為「世紀之毒」找解藥!- 探討以Pseudomonas mendocina 菌株降解污染土壤中戴奧?

本研究採自中石化安順廠戴奧辛污染場址之土壤,篩選出一株純 菌微生物(Pseudomonas mendocina NSYSU) , 其含有PCDD/Fs (Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans, PCDD/Fs)土壤於實驗室進行微生物降解試驗,結果顯示約21 天即有 明顯降解結果;本研究同時觀察到該微生物能在汞濃度達50 ppm 之 戴奧辛土壤中,仍具有相當程度之耐受度,並進一步降解戴奧辛化合 物。 我更以標準品探討菌種對於戴奧辛類化合物(Dioxin like congener) 之降解效果,成功地發現這株菌種不僅對於PCDD/Fs 有降 解能力,對於戴奧辛類化合物也有明顯之降解效果。 由研究結果,明顯看出P. mendocina 菌株為「世紀之毒」找到了 解藥,開發出以生物復育改善污染環境的一種新方法。A dioxin-degrading bacterial strain Pseudomonas mendocina NSYSU was isolated from dioxin contaminated soil by selective enrichment techniques. In our previous study, P. mendocina NSYSU was found to be able to use pentachlorophenol (PCP) as its sole carbon source and energy source and was capable of completely degrading this compound. Moreover, P. mendocina NSYSU was also able to mineralize a high concentration of PCP up to 150 mg/L. In this study, P. mendocina NSYSU was investigated for its ability to degrade polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs). Results show that P. mendocina NSYSU could grow well in media containing both PCDFs and PCDDs, and was able to degrade both compounds efficiently. In this study, isotope dilution method and a high resolution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HRGC/HRMS) technique were applied for the analyses of PCDFs and PCDDs. Investigation results reveal that significant biodegradation of octachlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (OCDD) and octachlorinated dibenzofuran (OCDF) by treating with P. mendocina NSYSU resting cells was observed. The results also indicate that this bacterial strain is able to biodegrade OCDD and OCDF effectively under anoxic conditions due to its facultative anaerobic character. No accumulation of inhibitory toxic byproducts was found in this study. These findings suggest that in situ or on-site bioremediation of dioxin-contaminated soils by using indigenous microorganisms or inoculated P. mendocina NSYSU strain would be a feasible technology for field application.

Adapted prematurity in Cuscuta campestris

平原菟絲子(Cuscuta campestris)處在不穩定或養份不足的環境中,吸器(haustorium)的生成個數會明顯減少,並加速開花結果的速率。不同於其他植物的早熟,平原菟絲子早熟時會產生自我寄生(self - parasitism),且結空穗機率明顯較低,顯示其對於不穩定環境的耐受度提高,並提升子代存活機率,稱之為適應性早熟(adapted prematurity)。相對於一般寄生,自我寄生吸器生成時間較一般寄生長,吸器大小並無顯著差異,然而吸器數量較少,且較為深入宿主。起初推論自我寄生為演化中的缺陷,這樣造成其無節制的寄生,對生存有害。但是經過長期的觀察之後,發現其生長狀況並無受到影響,而是週遭環境不穩定,所促使暫時分解自體本身的養分,以度過考驗。

蝸牛球

蝸牛球是一種科學教具,以壓克力圓柱容器為主體,在容器中加入黏滯液體及重物。在滾動時利用黏滯液體的摩擦力將容器中的重物帶到相對容器重心的後方,使重物的重力對容器產生相對於滾動方向相反的力矩,造成容器減速的現象,實驗裝置如圖1、圖2所示。本實驗想探討黏滯液體的體積、軌道傾斜角度與金屬圓柱材質、體積及重量等變因對滾動變化的影響。

Design and Implementation of a Spherical Induction Wheel Motor in Electric Vehicle

本研究提出以「球型感應馬達(Spherical Induction Motor) 」直接作為電動車球型輪胎的想法。四顆球型輪胎以三軸自由度旋轉的方式,將提供電動車更高的靈活性。 本研究聚焦在「球形感應馬達」原型機的開發。透過四個方法:等效電路理論、有限元素分析、實作與實驗,研究了球型感應馬達的四個面向:電機設計、電機實作、電機驅動與電機控制。以電機設計、電機實作證明了構想的可行性,並在建立了球型感應馬達完整的電機機械理論後,進行了電機驅動與電機控制。 最後,本研究實作出一架可運轉的球形感應馬達,並在建立完整的馬達數學模型後,以V/F控制法完成轉速與轉向的開迴路控制。本研究希望這部球型感應馬達,未來將能應用在以球型輪胎為動力裝置的電動載具上。

包埋酵母菌的幾丁球珠對含銅、鐵、鋅、鉛離子之廢水處理及應用

本實驗的目的,就是希望利用幾丁質除污的效果,再配合酵母菌所能累積金屬的能力,以酵母菌包埋於幾丁質的方法,吸附廢水中的重金屬離子。用Langmuir理論求得飽和吸附量,進而求出休眠酵母菌-幾丁質所能吸附金屬離子0.14─0.027(g/g)的數量,與活化酵母菌-幾丁質所能吸附金屬離子1.15─0.050(g/g),並比較回收效率,以應用於處理工業上工廠所排放的廢水。 筆者在偶然的機會將處理過的蟹殼幾丁質固體置於石綿心網上,竟然在數分鐘內像塑膠般熔化,探討原因竟然是石綿心網上的某些金屬鹽所造成,因此筆者希望能透過這發現,用簡單的方法製造出低去乙醯化、高強度及耐中度酸的幾丁基質,並可應用在廢水處理上。;The purpose of this experiment is to explore the effect of using chitin and yeast plat to clarify the heavy metal cation, and that yeast plat works on the accumulation. In the process, the yeast plat is embedded in chitin to absorb the metal cation, therefore, by the theory of Langmuir, the impregnate absorption of dormant yeast-plat-chitin (0.14-0.027[g/g]) can be obtained and yeast-plat-chitin (1.15-0.050[g/g]) can be activated as well. In this way, the efficiency can be compared to apply to work on the effluent in industry. By putting shell-chitin-solid on the wire gouze by chance, we found it melted like plastic in just a few minutes. Some kinds of metal salt on wire gouze cause this change. Therefore, this easy ways can be used to makelow-deamide function group become of high strength and durable under acid environment. The results obtained from this experiment can be applied for the processing of waste liquid.

Self Assembly Mechanism of Water Droplets

這是一系列關於水蒸氣冷凝為極細微水珠的實驗。其中可以歸納為三大部分,第一部分是基礎實驗,將水蒸氣導引至親水性介面上,觀察冷凝水珠的結構。雖然看似簡單平常,但是卻發現:不同溫度的水蒸氣,其冷凝最初始的細微珠粒,尺寸相同;爾後溫度高者,堆疊速率較大,以至於最後同時呈現的水珠大小不一,尺寸不同! 第二部分,是針對冷凝水珠自我組裝機制的探討。實驗是將水蒸氣導引至密度小於1的高分子溶液上,並藉由揮發性溶劑快速揮發,將水珠粒「分層保留」以便更深入了解「解構」後的水珠群聚機制。在這組實驗中得到兩張有趣的圖片: 在討論時,我是從對流機制切入,嘗試解構上面兩張圖。 第三部分的實驗,是將水蒸氣導引到磁場及靜電場上,觀察冷凝的機構。這部分呈現出來的結果,推翻了一般「水分子為電中性應該在電場與磁場中不受影響?」刻板觀念,實驗呈現水分子:不但在電磁場上不易長大同時也有固定的散佈模式(assembly pattern)。同時也觀察到:水分子在正電場形成的凝結水珠較為均勻,在負電場則表現出較大親水性特質。這部分的實驗對日後研究細胞膜上水分子通道應有助益。 I have tried to ask a famous math professor if he can create a formula describing the ordered array of water droplets. “Then, I should study Physics first!” He said. Condensation is the thing we live with, being found everywhere, passing without notice. But we never know when it dose start? By coalescence, water droplets grow bigger, but are not round again. We used the polymer film as template and designed the solution lighter than water, so the minute droplets will sink to the bottom and layer by layer. After seconds we may have multilayers of ordered array. This experiment presented here is actually the diary of the growth of water droplets through condensation, upon volatile fluid, magnetic field and electric field. Through convection, it discusses the self assembly mechanism of water droplets and peep into the uniformity of the size of water droplets. In this experiment, convection and magneto-electric force did play important roles 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 is the first step in discovering the homogeneous state of water droplets, providing insights into the self assembly mechanism of water droplets with nano sizes.

以彈性體模型評估心血管疾病之新方法初探

我們根據物理學的彈性體振動模型發現:主動脈硬化程度可由測量主動脈相對於心臟運動的延遲時間分析得知。我們除了由樣品之超音波影像分析驗證此一觀念之外,還用一自製模型進行實驗,模擬血管厚度對延遲時間的影響,實驗結果與理論相吻合,證實了彈性體模型之可靠性。在診斷方面,此方法可用目前臨床使用的心臟超音波儀直接進行測量,使得它具有方便、普遍的優點;而且可由體外的胸前超音波掃描(TTE)進行觀測,具有非侵入性、免除受測者的不適及避免副作用,此外,能定量分析、早期診斷、鑑別度高也是此方法重要的優點。According to the elastic oscillation model of physics, we found that the aorta stiffness could be obtained by measuring the delay time of the aorta relative to the cardiac motion. The idea was confirmed by an analysis of the echocardiograph images of several samples. A home-made mechanical model was also employed to simulate the effect of cardiovascular thickness. The experimental results fitted the theory very well, verifying the feasibility of the elastic oscillation model. This measurement could be carried out with the conventional echocardiography instruments, making it convenient and common. Furthermore, the delay time could be measured with TaransThoracic Echo (TTE) instead of TransEsophadeal Echo (TEE). This non-invasion can avoid patients’ discomfort and side effect during medical process. The quantitative measurement also enables that the diagnostics can be progressed in advance.

漩渦之美

我們常可以在自然界中發現漩渦的存在,但其存在的形體與性質也不盡相同,為了研究漩渦的結構與形體,筆者分析出多種會對漩渦產生影響的因素:開始放流的水而高度、放流洞口大小、有無破壞漩渦結構的阻礙、單孔落流漩渦與雙孔落流漩渦、還有流體的黏滯度對漩渦的影響, 但漩渦是一個不斷改變的流體,非常難以觀察,且自然界的漩渦也不是說出現就出現,所以必須設計一個簡易實驗器材來觀察,並用數位攝影機紀錄下來,再慢慢分析,而我們也可以在這個實驗中了解漩渦的結構,和體會到漩渦所表現出自然界的力與美的一面。‧We can always find in nature of different swirl’s forms and properties. To study the swirls, we analyzed such factors, as the beginning water level, the size of the hole, the presence of obstruction that will destroy the structure of swirls, differences between single-hole-swirls and twin-hole-swirls, and the viscosity of fluid. Because swirls change all the time, it is very difficult to observe. We designed a device .The procedure was recorded with a digital video camera and analyzed it. The study helps us understand the structure of swirls and admire the beauty of swirls.

海鱺血清濃度對海鱺鰭細胞成長的影響

本文以動物細胞培養方法探討培養基中添加海鱺血清(CS)來培養海鱺鰭細胞株(CF-2)的可行性。發現CF-2單層細胞培養在L15-10/0 (L15 添加10% FBS)、L15-5/5 (L15添加5%FBS及5%CS)、L15-2.5/7.5、L15-0/0、L15-0/1.25、L15-0/2.5、L15-0/5、L15-0/10及L15-0/20等培養基6天後,其細胞數分別為最初的4.16、10.8、12、0.97、4.9、5.64、8.14、11.36及9.72倍。細胞接種於L15-0/0、L15-0/1、L15-0/2、L15-0/4、L15-0/8及L15-0/16等培養基24小時後,其附著率則分別為23.1%、96.9%、94.8%、93%、84.5%及39.5%。 CF-2繼代後直接培養在28℃,L15-0/2培養基中,細胞附著及成長良好,5-6天後再以1對2進行繼代。目前已在L15-0/2培養基中培養12代以上,命名為CF-2cs。在1%-16%海鱺血清濃度下,其增殖能力隨濃度增加而增加。培養在pH 7.6、pH 7.3、 pH7.0及pH 6. 7 的L15-0/2培養基中發現pH7.0為其生長最適酸鹼度。CF-2cs對嘉蠟魚虹彩病毒(RSIV),文蛤呼腸病毒(HCRV)及淋巴囊腫瘤病毒(LCDV)等三種魚類病毒具有感受性。以90%L15-0/2及10%DMSO超低溫冷凍保存CF-2cs,解凍後細胞附著及生長良好並在2-3天後長成單層。此外,L15-0/2也可直接用來培養RGB及RSS兩種源自於玳瑁石斑及銀紋笛鯛的初代細胞。這些結果顯示海鱺血清可完全取代胎牛血清來培養魚類細胞。

會變色的金屬—神奇的奈米科技

本報告研究內容,是利用電化學氧化還原方法合成金、銀、銅三種奈米粒子,以及探討電流是否會影響電解合成奈米粒子,在前半部成功地利用控制電解的部份條件,如界面活性劑、以及電流值大小,而合成出金、銀、銅三種奈米粒子,利用UV-VIS的光譜分析,鑑定其三種奈米粒子不同的吸收波長,其光譜出現吸收的現象是因為金屬表面特殊的表面電漿共振吸收現象而產生的。但是在本實驗中發現在UV-VIS的光譜中,電壓值的大小對金奈米粒子吸收波長並沒有關係,這些奈米粒子在水溶液中藉由界面活性劑的包覆,而溶解的相當好。 The content of thesis focuses on using electrochemistry oxidation-reduction reaction to synthesis gold, silver, and copper nanoparticles. We confer whether current of the electrolysis is an influence for the synthesis of nanoparticles. We succeed in synthesizing nanoparticle by controlling some terms of the electrolysis, like the micelle concentration, and current value. Using UV-VIS spectrum to analyse wavelength of three kinds of nanoparticles. The special phenomenon of absorption spectra is appeared because the surface plasma resonance on the surface of metal. From the UV-Vis spectra, we didn’t find the exact relationship between the potential value and the absorption spectra of gold nanoparticles. Finally, we also obtained good results in spectra observation, which meant that these nanoparticles encapsulated with surfactants were well solved in the solution.
