The unknown gene interacts with dll , abdA,Ubx

We operated the misexpression screen between the EP lines and the pattern lines with the genotypes of eq1>dll, eq1>abdA, eq1>Ubx, eq1-GAL4, ey-GAL4 or dpp-GAL4. After the screening, we found that five of these 1,800 strains of filial generation had special phenotypes. It had shorter antennae and defects in the anterior equatorial region of eyes. We used plasmid rescue and IPCR to sequence the certain target gene, and found that it was escargot, abbreviated as esg. To identify when, where and how the overexpression of escargot induces such phenotype, we operated the staining of eye-antenna disc in third-instar larval period of wild type, eq> esg×UAS-GFP and eq>GFP with anti-dll, anti-caspase3 and anti-esg. The result shows that escargot cannot be detected before puparium formation. But the expression of dll, a gene controls the eye development, was reduced in the eye disc. We except the overexpression cause the defect of distal antennae and the anterior equatorial region of eyes mainly in the 3-day-long pupal life.我們用異位表現法篩選出和eq1>dll、eq1>abdA、eq1>Ubx、eq1-GAL4、ey-GAL4或dpp-GAL4 這些pattern lines有交互作用的EP lines。在這1800種的果蠅子代品系中,有五種具有特殊的性 狀。它們具有觸角短化以及複眼前緣中央區有缺刻的現象(形成心型眼)。我們使用質體救援 法以及IPCR的方法來定序這段未知基因序列,發現這是一個叫做escargot的基因(簡稱esg)。 為了了解過分表現此基因會造成何種分子影響,以至於產生此種性狀,因此我們使用 anti-dll 、anti-caspase3 和anti-esg 進行野生型、eq>esg×UAS-GFP 和eq>GFP 三齡幼蟲的 eye-antenna disc的螢光免疫染色。結果在幼蟲成蛹前都沒有偵測到esg的表現現象;不過在eye disc中,控制眼睛發育的基因dll的表現有被抑制的現象。因此我們推測過分表現esg的過程因 該是發生在為其短短三天的蛹期。也就是說,這種表型應該是在化蛹後形成。

挑戰溶液的電中性~「帶電溶液的研究」

利用范式起電器將靜電導入蒸餾水、甘油、苯、環己烷、乙醇、正丙醇、正戊醇,以及HCl(aq)、NaCl(aq)、CuSO4(aq)……等不同溶液中,我們發現:非電解質溶液可以藉由極性分子的媒合作用"貯存”電子,而其中H2O效果最好,即水合電子是可以穩定存在的!但在水中若添加HCl、NaCl等電解質會提高容易導電性,以致於無貯存電子的效果。我們也發現苯雖不是極性分子,但因具有π共振系統,也能有效貯存電子。另外,從引入密度泛函數理論結合類導體可極化連續模型加以計算的結果,也能發現極性分子容易的溶劑電子親核能比非極性分子容易來的大,與實驗結果吻合。By using a Van de Graff Generator to put electrons into various solutions or solvents (such as water, alcohol, benzene, propyl alcohol, solutions of sodium chloride, etc.), we find out that nonelectrolytes can "store" electrons through hydration of polar molecules. And water has the best ability of keeping electrons among others. In other words, hydrated electrons can exist stably. However, if we add electrolyte into solvent, the solution won't store electrons because of its increasing electric conductivity. The experiment also shows that benzene can keep electrons though it is a nonpolar molecules. We infer that it is the " π resonance system " which contributes to its high ability of electron storage. In addition, by introducing the calculations of CPCM (Conductor-Like Polarizable Continuum Model), we find out that the electron affinity of polar solutions are stronger than those of nonpolar solutions. The computed results are in agreement with our experiment.

超聲波在液體的探討

本實驗一開始主要探討超聲波在水中的基本性質,如:指向性、衰減性…等。實驗發現,超聲波的衰減會同時與其指向性以及衰減性有關。 接著希望利用超聲波在水中的物理性質,近一步測量超聲波在水中的聲速,實驗中則利用駐波以及聲光效應測量。在駐波法測量聲速的實驗中,用洗淨機當作聲源,內部放置量筒,量筒內盛水後放入木屑,並使聲波在其中產生駐波即聲浮現象,求出波長後反推聲速,測量出的聲速誤差值僅有1.13%,而在使用聲光效應測量聲速的實驗中,使1.65 MHz 的超聲波在自製的壓克力容器內部所裝的水中產生駐波後,以波長650 nm 的紅光雷射通過,在遠處屏幕即產生似於光柵繞射現象,藉著屏幕上的繞射條紋反推該液體聲速,測量出聲速誤差均在5%以下。 在觀察聲光效應實驗中,發現過段時間後有氣泡產生,由文獻上,得知此現象為超聲空蝕現象(Acoustic cavitation),就設計實驗測量聲場中聲壓分部,並利用蠟紙觀察氣泡的成長。實驗發現聲場中的聲壓強度以及液體的表面張力和蒸汽壓會影響到產生空蝕的臨界值及產生氣泡的數量。 ;At the beginning this experiment explores the ultrasonic base in the water, including its velocity, the physics property of liquid, direction, and attenuation etc. . . At first, we use methods of standing wave to measure the velocity of sound under the water, using an ultrasonic cleaner as the sound source and putting some wooden powder in the water. As the standing wave accrues/produces, the powder will “stand still.” To measure the length between two grains of powder, in this way we can calculate sound velocity. Another method we use is diffraction of optics. Put 1.65 MHz source and water in a transparent container; then using laser through it. At the board much diffraction light stripes are created. By this way, we can estimate the velocity. Following these ways can calculate velocity precisely. In these experiments, some bubbles create in the container are discovered. We learn it is so-called “Acoustic Cavitation” based on the reference paper. Besides, we design experiment to know the bubbles’ growth and the number of the bubbles is connected to the physics property of liquid. We use different kinds of liquid with different vapor pressure and surface tension. Finally, we know when it has the smaller surface tension and bigger vapor pressure, the liquid makes bubble velocity grow faster and larger amount of bubbles are produced.

長方體內最少完全城堡數

我們試著尋找所需最小的城堡個數以看守整個a × b × c (a,b,c ? N) 的長方體。所謂城堡是一種棋子,當放置城堡的位置是(x, y, z) ,則(x, y,t)、(x,t, z)、(t, y, z) (t 是任何不超出邊界的正整數)是這個城堡可以看守的格子。我們用這些城堡來完全看守長方體,試著找出其最小值。在2005 年我們猜測了a = b = c 、a = b c 、a > b > c 的上界,而在2006 年時完成了a = b = c 、a = b c 的大部分情況的證明,少數不能解決的部份也提供了不錯的上界。目前我們在a = b = c 、a = b c 的情況幾乎完全解決,目前正在向a > b > c 的部份發展。A generalized searching method of finding the minimum number of castle which can oversee all over the rectangular box, defined as a × b× c (a,b,c ? N) , is presented. The castle here is defined as one kind of chess. The castle positioned as (x, y, z) can direct the lattice points of (x, y,t) 、(x,t, z) 、(t, y, z) (t is the positive integer and smaller than the box size). These castles we use here is to oversee the rectangular box and to help us to find the minimum number. In 2005, we got the upper bound of overseeing the rectangular box in the conditions of a = b = c、a = b c、a > b > c , while in 2006 we complete the proofs of the minimum number of castles based on the conditions of a = b = c 、a = b c . The further work we want to attain is to complete the case of a > b > c.

太陽系外行星光度研究

搜尋太陽系外行星(extra-solar planet;exoplanet)是當今天文學家最重要的計畫之ㄧ;其中,當系外行星經過其主恆星碟面時,會造成光度略微下降,稱之為凌日現象(transit) 。本研究便是利用鹿林天文台SLT(Sne Little Telescope)望遠鏡來拍攝兩顆已知的系外行星HD 189733 b 和HD 209458 b在凌日時的影像。 我們得到約4000 張影像,再經過影像修正與資料分析後,我們作出凌日光變曲線圖、Bin圖及相位圖,並從中探討其特性。 經分析判斷後,HD 189733 看到一個剛開始發生和一個完整的凌日現象,分別由B濾鏡和 R 濾鏡所拍攝;而 HD 209458 則看到兩個剛開始發生,三個要結束的凌日現象,分別由B濾鏡、R 濾鏡和 Hα 濾鏡。 並由光變曲線,推得HD 189733 的基本參數,包括:行星半徑為 1.242個木星半徑、軌道傾角為88.94 度以及軌道半徑為 0.03115 天文單位。 Since 1995, more than 200 extra-solar planets have been found. Until today, astronomers still make efforts in searching extra-solar planets because it’s one of the most important projects in this century. During the crossing by the stellar disks (i.e., transits), the exoplanets will cause the brightness to decrease by a small amount. In the project, we have focused on the observations of two known transit exoplanets, HD 189733 b and HD 209458 b. The photometric observations were performed with the 40-cm SLT telescope on the Lulin Observatory. The results from the image procuring, data reduction and analysis are presented. We accrue and plot the light curve, bin and phase. We found out that HD 189733 has two transit ingresses with B, R band, and HD 209458 has two transit ingresses, two transit egresses with B, R, Hα band on phase. We figure out planetary parameters, RP is 1.242 RJ, inclination is 88.94° and orbital semi-major axis is 0.03115 AU by transit light curve.

本研究主要的目的是在開發同時具有空氣清淨與照明的兩種燈具。其中桌燈是基於自然對流原理,利用燈泡發熱讓氣流通過燈具上方的濾網達到過濾功能,為了尋求過濾效果與照度兼顧的最佳值,本研究並提出比較因子的概念。在吊燈方面,除了運用自然對流原理之外,還更進一步利用太陽能驅動風扇,進行強制對流,強化過濾的效果,使得本研究成果更趨於完善。 由實驗結果可得知,桌燈在四星期長期測試條件之下,其過濾效果增進率分別為39.1, 40.8與 40.1%。在吊燈四週長期實驗的結果方面,螺旋與 100W 鎢絲燈泡在自然對流的過濾效果增進率分別為49.1%與 51.4%,而100W鎢絲燈強制對流方面過濾效果增進率則為60.2%。由整個研究結果可以發現,本燈具對於空氣清淨有極佳的效果,在不增加額外耗能條件之下,能增加燈具的散熱效果與延長壽命,同時又具備空氣清淨效果,對環境空氣品質具有相當的貢獻。 The purpose of this study is to develop a novel lamp with both the functions of air-cleaning and lighting. One of it is the desk light. Basing on free convection principle, it makes the air run through the filter on the top of the lamp by its heat in order to attain the aim of air cleaning. To find the optimum value of both cleaning effect and illumination, we advanced the compare factor. The other is the droplight, though it is based on the same principle, we use the solar energy as its power to drive the fan. So that the effect of the filter can be augmented and the result of this research approach perfect. According to the experimental result, in the four-week experiment with desk light, the enhanced efficiency of filter is 39.1%, 40.8% and 40.1% respectively. On the way of droplight with four-week experiment, the enhanced efficiency of filter is 49.1% and 51.4% with helix and tungsten(100W) lamp under the condition of free convection; the enhanced efficiency of filter is 60.2% with tungsten(100W) lamp under forced convection. All these results of the research shows that the novel lamp has great performance on air cleaning and much better effect of heat sink without extra consuming of energy, also the lifespan of the lamp can be extended. Furthermore, it is capable of air cleaning and contributes to the quality of environmental air.

能量環

Quantum Rings are defined to be polygons with sides all of the same unit length that are connected with a fixed positive or negative angle. In the research, the number of Quantum Rings corresponding to a given number of sides and a fixed angle will be discussed. Quantum Rings could be expressed by many sequences which would involve the theory of partitions and ways to eliminate the many to one nature of the sequences in order to evaluate the upper and lower bound. Besides estimating the upper and lower bound, a lot of the qualities of the Quantum Rings under certain circumstances will be mentioned.「能量環」為許多單位長度的線段以定角首尾相接,並且最後接回原點的多邊形。本研究將要探討對於給定邊長個數與相接角度的「能量環」的個數。「能量環」可以被表示成許多種數列的形式。在數列的運算中會牽涉到許多數字分割的理論與排列組合的排除重複以求得能量環個數的上下界。除了定量的求算出上下界以外,報告中也定性的歸納出許多給予特殊條件的能量環的性質。

流體碰撞物體所產生的波形之研究及應用

當流體由圓管流下,在碰撞到物體後水流會產生類似駐波的形狀。為瞭解此現象的產生機制,及影響此現象的變因,我們改變流體的表面張力、流速及與碰撞物體間的距離,以探討各變因對波形所產生的影響,進而研究此現象的成因。由實驗結果發現波形會因流速加快、擋板距離增加、表面張力減少而有波長變短的趨勢,且可以用表面張力波的理論解釋。由理論推導的結果,可測量液體表面張力。由於圓球狀的外型使表面積增大,可增加液體之散熱的面積,因此可應用在水冷系統方面。A phenomenon similar to the standing wave, which occurs when a slow-velocity fluid jet collides with an obstacle, was observed. Because the free surface profile was observed to be stable, the phenomenon was not considered as standing wave. To understand the mechanism of this phenomenon and the factors that can affect the free surface profile, the surface tension of the fluid, jet velocity and the distance between the exit of the tube and the obstacle are varied to study their influences on the free surface profile. According to our experiment, the wave length is shortened when the jet velocity or the distance between the tube and the obstacle increases or when the surface tension decreases. The tendency of the investigated phenomenon can be explained by the capillary wave theory. Based on Bernoulli’s principle, continuity principle and surface tension\r equation, an ODE (ordinary differential equation) could be formulated. By using numerical method to solve this ODE, we predict the free surface profile which could match the experimental photo well. The tendency of the phenomenon can also be explained by the ODE. In order to measure the surface tension of the fluid, we wish to minimize the experiment apparatus. To enhance our assumption we use laser to locate the individual particle that we add in the fluid and calculate the velocity field of the flow jet.
