去氧核糖核酸水解?，(deoxyribonuclease,簡稱DNase)為一種核酸內切?。目前研究得最透徹的去氧核糖核酸水解?為牛胰臟的DNase I，有四種以上的同功?存在。而牛和雞的DNA序列有極高的相似度，由之前的研究中在等電點焦集電泳法顯示雞胰臟DNase I 具A、B 兩種同功?，本實驗則希望能進一步了解兩種同功?的差異原因。在抽取RNA 後，以RT-PCR 方法合成cDNA，將其以限制?切割，再以大腸桿菌作為載體進行轉殖及繁殖培養，最後將其DNA 定序後進行分析比較。目前已完成第一次定序，但因引子接合過程中有部分位置錯亂造成殖體無法進行表現。另外在此次所得之序列中有發現一個胺基酸的轉變，而其是否為多型性之表現則有待進一步的實驗證實。The most advanced research on deoxyribonuclease in current states is on the bovine pancreatic DNase I, more than four of which isoforms have been found. It is shown that the DNA sequences of chicken and bovine have relatively high similarity. In addition, according to the result of isoelectric focusing from previous researches, chicken pancreatic DNaseI has two isoforms (A and B.) In this research, the author expects to establish more knowledge on the differences on the isoforms and the causes. After receiving the RNA, the RT-PCR is preformed to incorporate the cDNA, which is later cleaved by restriction enzyme and inserted into the plasmid DNA of the E. coli host cell to be cloned. So far a polynucleotide sequence has been deduced from clones of the cDNA, but it cannot be expressed successfully in E.coli due to few random mistaken splicing. There is an alternation of one amino acid, and whether it is the actual state of isoform or not still requires further proof.

本研究利用波以耳定律為基礎，以理論計算推導的方式，模擬水氣壓計的操作模式，並 探討其校準模式與誤差來源。 以此設計出的水氣壓計有以下兩個特色： 1. 大氣壓力的變化與水氣壓計液面的變化為線性關係。 2. 可以得到比水銀氣壓計更佳的靈敏度。 而在水氣壓計的校準上分別探討了標準校準、壓力差校準、溫度校準與重力密度校準。 利用標準校準可以得到水氣壓計液面變化與大氣壓力變化的線性關係式。而溫度校準與密度 校準在儀器操作環境為定溫下則可併入標準校準。 This study based on Boyle's law imitates the operation model of water barometer and discusses its calibration and sources of error. The designed water barometer has two features: 1. The relationship between atmospheric pressure and the height changes of the surface of the water barometer is linear. 2. More sensitive than that of a mercury barometer. We also discuss standard calibration, pressure calibration, thermo calibration and gravidensity calibration. The linearity between atmospheric pressure and the height changes of the surface of the water barometer is known by standard calibration; thermo calibration and gravidensity calibration can be merged into standard calibration under constant temperature surroundings.

將一個集合{1,2,...,n}分成數個非空的集合（組，區塊），稱為此集合的一個分割。如果可以找到1 ≦ a 已知無孤立點無交錯分割以Riordan 數{rn}n≥0 =1,0,1,1,3,6,15,36,... 來計數。在這篇文章中我們研究無孤立點無交錯分割的一些性質。 首先我們考慮無孤立點的無交錯分割按區塊的細分。我們得出：集合{1,2,...,n}恰含k個區塊的無孤立點的無交錯分割的個數為： 其次，我們證明bn,k和多邊形的剖分有令人訝異的關連。令dn,k是用不相交對角線將凸n 邊形分成k 塊的方法。我們用代數方法證出 bn,k = dn+2−k ,k，也給了一個新的組合證明。 最後，透過對應的方法，我們找出了七個嶄新的組合結構，這些結構都是以Riordan 數來計數。 Partition the set {1,2,...,n} into several nonempty sets (blocks) and call it a partition. If there exists 1 ≦ a It is known that the nonsingleton noncrossing partitions are counted by Riordan numbers {rn}n≥0 =1,0,1,1,3,6,15,36,... In this paper we study the properties of them. First we consider the enumeration of nonsingleton noncrossing partitions in respect to the blocks. We prove that the number of nonsingleton noncrossing partitions of {1,2,...,n} with k blocks is Then we give a connection between nonsingleton noncrossing partitions and polygon dissections. Let dn,k be the ways to dissect an n –gon with noncrossing diagonals. We prove that bn,k = dn+2−k ,k We also give a combinatorial proof. Furthermore, by way of the technic of bijection, we find 7 new combinatorial structures counted by Riordan numbers.

鹼性電池使用的電解液均為強鹼，電池中的鋅極會與其發生腐蝕反應，使得電池放電壽命降低，並產生氫氣，而大量氫氣使得電池有爆裂的危險，為了改善上述問題，我們自行設計了氣體觀測儀器，用來檢測銀鋅電池充放電與靜置時之氣體產生量，更藉由探討影響變因的過程找出銀鋅電池較合適之使用條件，其中包含電解液種類及濃度之選擇、電極面積與充電電流對使用效果之影響，並改善電池腐蝕程度；我們將鋅極以浸鍍處理(Sn:Pb ＝1:1 )並搭配電解液添加物(KOH:Zn(OH)42 －＝ 2:1) 可效率地抑制氣體產生；更用氯化銀粉末取代傳統氧化銀極片為正極，發現氯化銀可代替氧化銀電極，且有不錯的放電效果。;As we know, the electrolyte solution used in an alkalinebattery is a concentrated alkaline solution, which corrodes the zinc electrode in a battery of this kind. The corrosive reaction not only reduces the lifespan of the battery but also produces hydrogen, causing the battery to explode. This study is intended to help us design a device to measure the quantity of hydrogen gas generated in the charging of a zinc-silver battery. We have studied several factors affecting zinc-silver battery, including the variety of electrolyte, the concentration of alkaline solution, the surface of electrode, and the density of charging current, etc. To reduce the corrosion of zinc electrode, we plate the zinc electrode by the immersion electroless plating method, using several kinds of low-polluting anti-corrosive additives (metallic compounds such as lead and tin). We also add zincate ion into electrolyte solution to further reduce the quantity of hydrogen produced. The experiments show a zinc-silver alkaline battery works most efficiently, if the powder of silver chloride is used instead of silver oxide.

罹患神經母細胞瘤的兒科病人，尤其是罹患stage IVs 神經母細胞瘤者，他們有些伴隨著非常嚴重的貧血，但卻檢測不出神經母細胞瘤已經侵犯骨髓；有時病情來勢洶洶，尤其是腫瘤細胞中已可偵測到N-myc 基因增幅者，診斷時腫瘤細胞可能已在腹腔四處擴散並已侵犯大部分的肝臟。但是，某些這種病患，特別是腫瘤細胞中N-myc 基因沒增幅者，即使在沒有治療的狀況下卻可能有自然恢復的現象，也就是腫瘤細胞會自動消退，但原因仍待進一步的證實與探討。可是，這些病人在其病情最嚴重的時候，骨髓內紅血球母細胞形態上的改變顯示可能與病毒感染有關。但是關於病毒來源的研究，現有的資訊仍然十分有限，其中最重要的是，病毒感染與引發其後天之免疫作用是否有關，更需要深層的研究。因此，為更進一步了解罹患神經母細胞瘤之兒科病人的病毒感染及病毒蛋白表現的作用，我們這次研究的目的在檢驗罹患神經母細胞瘤及貧血之兒科病人與微小病毒B19 (PVB19)、Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)、腸病毒71 型(EV 71)和巨細胞病毒(CMV)的關係，以及病毒蛋白表現對這些病人的作用與臨床意義。In pediatric patients with neuroblastoma, in particular, those with stage IVs neuroblastoma, sometimes the disease was combined with severe anemia. However, no tumor involvement was detected in the bone marrow. Although some of these patients may have N-myc gene amplification, and the disease could have invaded many abdominal organs, especially liver, interestingly, the disease might regress spontaneously in some of these patients. The medical reason of the spontaneous regression, nonetheless, remains to be determined. It is worth noting that morphological changes of erythroid progenitor cells in the bone marrow have suggested virus infection in these pediatric patients. However, the available information of viral origin is limited. Furthermore, it is possible that the virus infection in these patients could be associated with the revocation of immune responses related to the spontaneous regression of the tumor. In this study we will investigate the relationship of parvovirus B19 (PVB19), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), enterovirus 71 (EV71) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) with neuroblastoma by PCR in Taiwanese pediatric patients. Moreover, we will study the effect and the clinical significance of viral gene expression as well as N-myc gene amplification in these patients.

本研究以結構穩定、能溶於水，並會影響人體生長發育的固醇類激素──副腎上腺皮質激素作為探討對象，嘗試了解此類之類固醇類激素對植物的生長發育是否有影響。結果發現無論是雙子葉的豆科植物或是單子葉的禾本科植物，其根、莖、葉的生長皆會受到激素的抑制，且出現激素濃度越高，抑制情形越顯著的情形。此外，統計學的結果顯示，類固醇會蓄積在植物體內，造成累積性的抑制作用，此現象和動物使用過量類固醇類激素時產生之副作用十分相似。 The present study investigates the effect of cortical sterile on the growth of plants. The results show that it has effect on both dicotyledons and monocotyledons in the roots, stems and leaves. It is also shown that the higher the concentration, the more marked suppression of their growth. Statistical analyses suggest a cumulative effect, which has also been found of overdoes of cortical sterile on animals.

中文摘要 重金屬對人體傷害的無遠弗屆-人人皆知，根據流行病學的研究指出，長期處在 重金屬含量過高之地區，易造成生理病變。比方說，長期生活在砷含量高的環境中， 易導致肝臟、周邊血管及神經系的損害，各種癌症的發生機率也大為提高。 本實驗以中國倉鼠卵巢細胞（CHO-K1）為材料，利用微核偵測技術(Michronuclei, MN)及姐妹染色分體互換(Sister chromatid exchanges, SCE)之誘引來探討亞硒酸鈉 (Sodium selenite, NaSeO2) 及亞砷酸鈉(Sodium arsenite, NaAsO2) 的交互作用 (interaction)。實驗結果顯示亞硒酸鈉本身不會造成MN 的增加，但讓SCE 頻率增加； 亞砷酸鈉會誘引增加MN 和SCE。亞硒酸鈉前處理不會減少亞砷酸鈉誘引之SCE 和 MN，但可微微降低亞砷酸鈉抑制雙核細胞(Bunucleated cells, BN)的形成，但是不明 顯。本實驗結果未能看出亞硒酸鈉前處理與亞砷酸鈉有明顯的交互作用，但發現亞 硒酸鈉會增加SCE 頻率，因此亞硒酸鈉做為保健食品值得進一步的關切及探討。 英文摘要 It is well-documented that exposure to heavy metals could cause seriously adverse effects to humans. Epidemiological evidence has shown that illness is frequently observed in residents living long-term in heavy metal contaminated area. For example, arsenic exposure was associated with increased incidences of liver diseases, peripheral vascular and neurological diseases, as well as cancers. In this report we investigated the interaction of selenite and arsenite on micronuclei (MN) and sister chromatid exchange (SCE) induction in Chinese hamster ovary-K1 (CHO-K1) cells. The present results demonstrated that sodium selenite by itself did not induce MN, but it did cause the increase of SCE frequency. Sodium arsenite significantly induced MN and SCE in CHO-K1 cells. Pretreatment of CHO-K1 cells with selenite could not reduce MN and SCE frequency induced by arsenite, but slightly prevent the cells from arsenite-induced inhibition of binucleated cell formation. In the present study, no significant interaction between sodium selenite pretreatment and sodium arsenite was observed. However, sodium selenite was unexpectedly found to enhance SCE frequency in CHO-K1 cells. The application of selenite as health protection agent warrants our concerns and further investigation.

This study is to investigate whether colony of the spiny-weaver ant, Polyrhachis dives, have biological clock so as to observe the locomotion activities of the ants in the nest and find out if the Light period will interfere the rhythm. The conclusion is the colony of the ants get the rhythm is 23.8 hours during in L:D=12:12.There are ants not significant difference between large colonies and small colonies. While in Dark (D:D)the ants appears free running with 23.1 hours as the rhythm, so, the colony of the ants has obvious light-rhythm movement, showing that the biological clock will act on group and being controlled by light period. 本研究是在探討黑棘蟻 (polyrhachis dives) 聚落是否有生物時鐘(biological clock)，以觀察黑棘蟻在巢裡的活動情形，找出週期並探討光是否會影響週期。結果觀察出黑棘蟻 的聚落在有光的時候(L:D=12:12)以23.8 小時為週期，沒有光的時候(D:D)黑棘蟻仍呈現自由律動(free running)，以23.1 小時為週期，所以黑棘蟻的聚落有明顯的日週律動，顯示生物時鐘能作用在聚落上，且受光週期之調控。

茶由於其具有特殊的芳香氣味及口味，廣泛地被世人用為飲料，近年來的研究證據顯示茶具有促進身體健康和防癌功效，但茶中之成分，尤其兒茶素隨茶及茶沖泡方式而有所不同，因此對於茶中成分及沖泡方式的認知是一門重要的課題。 本實驗主要是探討茶沖泡方式及儲藏條件，對於茶液中成分變化的影響，探討的茶包含紅茶、烏龍茶、綠茶及其茶包。並使用質譜儀及高效能液相層析儀配備紫外光偵測器分析茶液中之成分，實驗結果顯示加蓋子的茶杯儲存茶時比沒蓋子的要好；成分變化速率又以未發酵的綠茶較發酵的紅茶和烏龍茶快；低溫儲存時，亦可延緩茶的成分變化，例如加蓋並存放於冰箱，茶甚至可置放至隔夜其成分均不會改變；尤其本實驗尚發現照光與否影響茶液成分變化甚鉅。;Tea is the most widely accepted and consumed beverage worldwide due to its characteristic aroma and taste. Recent studies have provided the strong scientific basis for understanding the health promoting effects and cancer preventive actions of tea. The components of tea especial the catechins are varied with the conditions of making tea. To understand and determine the chemical composition of tea is very important. Some investigations of the parameters on the storage and making of tea were carried on in this study. The kinds of tea studied were including black tea, oolong tea, green tea, and instant tea bags. A high performance liquid chromatograph combined with UV detector was used to analyze the components of tea. The results showed that the composition of tea solution is dependant of the exposure of light. The tea kept in cup with cover was better than that without cover. The ingredients in green tea were changed faster than those in fermentative black tea and oolong tea. The components of tea can be kept unchanged for a long time at low temperature. In refrigerator, the time can be extended to overnight.

近年來重金屬污染問題日益嚴重，因此檢測地下水、工業廢水中的重金屬含量為一重要課題。本實驗即是利用錄音機中的零件－石英振盪器作為電化學分析偵測的工作電極，在0.1 M KNO3（pH = 3）溶液中利用循環伏安法以50 mV/s 的掃描速度從 – 100 到 – 700 mV 持續掃描 10 圈，來穩定電極表面。 以方波陽極剝除伏安法（SWASV）模式設定預濃縮電位– 700 mV、預濃縮時間60 秒偵測重金屬的鉛離子。掃描電位範圍由 – 700 到 – 100 mV vs. Ag/AgCl 往氧化方向掃描。偵測鉛離子濃度範圍為200－600 ppb，之後可針對各種條件作最佳化的條件探討可降低偵測濃度及實際運用於地下水及工業廢水的檢測。 Heavy metal pollution becomes very serious. Lead (Pb) determination is a continuous research interest in clinical, environmental, and industrial application. The main causes for living biological media are mutagenic, carcinogenic, and teratogenic activity. The determination of trace metal in the ground and industrial waste water will be a important project. Here, we report a simple system which using quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) (use in radio machine) for working electrode. The QCM was first equilibrated in 0.1 M KNO3（pH = 3）base electrolyte for about 1 min before electrochemical experiments. It was then pretreated by continuous scans in the window from – 100 to – 700 mV at a scan rate of 50 mV/s until a stable background current obtained. The amount of Pb2+ was detected quantitatively using square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry（SWASV）. The potential range was set from – 100 to – 700 mV in the cathodic direction for most cases. The standard addition method concentration range is from 200 to 600 ppb. Analytical conditions were systematically optimized and extended to practical applications aslo.
