Most football managers are not aware of the need for analysis of soccer data, which is one of the dynamic sports. In this study, we developed a statistical model with performance indicators and score indicators of individual soccer player based on various event data including dynamic features such as goal, assist, pass, etc. In this study, the correlation between the dependent variables and the explanatory variables, and each explanatory variable was confirmed through the correlation analysis to solve the problem of multiple communicability from the regression model and to analyze the statistically significant preliminary model. In addition, we analyzed the correlation between individual rating of the players and the data recorded in the soccer games, and found that there has been a problem with the rating of the soccer players evaluated by the reporters and the soccer statistics site. To solve this problem, we developed a model that best fit the performance indicators of individual soccer player using the linear regression model and the beta regression model. The performance index model of the athletes was developed by comparing the R-squared value and the mean absolute percentage error of two models, the linear regression model and the beta regression model, and found out the beta regression model is better model to use. By using the estimated regression coefficients of the regression model we made new PI model. Score Index, which is the attractive point of soccer, was developed by comparing Poisson regression model and negative binomial regression model based on AIC value, and the one using negative binomial regression model was found to be better. Through the model developed by this study, it is possible to collect the event data recorded by individual athletes for each soccer game, and obtain the PI & SI index which are the athlete performance index models. This allows us to evaluate each team's players objectively, analyze the team's deficiencies, and provide tools to find players, who can fill in the missing positions of the teams. This study can also be utilized to grasp the performance of athlete in real time by simulating the resultative model.

Immunoglobulin G is a glycoprotein structured molecule that is produced by the immune system and protects organism from harmful effects of antigens. Ig G amount in the blood plasma is an appropriate indicator of; infection, cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimer and other autoimmune diseases. Besides, purification of Ig G used in the treatment of these diseases from naturel sources is carried out at high costs on the World market. It is hard to obtain Ig G in high amounts and without any decomposes, that’s why it is important to develop new systems that will help to recognize and purify Ig G antibody. In this project, my purpose was; recognizing Ig G antibody with efficient, high amounted, fast, easily, with less toxicity, economically and purifying Ig G in high ratios from its natural sources. For this purpose p(HEMA-EDMA) membranes are synthesized with free radical photo polymerization method and characterized according to SEM images, swelling behaviors FTIR analysis and elemental analysis. In order to adsorb Ig G to polymeric membranes; polymeric membranes are activated with silanization agent (IMEO) and derivatized with Con A which is a lectin affinity ligand. In the SEM results it is examined that membranes are in spherical structures. Highest swelling value is determined as 224.8%.Binding of IMEO was demonstrated with FTIR and Elemental Analysis. Optimum conditions for Ig G adsorption to membranes are; 1.5 mg/ml initial Ig G concentration, 30 minutes of adsorption time, pH 4 citrate buffer 37 0C and without any different ion strength. Optimum adsorption capacity is determined as 253.8 mg/cm2 and it is also determined that this value is 7 times higher than nonspecific Ig G adsorption to p(HEMA-EDMA) membranes. Ig G adsorption-desorption cycles (5 times) proved that product is reusable without losing its adsorption capacity. According to the electrophoresis, Ig G could be desorbed in pure form without any denaturation to its structure.

Fluorine has a big influence on physical, chemical and biological properties of organic structures. Organofluorine compounds are widely used in modern medical chemistry to develop new drugs. Insertion of fluorine atom into organic molecules can improve their reactivity in biological systems, increase their metabolic stability, lipophilicity and permeability through membranes. As a consequence, in recent years, the percentage of drugs containing one or more fluorine atoms has increased rapidly up to 40%. The fluoroallylic fragment is also able to change properties of bioactive molecules. Its introduction into such structures as inhibitors of histonedeacetylase, inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinase, asparagine, glutamine, etc. increases their biological activity and electronic properties. We propose a new method for the synthesis of functionalized fluoroalkenes, based on the generation of fluoroallyl nucleophiles from silyl- and boronyl-substituted fluorocyclopropanes and their further usage in the allylation of carbonyl compounds or their derivatives. Due to the fact that the cyclopropanation of alkenyl boronates is not possible under conditions of alkaline dehydrohalogenation of dibromofluoromethane, we have developed a new method for the preparation of silyl- and boronyl-substituted cyclopropanes, which consist of carbene cyclopropanation of multiple C=C bonds by sodium dibromofluoroacetate catalyzed by (IPr)AgCl. The new method is effective for the cyclopropanation of not only boronyl- and silyl-substituted olefins, but also for low-reactivity alkenes, such as monoalkyl substituted alkenes, allyl alcohol ethers and α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. The conditions for isomerization of silyl- and boronyl-substituted fluorohalocyclopropanes in the presence of catalytic amounts of copper (I) bromide in acetonitrile was selected. It was shown that the regioselectivity of the process is determined by the thermodynamic control. Thus, the formation of fluorovinylsilanes or fluorovinylboranes in the isomerization of α-silyl- or α-boronyl-gem-bromofluorophenylcyclopropanes and fluoroallylsilanes upon isomerization of β-silyl-gem-bromofluorophenylcyclopropanes was observed. Thus, new types of fluorinated reagents were obtained that are not previously described in the literature (...)

新聞報導指出，澆灌牛奶的植株果實更加香甜，成為農產品銷售新噱頭。實地試驗發現番茄植株澆灌牛奶後枯黃葉子數量減少，更進一步發現澆灌牛奶之阿拉伯芥植株抗菌能力明顯提升，而牛奶中的脯胺酸(proline)應是協助抗菌的物質。在抗菌機制方面，牛奶和脯胺酸都能使氣孔在病原體分泌effector 之後再度打開的程度降低，並且使胼胝質(Callose)累積量上升，而分生方面也偵測到乙烯合成相關基因與模式免疫反應(PTI)相關基因(PR1, CYP81F2, FRK1, MKK1)表現量上升，顯示更多未知由脯胺酸促進免疫反應的可能。未來我們期待能夠找出更加廣泛深入由proline影響之免疫反應途徑，並對高經濟作物之抗病有所貢獻。

We were very curious about whether the aircraft will suffer lightning damages during flight, so we tried to search the answer on the internet. According to the searching results, we realized that during flight departure, passenger planes can suffer lightning damage. As a result, there will be lightning strike points, which needs immediate solutions for safety concerns. Besides, we found out that the exterior aircraft components, such as aircraft body, wings, tail, turbine engine and other areas, are vulnerable to corrosion, which also needs immediate solutions. Luckily, we came across a chance to chat with the engineer who works in the airport. Through that meeting, we knew that the maintenance of the aircraft is very important. However, the maintenance of the components depends on professional technicians, weather, the surrounding noise level, and other environmental effects. As a result, we think that it is initial for us to develop a device that can automatically complete the missions of aircraft maintenance. Below are two objectives that we need to complete: 1. Complete a non-destructive testing for aircraft damage, including corrosion and lightning strike points. Assessment areas include: Aircraft body, airplane wings, tail of the aircraft and the turbine engine 2. Engage in scanning results to analyze and predict for flight readiness. The collected results will proceed to the aviation company for inspection and maintenance. Based on these two objectives, we designed an automatic platform for aircraft maintenance. Below are four innovations of this platform: 1. we developed a method to replace the current stage based on the manual operation of the aircraft maintenance, the use of AGV (Automated guided vehicle) and the robotic arm combination. 2. Design a modular platform based on this method, including telescopic four-wheel independent rotating chassis and locking mechanism, scissors lifting mechanism, double sided synchronous belt forward detection telescopic mechanism, etc. The platform can shrink at the minimum height of A320, convenient access to the machine abdomen. 3. The positioning algorithm of the platform relative to the aircraft is proposed.

Nowadays, the most of waste materials are incinerated and generated the toxic gases in 日本. On the other hand, the Hydrogen gas (H2) has attracted attention as clean energy due to no emissions of toxic gases. In this work, we investigated that the new hydrogen evolution system using waste materials, such as aluminum (Al) foil and lime desiccant, and also investigated their reaction mechanism. The grinded desiccant was added to Erlenmeyer flask containing 300 mL of water. After dissolution the desiccant, the Al foil was added to the solution to begin the reaction. Generated gas was determined by water displacement method. The gas components are identified by gas chromatography. We found that the waste material reaction combined with waste lime desiccant and Al foil could be used for one of the hydrogen evolution system. This reaction is depended on solubility of lime desiccant, thus mean solubility of CaO in water. The Al foil is reacted with the desiccant more than 20 times of reaction stoichiometry. The calcium ion or calcium complex ions are involved with the excess reaction of Al foil.

本研究主要針對造成輕微腦震盪 (Mild Traumatic Brian Injury, mTBI) 的現象及其物理量進行研究，以封閉式頭部工程旋轉加速度的撞擊模型 (Closed Head Impact Model of Engineered Rotational Acceleration, CHIMERA) 為基礎，結合目前常用於頭部碰撞量測的腦部受傷標準 (Head Injury Criterion, HIC)，實現一套由加速度感應器和微處理機組成的可穿戴式輕微腦震盪警示系統。本研究利用此警示系統進行舞蹈和刺激性遊樂設施的實測，探討生活中容易被忽視卻對腦部造成傷害之危險動作。而研究中更提出多重衝擊模擬器的實現方法，此模擬器改善CHIMERA僅單次撞擊工程問題，並結合特徵檢測 (Feature Clarification) 及互相關 (Cross-Correlation) 的定性分析，提供更多元且更符合真實情況的資料，以達到輕微腦震盪警示之功用。最後再根據實驗結果提出警訊，以降低在日常生活中輕微腦震盪發生率。

For a unique marine bird, so magnificent and accessible to the public, the Australasian Gannet (Morus serrator) colony found at Cape Kidnappers, 紐西蘭, significantly lacks research. Knowledge of gannet behaviour and how humans could best sustain a relationship with them remains unstudied. M. serrator are colonial monogamous breeders and produce a single chick each breeding season (Ismar, S.M.H. 2013). With the same mate over breeding seasons, pairs work cooperatively sharing the energy input into a single chick. Such parental care leads to highly territorial behaviour (McMeekan, C. P. & Wodzicki, K. A. 1946). This suggests more dominant gannets would claim larger territories to have a greater distance between nests of other birds, to increase the survival of their offspring. With a land-based colony this means the gannets are at risk from land and airborne predators, suggesting more dominant birds will claim territories in the central area as it offers greater safety from predator pressures (Minias, P. 2014). It was hypothesised that birds in the centre will have a greater distance between their nests and have a smaller height compared to those around the periphery of the Plateau Colony. The distances between nests and the heights of nests were recorded in the centre and around the periphery of the colony to determine if there was a correlation between the variables. It was found that centre nests had a greater distance between them and were of a smaller nest height when compared to those around the periphery. Anthropogenic influences from tourism and conservation has the potential to change the evolutionary trajectory of managed populations. This colony is protected by predator control programs. Altering this significant selection pressure has the potential to change the nesting behaviour of this species. Monitoring annual nesting distribution patterns and colony numbers over time, may enable informed development of more sustainable ecotourism and protection of the colony. This investigation provides baseline data to support further research on this colony.

這份研究所探討的主題源自於1976年USAMO第一大題：將一4×7矩形方格表的每格塗色黑色或白色，欲使所有能構成矩形頂點的四個方格皆不全為同色。試證明其塗色必定失敗、或給出滿足的塗色方式。此研究從上述題目延伸，增加可填入的顏色數量、改變方格表的長寬，甚至將方格表改為三角格子表。研究過程主要運用鴿籠原理、組合數量之計算及柯西不等式來分析。我們已幾乎完整討論完矩形方格表中填入2色、3色，及三角格子表中填入2色的所有情況；並且對於矩形方格表，我們找到了一條判別式，可以判斷一般化的某情況下塗色是否必定失敗，但有部分必定塗色失敗的情況無法由此判別式判斷，需藉由其他方式討論。此外，我們也嘗試從滿足的塗色方式中找尋規律並建立構造的規則。

Detection of harmful chemicals used in industrial complexes is crucial in order to create a safer environment for the workers. Presently, most chemical detectors used in workplaces are expensive, inefficient, and cumbersome. In order to address these deficiencies, a novel sensor was fabricated to produce a unique spectroscopic fingerprint for various toxic chemicals. The sensor was fabricated by depositing several layers of silica spheres (diameter ~250 nm) on a glass substrate using evaporation-based self assembly. As the spheres assemble to form a photonic crystal, they also create void (i.e., air) spaces in between them. Once the spheres assemble as a photonic crystal, a spectrometer was used to monitor the reflectivity. The spectrum had a high reflectivity at a specific wavelength, which is governed by the average index of refraction between the spheres and the void spaces. As a foreign chemical infiltrates into the photonic crystal, it occupies the void space, which results in an increase of the average index of refraction of the structure. Consequently, the peak wavelength of the reflectivity spectrum red-shifts, which then confirms the presence of a foreign substance. While the as-grown photonic crystal is able to detect chemicals, it is unable to differentiate between chemicals that have similar indices of refraction, such as ethanol and methanol. In order to detect chemicals with similar indices of refraction, five pieces of a single photonic crystal (i.e. five pixel device) were exposed to different silanes, which changed the surface chemistry of the silica spheres in the photonic crystal. In turn, the five pixel device was able to produce a unique chemical fingerprint for several chemicals, which can be calibrated to detect toxins in the workplace.
