1. 遊戲規則:將1~ 2m × 2n的連續正整數,由上而下、由左而右依序填入 2m × 2n的方格內。操作規則允許將2m × 2n做往右或往左或往上或往下的完全對摺,直到操作至所有單位方格均疊成一行,此同時有數字也由上而下形成一數列。2. 本研究即是探討操作完成的數列之數量與數字間的關連性。3. 我們發現:(1) 數列之數量與巴斯卡三角形有關。(2) 形成的數列必符合內文的 [ R(L) 性質]、 [ D(U) 性質]、[ R&D 性質]、[D&R 性質]。 1. Rules of thegame: Fill in order the continuous positive integers 1~ 2m × 2n, from top to bottom and from left to right in the 2m × 2n check. The operational rule allows a complete fold of 2m × 2n either rightward or leftward, or upward or downward, until all the check units pile up in a line. At the same time, all the integers form a series from top to bottom. 2. This study explores the relationship between the number of the series and the integers after the operation. 3. Our findings are: (1) The number of the series is related to Pascal triangles. (2) The series formed meet the properties mentioned in the study: [the property of R(L)], [the property of D(U)], [the property of R & D], and [the property of D & R].

同步現象的研究

In our daily life, objects and the contacts between objects they will have mutually affect each other, some initially chaotic systems after a sufficient amount of time will mutually correct each other, and finally achieve synchronization (example: the speed of bird and fish migration, market prices, infantry…), although some are unable to achieve this. We will illustrate and explain the synchronization system, its process and discover the conditions for synchronization. Using linking concepts, we will integrate the coupled map lattices with global coupling and coupled map lattices with intermediate-range models into a synchronization mode in order to simulate a synchronization system. We first used a small system of n≦50 to obtain results that will demonstrate the linking concepts: 1. The more chaotic a system, a longer period of time is required for synchronization. 2. An increase in the number of individual objects requires an increase in the range of concepts and the amount of time in order to achieve an in depth synchronization. 3. Initial concept values which randomly effect synchronization critical point conditions are not obvious in a mathematically incorrect graph. In a closer look, when we increased the synchronization to n≦400 and the number of times to t-->100,000 we discovered:1. Using the function G(x) we hoped the results from the graph after apply the function and correction able to overlap and test with “Scaling and Universality in Transition to Synchronous Chaos with Local-Global Interactions”, but the part which overlapped the measurements was not identical: 2. We can use the significance of the critical point and the Interactive Process to find the approximate value of the critical value up to 4 digits following the decimal point. 3. We can also use the approximate value to find out the range for the simultaneous conditions and the various points on the system itself, as well as obtain a negative correlation between them, and then it can be similarly expressed with using a curve. A computer can calculate values with this kind of enumerating method, even without any special resolution capabilities to quickly obtain large amounts of approximate values of simultaneous conditions, this is especially true when calculating unfamiliar systems. 日常生活中,物件與物件的接觸,彼此會互相影響,有些原本雜亂的系統再經過充裕時間的互相修正後,最後竟能達成同步(例如:鳥群、魚群遷徙的速度、市場價格、行軍步伐…),有些則不能。因此,我們試著利用描述同步系統的模型,觀察系統同步的過程,並且找出同步的條件。由連結的觀點,我們將Coupled map lattices with global coupling 和Coupled map lattices with intermediate-range 模型的優點整合成Synchronization mode 去模擬同步系統。我們先用小系統(n≦50)得到能印證連結觀點的結果:(一)、系統越雜亂,就需要稍長的時間同步;(二)、個體數越多時,各點需要更大範圍的點數去影響於每單位時間內以及更深的影響才能同步;(三)、起始值隨機影響同步臨界條件並不明顯,在誤差範圍內。更進一步,我們將系統推向n≦400 點,t→100,000 次,我們發現:(一)、在”G(x)”我們希望能將圖形經過函數修正之後能疊和,驗證”Scaling and Universality In Transition to Synchronous Chaos with Local-Global Interactions ”中的結果,但只有部分疊和,尺度不相同;(二)、可以直接利用臨界點的意義用十分逼近法求出臨界值的近似值到小數後四位;(三)、我們用近似值也能發現同步條件與系統各點本身可跳躍的數值範圍是負相關,可用曲線去近似。這種窮舉方式,交由電腦運算,不需要特別的解析能力就能夠快速且大量求得同步條件的近似值,尤其在運算不熟悉的系統時。

Discover Weitgenberk inequality makes us excited.

Dioscorin 對塵?造成氣管上皮細胞傷害的保護性之研究

古籍上記載山藥益肺氣,養肺陰,且最近研究報告發現山藥含有珍貴的dioscorin,其為山藥貯存養分的重要蛋白質,有抑制胰蛋白水解?之活性。而塵?糞便、屍體中的消化蛋白?會破壞呼吸道上皮細胞緊密連接處引起過敏氣喘反應。我對此甚感興趣,進而利用山藥的萃取蛋白dioscorin、塵?粗萃取蛋白及呼吸道上皮癌細胞A549,藉細胞培養、免疫螢光染色、螢光顯微攝影來實驗山藥是否真能保護上皮細胞緊密連接處。再利用膠體電泳、西方墨點法中抗體的高專一性、二抗的高靈敏度來確知我之前的實驗。另外也用ELISA 來實驗dioscorin或塵?引起A549 發炎的情況是如何。由實驗得知,dioscorin 可抑制及預防塵?引起的過敏氣喘反應;而經由ELISA 實驗發現,dioscorin 對於塵?刺激A549分泌發炎物質Eotaxin 並沒有助長或是降低的效果。It was believed that Chinese yam have benefits in treating asthma. Recently, it was found that the valuable dioscorin can be isolated from Chinese yam. The major function of dioscorin is nutrition-storage, however, it also have activities in inhibiting trypsin-like protease. This inhibitory activities trigger my interests. Because the major allergens, mites, and their stool may destroy the tight junctions of airway epithelium cells through their trypsin-protease activities. I therefore carry out an in vitro study to identify whether dioscorin can be used in protecting epithelium from the attack of mites. My results showed that dioscorin can protect the tight junctions of A549 cells from the attack of mite crude extract protein. I believed that dioscorin can be a good candidate in pharmacology application. The genetic and proteomic information are my further focus. On the other hand, we also investigated the possible activity of dioscorin in inhibiting mites-induced inflammation through using A549 as a model and employing ELISA. We found dioscorin neither inhibited nor enhanced the eotaxin being secreted from A549 under the stimulation of mites.

氣泡在黏滯性液體中的運動

本研究目的在探索不同大小之氣泡在不同黏滯性液體中運動情形。實驗結果發現大氣泡向上運動的速度較大,其下方會漸漸向內凹。並且觀察到氣泡間結合時的相互作用:氣泡在相同黏滯性膠水中上升時,若下方氣泡體積較大,其較快的速率會使距離縮短。此時小氣泡的下半向內凹,大氣泡的下半則向外呈現流線型尖端並且在接近小氣泡時速率增加,最後與小氣泡結合。若上方氣泡體積很小,與下方大氣泡的距離縮短至相互貼合,小氣泡會先停留在大氣泡的上半表面,再沿大氣泡表面下滑至大氣泡的下半才與大氣泡結合。This research traces the motions of bubble with different volume in viscid liquid. The experimental results show that the bigger bubble rises at faster speed. The shape of the small bubble is round. As the volume of the bubble increases, it turns hamburger-like. And if the bubble is big enough, its underside would be concaved. In viscid liquid, the speed of the bubble is not smooth but waved. The smaller the bubble is, the more the variation in speed is. The interaction of two bubbles is also studied. There are two types of the combination of two bubbles. While the big one closes to the small one, it is accelerated. The underside of the small one becomes concave. And the big one becomes streamline shape. If the difference in volume between two bubbles is significant, the small one slides along the surface of the big one, and goes into the concave beneath it, then combines with it.

數位公車

This study investigates the possibility that “Digital Buses” would actually be used in real life. In addition to the basic mathematics knowledge that I have acquired over the years, I have used “Microsoft Visual Basic” and “LEGO ROBOLAB SOFTWARE” to implement the idea as a program. It simulates the way in which a digital bus travels in a city with a rectangular grid. Various plans are tested to find the best paths for providing the most efficient, convenient and speedy transportation. This study has not only shown that “Digital Buses” are sure to be used in a modern city when wireless communication networks has developed to a certain point, but also supplied a framework for future researchers who may wish to study the optimal way in which more than one digital buses could efficiently run in cities according to their population distributions and road arguments, in order to overcome the traffic problems from the current bus systems. 本研究探討數位公車在人類未來生活中實際運行的可行性。本人以所學的數學知識進行公車路徑規劃,並透過「樂高機器人控制系統」以及Microsoft Visual Basic 軟體程式之撰寫,在棋盤式城市區域中模擬公車行駛情境,靈活搭配各種方案找出最佳路徑,達到便利快捷的高運輸效能。本研究顯示當現代化都市無線通訊網路發達到一定的程度時,數位公車的發展是可以預期的。本研究之結果可提供後續研究者繼續探討多台數位公車在實際都市中依人口分佈、道路狀況來規劃最佳行駛路徑,以解決現今機械公車無法克服之繁雜交通困境。

Peanut Hull as an Antioxidant in Metal Coats

A study was done to determine if the antioxidants found in peanut hulls could be used\r for lessening the corrosion rate of iron. Peanut hulls were ground then divided into two\r batches, P1 and P2, then oven-dried at temperatures of 50°C and 60°C, respectively. The\r moisture content of each batch was then determined before performing methanolic extraction\r to isolate the antioxidants. Eighteen iron strips of approximately the same surface areas were\r thoroughly cleaned and weighed, then divided into six groups. The iron strips in the first five\r groups were respectively coated with pure extract from batch P1; a 1:1 mixture of P1 extract\r and turpentine; pure P2 extract; a 1:1 mixture of P2 extract and turpentine; and pure\r turpentine. No treatment was done on the sixth group. All iron strips were exposed to air to\r allow formation of rust thru atmospheric corrosion. After 12 days, the iron strip were cleaned\r and weighed; then the individual corrosion rates of the metals were determined.\r The corrosion rates of the metals treated with pure P1 extract, the P1-Turpentine, and\r the P2-Turpentine mixtures were found to be significantly lower than the corrosion rates of\r the metals without treatment, at 5% level of significance in a t-Test for independent samples.\r The average corrosion rates of all the treated metals were found to be lower than that of\r metals treated with pure turpentine, though not significantly. The corrosion rate of the metals\r coated with turpentine was not significantly less than that of untreated metals. The corrosion\r rates of the metals were also found not to be dependent with the moisture as there was no\r significant difference in the mean corrosion rates of metals treated with P1 extract and those\r treated with P2 extract, with or without turpentine.\r The project has shown that peanut hull extracts can be used to lessen the production\r of rust on the surface of the metal. Moisture content of the hulls was not found to be a factor\r in lessening the corrosion rate.
