of elevation of the axis of the two circles. It really affected the sliding distance of the plane. While the first circle is padded up within 1 cm, the sliding distance of the plane increases. Practical improvement proves that Coanda Effect accounts for the lift.

滿足之M點是否為重心之探索

滿足之M 點，我們稱之為Pi(i=1…n)的均值點。當n=3，M 恰為△P1P2P3 的重心 (G); n=4 時，M 亦為三角錐P1P2P3P4 的重心！因此不免引人遐思：滿足之M 點是否皆為其重心？ 我們藉由電腦幾何作圖軟體GSP 協助觀察，掌握了圖形變化間之不變性，再配合向量解析及推理，得以發現均值點、多邊形的重心、以至多面體的重心、及平行多邊形的一般性作法。附帶又發現：任意相鄰三頂點即可決定一平行n 邊形。並進而證實：平行四邊形為四邊形M＝G 的充要條件。但當n≧5 時，平行n 邊形只是n 邊形M＝G 的充分非必要條件！一般而言，具有對稱中心O 的n 個點所構成的圖形必可使M 與G 重合於O 點上。 The point M satisfying is called “the mean point of Pi(i=1…n)”. As n=3, M is the center of gravity (G) of the △P1P2P3. If n=4, then M is also the center of gravity of the triangular pyramid P1P2P3P4. Therefore, I began to wonder if the following assumption stands: The point M that satisfies is always a center of gravity. By using the computer software GSP (The Geometer’s Sketchpad) to observe figures. It is found that when a figure is changing there is still constancy. Furthermore, supported by the analysis based on vectors, general constructions can be established concerning the mean point, the center of gravity of polygon, the center of gravity of polyhedron, and the parallel polygon. Also, I find that any three neighboring vertexes decide a parallel polygon. And thus it is verified that the parallelogram is the sufficient and necessary condition for quadrilateral M=G. As n≧5, the parallel n-sides shape is the sufficient, not necessary condition, for n-sides shape M=G. In general, a central figure of n points having the center of symmetry O can make M and G meet on O.

This experiment mainly aims at three kinds of solution - Dextrose, Saccharose, and Fructose. By changing its temperature, density, length of tube, as well as different wave length factor of polarized light, we observe the influence of the direction of polarization by those factors. The experimental result showed as follow. The Dextrose and the Saccharose can cause the polarized light with the rotary direction of clockwise, so both are ‘dextrorotatory’. The Fructose can cause the polarized light with the direction of counterclockwise, so it is the ‘laevorotatory’. For the Dextrose, when the\r temperature is lower than 20℃, the direction of polarization has changed observably, but doesn’t have any rule. When the temperature is higher than 20℃, the direction of polarization increase slowly. For those three kinds of solution, when\r density increased, the polarization increased observably. When the polarized light passed through the solution with longer path, the direction of polarization has more change. When the wave length of the polarized light changed, the direction of polarization has been changed observably. When the wave length of the polarized light is shorter, the direction of polarization change increased.本實驗主要針對葡萄糖、蔗糖、及果糖等三種旋光性溶液，改變其溫度、濃度、容器管長、以及不同波長的偏振光等因子，觀察這些因素對偏振方向所造成的影響。實驗結果顯示：葡萄糖與蔗糖會使得偏振光的偏振方向以順時針旋轉，屬右旋性之光學異構物；果糖會使得偏振光的偏振方向以逆時針旋轉，屬左旋性之光學異構物。若溶液為葡萄糖，當溫度低於20℃時，偏振光的偏振方向會有明顯的改變，但無規則可尋；當溫度大於20℃時，偏振方向旋轉角位移則以非常緩慢的方式增加。當此三種溶液之濃度增加時，偏振光的偏振方向有明顯遞增的現象。此外，當容器長度越長（即偏振光在介質中的行程越長）時，偏振方向的改變亦越明顯。當偏振光的波長改變時，偏振光的偏振方向有明顯的變化，且當偏振光的波長越短，偏振方向的改變越大，似乎與波長呈反比，但此結果與理論值（即旋光度與波長平方成反比）仍有一些差距。

在眾多的蝴蝶中有不少是具有眼斑。傳統上認為眼斑的功能是驚嚇天敵或欺騙天敵。有關眼斑本身結構的瞭解很少。我們利用臺灣及馬祖產的蝴蝶，分別記錄圖鑑上峽蝶、眼蝶及灰蝶合計 60 種以上，以及鳳蝶幼蟲七種的眼斑特性。記錄的眼斑特性包括數目、組成的色彩結構，以及記錄眼斑在翅的腹面或背面明顯。進一步測暈孔雀峽蝶、台灣波眼蝶、蘇鐵小灰蝶等三種蝴蝶的眼斑和翅面積。眼斑在腹面及背面都有，但以腹面明顯者佔多數，而眼斑數 l 一 7 個都有，在後翅者佔多數。眼斑慕本是由數個同心圓組成，分別為輪廓、眼白、虹彩及障孔。在峽蝶及眼蝶的結構都相當完整，輪廓為褐或深褐，眼白為黃色為主，虹彩都為黑色或深褐色，障孔為白色或淡藍色。在灰蝶的眼斑較不完整，大都輪廓不清晰，眼白的黃色或橙色部份比例高，但都缺少障孔。幼蟲有眼斑成蟲不一定有。鳳蝶的幼蟲（ 8 種）都為綠色，其眼斑輪廓黑色，眼白為白色及紅色但明顯比上述成蟲的眼斑之眼白部位要小，而黑色的虹彩都很大。幼蟲的障孔為白色的細線形，我們認為這和立體形狀的幼蟲及成蟲平面翅的差異所造成，在文中也討論到水棲蝶魚的眼斑和蝴蝶眼斑的差異。眼斑和翅面積的相關分析結果變異很大，在統計上正相關及負相關都有。眼斑數目的不定及和翅面積並沒有一定關係，我們討論到蝴蝶的眼斑在不同種類有些可能有求偶生殖上的功能。這方面值得科學家大量投入研究。Quite a few species of butterflies have colorful eyespots on their wings. The main functions of these eyespots were considered to startle or deceive predators by most scientific researchers. In fact, only limited literatures dealt with the basic structure and color patterns of butterfly eyespots. The purpose of this study is to study the basic structure and color patterns of these eyespots. We measured the surface area of eyespots v.s. wings from specimens. From the color plates of Taiwan and Matsu butterfly field guide, we recorded the eyespots either on ventral or dorsal side of wings, and the color patterns for more than 60 species. \r The number of eyespots on wings varies from I to 7 among individuals we checked. Majority of eyespots were found on ventral side of wings. The basic structure of eyespots were formed by I to 3 concentric circles, i.e., outboundary, cornea, iris and pupil . Pupil was not found in certain species. The color in cornea section is yellow and in iris is black or dark brown. The contrast in these two areas is quite prominent just as the contrast showed in warning coloration of after animals. The pupil is either white of light blue. Caterpillars with eyespots were found in Papilionidae, their adult stage were without this character. We checked 8 species of caterpillars, their basic structure of eyespots were similar to other butterflies, with cornea, iris and pupil. The cornea is either red or white color, and the iris is black in colors. The ratio(iris/cornea) is much higher in caterpillar than in butterfly. The pupil is a thin thread shape instead of a tiny spot like the one in butterfly wings. We discussed the difference of pupil between juveniles and adults from the aspect of dimension structure of a subject. In the paper we also discussed the difference of eyespots between butterfly and butterfly fish in the coral reef. Base on the no significant relationship between the surface area of eyespots and wings. We suspect that butterfly eyespots may have another function, such as intersexual selection between males and females beside startling and deceiving predators.\r

隨著社會漸漸的現代化，我們需要愈來愈多的電力，然而在享用電力時，更伴隨著汗染的到來。所以討論如何有效的利用能源及探討無汗染能源，是本實驗研究的主要課題，以下即是我們的介紹。
