Abstract:
Carbon dioxide emission reduction has been a popular topic in recent years because it alleviates the current global warming crisis. Hence, there is an urgent need to adapt current technologies to help reduce carbon dioxide emissions before the global warming situation worsens. Amongst carbon dioxide reduction technologies, Electric Vehicle (EV) and renewable energy technologies are most likely to assist in improving this current status of the environmental issue in coming years. Due to increased interest in energy storage systems, such as EV and renewable energy, there is a pending need to improve the existing DC-DC converters used. The DC-DC converter systems used at present are usually bulky, costly and inefficient due to their low operating frequency. Hence, by increasing the operating frequency of the DC-DC converter, the size of the passive elements can be greatly reduced. Among these passive elements, the transformer occupies the most important role indisputably. A High Frequency Coaxial Transformer (HFCT), with a range of 1 kW to 20 kW was designed and introduced in this dissertation. The operating frequency was raised to between 100 kHz and 300 kHz in order to achieve high power densities and high performance efficiency. However, the coupling capacitance accompanied by an increased operating frequency (which couples high frequency noise between the primary and secondary windings) can cause serious common mode problems. Hence, the Faraday shield was placed between the windings of introduced transformers. This reduces the coupling capacitance and consequently the electromagnetic interference. The shielding effect analysis has been conducted to verify the HFCT performance with the insertion of the Faraday shield.<br>Thesis (PhD Doctorate)<br>Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)<br>Griffith School of Environment<br>Science, Environment, Engineering and Technology<br>Full Text

Abstract:
Pour protéger la ressource sol, il est nécessaire de prévoir les conséquences des activités humaines et du changement global sur l'évolution des sols notamment en modélisant cette dernière. Dans cette étude, nous avons démontré la sensibilité de SoilGen2.24 au climat, à l’usage des terres et à la réduction du travail du sol et identifié trois de ses principales limites, à savoir, certains processus trop simplifiés, certains processus manquants et une hypothèse de volume constant du sol. Ainsi, nous avons 1) construit le premier modèle d'évolution du sol entièrement modulaire, OC-VGEN, en intégrant dans VSoil, les processus du modèle SoilGen2.24; 2) testé différents formalismes pour certains des processus clés responsables de la distribution verticale de Corg, à savoir la distribution verticale des racines, la bioturbation et l'évolution verticale du taux de décomposition de Corg; 3) proposé un module mécaniste du changement de volume pour la modélisation de l'évolution du sol à court et moyen terme. OC-VGEN a été utilisé pour reproduire et projeter l’évolution, à l’échelle du siècle, de la distribution verticale de Corg pour des Luvisols ayant connu des historiques d'utilisation des terres et de travail du sol différents. Nous avons montré que 1) l'impact des processus de rétroaction sur la distribution verticale de Corg n'est pas négligeable; 2) l'usage des terres et le travail du sol influencent les rétroactions internes entraînant un impact indirect sur la dynamique de Corg; 3) le manque de connaissances sur les processus a une plus grande influence sur les trajectoires d’évolution des sols que les incertitudes sur les scénarios climatiques ou d'usage des terres<br>Soil is a critical natural resource that inherently changes through time. To preserve the soil and protect it, it is necessary to predict the consequences of human activities and global change on soil evolution. This can be achieved using soil evolution modelling. In this study, we demonstrated the sensitivity of SoilGen to climate, land use and tillage reduction and identified three of its main limitations, namely some over-simplified processes, some missing processes and a simplifying assumption of constant soil volume. To overcome these limitations, we 1) built up the first fully modular soil evolution model, OC-VGEN, by using the process of SoilGen2.24 model in a modelling platform, VSoil; 2) tested different formalisms for some of the key processes responsible for the OC depth distribution, namely the root depth distribution, bioturbation and the depth evolution of the OC decomposition rate; 3) proposed a first, mechanistic approach to account for soil volume change in a short to medium time scale soil evolution modelling. OC-VGEN was used to reproduce and project the depth distribution of OC at a century time scale for Luvisols having experienced different histories of land use and tillage. We demonstrated that, at this time scale, 1) the impact of feedback processes on OC depth distribution are not negligible; 2) land use and tillage, beside their direct impact on the input of organic matter to soil, influence the internal feedbacks leading to an indirect impact on OC dynamics; 3) when projecting soil evolution, the lack of knowledge on the process definition has a larger influence on the projected trajectories than uncertainties on climate or land use scenarios

Abstract:
[EN] This research work constitutes a first approximation to the study of the viability of carbonic fertirrigation in citrus fruits as a CO2 drain potential. To that effect, carbonic fertirrigation experiments were carried out with citrus fruits of the Nadarcott variety from the year 2010 to the year 2015. The study required the monitoring of parameters related to the leaf surface, the phenological state of the trees, the ground, the leaves and the fruits of the tested trees. The analysis of the results obtained showed there were no significant differences in the size and quality of the fruits irrigated with CO2. Differences were neither observed in the trees' vegetative development nor in the advance or delay of the blooming and formation of fruits. The analysis of the grounds revealed that the content in organic matter of the grounds irrigated with CO2 was higher than in the grounds used as reference in at least two tenths of a percentage. Similarly, it was noted that the content in iron in the leaves of the trees irrigated with CO2 was significantly higher than in the trees used as reference. The statistical analysis carried out confirmed these conclusions, noting a 24% increase over the average value in the case of the organic matter in the ground and of a 16% in the case of the iron content in the leaves. Both factors indicate that carbonic fertirrigation does have relevant agronomic repercussions, especially on the organic fraction of the ground and on the iron soluble fraction. Various authors confirm the mobilisation of the iron produced by the decrease in the pH of the irrigation water - this study confirms this fact and strengthens the usage of carbon dioxide as a potential substitute of strong acids normally used for this purpose. The increase in the content of the ground's organic matter is an especially interesting result, as it was not expected, even though some authors have related the decrease of soil respiration to different cultural practices that improve the ground's texture. The interaction between the CO2 of the irrigation water and the content in organic matter in the ground and, therefore, soil respiration must be studied in further detail in a future, with experiences specially aimed at valuing the repercussions of this practice on both parameters.<br>[ES] Este trabajo de investigación constituye una primera aproximación al estudio de viabilidad de la fertirrigación carbónica en cítricos como potencial sumidero de CO2. A tal efecto, se llevaron a cabos experimentos de fertirrigación carbónica con cítricos de la variedad Nadarcott desde el año 2010 hasta el año 2015. El estudio requirió la monitorización de parámetros relacionados con la superficie foliar, los estados fenológicos de los árboles, el suelo, las hojas y los frutos de los árboles ensayados. El análisis de los resultados obtenidos mostró que no había diferencias significativas en el tamaño y calidad de los frutos regados con CO2. Tampoco se observaron diferencias en el desarrollo vegetativo de los árboles ni en el avance o retraso de la floración y formación de los frutos. Los análisis de los suelos revelaron que el contenido en materia orgánica de los suelos regados con CO2 era más alto que los suelos tomados como referencia en al menos dos décimas porcentuales. De la misma manera, se observó que el contenido en hierro en las hojas de los árboles regados con CO2 era significativamente más alto que en los árboles tomados como referencia. Los análisis estadísticos realizados confirmaron estas conclusiones, observándose un incremento del 24% sobre el valor promedio en el caso de la materia orgánica del suelo y del 16% en el caso del contenido en hierro de las hojas. Ambos factores indican que la fertirrigación carbónica sí que tiene repercusiones agronómicas relevantes, especialmente sobre la fracción orgánica del suelo y sobre la fracción soluble de hierro. Diversos autores confirman la movilización del hierro producido por la disminución del pH del agua de riego; este estudio confirma este hecho y refuerza la utilización del dióxido de carbono como potencial sustituto de los ácidos fuertes normalmente utilizados para este cometido. El aumento en el contenido de materia orgánica del suelo es un resultado especialmente interesante, pues no era esperado pese a que algunos autores han relacionado la disminución de la respiración edáfica con diferentes prácticas culturales que mejoran la textura del suelo. La interacción entre el CO2 del agua de riego y el contenido en materia orgánica del suelo y, por tanto, la respiración edáfica deben de ser estudiados con más detalle, en un futuro con experiencias especialmente dirigidas a valorar las repercusiones de esta práctica sobre ambos parámetros.<br>[CAT] Aquest treball d'investigació constitueix una primera aproximació a l'estudi de la viabilitat de la fertirrigació carbònica en cítrics com a potencial embornal de carboni. Amb aquesta finalitat es dugueren a terme experiments de fertirrigació carbònica amb cítrics de la varietat Nadorcott des de l'any 2010 fins l'any 2015. L'estudi va requerir la monitoratge de paràmetres relacionats amb la superfície foliar, els estat fenològics del arbres, el sòl, les fulles i el fruits dels arbres assatjats. L'anàlisi dels resultats obtinguts mostrà que no hi havia diferències significatives en el tamany i qualitat del fruits regats amb CO2. Tampoc es varen observar diferències en el desenvolupament vegetatiu dels arbres ni en l'avanç o retard de la floració i formació dels fruits. Les anàlisis dels sòls revelaren que el contingut de matèria orgànica dels sòls regats amb CO2 era més alt que els sòls considerats com a referència en, almenys, dues dècimes percentuals. De la mateixa manera, s'observà que el contingut de ferro en les fulles dels arbres regats amb CO2 era significativament més alt que en els arbres referència. Les anàlisis estadístiques realitzades confirmaren aquestes conclusions, observant-se un increment del 24% sobre el valor mitjà en el cas de la matèria orgànica del sòl i del 16% en el cas del contingut en ferro de les fulles. Tots dos factors indiquen que la fertirrigació carbònica sí que té repercusions agronòmiques rellevants, especialment, sobre la fracció orgànica del sòl i la fracció soluble de ferro. Diferents autors confirmen la mobilització del ferro produit per la disminució del pH de l'agua de reg; aquest estudi confirma aquest fet i reforça l'ús del diòxid de carboni com a potencial subsutitut dels àcids forts normalment gastats per a aquesta tasca. L'augment en el contingut de matèria orgànica del sòl és un resultat especialment interessant, ja que no era esperat, malgrat que alguns autors han relacionat la disminució de la respiració edàfica amb diferents pràctiques culturals que milloren la textura del sòl. La interacció entre el CO2 de l'aigua de reg i el contingut en matèria orgànica del sòl i, per tant, la respiració edàfica han de ser estudiats amb més detall en un futur amb experiències especialment dirigides a valorar les repercussions d'aquesta pràctica sobre tots dos paràmetres.<br>Tarazona Díez, JV.

The Kyoto Protocol, however, comes as the concrete awareness of the need of acting towards the reduction of the greenhouse effect, which causes such changes in our weather, noticed, mainly, through the global warming. The main means designed by that international treaty is the possibility of compensating the emissions of the gases accountable for the greenhouse effect (GEG Greenhouse Effect Gases), which is possible only through the transaction of the Credits of Emission Reduction - CERs, commonly known as Carbon Credits. Its example was followed, individually, by several other countries, being its idea adopted, even by Brazil, most accurately by São Paulo Estate, which improved its concept in the reduction of the concentration in the atmosphere of some polluting gases and of particulated material. However, a lot is asked about the compatibility of the above mentioned Protocol inside the principles and main regulations of our Environmental Law, and also, about what would be the environmental civil responsibility of the people engaged in the projects, related to a possible not fulfilling of the reduction of the emissions, as declared in each case. In this paper, we will demonstrate the perfect compatibility among the projects that give rise to the getting of the Credits of Reduced Atmospheric Emissions and our main laws related to the environment protection, as well as to the Environmental Law Principles. Finally, we will also, as an important part of this paper, analyses the environmental civil responsibility of the people in charge of keeping the commitments made when a project is implemented, aiming at obtaining the Credits of the Reduced Atmospheric Emissions<br>Apesar de somente nas últimas décadas o problema relativo às mudanças climáticas ter ganhado a repercussão que lhe é devida, não é de agora a preocupação da Comunidade Internacional na adoção de medidas para mitigação dessa alteração ao equilíbrio ecossistêmico. O Protocolo de Quioto representa a concretização da necessidade de se agir de modo a reduzir o chamado efeito estufa, causador de tais mudanças em nosso clima, sentidas, principalmente, com o aquecimento global. O principal instrumento idealizado por este Tratado Internacional encontra-se na possibilidade de se compensar as emissões dos gases responsáveis pelo efeito estufa (GEE Gases de Efeito Estufa), ato que é possível apenas via transação das Certidões de Redução de Emissões - RCEs, popularmente conhecidas como Créditos de Carbono. Seu exemplo foi seguido ainda individualmente, por outros diversos países, chegando sua idéia a ser adotada inclusive pelo Brasil, mais precisamente pelo Estado de São Paulo, que aprimorou seu conceito na redução da concentração na atmosfera de alguns gases poluentes e de material particulado. Entretanto, muito se questiona doutrinariamente acerca da compatibilidade do referido instrumento com nosso Direito Ambiental, princípios e principais normas, e ainda sobre qual seria a responsabilidade civil ambiental daqueles envolvidos nos projetos, frente a um eventual não cumprimento da redução das emissões, conforme declarado em cada caso. Demonstrar-se-á, ao longo do texto, a perfeita compatibilidade entre os projetos que dão ensejo à obtenção dos Créditos de Emissões Atmosféricas Reduzidas e as nossas principais leis relativas à proteção do meio ambiente, bem como aos princípios de Direito Ambiental. Por fim, sendo ainda o foco principal do presente estudo, será analisada a responsabilidade civil ambiental dos responsáveis pela manutenção dos compromissos acordados quando da implementação de um projeto visando à obtenção dos Créditos de Emissões Atmosféricas Reduzidas

博士<br>國立臺灣師範大學<br>健康促進與衛生教育學系<br>100<br>The purpose of this study was to create and evaluate the efffectiveness of global warming and carbon reduction intervention curriculums among junior high students. This study used convenience sampling to select 8 classes (4 classes for experimental group, and 4 classes for control group) in ninth grade of Beian Junior High School in Taipei to conduct the education intervention. The questionnaire survey included 8 classes 251 students in Beian Junior High School, 4 classes 139 students in Taipei Municipal Hongdao Junior High School, and 4 classes, 119 students in Yu-hsien Junior High School in Hsinchu City. The intervention used self-compiled teaching modules in eight topics. Questionnaires were distributed at pre-test and post-test.One-way Analysis of variance was conducted. The main research findings were as follows: (1) The experimental group showed significant improvement in knowledge, attitude, environmental sensitivity, and behavior intention of energy conservation and carbon emission reduction after education intervention. (2) The experimental group showed attitude and environment sensitivity are significantly correlated with behavior intention of energy conservation and carbon emission reduction. The subjects’ attitude and environment sensitivity can significantly predict their behavior intention of energy conservation and carbon emission reduction. (3) The experimental group showed satisfactions with global warming and carbon reduction intervention program. In conclusion, the study demonstrated that the global warming and carbon reduction intervention program was effective. It is encouraging to see the sign of behavior change in energy use through the intervention of health education program. Suggestions drawn from this study will be provided to edit the new version of health education textbook of junior high school in Taiwan.

Abstract:
Global warming is currently a major challenge facing the world. There are widespread ongoing efforts in the form of summits, conferences, etc., to find satisfactory ways of surmounting this challenge. The basic objective of all such efforts can be summarized as conception and formation of protocols to reduce the pace of global carbon levels. Game theory and mechanism design provide a natural modeling tool for capturing the strategic dynamics involved in global warming related problems. This dissertation explores for the first time the use of voting mechanisms in the context of solving the central problems, namely, allocation of emission caps and reduction quotas to strategic emitting agents (countries). The contribution of this dissertation is two-fold. The first contribution is to develop an elegant game theoretic model that accurately captures the strategic interactions among different emitting agents in a global warming setting. This model facilitates a convenient way of exploring a mechanism design approach for solving important allocation problems in the global warming context. The second contribution is to propose and explore a novel approach, based on voting mechanisms, to solve two problems: (1) allocating emission caps and (2) allocating reduction quotas to strategic agents. Our work investigates the use of voting mechanisms that satisfy four desirable properties: (1) non-dictatorship, (2) strategy-proofness, (3) efficiency, and (4) anonymity. In particular, we explore the median selection, maximum order statistic selection, and general Kth order statistic selection voting mechanisms. Our results clearly show that only trivial allocations satisfy all the above properties simultaneously. We next investigate the use of voting mechanisms for the dual problem, namely, allocation of emission reductions to emitting agents. Here, we show that non-trivial allocations are possible, however an important property, individual rationality, might be compromised. The investigations in the thesis bring out certain limitations in applying voting mechanisms that satisfy all the four properties above. Nevertheless, the insights obtained provide valuable guidelines for solving emission allocation related problems in a principled and informed way.

碩士<br>國立臺灣海洋大學<br>海洋環境資訊學系<br>98<br>When it comes to national development strategy, global warming and energy saving serve as the crucial issues for every country to increase its competiveness. Education is the key for a sustainable development. Under the international pressure, Taiwan needs to promote fundamental education regarding the related issues. Due to global warming and energy saving covering numorous aspects, teachers then are suggested to formulate a systematic instruction. This research aims to investigate junior high school students’ attitudes towards global warming and energy saving. Mind-mapping strategies, which can cultivate learners’ creativeness, are adopted as the research instrument. The comparison of two groups were made after seven experimental teaching lessons. The experimental group had undergone mind-mapping instruction for nine weeks, when the comparison group had been taught by didactic insturction for the same period of time. To analyzing the learning efficiency of junior high school students towards global warming and energy saving, the data was collected by using questionnaires, evaluation test, semi-structured interview and mind-mapping charts. The results shows the students are in lack of receiving global warming and energy saving eduction. They not only have fundamental misconceptions, but also possess passive and indifferent attitude towards the issues. The situation can be improved after implementing mind-mapping instruction. From the results of mind-mapping charts, the distinction can be found in sex differences, topics, and synthetic learning ability. Moreover, there are positive relationship among the cognition of global warming, grades and mind-mapping charts. There are 70% of the students showing postive and satisfactory attitudes towards the mind-mapping insturction. Mind-mapping instruction is thus provided a high feasibility and practicability for teaching the complex issues of global warming and energy saving.

碩士<br>國立臺北教育大學<br>自然科學教育學系碩士班<br>100<br>The influence of computer game learning on the concept of global warming and carbon reduction for the fifth-grade elementary school students ABSTRACT This study was to explore the effect of a computer educational game of Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction (ESCR) on students learning about related concept and the growth of environmental awareness. Participants were students of five classes in an elementary school in Taoyuan County, Taiwan. Four of these were assigned as experimental group; one class was assigned as contrast group. The experimental group was taught with a self-developed ESCR 3D computer educational game. An instrument, “Concept Achievement Test of ESCR,” was developed and used for pre- and post- tests for observing the growth of concept learning. The “New Ecological Paradigm” and the “Questionnaire of Students’ Experience of the Computer Educational Game Learning” were used as post-tests for examining the effect of the effect of the computer educational game learning. Statistics methods included paired t-test, ANOVA and independent sample one-factor ANCOVA, were used for data analysis. Students’ responses related to the computer educational game were also collected and described. The findings of this study are as follows. 1. After children learned with the computer educational game, their concept of ESCR was significantly improved. 2. Gender effect was significant on how well students learned with the computer learning games. When, the pre-test score “Concept Achievement Test of ESCR” for boy and girl were between 16.31 and 23.42, there was no significant different of gender. However, when score was higher than 23.42, the concept learning outcome for girl was better than boy. On the contrast, if pre-test score was lower than 16.31, the learning concept of outcome for boy was better than girl. 3. When grouping students according to their pretest scores of “Concept Achievement Test of ESCR,” students’ learning on ESCR showed low score group learned better than those in middle and high scoring groups significantly. 4. When grouping students according to their scores in report card and used these scores as the covariate, students’ learning on ESCR showed middle and high score groups learned better than those in low scoring groups significantly. 5. The posttests of the “New Ecological Paradigm” of experimental and contrast groups, showed a significantly positive effect when students learned with the ESCR computer educational game. 6. No gender difference of learning was found when observed with the “New Ecological Paradigm” after learning with the ESCR computer educational game.

When it comes to national development strategy, global warming and energy saving serve as the crucial issues for every country to increase its competitiveness. Education is the key to sustainable development. This study aims to understand the knowledge,attitude, and behavioral intention toward global warming, energy conservation and carbon reduction among fifth and sixth grade students in Wantan Township, Pingtung, as well as the correlation among the three factors. Questionnaires had been adopted for the purpose of this study. A total of 892 students were surveyed, and 815(91.37%) questionnaires were collected as effective samples. The study employed SPSS 12.0 statistical software to analyze the data with the tools including basic descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, LSD method, Dunnett T3 method, and Pearson’s correlation analysis. The results showed that fifth and sixth grade elementary school students in Wantan Township had considerable knowledge of global warming, energy conservation and carbon reduction. Analysis indicated that their knowledge significantly differed across variables including grade,school size, and parents’ education background, but there were no significant difference among the variables of gender and parents’ occupations. Furthermore, students tended to have positive attitude towards global warming, energy conservation and carbon reduction, but there were no significant difference among the variables of gender, grade, school size,parents’ education level and parents’ occupations. Students also tended to have positive behavioral intentions toward global warming, energy conservation and carbon reduction, and their behavioral intentions differed significantly by their grade and parents’ education background. Knowledge,attitude, and behavioral intention toward global warming, energy conservation and carbon reduction were all positively correlated among the students.

碩士<br>立德大學<br>資源環境研究所<br>97<br>Environmental education is an important part of global environmental change that people face. The study takes elementary school teachers as its target and explores the current situation and connection among awareness of global warming, attitude of energy, and behavior of the energy saving and carbon reduction. This study used stratified random sampling approach to investigate. Study samples were selected from 500 elementary school teachers of Chang-hua County. A total of 476 valid samples were responded. The obtained data were tested by descriptive statistics, independent t test, single factor ANOVA, the Scheffe method, Pearson product-moment correlation, simple linear regression, and multiple stepwise regressions. The result of study shows most teachers obtain information about global warming from TV, newspaper, and Internet, the less are from the school’s courses. The integral expression of teachers toward awareness of global warming, attitude of energy, and energy saving is above intermediate level. Some teachers participate in workshops related to global warming. The realization they show on this topic is better than who do not participate in such workshops. The elder teachers are inadequate for global warming while the middle-aged teachers (41 ~ 50 years old) who experience more and not retire yet are excellent for practicing this isuue.
