臭氧事件日-氣象與地形對臭氧於近地大氣層之生成與傳輸影響

2001、2002 年監測資料被用以探討風場、時間、地形對臭氧傳輸影響。完成沿海地區與盆地內各二次採樣分析,探討各污染物與風場之垂直變化,及地面臭氧分布與風場變化。結果顯示各月份與全年之日間,其相對濕度與O3 相關度最高,日照次之。提高濕度,最能抑制[O3]。夜間NO 與O3 的相關度最高,濕度次之。臭氧事件日時:(1).11:00 即可產生高臭氧,(2).沿海地區在臭氧事件日仍保持低[O3], (3).盆地效應改變風場,使近山地區[O3]居高不下,(4).因處O3 不斷被吹入,沿海地區傍晚時之[O3]下降速度減緩。臭氧事件日之O3 生成速率R 與消失速率常數L 被求出,其中14:00 後之R 與L 值均由正值轉負值,顯示大氣反應型式明顯轉變。R 與L 值在14:00∼15:00 間最小,係因O3 反應生成光化學煙霧所致。16:00 後另一低R 與L 值,則可能導因O3 與微粒或水份反應。分析結果顯示:(1).污染物會隨高程而略增,最高濃度在300∼500 m 處,(2).各高程大氣均可分析出73 種主要HC,其隨高度之分布被繪出與探討,(3).低層大氣會有較多低分子量HC,而高層大氣則有較多高分子量HC。結果亦顯示: (1).盆地內[O3]、[NO]與[NO2]不僅較沿海地區高,且於各高程之變動亦較大,(2).沿海地區THC、烷、烯類均較高,且隨高程增加而增高,但在盆地內則相反,(3).二地區各高程之鹵化物、芳香族、氧化物與其他有機物之平均濃度相近,但沿海地區之濃度變動較大。探討O3 之二傳輸現象獲知:(1).風吹向盆地內時,[O3]隨風向遞增,R 與L 會由12:00 之正值,轉為14:00 之負值;(2).風由盆地內外吹時,[O3] 隨風向遞減,R 與L 值提前於12:00 即為–202.561 與–1.621,但14:00 時R 與L 值增大為–76.411 與0.244, (3).風向並非決定[O3]的主要因素,地形與環境因素才是。實驗結果證實:(1).不同HC 會影響O3 之生成與消失,(2).改變[NO]o 對[O3]影響不大,但高[NO]會使得[O3]下降略緩,(3).降低HC 與[NOx]雖可使 [O3]略降,但提高濕度最能抑制[O3],(4).在O3 的衰減量上,[O3]隨濕度增加而快速降低,但衰減率則隨[O3]o 的增加而降低。一個臭氧之統計模式被建立,臭氧與水反應速率常數與速率式也被求出。 The monitoring data were used to investigate the effect of surface wind, time, and terrain on the transformation of ozone. The sampling and the analysis in the coastal and in Taichung basin were completed. The vertical distribution of O3, NOX and HC and the different altitude wind were investigated. The contour of O3 and surface wind with 3D map were plotted. The results show that the correlation behaves relativity of relative humidity with ozone is the best, and solar radiation is the next. Enhancing environmental moisture can efficiently decrease ozone concentration. In each ozone event day are: (1) the high [O3] always starts from 11:00, (2) the ozone concentration on the coastal is always low due to the high humidity, (3) the high [O3] in the east of the basin is due to the basin effect which causes changes the surface wind, and (4) in the evening, the descend rate of [O3] in the coastal area is lower because ozone blows into the coastal area. The formation rate (R) and disappear rate constant (L) of the ozone event day were obtained. The values of R and L change from plus to minus before 14:00. The values of R and L are lower at 14:00∼15:00 due to the photochemical smog formation. And another lower R and L value before 16:00 may be due to ozone react with particle or water. The results of analysis indicate that: (1) the concentration increases with increasing altitude, and the maximum is at 300∼500 m height, (2) 73 kinds of hydrocarbons were identified, and the concentration variation with altitude was also investigated, and (3) most of low molecular weight HC are at lower altitude, otherwise high molecular weight HC are at higher altitude. The results also show that: (1) [O3], [NO], and [NO2] on the basin are not only lower than on the coastal, but also their variability of concentration are big, (2) THC, paraffins, and olefins on the coastal are higher than on the basin, and the concentrations increase with increasing altitude on the coastal, but on the basin is decreasing, (3) the average concentrations of halides, aromatics, oxides, and others are similar on both area, but concentration variability on the coastal is obvious. Two types of O3 transformation was investigated, the phenomenon indicts that: (1) when wind blew into the basin, [O3] increased with wind direction. The value of R and L change from positive (12:00) to negative (14:00); (2) when wind blew out of the basin, [O3] decreased with wind direction. The more small value of R (−202.561) and L (−1.621) appeared at 12:00 earlier. But the value of R and L will become bigger to –76.411 and 0.244; (3) ozone concentration does not just dependent on wind direction., topography and surrounding conditionsa are more important effect. The experimental results show that: (1) ozone formation or disappearance depends on different HC, (2) the effect 2 of [NO]o is small for ozone photochemical reaction, but [O3] decreases with increasing [NO], (3) the descend rate of O3 depends on high humidity more than different kinds of HC or [NO], and (4) the descend amount of ozone increases with increasing humidity strongly, and the descend rate of ozone decreases with enhancing [O3]o. A statistical model was developed. The reaction rate and rate constant of ozone reaction with water were also obtained.

聚球藻 RF 一 1 品系生物時鐘之特性

我們成功的用溶氣計偵測到了聚球藻 RF-1 在 28℃下光合作用的概日韻律。和傳統的研究方法比起來,這個方法具有連續偵測的優點,減少因不斷取樣所造成的影響,此實驗可觀察到聚球藻 RF-1 溶氣量之變化圖與一般藻類(如單殼縫藻)不同.在光 /暗條件下 RF-1 之溶氣量的增加與減少均呈週期性變化,而且此變化現象在進入連續照光後仍然可以維持兩個循環以上,這些結果顯示以溶氣計連續偵測聚球藻 RF -1之概日韻律是可行的,而且所得到的變化圖形遠比傳統方法(於不同時間取樣)所得者自然。本實驗同時發現含聚球藻之培養液的溫度,在進入黑暗週期時會有明顯的上升,由於其變化程度比其他藻類明顯,如加以探討應有助於對此藻以及其韻律特性之瞭解。We successfully detected the photosynthesis circadian rhythm of the prokaryote Synechococcus RF-1 under 28℃ by a DO (Dissolved-Oxygen) meter. The advantage of this method, comparing with the traditional methods, is that it can detect signals continuously, reduce the influence of discrete sampling. The DO curves of the Synechococcus RF-1 are different from that of other algae. Under Light/Dark conditions, the DO values of RF-i increased and decreased periodically. The periodic phenomena progressed over two cycles under constant lighting conditions. These results revealed the feasibility of using DO meter to continuous detect the circadian rhythm of the Synechococcus RF-1 The detected DO curves looked more natural than those obtained in the traditional discrete-sampling method. We also found that the temperature of the culture increased in dark cycle. Since the variation is clearer than that of other algae, further investigation will benefit the understanding of the Synechcoccus RF-i and its circadian rhythm.

空間震盪與擴散

筆者將K?Cr?O?置於明膠溶液中煮沸,加入AgNO?水溶液,使之造成空間震盪反應。產生Liesegang ring。並且在研究空間震盪的過程中,筆者在研究過程中同時發展出一個程式,可以完成空間震盪實驗完成之後,由其震盪條紋的時空關係,得知ksp與擴散係數。或者可以在已知ksp和擴散係數的條件之下,預測出空間震盪實驗完成時的情形。We put K?Cr?O? into glutin, boiling it. After it concretizes, add AgNO? aqua into the glutin of K?Cr?O?. It is made to be space oscillation reaction with the Liesegang rings. And when we research for the process of space oscillation, we develop a program which can know the Ksp or diffusing coefficient after finising an experiment in Lablratory. Or we can predict the statement after the experiment on the condition of the Ksp and diffusing coefficient.

多重電極並聯情況下交、直流電解水的比較研究

The temperature of the water was commonly higher and both of electrodes were oxidized during electrolysis by using alternating current, but the above happenings were only found at the positive electrode by using direct current. It can be explained by the principle of the microwave stove. The exchange of the current causes the water molecules to release heat. The strength and weakness of electrolytes, the length and width of the electrodes, and the frequency of the alternating current can affect the rate of electrolysis of water. Commonly speaking, the stronger the electrolyte is, the faster the rate of electrolysis will be. NaOH and HNO3 are strong electrolytes, but the amount of the gas is zero during electrolysis by using alternating current. Maybe both of electrolytes react with stainless-steel electrodes to form some kinds of protective layers to affect the conduction of current. When copper bars, carbon bars, and iron nails are used as electrodes, either the alternating current or direct current is used, the amount of the gas is very small. Maybe these electrodes react with oxygen produced during electrolysis to form oxidized layers to block the conduction of current. Long and wide electrodes produce more amount of the gas. The amount of the gas increases when the frequency of the alternating current increases. The longer the distance between electrodes is, the smaller the amount of the gas will be. The smaller the angle between electrodes is, the smaller the amount of the gas will be, too. When the number of multiple electrodes in parallel increases, the total amount of the gas almost increases. The amount of the gas is smaller at the farther electrode. The amount of the gas at the electrode at the same distance becomes smaller when the number of multiple electrodes in parallel increases. At the same voltage, the effective current of the alternating current is about 0.707 of that of direct current. So we can predict that the total amount of the gas elect rolyzed by alternating current must be about 0.707 of the total amount of the gas electrolyzed by direct current. When we used stainless-steel electrodes and the electrolyte- H2SO4, we found the ratio was about 0.4286. Maybe the system of the electrolysis of water doesn’t obey the ideal linear system of Ohm’s Law and some part of electrical energy is wasted by increasing the temperature of the water and the oxidization of electrodes. 交流電解普遍水溫較高且兩極都有被氧化現象,直流電解則只有正極有上述現象,可能是交流電有類似微波爐的原理,電流交替時造成水分子震盪發熱。電解質強弱、電極種類、電極長短粗細、交流電頻率會影響電解水速率:強電解質較快,但NaOH 、KNO3 雖是強電解質,在交流電解時,氣體產生量幾乎是零,這可能是他們與不銹鋼電極反應形成某種保護層而影響導電;以銅棒、碳棒、鐵釘為電極時,不管是交流電或直流電,氣體體積都很小,這可能是這些電極和產生的氧氣反應,形成氧化層阻礙了導電;長的和粗的電極氣體產生量較多;交流電頻率越大,則電解所產生的氣體量也隨之增加;電極之間的距離越大兩極的氣體體積越小;兩電極之間的角度越小,兩極的氣體體積越少;多重電極並聯的個數越多,總氣體體積約略越大,距離越遠的氣體體積越小,同距離的氣體體積隨並聯的個數越多氣體體積越小。在相同電壓下,交流電輸出的均方根電壓(電流)為直流電電壓(電流)的0.707 倍(1/√2),所以推測交、直電解水的氣體總體積比值也應為0.707,但我們以不銹鋼為電極、H2SO4 為電解液下比值為0.4286,這可能是本電解水系統並非為遵守歐姆定律的理想線性系統,且電解水時部分電能被消耗在水溫的升高及電極的氧化上。

強電場下DNA穿透細胞膜的蒙地卡羅電腦模擬

去年暑假,我們從Newton雜誌得知,布洛貝爾博士(Dr. Gunter Blobel)由於發現了蛋白質如何在細胞之間運送,增進了人們對遺傳性疾病的了解,因而榮獲1999年的諾貝爾醫學獎。同為高分子鏈的DNA,在基因遺傳工程中常被用來在強電場的情況下穿破細胞膜,以進行基因的改造,其穿的物理機制又為何?在一場演講中,我們知道鍵振盪模型(bond-fluctuation model)可用來模擬高分子系統,因此我們想以之模擬DNA在強電場下穿透細胞膜的行為。

一些Moire patterns 的數學性質研究

Moire 為法文,其英譯為watered, 是古代織布技術的一種應用;將印有規律條?的透明薄片重疊時,稍微移動或轉動其中的一片,會形成極大的圖形變化,稱為moire pattern本作品針對三個moire pattern 的數學式加以推導:(一)、兩張透明片各印有等間隔平行線,轉動其中一片使兩線的夾角θ,亮紋垂直距離和暗?垂直距離的比值為tanθ/2tanθ 。(二)、兩張透明片各印有輻射線,重疊後行成圓系,可由代數或幾何加以證明,利用三角函數可推導出此圓系方程式為:x2+{y-rtan[π/2-(θ-?)]}2)]}={rsec[π/2-(θ-?)]}2)]}\r \r (三)、透明片A 印有等間隔平行線,B 印有符合高斯曲線的平行線,AB 重疊時,形成一系列的高斯曲線,AB 的夾角減少時,會增大曲線的曲率,我們進一步討論曲線的曲率和平行線斜率的關係。Moire is the French word “watered” and refers to an ancient technique employed in cloth making. The moire occurs whenever two or more transparent sheets with periodic strips on them are superposed. The characteristic of moire patterns is the fact that a slight shift of sheets will create dramatic alternations in the observed patterns. In the present report, We derive the equations of three different moire patterns. First of all, take a sheet with equal spaced straight lines and placed it on top of another identical sheet. They are made to intersect and form an angle of θ. As the angle changes slightly, it produces huge changes in the spacing of moire fringes. We can derive a formula related to the interfringe distance. The ratio of bright fringes and dark fringes is tanθ/2tanθ.Secondly, two transparent sheets with radial lines on them are overlapped, forming a pattern similar to the lines of force between point charges. We can find that the pattern is a series of circle by means of algebraic and geometric proofs. And proven by trigonometric functions, we canconclude that they satisfy the equation :x2+{y-rtan[π/2-(θ-?)]}2)]}={rsec[π/2-(θ-?)]}2)]}\r Thirdly, a set of lines of equal spacing is overlapped with a second set of lines whose spacing are derived from a Gaussian curve. A series of Gaussian curves is reproduced in a moire pattern. Reducing the angle of intersection between the two figures steepen the curvature. We discussed the relation between the curvature and the slope of inclined lines.

以數位像素分析法探討兩棲類變色行為之研究

本研究是以數位科技改良生物實驗上的傳統比色法,並探討中國樹蟾及台北樹蛙的變色行為。有些兩棲類有變色行為,這是眾所皆知的現象,過去一向採用比色法判斷生物體的體色變化;然而,以人眼去測定色差,會有相當大的主觀誤差。本研究及是探討以數位科技量化並比較實驗對象的變色情形。在研究過程中,用電腦量化數位相機所拍攝的影像,以像素的方式呈現出來,得以取的準確且客觀的實驗數據,並加以解析,也經由此一實驗方式,交叉比較中國樹蟾及台北樹蛙在不同環境和不同時間下的變色情形。結果顯示:樹蛙變色和環境顏色及時間有密切關係,且在短時間內以數位量化的方式解析其變色行為的方法極為可行。The purpose of this study is to investigate the color variation behavior of tree frogs using an image processing technology. It is known that some of the amphibians have the ability to change their skin color under different circumstances. In the past, a conventional “color comparison” method was frequently used whenever it comes to analyzing the color variation of organisms. However, it is realized that evaluation of color difference by human eyes is extremely unreliable. An advanced image processing technology is thus suggested to quantify the variation of skin color of tree frogs under different conditions in this experiment. Accurate quantification can be determined from the pixel number of exhibited digital images during the experiment. The color variation of different species of frogs (Hyla chinensis & Rhacophorus taipeianus) is also compared under different parameters. It is found that the color variation of tree frogs is closely related to the color of back ground as well as time. The proposed digital quantification technique has been successfully demonstrated to be an effective method for analyzing the color variation of frogs within a very short time.

台海的冬季訪客-鯔魚洄游的研究

每年一到冬季,常常會看到新聞報導有關烏魚洄游的消息。往往在當季讓漁民有可觀的收穫。恰巧國三的地球科學課時,第四章「地球上的水」有一小段提到:「冬季時台灣海峽由於東北季風吹送,中國沿海的海流向南流至澎湖群島附近,使台灣西南海域的水溫降低,正適合烏魚習性,因此每年在冬至前後左右,大量烏魚為台灣的漁民帶來可觀的魚獲。」為什麼冬季時台灣海峽會因東北季風吹送,中國沿海的海流會南流至澎湖群島附近?台灣酉南海域水溫降低,範圍有多廣?台灣的東南海域呢?烏魚有何習性?適合的海域水溫為何?除了水溫使大量烏魚洄游至台灣西南海域外,是否還有其他的因素?.....經過老師的鼓勵和指導後,我決定把烏魚洄游的情形整理出來並試著找出疑點的答案。

台灣和東亞地區的氣候變遷

由人類活動造成的溫室效應可能導致地球溫度升高,聖嬰現象加劇等現象與災害,本文利用個氣候中心發展出的模式,推估台灣和東亞地區未來氣候變遷的情況,我們發現當大氣中的二氧化碳濃度增加為現在的1.9倍時,台灣地區的年平均溫度將升高0.85-2.50度C而東亞地區將會升高1.46-4.07度C,在同條件下個模式的平均推估量也顯示,台灣地區將每天增加0.10公厘的降水,而東亞地區每天將增加0.08公哩,我們希望這個研究結果可以做為其他相關研究的基礎,使大家提早因應未來氣候變遷所可能引發的種種變化;Greenhouse effect, incurred mainly by human activities may result in lots of phenomenon and damages such as the increasing of the world's average temperature and he aggravation f the "ElNino" effect. In this research, we simulate future metrological values by employing several simulation modes developed by different climate centers and predict future climate changes in Taiwan and East Asia area. We found that when the concentration of carbon dioxide exceeds 1.9 times than current value, the estimated range of the increased year-average temperature are0.85-2.5℃ and 1.46-4.07℃ for Taiwan and East Asia, respectively. Under the same condition, the ensemble mean reveals that the precipitation raises will be 0.1 and 0.08mm per day, for Taiwan and East Asia respectively. We hope our work can be the foundation of other related researches, and all the researches together can help for coping with possible damages caused by future climate changes.
