A Simple Numerical Method Of Cycle Jumps For Cyclically Loaded Structures, D. Cojocaru, Anette M. Karlsson Dec 2006

A Simple Numerical Method Of Cycle Jumps For Cyclically Loaded Structures, D. Cojocaru, Anette M. Karlsson

Mechanical Engineering Faculty Publications

A method for accelerated numerical simulations of structures subjected to cyclic loading is investigated. Of particular interest is a class of structures where the structural properties evolve with time. The proposed method is based on conducting detailed finite element analysis for a set of cycles to establish a trend line, extrapolating the trend line spanning many cycles, and use the extrapolated state as initial state for additional FEA simulations. This includes a control function that automatically monitors the length of the cycle jump to ensure a realistic solution. We compare the proposed method to a reference calculation, where all incremental …

Evidence Of Influenza A Virus Rna In Siberian Lake Ice, Scott O. Rogers, Gang Zhang, Dany Shoham, David Gilchinsky, Sergei Davydov, John D. Castello Dec 2006

Evidence Of Influenza A Virus Rna In Siberian Lake Ice, Scott O. Rogers, Gang Zhang, Dany Shoham, David Gilchinsky, Sergei Davydov, John D. Castello

Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

Influenza A virus infects a large proportion of the human population annually, sometimes leading to the deaths of millions. The biotic cycles of infection are well characterized in the literature, including in studies of populations of humans, poultry, swine, and migratory waterfowl. However, there are few studies of abiotic reservoirs for this virus. Here, we report the preservation of influenza A virus genes in ice and water from high-latitude lakes that are visited by large numbers of migratory birds. The lakes are along the migratory flight paths of birds flying into Asia, North America, Europe, and Africa. The data suggest …

臨床技術訓練中心之創建與經營－台北榮民總醫院之經驗, 春蓮 巫, 惠文 楊, 雅琳 程, 祖裕 陳, 正典 郭, 震寰 陳, 素真 陳, 橈通 何

Journal of Medical Education

台北榮民總醫院臨床技術訓練中心（以下簡稱本中心）於2003年2月19日正式開幕運作，至今已逾3年。在籌備、啟用，以及持續運作的幾個階段中經歷了不少障礙與困難，從而獲得一些經驗和心得，特記述於本文與同好分享。在本中心規劃籌建的過程中，首先要預估未來需要的課程，據以尋找空間、規劃間隔、廣徵人才及購買設備等，都必須具有充分的前瞻性，由於當時國內醫學教育機構尚未有可供參考的典範，故曾派員到英國利物浦大學參訪，並以其臨床技術資源中心作為設計藍圖。在人員編制方面，本中心自始即編列三位全職且在急救加護護理具有多年經驗的護理師，負責行政策劃、參與教學及課程研發等任務，確保「永續經營」的方針。空間應用則是採用多功能、人性化及便於變通的原則，以達到「地盡其利」的目標。在作業規範中對於場地及設施的使用、管理及維護均訂定詳細的規範，以期能提供「溫馨友善的學習環境」。由於本中心人員身兼行政、教學及研發等多重任務，故人員在職訓練亦成為本中心營運及發展計畫的主要部分。除人員須不斷學習之外，本中心執行之各項課程亦有持續改進的機制。

Osce之測驗結果分析：成功大學醫學院經驗, 淳娟 蔡, 其和 林, 琮琳 陳, 可式 趙, 宗烈 葉, 景仁 蔡, 伊凡 張

Journal of Medical Education

醫師的臨床技能需要被確實教導與評量，OSCE(Objective Structured Clinical Examination)是評量臨床技能的重要工具之一，近年來更成為美加與日本醫師執照考試的一部份。本研究目的為報告成大醫學院施行OSCE的早期成效，並示範如何使用心理評量分析，作為給學生回饋、改善課程與未來OSCE測驗品質之依據。本文收集2003至2005年間，在成大醫學院對醫六學生進行OSCE的相關資料，加以整理分析。結果：近三年間醫六OSCE各進行了8,15,8站，其中使用標準化病人站數有5,7,5站，其中四個共通站並沒有造成試題的安全性問題，但學生在各站的表現及考官的給分則差異頗大，以心理測量分析2005年73位考生OSCE分數顯示，此測驗之內部信度為0.62，其中三站乃測量不同面向，最後歸類為三個測量面向後，各面向內部信度分別為0.92, 0.81, 0.77，factor 1稱為一般性臨床技術，factor 2稱為深入性臨床技術，而factor 3則代表一種「操作型技術」(psychomotor skill)特質，學生的操作型技術表現不佳，以邊緣群族法判定及格標準時，有6.8%考生不及格。factor 1,2被發現各有一瑕疵子題需刪除或修改，兩站考官有子題與整體總評差異的問題。結論：研究結果顯示需加強考官訓練，改善評分表設計，提供充裕評分時間，及增加考官人數，以提高測驗品質，測驗後之成績分析對考官與考生之回饋以及改善課程極具貢獻。

美國内科住院醫師訓練, 宗信 朱, 家勳 張, 博生 謝 Dec 2006

美國内科住院醫師訓練, 宗信 朱, 家勳 張, 博生 謝

Journal of Medical Education

美國住院醫師訓練的目標依Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education的建議是培訓住院醫師六項核心能力，即病人照顧、醫學知識、臨床工作中的學習與改善、人際關係與溝通技巧、專業素養，以及制度下的臨床工作。多數醫學院內科提供的住院醫師訓練分為三大類：一為傳統路徑；二為primary care internist路徑；三為preliminary路徑。在美國，為便於住院醫師訓練，內科病房大多是一般內科病房。住院醫師的門診及急診訓練占訓練總時數三分之一以上。內科住院醫師訓練期間為三年，包括至少30個月的一般內科、內科次專科、加護醫學、急診醫學訓練。近幾年來，美國內科住院醫師訓練完畢者每年約7千名，內科專科執照通過率約90%。目前美國內科執業模式可分為三類﹕一般內科醫師、住院病患專責醫師、次專科醫師。為了拉近住院醫師訓練與執業之差距，住院醫師訓練時間要合理分配到各項執業模式並執行高品質、安全、有效、全人醫療之訓練。

接受醫學課程整合教育的醫學系三年級和學士後醫學系一年級學生焦慮和憂鬱程度之比較, 正芳 顏, 克明 劉, 春生 賴, 俊雄 黃, 尚志 黃, 尹亭 黃 Dec 2006

接受醫學課程整合教育的醫學系三年級和學士後醫學系一年級學生焦慮和憂鬱程度之比較, 正芳 顏, 克明 劉, 春生 賴, 俊雄 黃, 尚志 黃, 尹亭 黃

Journal of Medical Education

高雄醫學大學醫學院是目前台灣唯一具有七年制醫學系和學士後醫學系兩種入學管道的學校，自2005年開始，高醫醫學院進行課程改革，整合基礎和臨床醫學教育課程，並強調問題導向學習。本調查性研究的目的在於：評估和比較接受醫學課程整合教育第一學期的醫學系三年級和學士後醫學系一年級醫學生之焦慮和憂鬱程度；檢驗兩系醫學生在兩次評估中焦慮和憂鬱程度是否有所變化。本研究以前後相隔一個半月時間，邀請兩系醫學生填寫兩次「曾氏心理健康量表(Zung's Anxiety and Depression Scale)」以了解其焦慮和憂鬱的程度，以焦慮和憂鬱分量表的原始總分，和依照常模轉換為百分等級後列於焦慮和憂鬱最嚴重的前百分之十（定義為具有高度焦慮／憂鬱）的人數比例，來比較兩系醫學生在接受醫學課程整合教育第一學期時焦慮和憂鬱程度的差異，以及前後兩次評估嚴重程度的變化。兩次評估結果發現：無論是原始總分或具有高度焦慮/憂鬱的人數比例，皆顯示醫三同學比後醫一同學具有較嚴重的焦慮和憂鬱程度；無論醫三或後醫一同學，前後兩次的焦慮和憂鬱分數皆未有明顯的變化；高比例第一次評估為高焦慮和高憂鬱的醫學生，在第二次評估中仍維持高程度的焦慮和憂鬱。對於醫三和後醫一醫學生接受醫學課程整合教育時焦慮和憂鬱程度的差異，研究者提出可能的解釋，並建議針對接受醫學課程整合教育的醫學生，提供他們所特別需要的輔導計畫。

Multisensor Processing Algorithms For Underwater Dipole Localization And Tracking Using Mems Artificial Lateral-Line Sensors, Saunvit Pandya, Yingchen Yang, Douglas L. Jones, Jonathan Engel, Chang Liu

Mechanical Engineering Faculty Publications

An engineered artificial lateral-line system has been recently developed, consisting of a 16-element array of finely spaced MEMS hot-wire flow sensors. This represents a new class of underwater flow sensing instruments and necessitates the development of rapid, efficient, and robust signal processing algorithms. In this paper, we report on the development and implementation of a set of algorithms that assist in the localization and tracking of vibrational dipole sources underwater. Using these algorithms, accurate tracking of the trajectory of a moving dipole source has been demonstrated successfully.

Ipo Firm Executives, Compensation, And Selling, Jaemin Kim, Kuntara Pukthuanthong Dec 2006

Ipo Firm Executives, Compensation, And Selling, Jaemin Kim, Kuntara Pukthuanthong

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

IPO firm executives are significant net sellers in the year immediately following the IPO year. Two significant variables affecting their sales are the number of stock options exercised during the year and the number of shares held at the end of the preceding year. Contrary to the findings of the previous studies, the number of stock options and the number of restricted stocks turn out to be insignificant. The evidence suggests that IPO executives sell mainly to realize a significant part of their undiversified wealth; however, they do not sell to explicitly hedge against stock option grants or to exploit …

Letter From The Editor-In-Chief, Allan Young

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

The study of entrepreneurial theory and practice has now reached a significant stage at many schools of management and business. However, it appears as though even at those schools which are supposedly highly ranked, the financial aspects of entrepreneurial pursuits seem to be given rather short shrift in comparison with other aspects of entrepreneurial concerns. Nevertheless, for some time now research into IPOs, the activities of venture capitalists (so-called reputable vis-a-vis non-reputable), liquidity concerns of fledgling enterprises, venture capital arms of banks, financial aspects of business angel activities, and other such aspects of financial entrepreneurship have been well within the …

Assessing The Profitability And Riskiness Of Small Business Lenders In The Banking Industry, James W. Kolari, Charles C. Ou, G. Hwan Shin Dec 2006

Assessing The Profitability And Riskiness Of Small Business Lenders In The Banking Industry, James W. Kolari, Charles C. Ou, G. Hwan Shin

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

Two alternatives research hypotheses concerning how small business lending affects bank profitability are tested. The specialization hypothesis argues for higher profitability than other banks due to increased focus on small business lending, whereas the diversification hypothesis asserts that small business lenders' profitability will be lower than other more diversified banks. Using the rate of return on assets as the profit measure, we find that small business exposure tends to have neutral or positive effects on bank profitability after taking into account bank risk. Using efficient frontier analyses that focus on the rate of return on equity, we find that business …

Angel Investing: Changing Strategies During Volatile Times, Jeffrey E. Sohl

The Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance

Changing conditions in the angel market offer a unique opportunity to further knowledge and understanding about angel investing in the US during times of economic volatility. To identify trends in the angel market, this research examines changes in characteristics and investment behavior during a time of market expansion and contraction (2000 to 2001). While business angels remain the leading source of seed capital for business ventures, depressed yield rates and increased due diligence indicate that investors are retreating to more fundamental approaches.
