小強酒醉會嗨還是茫?─酒精對蟑螂行為與生理之Hormesis與其他效應的探討

Hormesis是指不同劑量具相反效應的雙相劑量反應,在藥理學、毒物學和醫學等領域,為革命性的重要概念,使科學界重新檢視劑量效應的性質與相關應用。本研究探討酒精對蟑螂運動行為與生理作用的效應,發現攝入酒精後的蟑螂,於代謝、循環及免疫反應的各項指標出現Hormesis現象,其中耗氧速率與產二氧化碳速率呈現J型,其餘指標則呈現倒U型。我們也發現酒精會使蟑螂的移動範圍及路徑縮小、速度變慢,同時引起以下生理作用:非換氣期拉長,呼吸速率下降;耗氧速率下降,呼吸商上升;心跳率下降,但心搏量增加,心輸出量上升;促進包囊作用及脂肪體觸酶活性,同時步足的反射更加顯著。本研究所測量的各種生理指標中,除了呼吸運動外,酒精引發的各種生理效應與前人所發現之警告費洛蒙的生理效應有相同趨勢,皆出現「低調與供應(Quiet & Supply)」反應,是一種面對危機的預前準備。

七星映月--都市靜水生態系連接度之模擬研究

目的:1. 以地理資訊系統分析臺北市靜水生態系的分布狀況;2. 分析靜水生態系的連接度。過程和結果:我實地踏察了臺北市區的381 個地點,在其中187 處發現224 個靜水生態系,首次統整出臺北市區靜水生態系的現況資料。靜水生態系的平均密度為0.82 個/km2,其密度與人口密度成正比。以 GIS 軟體標定這些水池,發現它們成任意或叢生分布。再以 VisualBasic 程式語言設計程式,以預測移動能力不同的濕地生物在這些靜水生態系間移動的情形。結論:由程式模擬可知,能在所紀錄地點間自由移動的濕地生物種類很少,顯示都市化對靜水生態系的隔絕效應。In a city, still water ecosystems (ponds and lakes) are divided by buildings and roads, so they are not continuous in the space. I surveyed 381 sites in Taipei City and found 224 ponds and lakes at 187 sites. The density of still water ecosystems is 0.82 per square kilometer. The density of still water ecosystems is higher in areas where more people live. I use a geographical information system software to mark the locations of these ponds. Their distribution is either random or clumped. I use Visual Basic to design a program to predict how do wetland creatures move among these sites. My program tells that very few creatures can move freely, indicating still water ecosystems in this city are quite isolated.

M&m Sequences 之研究

本專題的目的是研究以任意實數 a1 、 a2 、 a3 為起始的M&m Sequences 之穩定性質。我們主要關心的問題是:(1) 是否任給定三數a1 、 a2 、 a3 為起始的M&m 數列皆會穩定?(2) 若上述的M&m 數列穩定,則其穩定的長度與a1 、 a2 、 a3的關係為何?(3) 其穩定的值與a1 、 a2 、 a3的關係為何?我們研究的主要步驟及結果如下︰1. 當1 2 3 a 1) 為起始的M&m 數列。3. 我們證明了下列性質:(1) 若M&m 數列中前n 項所成數列的中位數為n m ,則下式成立: (2) 當存在 k > 4 , k ? N ,使得 ?1 ?2 = k k m m 成立時,則此數列穩定,且穩定長度p 滿足:min{ | 4 } ?1 ?2 = > = k k p k k 且m m ,其中p 必為奇數。(3) { n m }為單調遞增且, 5 1 ? ? ? a m n n n4. 如果x ? 41.625,則{?x,1, x}為起始的M&m 數列,其對應的數列有相同的大小次序且此M&m 數列會穩定,穩定值為41.625,且穩定長度為73。5. 我們觀察發現:如果x 1). 3. We prove the following properties: (1) If the median of the former n numbers of the M&m sequence is n m , we obtain (2) There exist k > 4 , k ? N such that ?1 ?2 = k k m m , then the sequence is stable and the stable length min{ | 4 }?1 ?2 = > = k k p k k and m m , where p must be an odd number. (3) { n m } is monotone increasing and , 5 1 ? ? ? a m n n n . 4. Suppose x ? 41.625, then the all M&m Sequences beginning with –x , 1 , x are the same, and the sequences will be stable, the stable value is 41.625 and the stable length is 73. 5. By the computer experiments, we observe that if x is any positive real number less than 41.625, the M&m Sequence starting with –x, 1, x, will be also stable but does not appear to follow any clearly discernible pattern of behavior. However, the stable lengths are much variant and exist some unknown relation with point format of x. Moreover, we have the following properties: (1)If x is a node, then the stable value is x and the stable length equals to the index of median of the node + 2; (2)Near the branch of 41.625, the stable length is almost a constant except at the edge area,the stable length of (-x,1,x) as x around branch 1 is chaos; (3)If x near the node (K= 3, 5, 7, …, 67, 69), then the stable length is l(K)+K?1 where the positive integral l(K) is determined by Prop1 (see Table 6 and 7).

正N 邊形光圈之路徑追蹤

本研究是[對於正n 邊形A1A2…An邊上一點P(含頂點),想像自定點P 朝鄰邊發出一條光線,若依逆(順)時針方向依序與每邊皆碰撞一次,經一圈而可回到P 點,則此路徑稱為「光圈」。過程試著追蹤在正n 邊形內能形成光圈的光線行進路徑及其相關問題。 本研究令,且以逆時針得光圈來討論: 1.根據[光的反射原理],探討光圈之存在性,發現除定點P 在正2m 邊形或正三角形的頂點外,其餘皆有光圈。 2.將可形成光圈的路徑圖展開成[直線路徑圖]來探討。 3.由[直線路徑圖],觀察到形成光圈的光線行進路徑,可能存在下列情況: (1)不通過正n 邊形的頂點,且產生路徑循環與不循環問題。 (2)通過正n 邊形的頂點。 4.發現正2m 邊形光圈皆為[完美光圈]。 5.發現正2m+1 邊形光圈之路徑與有理數、無理數之特質有關。即當s 值為有理數時,路徑會循環;當s 值為無理數時,路徑不循環。 The research is about [on Point P (including the angles) on the side of regular polygons A1、A2…An , imagine the light goes from Point P to the closest side, then bumps each side sequentially counterclockwise. After going a circle, it’s back to Point P. The track is called “the circle of light.” I try to trace the light track of the circle of light and other correlative questions.] In this research, we suppose,and we discuss the circle of light according counterclockwise direction:1.According to the light reflective principles, we discuss whether the circle of light exists or not. And then we discover that the circle of light really exists except when Point P is on the angles of regular triangle or regular 2m polygons. 2.Spread out the circle of light’s track to [rectilinear track.] 3.By [the picture of rectilinear track], observing there are two kinds of the circle of light’s track: (1)If the light doesn’t go through the angles of regular polygons, it can be a circulative track or a non-circulative track. (2)When the light goes through the angles, it stops. 4.We discover that all the circles of light in regular 2m polygons are [the perfect circles of light.] 5.We discover the circle of light’s track is correlative with rational numbers and irrantional numbers. When s is a rational number, the track is circulative, if s is a irrantional number, the track is not circulative.

咀嚼口香糖對於記憶力與情緒放鬆的影響

本研究採用受試者內實驗法進行設計,以2*2*2=3個因子(糖分*刺激口味*咀嚼時間),加上2次不同時間咀嚼運動與對照組,一共有11次實驗。每次實驗量測短期記憶與短期工作記憶共6種題項,並透過心律變異器、簡單的腦波偵測儀與問卷調查,瞭解咀嚼口香糖對於情緒放鬆的影響。 研究結果發現:咀嚼無糖口香糖對於數字廣度記憶有較佳的效果,反倒是咀嚼有糖薄荷口香糖時,則數字廣度記憶效果最差,甚至比單純咀嚼運動或對照組來得差。其次,在情緒放鬆上,受試者都認為咀嚼有糖薄荷口香糖,其糖分的味覺與薄荷的嗅覺有助於放鬆情緒,但透過心律變異器量測交感神經活性指數與副交感神經活性指數,反倒是增加緊張與焦慮的情緒。其次,從記憶力與心律變異結果得知-有糖分的口香糖會使得情緒較為緊繃與無法鬆懈,因此導致記憶力也跟著有降低的趨勢。但如果經過咀嚼15分鐘後,再進行記憶力量測時,其情緒較為輕鬆而記憶力也有所提升。 咀嚼口香糖對於記憶與情緒並沒有太大改變增加,因此,本研究建議如果真的有咀嚼口香糖習慣的人,可咀嚼15到20分鐘再進行相關工作,如此將有稍顯幫助工作績效。但咀嚼有糖分與刺激口味的口香糖,可能會造成反效果。

長方體內最少完全城堡數

我們試著尋找所需最小的城堡個數以看守整個a × b × c (a,b,c ? N) 的長方體。所謂城堡是一種棋子,當放置城堡的位置是(x, y, z) ,則(x, y,t)、(x,t, z)、(t, y, z) (t 是任何不超出邊界的正整數)是這個城堡可以看守的格子。我們用這些城堡來完全看守長方體,試著找出其最小值。在2005 年我們猜測了a = b = c 、a = b c 、a > b > c 的上界,而在2006 年時完成了a = b = c 、a = b c 的大部分情況的證明,少數不能解決的部份也提供了不錯的上界。目前我們在a = b = c 、a = b c 的情況幾乎完全解決,目前正在向a > b > c 的部份發展。A generalized searching method of finding the minimum number of castle which can oversee all over the rectangular box, defined as a × b× c (a,b,c ? N) , is presented. The castle here is defined as one kind of chess. The castle positioned as (x, y, z) can direct the lattice points of (x, y,t) 、(x,t, z) 、(t, y, z) (t is the positive integer and smaller than the box size). These castles we use here is to oversee the rectangular box and to help us to find the minimum number. In 2005, we got the upper bound of overseeing the rectangular box in the conditions of a = b = c、a = b c、a > b > c , while in 2006 we complete the proofs of the minimum number of castles based on the conditions of a = b = c 、a = b c . The further work we want to attain is to complete the case of a > b > c.

本研究主要的目的是在開發同時具有空氣清淨與照明的兩種燈具。其中桌燈是基於自然對流原理,利用燈泡發熱讓氣流通過燈具上方的濾網達到過濾功能,為了尋求過濾效果與照度兼顧的最佳值,本研究並提出比較因子的概念。在吊燈方面,除了運用自然對流原理之外,還更進一步利用太陽能驅動風扇,進行強制對流,強化過濾的效果,使得本研究成果更趨於完善。 由實驗結果可得知,桌燈在四星期長期測試條件之下,其過濾效果增進率分別為39.1, 40.8與 40.1%。在吊燈四週長期實驗的結果方面,螺旋與 100W 鎢絲燈泡在自然對流的過濾效果增進率分別為49.1%與 51.4%,而100W鎢絲燈強制對流方面過濾效果增進率則為60.2%。由整個研究結果可以發現,本燈具對於空氣清淨有極佳的效果,在不增加額外耗能條件之下,能增加燈具的散熱效果與延長壽命,同時又具備空氣清淨效果,對環境空氣品質具有相當的貢獻。 The purpose of this study is to develop a novel lamp with both the functions of air-cleaning and lighting. One of it is the desk light. Basing on free convection principle, it makes the air run through the filter on the top of the lamp by its heat in order to attain the aim of air cleaning. To find the optimum value of both cleaning effect and illumination, we advanced the compare factor. The other is the droplight, though it is based on the same principle, we use the solar energy as its power to drive the fan. So that the effect of the filter can be augmented and the result of this research approach perfect. According to the experimental result, in the four-week experiment with desk light, the enhanced efficiency of filter is 39.1%, 40.8% and 40.1% respectively. On the way of droplight with four-week experiment, the enhanced efficiency of filter is 49.1% and 51.4% with helix and tungsten(100W) lamp under the condition of free convection; the enhanced efficiency of filter is 60.2% with tungsten(100W) lamp under forced convection. All these results of the research shows that the novel lamp has great performance on air cleaning and much better effect of heat sink without extra consuming of energy, also the lifespan of the lamp can be extended. Furthermore, it is capable of air cleaning and contributes to the quality of environmental air.

水分子自我組裝之機制探討

Up to this time we have spent almost three years in studying condensation and water droplets. Little could we have done as compared with the almighty nature. However we are rewarded by the nature as we gradually found the secrets about electro-magneto field and water droplets: The size of water droplets turn smaller upon electro-magneto field and grow more uniformly especially upon electric field. This experiment presented here is actually the diary of the growth of water droplets in condensation, upon magnetic field and electric field. Through convection, it discusses the self assembly patterns of water droplets and peep into the uniformity both of the size and the distribution mode of water droplets. In former basic experiment, we focus on temperature and the speed of water moisture; generally speaking, higher temperature speeds up the coalescence procedure but does not affects the nucleation size of water droplets in simple plain surroundings; while speed of moisture does affects the nucleation size. As we went farther, deep into convection and found magneto-electric force did play an important role in the self assembly mechanism of water droplets. The topic is mostly concerned as we are surrounded by magneto-electric waves in today’s world. This experiment anchors the first step in discovering the uniformity of water droplets in different environment, and providing insights into the self assembly mechanism of water droplets upon electro-magneto field with nano sizes. 這是一系列關於水蒸氣冷凝為極細微小水珠的實驗。其中可以分為兩大部分; 第一部分是基礎實驗。將水蒸氣導入至潔淨的介面上(蓋玻片),觀察冷凝水珠的結構。雖然看似簡單平常,但卻有令人驚奇的發現;不同溫度的水蒸氣,其冷凝最初始的細微顆粒之尺寸是相同的 !爾後隨著溫度的升高,堆疊速率也跟著上升;以致於最後一起呈現出來的水珠大小不一,尺寸不一。 第二部分是將水蒸氣導到磁場及靜電場上,觀察其冷凝結構。這部分的實驗推翻了一般「水分子是電中性在電磁場中不受影響?」的刻板觀念 !實驗所呈現出來的冷凝水珠,不但於附加磁場中尺寸縮小又不易長大,同時還有固定的自我組成模式( Slef-assembly pattern);而且也發現在磁場中的冷凝小水珠的尺寸比電場中的小,可是電場中的小水珠則表現出較大的均勻特質。

電解與磁場的秘密.

金屬離子在磁場中的流動速率會略有改變,尤其是在強磁場中時,其影響更是顯著,即 【MHD 磁流動效應】,造成整體電解液中離子的流動,此流動比擴散速率佔優勢。再利用「磁 矩」具有向量性質,探討不同金屬離子(Na+、K+、Fe3+、Al3+、Mg2+)及MnO4 -在磁場角度 相同但強度不同的情況下;及磁場角度不同但強度相同的情況下,對電解速率的影響。 經實驗發現有以下結論: 一、由法拉第電解第一定律出發,加以實驗數據分析,可推導出一關係式: 電解速率Rρ= k ×∫〈∣H 向量∣×∣cosθ∣〉×∣E 向量∣ (k 單位:g / C˙weber˙s) 二、電解效率隨價數增高而增快。 三、較強的電解質,其對磁場的感應也越大,如果就同一族而言,往 下其活性越強,對磁場的感應也越強。 The flowing rate of Metal ion changes slightly in magnetic field. This influence is especially remarkable while the magnetic force is very strong, that’s【MHD (magneto Hydrodynamic Effect ), which gives rise to ionic flowing all over the electrolyte. This flowing rate is superior to expanding rate. Further, basing on the magnetic torque ’s vector trait, this research studies how electrolysis velocity affects different metal ions (Na+、K+、Fe3+、Al3+、Mg2+) and MnO4 - under following situations: Some results are found through the experiment. 1. Begin with Farad Electrolysis First Law, and take the experimental analysis into account, then a relative formula comes out as bellow. Electrolysis Rate Rρ= k ×∫〈∣H∣×∣cosθ∣〉×∣E∣ (k:g / C˙weber˙s) 2. Electrolysis efficiency accelerates by the increasing price amount. 3. Active electrolytes get strong response to the magnetic field. For the same group, the more active the electrolytes are, the stronger it responds to magnetic filed.

能量環

Quantum Rings are defined to be polygons with sides all of the same unit length that are connected with a fixed positive or negative angle. In the research, the number of Quantum Rings corresponding to a given number of sides and a fixed angle will be discussed. Quantum Rings could be expressed by many sequences which would involve the theory of partitions and ways to eliminate the many to one nature of the sequences in order to evaluate the upper and lower bound. Besides estimating the upper and lower bound, a lot of the qualities of the Quantum Rings under certain circumstances will be mentioned.「能量環」為許多單位長度的線段以定角首尾相接,並且最後接回原點的多邊形。本研究將要探討對於給定邊長個數與相接角度的「能量環」的個數。「能量環」可以被表示成許多種數列的形式。在數列的運算中會牽涉到許多數字分割的理論與排列組合的排除重複以求得能量環個數的上下界。除了定量的求算出上下界以外,報告中也定性的歸納出許多給予特殊條件的能量環的性質。
