Abstract:
Distortion-product emissions (DPEs) are tonal responses that may be detected in the ear canal when the ear is stimulated simultaneously by two tones that are closely spaced in frequency. In experimental animals, DPEs are reduced in amplitude or are eliminated when cochlear function is disrupted. This association has not been investigated in human subjects. This study was designed to investigate the relation of cochlear status, as determined by pure-tone behavioral thresholds, to DPE amplitude in human subjects. Forty men were selected as subjects. Twenty had normal hearing and 20 had high-freq

Abstract:
<p>Normal audiometric thresholds following noise exposure have generally been considered as an indication of a recovered cochlea and intact peripheral auditory system, yet recent animal work has challenged this classic assumption. Moderately noise-exposed animals have been shown to have permanent loss of synapses on inner hair cells (IHCs) and permanent damage to auditory nerve fibers (ANFs), specifically the low-spontaneous rate fibers (low-SR), despite normal electrophysiological thresholds. Loss of cochlear synapses, known as cochlear synaptopathy, disrupts auditory-nerve signaling, which m

Dynamics of social processes in populations, such as the spread of emotions, influence, language, mass movements, and warfare (often referred to individually and collectively as contagions), are increasingly studied because of their social, political, and economic impacts. Discrete dynamical systems (discrete in time and discrete in agent states) are often used to quantify contagion propagation in populations that are cast as graphs, where vertices represent agents and edges represent agent interactions.

Fractals are a relatively recent development in mathematics that show promise as a foundation for models of complex systems like natural porous media.

The heterogeneous method can lead to large, uncontrolled variations in porosity. It is proposed that use of the homogeneous algorithm might lead to more reproducible applications.

Author:Weng, Li-Jen Advisor:Su, Yu-Hui Month/Year:June,2002 There are two main differences between Taiwan and other country’s regulation about disclosing financial forecast information. First, Taiwan’s regulation forces firms to disclose financial forecast, other than disclosing voluntarily. Second, Taiwan’s regulation is more specific about the renewal of financial forecast. Due to the regulation was amende

We then compare the evaluated results from opioid abusers (refer as drug abusers) and general persons. By different statistical methods, such as t-test, multiple regression, ANCOVA, quantile regression and etc., we shall construct the criteria for the threshold of the SSRT. The objects of the study were collected from the Correctional Institutions, hospital and local community in northern Taiwan. There were 204 drug abusers, 8 Methadone mai

The local governments have implemented many related strategies in order to solve these problems. However, the parking problem cannot be solved sufficiently. The reason is that many types of travel behavior including parking location choice involve social interaction effect, leading society to deadlock in inferior equilibri

碩士<br>國立中山大學<br>財務管理學系研究所<br>97<br>Previous researches find that advertising expenditure and performance can significantly influence fund flows. With a unique data from Securities Investment Trust and Consulting Association (SITCA) of Taiwan, we can use monthly data of exact purchasing amounts, redemption amounts and advertising expenditures to gain more insight into investors’ investment behavior. We examine the impact of advertising on mutual fund investors’ behavior and the performance-flow relationship. This paper differs from the existing literature, which only concerned with the average

In addition, TWSE enhance the transparency of short selling, so investors have more information to examine the market trend. Therefore, we try to use the different proxy variables of short interest to measure the relationship between short interest and return, and find o

Abstract:
Potassium atoms in selected high-lying Rydberg states (n $<$ 1200) are used as a tool to probe threshold behavior in electron-molecule collisions. Collisions with non-polar electron attaching molecules such as CCl$\sb4$ are dominated by electron capture in a binary interaction between the Rydberg electron and target molecule allowing the study of electron attachment at electron energies of only a few $\mu$eV. Analysis of the data shows the cross section for electron capture is consistent with the Wigner threshold law for an inelastic s-wave process. Collisions with polar molecules can lead to

Abstract:
碩士<br>國防管理學院<br>國防財務資源研究所<br>96<br>In traditional financial theory, the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) asserts that prices on traded asserts already reflect all information, and it is impossible for investors to consistently outperform the overall stock markets. Investors’ reactions are random and arbitrageurs eliminate the effect of irrational actions. The higher proportion of retail investors causes the existence of anomalous price phenomena in Taiwan stock market. In this research, we will study the threshold effect of crude oil price on investors’ irrational behaviors, such as represent
