高分子複合材料的性質、製作與分解

Synthesis of Polymer Material and its Decomposing Processes Because plastic cannot be decomposed naturally by itself, therefore, additives needed to be added to facile the decomposing process. Let us choose one common material: thermoformed Nylon 66. During the formation process, addition of glucose powder and monosaccharide polymerized will result in yielding the products of methyl cellulose, soluble starch and agar powder. Observe whether adding additives would allow changes to occur structurally, or would the elasticity be improved when exist in a linear state, or even it would form a better pH resistance property. According to the experiments, when Nylon 66 contains methyl cellulose, it can sustain the highest tension. Its coefficient of elasticity is 2 times as large as the original one. In terms of the data, we can also observe that when Nylon66 contains soluble starch, it has the lowest ability to sustain tension. Besides, it has the lowest coefficient of elasticity. And when Nylon 66 contains cellulose, it has the highest rate in the process of decomposing.As we look at the surface of polymers under 400 diameters, we can observe that the Nylon 66 with agar powder has some filiferous substance. But we have not confirmed what the matter is. 由於塑膠不能在自然情況下順利分解,所以我們在塑膠中添加其他成分使塑膠可以較易 分解。我們選定常見的塑膠—熱塑性的耐綸-66。在聚合物的製作過程中添加葡萄糖、澱粉、 洋菜粉末以及甲基纖維素,並觀察加入添加物的塑膠在結構上是否有變化?其塑膠在線型時 之張力是否有增強?耐酸鹼性是否有變化?由實驗結果我們可以得知含有甲基纖維素之耐綸 -66 所能承受之張力強度最高,且其彈性係數也比無添加物之耐綸-66 高出近2 倍;而含可溶 性澱粉之耐綸-66 所能承受之張力最小,且彈性係數也最低。此外,進行生物分解的實驗可發 現,含葡萄糖的耐綸-66 分解的速率最快。使用400 倍的光學顯微鏡可發現含有洋菜粉末的耐 綸-66 表面與其他耐綸-66 複合材料差異較大,值得進一步研究。

讓瓶塞隨心所欲

這是一種可在膨脹狀態及未膨脹狀態間轉換的膨脹收縮瓶塞。本設計之瓶塞包含一彈性橡膠之塞座及一剛性塑膠之旋轉控座。該瓶塞在未膨脹狀態,可將瓶塞置於平口內將瓶塞順時針方向旋轉90度使瓶塞由未膨脹狀態轉換至膨脹狀態將瓶子密封;欲開瓶時將瓶塞逆時針方向旋轉約90度使瓶塞由膨脹狀態轉換至未膨脹狀態,可輕易將瓶塞從瓶子內拉出。根據顧客之需求設計瓶塞並選定適當之塑膠材料以製作旋轉控座及適當之衛生橡膠以製作塞座,依廠商提供塑膠及衛生橡膠之特性資料做有限元素分析預測橡膠元件受撐大之變形量,進行加工與製造印證分析之結果,與預期目標有相當的差異,故製作簡易之試件進行探求塞座內縮量與瓶塞膨脹量之關係, 探求瓶塞膨脹量與瓶子所能承受的壓力之關係,進而逆向設計瓶塞之塞座內縮量。 This is a kind of bottle plug that can change at the situation of swell or unswell.The design of this bottle plug includes a rubber plug and a rigid plastic controller that can revolve around. We can put the bottle plug at the top of the bottle and rotate it 90° c.w., the bottle pug will be at the situation of swell and then seal up the bottle. If we want to open the bottle, we just rotate 90° c.c.w., and the bottle plug will be at the situation of unswell and then we can pull the bottle plug out easily. I design this bottle plug according to the need of the customers; choose the certain plastic material to make the rigid plastic controller, and the properly rubber to make the plug; analyze and predict the amount of deformation by Finite Element Method in accordance with the characteristics of rubber and plastic supplied by the factories. However, the result and the expected result are quite different. In order to solve the problem, I make an easy sample to search for the relationship between the contraction of the rubber plug and the swells of the plastic controller and also the relationship between the swells of the plastic controller and the pressure that the bottle can endures. Then I design the contraction of the rubber plug on the base of the result of the experiment I made above.

四面體體積平分面的包絡方程探討

剛開始考慮平分物件時,我們從二維的多邊形部分著手,後來發現已經有人做過相關研究,並且得到類似的結論。這個部份顯現出面積平分線與其包絡曲線間的密切關係。我們將其中的方法和結果加以歸納、改善,為了更全面地研究,我們推導出一般性的包絡方程。之後當我們推廣到三維領域時,發現四面體體積平分面與之前的結論有些相似之處,平分的情況卻也更複雜,我們將推導的結果用電腦軟體呈現出來,以便更深入地了解它。最後嘗試了相當抽象的高維積平分,結果仍具有工整的對稱性,讓我們充分領略了數學之美!When considering bisecting a subject, at first we focused our attention on 2-D case, polygons. But afterwards, we found there were already some similar studies conducted by other students, which indicated the close relation between the area-bisecting lines of a polygon and their envelope. We rearranged their methods and results, and then made further improvement. Moreover, in order to study the bisecting problem entirely, we derived the general envelope equation. Then when extending the generalization to the 3-D case, we came to the conclusion that tetrahedrons’ volume-bisecting planes is similar to that in 2-D, but the circumstances are more complex. We tried to show our result with the aid of software, hoping to understand it fully. Finally, we tried to do the case in higher dimension, which is very abstract, and the result was clear-cut symmetrical. During the studying process, we had seen “the beauty of mathematics.”

Comfortable Equipment for Pedestrians

The phenomenon of pedestrians nowadays is still found. Due to frequent walking, sometimes our legs feel tired and hard to move. This is become the basis for developing tools that are convenient for pedestrians. An easy tool for humans is needed for our activities, especially walking. The Synergy between our hands and feet provides a big and significant contribution to the appliance. Normally, the movement of our hand gets along with its motion with a different side of the foot. When the right foot step, then the left hand is swung forward, and vice versa. The tools can be developed by utilizing a variety of systems. The system includes the tools concentric wheel and axles system, spring system, and pulley system. The concentric wheel and axles system is useful in controlling the rope. Movement on the rope could activate the entire system on the appliance. Wheel that related with the hand is three times bigger than wheel that related with pulley that is applied on foot. Spring system is able to lighten the pressure of the foot with a given upward force, and able to provide downward force when the spring returned to its original position. While the pulley system on the tool used to provide mechanical advantage two times is also useful to lighten the pressure of the foot when walking. The tools can be designed with simple, and able to provide benefits to users. By trial and error, it shows that the tool is able to lighten human’s activity when they walk. The tool can be able to lighten the leg’s load by utilizing arm muscles work. Utilization of the arm muscles which helps to ease the pressure of the foot can provide more benefits. One of them is that it can strengthen the arm strength, so the tool can be used as sport equipment. Utilization of the tool can also be reserved for special people who have difficulty in walking due to an accident or birth with leg defect.

魚腥草對攝護腺癌及胰臟癌之影響

治療癌症通常以化學治療為大宗,但化療會帶來副作用,因此目前研究以溫和草藥來取代化療。在治療癌症時,癌症轉移會使病人存活率下降,因此如果找到能抑制癌症轉移的藥物,就能提高病人的存活率,而在癌症轉移機制中,癌細胞要轉移時會分泌蛋白酶,降解基底膜和細胞外間質,使癌細胞轉移出原位組織。本研究聚焦於魚腥草是否能抑制攝護腺癌細胞及胰臟癌細胞侵襲其他組織、降低基質金屬蛋白酶(matrix metalloproteinase;以下簡稱MMP)的基因量及活性及降低細胞中尿激酶型纖溶酶原激活劑(urokinase plasminogen activator ;以下簡稱uPA)表現量。根據實驗結果,魚腥草可能藉由降低MMP的基因量以抑制攝護腺癌細胞的侵襲能力及遷移能力,但抑制胰臟癌細胞MMP的活性不是藉由降低MMP的基因量,且魚腥草並不會降低兩種癌細胞的uPA表現量,但由於先前加了HCE的癌細胞轉移能力下降,因此我們認為魚腥草在不影響癌細胞的生長下,仍然可抑制兩種癌細胞的轉移能力。

A Physical Analysis of the Difference in Ungues of Insects on Types of Habitat

1. Purpose of the research While studying about insects for school club activity, we found that there are differences in several anatomical characters of the insects according their habitats. Especially, the unguis was different as whether the insect lives in water or on land. So we observed the structure of unguis of some insects by microscope, and physically analyze to relate with the habitat of each insect. 2. Procedures First, we read papers and books about insect morphology to study about insect's unguis. Then, we collected samples of Chironomus plumosus(larva), Neuronia regina(larva), and Carbula humerigera. After pretreatment of samples, we put them in the SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), observed the unguis of each insect and took pictures. 3. Data First, the larva of Chironomus plumosus has prolegs with numberless hooks that has a certain arrangement and the same angle of 90º. They also has several tiny swellings around the hook. Next, the larva of Neuronia regina has pincer-like unguis which were sharp and bend, reminding the shape of a quadratic curve. Lastly, Carbula humerigera has two large, thick pincer unguis, its form same as the of Neuronia regina. The unguis are very sharp and faced towards the land. 4. Conclusions Both the aquatic insects and the terrestrial insects have structures in unguis developed to increase precision on land. Especially, the angle of unguis were all close to 90º. In addition, aquatic insects like the larvas of Chironomus plumosus or Neuronia regina have particular characters increasing friction force according to resist the flow of water.

Geo Air

1. Purpose: The purpose of this project was to design a theoretical tempered-air system to be integrated into an existing heating system in a home equipped with an air-to-air heat pump. This was to overcome the cost and environmental challenges of heating in cold climates as well as provide an environmentally friendly air-conditioning system in the summer at little to no cost. 2. Procedure: In the winter of 2010 an underground high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe (10cm diameter, and 30.5m length) was buried 2.5m underground around the footings of a new residential project. A fan with a flow of 3.4m³/min was attached to the pipe outside, and used to push air underground through the pipe and into the house. The ambient and incoming air temperatures as well as the date and time were recorded daily using a temperature probe with an error margin of ±0.1ºC throughout the summer and winter seasons of 2011. This data was then plotted and analyzed. A number of options to best extract thermal energy for potential use for heating and cooling were examined. Design components were selected to create an air chamber for an air-to-air heat pump to increase its coefficient of performance (COP). 3. Data: Graph 1 Graph 2 Winter Graph (Graph 1): The blue line represents the outdoor ambient temperature and the orange line represents the temperature of the tempered air. These are both arranged chronologically. The grey lines represent one standard deviation on either side of the incoming temperatures. The ambient temperatures vary dramatically, while the incoming temperatures remain quite stable. The lowest recorded temperature was about -9.0ºC, at which point the temperature exiting from the underground pipe was about 10.5ºC. Summer Graph (Graph 2): With dramatically varying ambient temperatures, the temperature of the incoming air consistently stays between 11.1 and 16.2ºC. The highest recorded outdoor temperature was about 30.0ºC, while the incoming temperature at that point was about 15.5ºC. This cold air was used as air conditioning.

正多邊形三角剖分的探討

給定正n邊形,於內部區域新增對角線,使得對角線不交叉且內部區域皆為三角形,則將此圖形稱為正n邊形的一個『三角剖分』。考慮正n邊形的所有三角剖分,已知其數量為卡特蘭數Catalan(n-2)。在所有三角剖分的情形中,考慮旋轉與翻轉,將同構的情形視為相同,則將所有不同構的三角剖分總數記為Dn。本文對於正n邊形的不同構三角剖分進行研究,以三種面向進行探討,首先我們以不同構三角剖分的對稱性分類,發現其和化學式CnHn+2的同分異構物有相關性;再者,以相鄰三角形的最大數量進行分類,當相鄰三角形的最大數量為n-2、n-3、n-4與n-5時,得出不同構三角剖分的計算通式;最後,以三個相鄰頂點組成的外圍三角形進行分類,將『恰包含兩個外圍三角形的不同構三角剖分』、『圖論中的毛毛蟲圖(Caterpillar)』以及『化學結構相關的Losanitsch’s triangle』進行深入探討。

重複圖形

「重複圖形」是本篇報告研究的問題,我們利用「方程式」建立一個尋找重複圖形,並証明其個數的方法。利用此方法得出下面的結論:1.會形成lap 2 的凸多邊形只有2 種,即三角形和四邊形。(1)「lap 2 三角形」只有1 種,即等腰直角三角形。(2)「lap 2 四邊形」只有1 種,即二邊之比為1: 且內角是45°、135°的平行四邊形。2.會形成lap 3 的凸多邊形只有2 種,即三角形和四邊形。(1)「lap 3 三角形」只有1 種,即內角為30°–60°–90°的直角三角形。3.其他的lap k 三角形:(1)任意內角為30°–60°–90°的直角三角形都是lap 3k²,其中k是正整數。(2)邊長比為1:m: 的直角三角形是lap (m²+1)k²三角形,其中m、k是正整數。 To find repeated figures, we construct a method to search them with the help of algebraic equations. Here we arrive at:1. There are only two kinds of lap 2 convex polygons, triangles and quadrilaterals. (1) The only lap 2 triangle is isogonal right-angled. (2) The only lap 2 quadrilateral is the one that contains angles 45°, 90° and two neighboring sides with the ratio 1: . 2. There are also two kinds of lap 3 convex polygons, triangles and quadrilaterals. (1) The only lap 3 triangle is the one with angles 30°, 60° and 90°. 3. Other kinds of lap k triangles are listed as following: (1) A triangle with angles 30o, 60°, 90° is a lap 3k², the k is a natural number. (2) A right-angled triangle whose ratio is 1 : m : is a lap (m2+1)k², the m and the k are natural numbers.
