A Trophic Model For Kuosheng Bay In Northern Taiwan, Hsing-Juh Lin, Kwang-Tsao Shao, Jiang-Shiou Hwang, Wen-Tseng Lo, I-Jiunn Cheng, Lih-Huwa Lee

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

Using the Ecopath with Ecosim software system, a mass-balanced trophic model of Kuosheng Bay, where the Second Nuclear Power Plant is sited on the coast, was constructed. This model comprised 17 compartments, ranging from a trophic level of 1.00 for primary producers and detritus to 3.97 for piscivorous fish. The geometric mean of the trophic transfer efficiencies was 6.5%. The lower efficiencies were attributable to high flows to detritus, suggesting that the food web was more dependent on detritus than on primary producers to generate total system throughput. The total system throughput, system production, and system biomass were comparable to …

Hydrographical Studies Of Waters Adjacent To Nuclear Power Plants I And Ii In Northern Taiwan, Tien-Hsi Fang, Jing-Fang Chen, Yueh-Yuan Tu, Jiang-Shiou Hwang, Wen-Tseng Lo

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

From 2000 to 2003, water samples were seasonally collected from the coastal area near nuclear power plants (NPPs) I and II to assess the ecological impact of thermal effluent on the water quality. The water quality in the investigated area during the survey periods was as follows: pH, 7.87-8.40; dissolved oxygen, 3.61-7.11 mL/L; chlorophyll a, 0.07-1.9 µg/L; nitrite, 0.02-7.42 µM; nitrate, 0.3- 15.4 µM; phosphate, 0.02-1.48 µM; and silicate, 0.84-46.82 µM. The concentrations of nutrients in the spring and winter seasons were relatively higher than those in the summer and fall seasons. The concentrations of chlorophyll a showed the reverse …

Orienting The Free Spikes, Jakayla Robbins

Combinatorics Seminar

The free spikes are rather notorious in matroid theory for being rather illbehaved, that is to say that the free spikes often show up as counterexamples. In this talk we introduce the class of matroids known as the free spikes and the concept of oriented matroids. We will enumerate the orientaitons of the free spikes and show that once again the free spikes are ill-behaved.

論香港新詩 1925-1949, Chi Tak Chan

Lingnan Theses (MPhil & PhD)

本論文研究一九二五至一九四九年間的香港新詩，即從目前所見最早的香港 新詩資料開始，直至一九四九年為止。研究從翻查和整理大量早期報刊、文學雜 誌等第一手資料開始，配合同時期中國新詩的發展，探討二○年代即香港新詩的 創始階段，至一九四九年的發展特色，思考香港新詩在中國現代文學史上的意義，並展開相關討論。

論文第一章先概述香港與內地新詩的連繫，再釐定本論文的研究範圍和香港新詩的定義，其中有關香港新詩的定義是參考上海現代文學史研究學者區分上海 作家和上海文學為兩個不同概念的做法，把「香港詩人」和「香港新詩」分屬不同範疇，並特別以「香港新詩」為討論重點。除了地域層面上的意義，本論文亦嘗試析論香港新詩相對於中國新詩的精神面貌和詩學取向。

第二至第九章基本上以時間發展為序，探討香港新詩不同時期的發展特色， 包括二○年代引介五四新詩及不同的詩形式，三○年代的都市詩、對上海《現代》 雜誌和現代派詩歌的學習和批評、寫實主義詩論的探討及創作，抗戰時期的論爭及不同取向、戰後的左翼詩歌等等，關注點除了特定時期的重要或主流風尚，也 仔細閱讀難以歸類的詩作，思考時代風尚與主流以外不同風格之間的關係。

早期香港新詩的發展除了本身特色，亦與大範圍內整個中國新詩的發展歷程密切相關，研究和討論早期香港新詩，除了「本土」的意義，也可以補充「中國現代文學史」論述的不足。相比一九五○年代以後的時期，早期香港新詩歷史的特色、亦即它複雜的地方，正在於它與中國新詩的關係。一九五○年後，新詩在 中國內地、台灣和香港各自發展，各有不同的面貌和取向，相對於三四○年代中 國新詩和當代中國和台灣新詩的研究，有關早期香港新詩的研究不算多，本論文 嘗試全面地回顧一個階段的香港新詩，提出討論的方向，期望有助進一步的研究。

Privacy, Free Speech & The Garden Grove Cyber Café Experiment, Brett Stohs

Duke Law & Technology Review

In response to gang violence at local "cyber cafés," the City Council of Garden Grove, California, passed an ordinance requiring cyber cafés to install video surveillance systems. The constitutionality of the provision was subsequently challenged, and a California Court of Appeal determined that the video surveillance requirement did not violate free speech or privacy protections under either the federal or California Constitutions. This decision was immediately challenged, by commentators and a dissenting judge, as opening the door to Orwellian-type, government intrusions into individuals' personal lives. This iBrief analyzes the appellate court's decision and concludes that not only did the majority …

Observation And Properties Of The X(3872) Decaying To J/Ψπ+Π- In Pp̅ Collisions At √S = 1.96 Tev, V. M. Abazov, Gregory R. Snow, D0 Collaboration

Gregory Snow Publications

We report the observation of the X(3872) in the J/ψπ⁺π^- channel, with J/ψ decaying to μ⁺μ^-, in pp̅ collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV. Using approximately 230 pb^-1 of data collected with the Run II D0 detector, we observe 522 ± 100 X(3872) candidates. The mass difference between the X(3872) state and the J=J/ψ is measured to be 774.9 ± 3.1(stat) ± 3.0(syst) MeV/c². We have investigated the production and decay characteristics of the X(3872) and find them to be …

Seasonal And Spatial Distribution Of Phytoplankton In The Waters Off Nuclear Power Plants, North Of Taiwan, Wen-Tseng Lo, Jiuan-Jiuan Hwang, Pei-Kai Hsu, Hung-Yen Hsieh, Yueh-Yuan Tu, Tien-Hsi Fang, Jiang-Shiou Hwang

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

Species composition of phytoplankton was monitored seasonally in the waters off the First and Second Nuclear Power plants (NPP1 and NPP2), north of Taiwan during 2001-2002. In total, 290 phytoplankton samples were collected and 265 taxa of phytoplankton were recorded. Chaetoceros compressus, Pseudo-nitzschia delicatissima, Skeletonema costatum, Thalassionema nitzschioides, and Lauderia annulata were the top five dominant species. Together they comprised 75% of the total phytoplankton cells. The species number and abundance of phytoplankton showed distinct seasonal, annual, and spatial changes, higher abundance in 2002 than 2001 and highest in August in both years and lowest in March in 2001 and …

Temporal Changes In Fish Assemblage From The Impingement Data At The Second Nuclear Power Plant,Northern Taiwan, Yun-Chih Liao, Li-Shu Chen, Kwang-Tsao Shao, Yueh-Yuan Tu

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

The main purposes of this study are to find out the temporal fluctuation of marine fish community based on impingement data collected at the Second Nuclear Power Plant in recent years (September 2000 to May 2004), and to compare the recent fish community structure data to that of an earlier period, around 14 years ago (July 1987 to April 1990). Comparison of the data collected recently to that collected 14 years ago showed that there were no yearly or monthly differences. However, the community structures reflected by clustering dendrograms or MDS ordination plots were quite different between earlier and recent …

Effects Of Nuclear Power Plant Thermal Effluent On Marine Sessile Invertebrate Communities In Southern Taiwan, Yalan Chou, Ta-Yu Lin, Chen-Tung Arthur Chen, Li-Lian Liu

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

The present study aimed at determining the impact of cooling water discharge from a Nuclear Power Plant in Kenting, Taiwan on the recruitment patterns of marine invertebrates. Field experiments were conducted over a six-year period in the vicinity of the power plant, with six control sites, five at influent areas, one at reference site, and three experimental sites at effluent areas. In general, among the monitoring sites, polychaetes and bryozoans were the most abundant organisms, and their recruitment on settlement plates was always higher in influent than in effluent areas. Partially as a result of a 5-week accidental shutdown of …

Rare Earth-Aluminum Oxide Glasses For Optical Applications, Richard Weber, Jean A. Tangeman, Paul C. Nordine, Richard N. Scheunemann, Kirsten J. Hiera, Chandra S. Ray

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Glasses based on rare earth oxides and aluminum oxide with 0-20 mol% SiO₂ provide a combination of optical properties, mechanical and chemical stability, and process characteristics not available in other oxide materials. Properties of the glasses include: refractive index 1.7-1.8, low dispersion (Abbe number ∼40), high solubility of optically active dopants, homogeneous chemical composition, long fluorescence lifetimes at dopant concentrations up to 5 mol%, broad fluorescence bandwidth, and infra-red transmission to ≈5000nm. the glasses are hard, strong and resist chemical attack and they can be cast in sections 5-10mm thick. This paper briefly describes glass processing and presents bulk …
