滾動體在旋轉圓盤上運動之軌跡探討(The motion of a rolling sphere on a rotating disk)

球體在旋轉平台上的運動分三階段:進動階段、螺線振盪階段、打滑階段。進動階段、螺線振盪階段為兩個運動模式的疊加:迴旋半徑漸增的螺旋線運動、向平台中心靠近的平移運動。當迴旋半徑漸增至滑動摩擦力的上限值,球進入打滑階段並向外甩出平台。 研究紀錄球體質心運動參數,並以接觸點準靜態理論計算及滑動-滾動摩擦模型進行數值分析,找出各種變因與運動參數間的關係。 結果發現滾動階段中鋼球作迴旋運動的頻率f球和平台旋轉頻率f盤和有正比關係,且比例值和球標準化轉動慣量δ正相關。由滾動階段過渡到滑動階段的最大迴旋半徑Rmax和f球2成反比、和δ呈負相關、和滑動摩擦係數μk成正比。滾動摩擦使球向平台中心靠近,也使迴旋半徑漸增。平台傾斜或呈錐狀時,球體的運動會向水平方向偏移。

CONTACTLESS AND NON-DESTRUCTIVE DETECTION OF CHICKEN MEAT CONTAMINATION WITH LASER SPECKLE METHOD

Harmful microorganisms in food can cause deterioration of human health, poisoning and in some cases even death. Especially fresh meat and chicken products create a suitable environment for the growth of microorganisms in terms of the nutrients it contains, water activity and pH level. For this reason, detection of microorganisms in meat products is an important issue in terms of food safety and human health. In this project, it is aimed to detect live microorganisms in meat products, especially chicken meat, in a simple, non-destructive, non-contact and fast way using laser speckle method. Laser speckle images of healthy and stale chicken meat were taken, contrast parameter and correlation analysis of the obtained patterns were made. It was observed that the contrast parameter for staled chicken meat increased by approximately 3 times compared to fresh chicken. This increase provides an understanding of the difference between contaminated chicken and fresh chicken. Speckle density changes over time in relation to the movements of living microorganisms. Thus, the correlation in laser speckle density patterns taken from contaminated tissues is disrupted. In the measurements taken with photodiode, by analyzing the change of light intensity of the speckle patterns on fresh and contaminated tissues over time, the detection of microorganisms was made easier and more precisely without the need for image processing. The proposed measurement system is a new method that detects meat contamination with laser speckle imaging. It can be developed and made portable and can be used easily in homes. Since it is a simple, non-destructive and fast method, it can be used to determine the shelf life of meat in food distribution places and markets. In addition, it has the potential to be calibrated and used for other food products other than meat products. The system developed with this study is cheap and easy to use, and the laser speckle imaging method is used in a different field other than biomedical, contributing to the literature.

菌菌有味—真菌及塔粉綠尺蛾幼蟲食草選擇之探討

本研究主要探討塔粉綠尺蛾食草選擇與其葉內真菌之關係。觀察培養四種植物(烏臼、鵝掌柴、白匏子與島榕)葉內真菌,以真菌生長率、菌絲與孢子形態辨識真菌種類。當我們以烏臼葉內間座殼菌屬(Diaporthe sp.)真菌與不同植物放在一起時,幼蟲取食原為非食草的白匏子葉片,而島榕則有嘗試啃食之現象;此外,飼養過程中我們發現取食烏臼的塔粉綠尺蛾幼蟲糞便較其他種幼蟲易長出真菌,進行幼蟲糞便與消化道真菌培養後,皆有與葉內真菌相似的菌體形態。我們推測烏臼、葉內真菌與塔粉綠尺蛾間的交互作用關係之一可能為:烏臼透過葉內真菌誘使塔粉綠尺蛾雌蛾前往產卵,經幼蟲食用葉片後所排出之糞便以作為葉內真菌傳播的媒介。

如「膠」似「漆」-台灣淡水渦蟲黏液黏性及誘導抗菌分析 Mucus Viscosity and Induced Antibacterial Analysis of Taiwanese Freshwater Planarian.

渦蟲黏液仿生應用評估,首先評估渦蟲黏液仿生材料黏著劑可行性,結果發現搖晃刺激能提高渦蟲黏液運動黏度 (5.17 mm2/s) 及承受正向應力程度 (3.25 ± 0.74 kPa)。不同收集渦蟲黏液方法,利用蛋白質電泳並以過碘酸硝酸銀染色法分析,皆可發現245 kDa醣蛋白,推測為黏液中黏性蛋白,未來將以LC-MS分析渦蟲黏液中245 kDa醣蛋白種類並推測其功能。第二部分為渦蟲黏液誘導抗菌分析,實驗發現爬行組、搖晃組及受傷組渦蟲黏液不會產生抑菌環,進一步將渦蟲置於大量環境細菌D (Staphylococcus haemolyticus) 中,一天後渦蟲自體分泌具有抗菌能力的黏液。最後進行渦蟲黏液細菌分析,發現黏液細菌編號M030 (Stenotrophomonas maltophilia) 能對環境細菌H (Staphylococcus haemolyticus) 產生抗菌能力,未來將使用API ZYM分析黏液細菌分泌酵素,與渦蟲黏液分泌酵素比較已推測其與渦蟲交互關係。

圓來這麼多變-黑白幻彩

為了解黑白間隔圓旋轉時為何出現彩色圖案?我們在不同種類的光源、不同的光源閃爍頻率、不同圓盤轉速及使用高速攝影來觀察間隔圓旋轉後的影像,尋找黑白間隔圓與出現彩色圖案之間的關連性。我們發現黑白間隔圓旋轉時出現彩色現象時,光源必須閃爍、光源必為線光譜,光源含有螢光物質,並且發現燈管內的螢光物質吸收紫外光後所釋出的白光,可使黑白間隔圓旋轉時出現彩色圖案,而LED燈泡是藉由藍光激發黃色螢光物質後發出的白光,則無法出現彩色現象。實驗進一步發現,若燈管螢光物質的某一光源在發光後至熄滅之間產生發光時間延長的遲滯現象,將會是黑白間隔圓旋轉後所出現的顏色。

Development of UV-Protection Roofing Tile from Nitrogen-doped Graphene Quantum Dots (N-GQDs) for Rubber Drying Chambers

Improved methods of processing latex into rubber sheets will improve the incomes of small rubber producers. There are two ways in which latex can be processed into rubber sheets: fumigation and solar incubation. The fumigation method is expensive and produces pollution, but solar incubation can cause dark, sticky rubber sheets due to UV radiation, which reduces their value. A low-cost and environmentally-friendly solution to this problem was investigated here. A UV-protective roofing panel made using Nitrogen-doped Graphene Quantum Dots (NGQDs) was developed and tested. N-GQDs were made using the hydrothermal process for 2 and 4 hours (T2 and T4) and the solvothermal process for 4, 6, and 8 hours (TS4, TS6, and TS8). It was found that all types of N-GQDs absorbed light in the UV range, withT4 showing the greatest absorption. T4 had the greatest Fluorescent Intensity (FL) value, emitting blue light, while for the solvothermal method TS6 had the highest FL value, emitting red light. T4 and TS6 were chosen for further testing, and were applied to a clear roofing tile. After installing the roof on the chamber, the temperature inside was higher than outside. Then we measure the UV protection efficiency of the roof which was 93.27%. The average temperature was 45℃, which is the temperature for drying rubber sheets. Due to the roof’s capability to absorb UV radiation and heat the chamber, our N-GQDs roof has a great ability to produce higher-quality rubber sheets.

Prismalla: Mist water collector

The lack of drinking water in human settlements triggers a series of problems that are linked and affect the development of humanity: health problems, lack of water security for companies, lack of jobs, insecurity, among others. We observe this problem in the communities of the municipality of Las Vigas de Ramírez, Veracruz, where there is a great problem with the water supply, although there is a high presence of mist. Faced with this situation, we undertook the task of investigating a water harvesting method that is easy to implement, operate and maintain. We investigated and analyzed the methods of mist condensation through physical barriers, finding that the polyethylene shadow mesh was the means to achieve this, because it allows the passage of the wind, it is very light, easy to manipulate and above all that it presents the phenomenon of percolation that allows water droplets of various diameters to be accommodated therein. We designed a device that allows to present a mist catchment area through a prismatic structure enabled with meshes and condensed water receivers, portable, easy to use and maintenance and very economical with a performance of 20 liters per day. To achieve our project, factors such as air humidity, dew point, wind speed and direction, height, temperatures and available spaces must be considered.

EVALUATION OF THE SURFACE TENSIO, LARVICIDAL AND ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF PLANT EXTRACTS FROM THE LEAF OF THE ARACA TO COMBAT THE PROLIFERATION OF THE Aedes aegypti MOSQUITO IN STILL WATER CONTAINERS

The Aedes aegypti mosquito is one of the main transmitters of viral diseases in countries close to the equator. This vector promotes a series of generalized endemics that are difficult to control and prevent in these regions. Furthermore, the presence of bacteria in the environment favors the proliferation of mosquito larvae, which increases the probability of Aedes aegypti reproductive success. The Araçzeiro (Psidium guineense Sw.) is a plant present throughout the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and has in its composition, especially in the leaves, several substances that can be used to solve problems. Thus, we sought to verify the activity of flavonoids and polyphenols in terms of their antibacterial potential and the performance of saponins in their larvicidal potential, as well as surfactant, in order to prevent the accommodation of the mosquito in the water at the time of egg deposition and larvae respiration. The saponins were extracted from the araçazeiro leaf using a hydroalcoholic solvent and the flavonoids/polyphenols using methanol, the latter being subsequently rotaevaporated to maintain the non-toxic nature of the extract. Through the aqueous extracts, the content of total saponins by UV-VIS spectrophotometry, surfactant activity, larvicidal activity and toxicity were determined. In relation to the ethanolic extracts, the content of polyphenols and total flavonoids by UV-VIS spectrophotometry and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), antibacterial activity and toxicity were determined. The results showed that the aqueous extract has a satisfactory amount of saponins, as well as a surfactant potential due to the formation of foam and larvicidal activity in the two highest concentrations of the extracts. Ethanol extracts showed phenolic acids, especially gallic and ellagic acid, and flavonoids, especially catechin and quercetin, and antibacterial activity in most of the worked concentrations. Both extracts (aqueous and ethanolic) showed a dominant nontoxic character, which favors their use without risk to the environment, having an alternative and sustainable potential for controlling the proliferation of the Aedes aegypti mosquito.

癌症治療新利器-奈米氧化鐵藥物磁性複合微粒之應用

溫熱化學治療(Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy, 簡稱HIPEC),為將化療藥物加熱後灌注到腹腔內殺死癌細胞,但溫熱化學治療只能在開刀時使用,治療次數有限。為達到多次的熱化療效果,本研究開發奈米氧化鐵藥物磁性複合微粒(Nano iron oxide magnetic drug complex particles, NIOMP),可利用開刀時包覆複合微粒於腹腔,術後用磁場加熱,加上微粒化療藥物釋放,達到多次溫熱化學治療。NIOMP以鐵氧化物奈米粒子為核心,海藻酸鈉為外殼體,利用電紡法將前其與氯化鈣交聯產生凝聚性微粒。數據顯示最佳製作條件為16 kv高電壓、距離4 cm、噴速5μm/s,可得直徑大小約為200~450 μm穩定性高微粒。藥物釋放實驗顯示,NIOMP於2~7小時藥物釋放速率較穩定。利用可變磁場之電磁效應加熱NIOMP中氧化鐵磁顆粒,可於30分鐘內快速升溫至43℃。細胞相容性測試結果得知,NIOMP對細胞無毒性。本研究改善HIPEC的治療限制,可多次針對腫瘤患部局部熱化學治療,未來將可改善病人存活率。
