Full textAbstract:
We examine to what extent Europe´s stock markets are integrated, and how this can be measured. We review 54 empirical studies and find an overemphasis on price-based measures and a need for more quantity-based studies. We update the Baele et al (2004) study on investment funds' equity holdings to March 2006 for ten euro area and four non-euro area countries, provide additional quantity based evidence, and discuss integration theories. Our results indicate a decline in home bias particularly after the advent of the euro. We conclude that although European stock markets have undergone significant developments, the level of European integration is below expectations and there is a high joint integration with the U.S. (author's abstract)Series: EI Working Papers / Europainstitut

"Electronic research administration : reflections on research management and administration (RMA) in UK universities and in particular on electronic research administration (ERA) and its perceived effect on the quality and quantity of research." Thesis, University of Sunderland, 2012. http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/3290/.
Full textAbstract:
Research Management and Administration (RMA) is a developing profession. Many RMA staff work in Universities and other Research Organisations, but they can also be found in agencies that fund research; in fact anywhere where research is undertaken or managed. RMA can be defined as “the leadership, management or support of research activities” and one area of endeavour that RMAs are involved with is Electronic Research Administration (ERA): “IT system(s) designed specifically to support research management or administration”. The aim of my professional doctorate is two-fold: to show my contribution to the development of RMA as a profession in the UK; and to demonstrate my practical contribution to advancing ERA systems including undertaking research to address the question: “is it perceived by RMAs and academic staff that ERA can affect the quality and quantity of research?” Over the years (1997-2011) I have been involved in and led many initiatives that have helped to shape RMA, such that it is now recognised as a profession in the UK. I chart my role in the development of RMA in the UK through the growth of the professional Association for Research Managers and Administrators (ARMA) and other related initiatives. The second strand of this doctoral work reflects on the specific ERA developments that I have introduced at the University of Sunderland; collectively known as GRS On-line. In particular it highlights how and why the various Sunderland GRS systems were initiated, developed, enhanced and sometimes superseded. Two elements of GRS On-line are discussed in detail and reflected upon as case studies: Costing & Pricing, which underwent a number of major changes; and Publications Information, which evolved in a more organic way. The impact of both areas is considered in terms of benefits and detriments to research endeavour. A mixed methods study of the perceived effects of ERA systems across the UK on the quality and quantity of research undertaken is also conducted. This report presents the results of the Sunderland case studies which are complemented by the analysis of a series of national questionnaires looking at the perceptions of research managers and administrators, and academic staff regarding ERA systems. From the evidence presented it is shown that both RMA and ERA are perceived to have a positive impact on both the quality and quantity of research undertaken. Furthermore, the evidence base for the value of research management and administration as a profession is advanced; not only for individual RMAs, but also to the research community as a whole.

Full textAbstract:
Material supply systems have for a long time been regarded as an important function with strong potential to increase the performance of companies in different industries. Consequently, substantial research has been conducted in the field. However, in the pharmaceutical industry within research and development plants, material supply systems have historically not been a prioritized function. Therefore, there is a research gap regarding material supply systems in that peculiar context. This study aims to fill that gap by investigating how a material supply system could be designed and which factors are critical to achieve a cost-efficient service level within a research and development plant in the pharmaceutical industry. To do so, a single case study has been conducted at a Swedish pharmaceutical company’s research and development plant. An abductive approach has been applied to both test if the general design principles developed in other industries and business functions can be applied to this context. Further, context specific factors affecting the material supply system design needed to be identified and investigated to adapt the general design principles to the specific context by generalizing data. The empirical data was collected by utilizing focus groups, interviews, observations and documents. The findings yielded that there is a substantial potential for improvement of material supply systems within the context of this study. The existing decentralized inventory structure at the case company was a particularly vital aspect that hindered the system from operating cost-efficiently in relation to the service level and a centralization is crucial to improve. Further, calibration and a general decrease of safety stocks, order points and order quantities is essential to uphold a consistent service level at a justifiable cost at the case company. The general design principles and formulas retrieved from the theoretical framework was partly applicable in the context of this study but needed some adjustments. Especially the low volume articles with high variety in consumption rate was not suitable to be managed by the existing methods and needed another approach. Further, the context establishes high requirements on system dynamics, it comes with boundaries due to laws regulating the industry, and companies in the context generally need to be better at aligning their design factors to the purpose. The result of this study adds valuable content to the research field and fills the gap for material supply systems in the context of research and development plants in the pharmaceutical industry. Further studies are needed in this field to investigate how articles with low and varying demands can be managed within material supply systems cost-efficiently and with high service levels.

Full textAbstract:
Following the attacks of September 11th, the growing fear of a bioterrorist attack emerged within the United States and pushed the threat of bioterrorism to the forefront of the public health emergency preparedness and response agenda. Despite the investment of more than six billion dollars in federal funding towards emergency preparedness and response initiatives, well defined and broadly accepted performance measures for determining the efficacy of these systems have yet to be established. Because of the complex and dynamic conditions under which emergency preparedness and response systems must perform, it is becoming apparent that traditional measures of evaluating the performance of public health systems simply will not suffice. The inability to accurately capture and quantify this information has created knowledge gaps which hinder our ability to measure our true level of preparedness and ultimately weakens our response capacity. It is therefore essential that we develop methodologies that enable us to establish valid metrics which capture the information needed to quantify the capacity and efficacy of these systems. As a key information sharing and communication component of North Carolinaâs Public Health Information Network (NC PHIN), the North Carolina Health Alert Network (NCHAN) serves as a promising means to measure emergency preparedness and response capacity. The goal of this thesis is to present a methodology for extending approaches in operations research and systems engineering to better understand the value of emergency preparedness and response systems, such as NCHAN. Ultimately we seek to determine how NCHAN has aided to emergency preparedness and response by quantifying the added value of the system to the greater âpreparedness and responseâ process. We demonstrate the use of statistical analysis, simulation and the IDEF0 mapping process as valid tools for modeling and quantifying the less-tangible aspects of emergency preparedness and response. We find that although the capacity exists within NCHAN to increase emergency preparedness and response, other factors, such as usage variability amongst NCHAN users, lack of integration with other NC PHIN components, and limited capacity of tangible system resources (such as labs, funding and public health practitioners) limits the efficacy of NCHAN. These findings suggest that user standardization, component integration and proper resource allocation will be necessary in order to realize the true value of emergency preparedness and response systems.

Full textAbstract:
Modelling the tails of distributions is important in many fields, such as environmental
science, hydrology, insurance, engineering and finance, where the risk of unusually large
or small events are of interest. This thesis applies extreme value models in neonatal and
finance studies and develops novel extreme value modelling for financial applications,
to overcome issues associated with the dependence induced by volatility clustering and
threshold choice.
The instability of preterm infants stimulates the interests in estimating the underlying
variability of the physiology measurements typically taken on neonatal intensive care
patients. The stochastic volatility model (SVM), fitted using Bayesian inference and a
particle filter to capture the on-line latent volatility of oxygen concentration, is used in
estimating the variability of medical measurements of preterm infants to highlight instabilities
resulting from their under-developed biological systems. Alternative volatility
estimators are considered to evaluate the performance of the SVM estimates, the results
of which suggest that the stochastic volatility model provides a good estimator of the
variability of the oxygen concentration data and therefore may be used to estimate the
instantaneous latent volatility for the physiological measurements of preterm infants.
The classical extreme value distribution, generalized pareto distribution (GPD), with
the peaks-over-threshold (POT) method to ameliorate the impact of dependence in the
extremes to infer the extreme quantile of the SVM based variability estimates.
Financial returns typically show clusters of observations in the tails, often termed
“volatility clustering” which creates challenges when applying extreme value models,
since classical extreme value theory assume independence of underlying process. Explicit
modelling on GARCH-type dependence behaviour of extremes is developed by
implementing GARCH conditional variance structure via the extreme value model parameters.
With the combination of GEV and GARCH models, both simulation and
empirical results show that the combined model is better suited to explain the extreme
quantiles. Another important benefit of the proposed model is that, as a one stage model,
it is advantageous in making inferences and accounting for all uncertainties much easier
than the traditional two stage approach for capturing this dependence.
To tackle the challenge threshold choice in extreme value modelling and the generally
asymmetric distribution of financial data, a two tail GPD mixture model is proposed with
Bayesian inference to capture both upper and lower tail behaviours simultaneously. The
proposed two tail GPD mixture modelling approach can estimate both thresholds, along
with other model parameters, and can therefore account for the uncertainty associated
with the threshold choice in latter inferences. The two tail GPD mixture model provides
a very flexible model for capturing all forms of tail behaviour, potentially allowing for
asymmetry in the distribution of two tails, and is demonstrated to be more applicable in
financial applications than the one tail GPD mixture models previously proposed in the
literature. A new Value-at-Risk (VaR) estimation method is then constructed by adopting
the proposed mixture model and two-stage method: where volatility estimation using
a latent volatility model (or realized volatility) followed by the two tail GPD mixture
model applied to independent innovations to overcome the key issues of dependence, and
to account for the uncertainty associated with threshold choice. The proposed method
is applied in forecasting VaR for empirical return data during the current financial crisis
period.

O Simpósio Brasileiro de Engenharia de Software (SBES) está na sua 25ª edição em 2011. Ao longo da sua história, vários progressos no campo da engenharia de software foram publicados e debatidos. Durante o Simpósio, os avanços e pesquisas ganham voz e repercutem no meio acadêmico nacional. Entender como a pesquisa de engenharia de software publicada no SBES evoluiu nesse período é o principal objetivo deste trabalho. Os demais objetivos se relacionam com o primeiro diretamente. Compreender quais as áreas de pesquisa e os métodos mais utilizados, e ainda traçar um histórico das abordagens, das unidades de análise e dos gêneros de pesquisa. Neste trabalho ainda quantificamos os artigos publicados em inglês, a quantidade de referências e citações de cada paper. Para entendermos essa evolução foi necessário utilizar algumas classificações difundidas na literatura visando avaliar os trabalhos publicados e os simpósios como um todo. A metodologia utilizada passou pela leitura dos últimos 24 anos do SBES e a consolidação em um formulário de extração. O método inclui ainda detalhes e exemplos dos critérios utilizados, visando dar maior qualidade ao processo. Por fim, uma ferramenta de consolidação automatizada integra os valores encontrados. Os resultados mostram como cada um dos critérios acima definidos evoluiu ao longo do tempo, quais centros de pesquisa têm mais espaço no contexto do SBES e quais aspectos do estudo da engenharia de software podem ser aprimorados. Deste modo, este trabalho ajuda a entender o panorama brasileiro de engenharia de software e demonstra o papel relevante da pesquisa para evolução da ciência.
The Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering (SBES) is on its 25th edition in 2011. Throughout its history, several improvements in the field of software engineering have been published and discussed. During the Symposium, the advances and researches gained voice and repercussions in the national academic environment. Understanding how software engineering research published in SBES evolved in this period is the main objective of this work. The other objectives are directly related to the first. To understand the areas of research and the methods used, and build a historical analysis of the research approaches, the unit of analysis and the type of research. This work has quantified the articles published in English, the number of references, and citations of each paper. In order to understand this evolution, it was necessary to use some widespread classifications in literature to evaluate the published works and symposia as a whole. The methodology began by reading the last 24 years of SBES and the consolidation in an extraction form. The method also includes details and examples of the criteria employed to give more quality to the process. Finally, an automated consolidation tool integrated the values found. The results show how each of the criteria described above has evolved over time, research centers which have more space in the context of SBES and also which aspects of the study in software engineering can be improved. Thus, this work assists to understand the Brazilian panorama of software engineering and demonstrates the important role of research for science advance.

Full textAbstract:
Flyrock remains a significant risk to the health and safety of the mine’s employees and infrastructure as well as the safety of the neighbouring communities and their property. Losses and damages can result in significant financial and reputation consequences. The lack of fundamental research in recent years and quantifiable data relating to the relationship between blast design parameters and the risk of flyrock motivated this project. A number of authors concluded that major gaps in knowledge relative to flyrock caused by its random nature still remain a weakness in the field.
Recent papers published (since 2010) proposed a wide range of potential approaches and techniques to predict or investigate flyrock. However, the majority of these papers concluded that the proposed results were site-specific and could not be applied to other environments.
The focus of this project was to develop a concept that is able to quantify the flight path of the flyrock resulting from a blast. The motivation behind the development of this concept was to enable future researchers to quantify the impact of the different blast design parameters on the measured flyrock.
Various technologies were considered and investigated during this project. After a comparative analysis of these technologies, it was decided to use photogrammetry as the foundation of the proposed concept tool. The proposed concept consists of three main phases, namely (1) data acquisition, (2) image processing and data analysis and (3) data interpretation.
To date, progress has been achieved with phase one and phase two. In phase one, all objectives have been met. However, there are still areas which need refinement, specifically regarding the placement of the cameras in the field. In phase two, success was achieved with the proof of concept exercise in a controlled environment using a clay pigeon as the projectile. The process of calibrating the lenses has been established, however, further optimization is possible. Point-cloud data was successfully generated in the concept test, but converting the image data from subsequent quarry test blasts proved more challenging and is still a work in progress. Once phase two has been satisfactorily resolved, attention will focus on phase three.
Results to date have given a positive indication that the concept is viable and that additional work will prove the technology functional. Ultimately, it is envisioned that this tool can be used for one of three purposes, namely:
• Mines can generate a database with accurate historical flyrock of their blasting operations.
• Research teams can implement this tool to conduct quantitative research and investigations into flyrock and the impact of different blast design parameters on the risk of flyrock.
• Point-cloud data combined with ballistics calculations can be used to visualise blasts and flyrock in Virtual Reality for training and education.Dissertation (MEng)--University of Pretoria, 2019.

A dissertação realizada investiga e reflete em que medida as variadas práticas pedagógicas podem auxiliar no refinamento da escuta musical no âmbito do ensino de percepção musical. A escuta musical apurada é uma das virtudes necessárias para que o músico se prepare para as demais disciplinas relacionadas à música e também atue de forma consistente no mercado profissional. Para tanto, foram traçados quatro objetivos: 1. Verificar nas publicações e nas práticas musicais, quais as diferentes metodologias de ensino da percepção musical, com o intuito de compreender qual a melhor forma de repassar esses ensinamentos para os alunos; 2. Averiguar quais as principais dificuldades dos alunos nessa disciplina; 3. Verificar, a partir do levantamento bibliográfico realizado, quais as capacidades e habilidades necessárias para que os alunos desenvolvam uma escuta musical mais refinada e satisfatória; 4. Reavaliar a metodologia do autor da presente pesquisa, a partir dos resultados coletados no levantamento bibliográfico e nas respostas obtidas nos questionários. A pesquisa de cunho qualitativo tomou como base de análise o levantamento bibliográfico realizado com o termo “ensino de percepção musical”, além da avaliação dos dois questionários dirigidos para os alunos que cursaram a disciplina “Teoria e Percepção Musical” no Conservatório Dramático e Musical “Dr. Carlos de Campos” de Tatuí, onde atuo como docente. Os questionários realizados apontaram para as dificuldades e sugestões dadas pelos alunos na condução da disciplina. A análise do levantamento bibliográfico e da fundamentação teórica permitiu elencar as competências necessárias para o aprimoramento da escuta musical. Também foi objeto de reflexão a minha própria metodologia, considerando-se as diversas metas apontadas pelos pesquisadores avaliados. A discussão dos resultados tornou possível listar as seguintes propostas metodológicas que auxiliam um aluno de música a ter um bom desenvolvimento da escuta musical: contextualização e vivência dos exemplos e repertório musical empregado; adoção de um repertório misto em sala de aula; uso de softwares e recursos tecnológicos para os alunos utilizarem na prática diária; apreciação musical de obras em sala de aula, de acordo com o nível da classe; desenvolvimento, por parte do professor, da criatividade musical do aluno a partir da improvisação, transcrição e produção de arranjos.
The present dissertation aims at checking and reflecting on pedagogical practices that contributes to a refined musical hearing related to musical perception teaching. A sharp musical hearing is required to musicians who intend to study, teach or work in the musical area. Hence, four purposes were set: 1. Checking in articles and musical practices, what are the best methods for teaching musical perception; 2. Finding out the students’ difficulties when learning music perception; 3. Verifying, by means of a bibliographical survey, what are the competences and abilities required to develop a more refined and satisfactory musical hearing; 4. Reevaluating the methodology of this thesis’ author from the results collected in the questionnaires and bibliography. This qualitative study was based on the term “Musical Perception Teaching” as well as two questionnaires answered by the students who studied the subject “Theory and Musical Perception” at the Drama and Music Conservatory “Dr. Carlos de Campos” in Tatuí, São Paulo, where this thesis’ author works as a teacher. The questionnaires pointed the students’ suggestions and difficulties related to Musical Perception. The theoretical reference and bibliographical analyses allowed listing the competences needed for improving musical hearing. Moreover, based on the several targets mentioned by the researchers, this thesis’s author reevaluated his own teaching methods. The results showed the following pedagogical practices for improving musical hearing: contextualization and background experiences from examples and musical repertoire; choosing a mixed repertoire for classes; using softwares and technological resources that students can apply for daily practice; promoting musical appreciation during classes according to students’ knowledge; teachers, as far as possible, should stimulate musical creativity by means of improvisation, transcription and development of musical arrangement.

Full textAbstract:
The significance of this dissertation research is twofold with both methodological advancement and empirical update. In this dissertation research, quantile regression (QR) was introduced to social sciences researchers as a response to the weaknesses of the traditional mean-based regression often referred to as multiple regression. General advantages of QR includes being more flexible for modeling data with heterogeneous conditional distributions, more robust to outliers, and having richer characterization and description of the data. Results of QR allow researchers to not only describe a general trend of changes in the effects of the independent variables across a continuous distribution of the dependent variable but also provide information on characteristics of any shift in the distribution caused by the independent variables. These shifts pertain to location, scale, and shape shifts. This dissertation research reviewed graphical ways to examine location, scale, and shape shifts, and more importantly, developed statistical ways to quantify location, scale, and shape shifts (i.e., test for statistical significance of location, scale, and shape shifts).
Overall, this dissertation demonstrated that the introduction of QR as an advanced statistical procedure will advance the quantitative landscape of social sciences research. The results of this dissertation showed that QR can detect the differential effects of independent variables on the dependent variables that mean-based regression cannot detect and therefore uncovers more detailed relationships. This quality of QR enables more in-depth research than mean-based regression in many fields. The results of this dissertation also showed that QR allows for the understanding of relationships between variables outside the mean of the data, making it useful in understanding outcomes that are non-normally distributed and that have non-linear relationships with the independent variables. Finally, this dissertation introduced ways to detect and describe distributional shifts caused by the independent variables. The median regression line describes the (central) location shift. In addition to the estimated location shifts, the other QR lines provide information about the scale and shape shifts. This dissertation developed the bootstrapping approach to test for statistical significance when comparing location, scale, and shape shifts between parameters within and between samples (i.e., studies).
This dissertation research applied QR to the examination of individual differences in mathematics achievement and mathematics self-efficacy, using the 2003 and 2012 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) data. The QR results showed that the effects of many student characteristics were not constant across the mathematics outcomes distributions (i.e., mathematics achievement and mathematics self-efficacy). This suggested that individual differences were valued heterogeneously across the mathematics outcomes distributions. There was only one statistically significant location shift in terms of individual differences associated with family structure in both mathematics achievement and mathematics self-efficacy between 2003 and 2012. There was only one statistically significant scale shift in terms of individual differences associated with father SES in mathematics achievement for the middle 40 percent of the students between 2003 and 2012. There was only one statistically significant scale shift in terms of individual differences associated with gender in mathematics self-efficacy for the middle 40 percent of the students between 2003 and 2012. There was only one statistically significant shape shift in terms of individual differences associated with gender in mathematics self-efficacy between 2003 and 2012. Even though QR and LMR results can be similar in terms of statistical significance, they can differ dramatically in magnitude. Students’ age, gender, and socioeconomic status were typical examples in this study. The effect of student age generally became more positive as student mathematics achievement increased in 2003. This suggests that age had a stronger effect on better-performing students than lower-performing students in 2003. It also means that there are more age differences in the upper tail of student mathematics achievement distribution than in the lower tail.

De plus, choisir les grands formats génère diverses conséquences, en termes d’économies financières, de problèmes de santé, de gaspillage alimentaire, de culpabilité et de satisfaction. Notre étude qualitative nous permet de proposer un modèle centré autour de l’alternative entre les avantages financiers et les considérations de santé. L'étude quantitative a démontré que les stratégies de prix dégressifs selon les quantités achetées incitent non seulement les consommateurs à acheter et à consommer davantage, mais aussi, dans le même temps, amenuisent leurs objectifs de santé et diminuent leur culpabilité de trop consommer (souvent associée aux aliments hédoniques). Cependant, la présence d’étiquettes nutritionnelles contenant les informations relatives aux calories et aux nutriments pour le format proposé, remet au premier rang les objectifs de santé et augmente le sentiment de culpabilité. Cette thèse contribue à la littérature existante sur le « supersizing » dans le cas de produits alimentaires. A la lumière de la théorie des Moyens-Fins et dans une approche de Transformative Consumer Research ; cette recherche apporte des pistes d’action susceptibles d’améliorer le bien-être alimentaire de tousThis dissertation adopted a mixed-method approach based on qualitative and quantitative studies. The qualitative exploratory research examined the antecedents and consequences behind the purchase of supersized food products. Our findings from the qualitative study suggest that consumers’ choice of upsized food is inspired by several antecedents such as price quantity trade-off, hunger, likeness, and social influence. Besides, the acquisition of a larger food container also results in some inevitable consequences, which appear in the form of financial saving, health concerns, food waste, guilt, and satisfaction. Our qualitative study led the foundation for quantitative research to further examine the role of supersized pricing.The quantitative study demonstrated that such pricing strategies not only cause consumers to purchase and consume more but at the same time influence their crucial goals in distinct domains, expressly, by diminishing the importance of health goals and decreasing the anticipated consumption guilt which is often associated with hedonic foods. The supersized pricing is influential in affecting the buying behavior of consumers; however, the carefully designed nutritional labels containing the nutritional information related to the whole portion can refrain them from diminished health focus and increase their feelings of guilt for hedonic food. Moreover, supersized pricing can also be used to enhance the size choice of healthy food.This dissertation contributes to the existing literature on supersizing, consumption guilt, and nutritional labeling in light of the Means-End theory and TCR. It also discusses the marketing and public policy implications

Malgré de nombreuses études, le lien de causalité entre vent et vagues fait toujours l’objet de controverses : cela est dû entre autres au caractère multi-échelle d'une surface océanique réaliste, et à la présence de déferlements, qui modifient radicalement sa topologie. Dans cette thèse, ces deux questions sont abordées sous un angle théorique, à travers un modèle phénoménologique, qui relie les propriétés spectrales et moyennées de la turbulence proche de paroi en utilisant la géométrie de tourbillons attachés à celle-ci. La première partie de la thèse revisite ce modèle phénoménologique en questionnant ses hypothèses sous-jacentes et révèle, en particulier, des incohérences dans les modèles utilisés pour décrire le terme de redistribution d'énergie entre composantes turbulentes (modèle de Rotta). Le modèle phénoménologique est ensuite utilisé pour étudier le couplage entre vagues de vent longues (de l'ordre de 10m) et turbulence. Les résultats démontrent que la déformation des tourbillons attachés induite par cette interaction pourrait expliquer une partie de la variabilité des flux de quantité de mouvement à un vent moyen donné. Finalement, le couplage entre la turbulence et les vagues courtes et déferlantes est abordé en définissant une sous-couche rugueuse dans laquelle les propriétés des tourbillons attachés sont définies par la vitesse des fronts déferlants dominants pour un vent donné. Ces deux études posent les bases d'un nouveau paradigme, permettant d'étudier le couplage multi-échelle entre le spectre turbulent et le spectre des vagues. Celui-ci pourrait permettre de mieux prendre en compte l'influence de paramètres environnementaux sur les flux de quantité de mouvement et de chaleur. Il ouvre ainsi de nouvelles perspectives pour les études théoriques et pour l’exploration des données expérimentalesDespite numerous works, the causal link between wind and waves is still a controversial subject. This is due, among others, to the multi-scale nature of a realistic ocean surface and to wave breaking, which changes its topology. In this thesis, such problems are studied from a theoretical perspective, using a phenomenological model linking the spectral and averaged properties of wall-bounded turbulence through the geometry attached eddies.The first part of the thesis revisits this phenomenological model by questioning its underlying assumptions and, in particular, reveals inconsistencies in the models used for the energy redistribution between turbulence components (the Rotta model). The phenomenological model is then used to study the coupling between long wind-waves (of order 10m) and turbulence. Results indicate that the deformation of attached eddies, induced by this interaction, could explain some of the variability in momentum fluxes for a given mean wind. Finally, the study of the coupling between turbulence and short breaking waves is approached by defining a roughness sublayer, in which the properties of the attached eddies depend solely on the speed of the dominant breaking fronts for a given wind. These two studies from the basis of a new paradigm to study the multi-scale coupling between the turbulent and wave spectra. This would allow accounting for the influence of environmental parameters on momentum and heat fluxes, and opens new paths both from a theoretical perspective and for the analysis of experimental data

This study explores the optimal inventory-supply strategies of retailers while considering two levels trade credit model based on present value viewpoint. Suppliers would yield certain duration to delay the payment when retailers order purchase. At the same time, retailers yield certain duration of payment to end customers as well. Suppliers, retailers and end customers get their own advantages through this kind of two levels trade credit model. Except for the delay-payment model, this study researches relative conditions about discount-policy as well. Under the actual transaction circumstances, suppliers may support quantity discount to retailers, which would stimulate retailers’ desire to purchase. While adding the amount of money and quantity, relative cost like holding and carrying cost would raise. This article intends to help retailers to find the most beneficial transaction model based on available conditions under the simulated actual transaction circumstances. It considers relative factors including two levels trade credit model, price differences on purchase and sale, discount policy, and time value of cash flow. Then it calculates net present value of total relevant cost of retailers when the planed period of time is unlimited (business go for permanent). Furthermore, this study explores the optimal cycle time of retailers when the net present value of all relative cost minimized.

The conditions of hot-spring usage in Taiwan were investigated in this study. The quantity and quality of hot-spring in the consumption system of typical hot-spring resorts are measured to establish a case-based database in Taiwan . Research objects were investigated in Taiwanese famous hot-spring areas, such as Peitou Area , Sz-Chung-Shi Area, Chipen Area, Jin-Lun Area, Jhinsan Area, Tai-an Area, Bulao Area and Baolai Area. The objects can be divided into two categories, one is recirculation case and another is non-recirculation case. All the cases were studied through “Field” and “Lab” analysis. The measuring items in “Field” analysis include pH, temperature, conductivity, ORP and hot-spring flow rate. The measuring items in “Lab” analysis include total colony forming units (CFU) and chemical ions such as K+、Na+、NH4+ 、Ca2+、Mg2+、F-、Cl-、SO42-. This study results showed that recirculational hot-springs, not only water quality, but also public hygienical condition are superior to non-recirculational hot-springs. Hence, implementations of recirculation and re-using hot-springs not only reduce the proprietors’ burden of tax, but also decrease the negative effects upon the environment and natural hot-springs resources. Further, achieve the sustainability of hot-springs are expected.

A new trading strategy is studied and introduced to target the potential investment underlying, and further outperforming the market. The correlation between daily price and quantity will be revaluated and analyzed in this theory in hope to allow retailers who have insufficient resources or IT supports to develop unique investment, achieving wealth. Three trading tactics with specified Buy/Sell Points are described as following: 1. Trading tactic 1: The daily turnover is greater than 200% of 5-day turnover, and the underlying price closed 6% or higher than it was in T-1 day. Exit Mechanism: ○1 Hold to the end of the month ○2 Take profit (stop loss) if the price lower than 3% of its 10-day moving average (MA10) 2. Trading tactic 2: Add a Stop Loss Point at 7%. The Exit mechanism is the same as Trading tactic 1 3. Trading tactic 3: Add a Stop Loss Point at 7% and add a Buy Point when Taiwan benchmark Index is over its 60-day moving average (MA60). The Exit mechanism is the same as Trading tactic 1 The trading result is as below: 一、Share win/lose ratio: Trading tactic 1 and Trading tactic 2 result in outperforming market 1520 times (or 51.63%), underperforming market 1424 times (or 48.87%). Trading tactic 3 results in outperforming market 1120 times (or 52.39%), underperforming market 1018 times (or 47.61%). All three trading tactics outperform the market. 二、Monthly performance: Trading tactic 1 has 28 months outperformed the market and 20 months underperformed. Trading tactic 2 has 31 months outperformed the market and 17 months underperformed. Tading tactic 3, on the other hand, has 21 months outperformed and 9 months underperformed. Again, all three trading tactics outperform the market. 三、Average monthly return: Trading tactic 1 average monthly return is 3.43%, better than market’s 1.2%; Trading tactic 2 is 3.45%, better than market’s 2.93%; Trading tactic 3 is 4.8%, better than market’s 2.8%. The trading results demonstrate the correlation between daily price and quantity does provide positive and better returns in Share win/lose ratio, Monthly performance and Average monthly return by compared to the market. The 2-year back testing shows the 3 trading tactics generate a significant of 3.89% of the average monthly return (3.3% after the deduction of transaction cost).

Although the primary fashion of waste disposal is by incinerating at present, the ultimate and must-exist method is still by disposing into sanitary landfill. The main design of landfill sites is to isolate pollutants; the key to its success is the leachate management. Therefore, this article will probe into the method of leachate quantity management from the waste minimization viewpoint and focus on the zoning landfill and leachate recirculation in order to control and reduce it effectively. Strategy of the zoning landfill divides into three categories: the working section, the incomplete section and the complete section. The incomplete section yet buries any wastes and the complete section has done the covering due to rainfall, thus the surface run-off is considered unpolluted and drained to the ditches through the temporary conduit or water pumps. Strategy of the zoning landfill is quite beneficial to the reduction of leachate particularly when the area of landfill is larger. It will drain away the surface run-off of the unpolluted area through zoning landfill to avoid heavy burden for the sewage treatment system. The larger the section of landfill site is, the better the effectiveness of leachate reduces; relatively the smaller the working section of landfill site is, the lesser the leachate produces. Request of the minimum area of the working section must be considered deliberately during planning in order to fulfill the entry of machines, tools and staffs. Principle of the leachate recirculation is transporting leachate from collection tank to landfill site through the recirculation pump, recirculation pipe and infiltration pipe. The function of gravel’s water scattering will implant uniformly to the waste layer from the infiltration pipes and ditches. Strategy of the leachate recirculation is beneficial to both the leachate reduction and the improvement of leachate water quality; this article mainly focuses on the effectiveness of leachate reduction as a result of the leachate quantity. Due to evaporation, leachate reduces after the recirculation; result of the reduction will be different based on the climatic condition in different region. In addition, the effect of water absorption of the waste layer will be nearly saturated after the leachate recirculation. Thus the rainfall will not be able to infiltrate to the saturated layer that leads to the increase of surface run-off. This article analyzes the B-grade landfill site of Yuan-Shan Technology Co., Inc as an illustration in the end. Yuan-Shan’s analytical results have succeeded in terms of economic profit no matter on the zoning landfill or the leachate recirculation. However, it must establish the management process and system on landfill sites in order to perfectly perform the concept of leachate recirculation on practical fields.

According to the issue of green manufacturing and environmental protection, the machining technology comes to use Minimal Quantity Lubrication(MQL) to replace the traditional Dry Machining. In general of MQL, when the lubricating performance is greater, the cooling condition is getting poor, so does the opposite. Therefore, in order to improve the condition of MQL, this study is to develop a minimal cutting fluid cooling and lubrication proportion adjustable modules, hopefully those two modules can get both lubrication and cooling performance. The Experimental design is to investigate the influence that use different cutting fluid cooling and lubricant ratio on milling Inconel 718 superalloy. The result shows that use MQL to assist machining is effective to improve the workpieces’s surface roughness. Moreover, the cutting force and tool wear is decreased compare with Dry Machining.

According to Article 2 of Water Act, Water is the natural resource which is belonged to the Nation. Its belonging will not transform due to the fact the people get the possessions of land. If anyone wants to get the privilege of using water, he/she must follow the regulation to apply the permission of using water. In Taiwan, Hot Spring water resource is abundant , however, Hot Spring water regulation and management is still on the developing stage. Following the promulgation of Hot Spring Regulation Law, problems, including not limited in, issues of permission of water using, shortages of water resource, issues of Hot Spring water recycling, about Hot Spring are gradually appearing. This research selects Wulia Hot Spring Area locating on Great Taipei suburban to be the research case. This research uses case research method to study the water manipulating system in Hot Spring Area and we use the Central Control, Central Supply and Total Quantity Control to analyze the Hot Spring supply and demand in Wulia Hot Spring Area. According the analysis, we can understand the greatest amount of tourists in one day and greatest amount of Hot Spring utilization in one day which can be used to estimate the future 10 years growth of Hot Spring utilization and the best model of Hot Spring water supply in Wulia Hot Spring Area. Furthermore, by using SWOT analysis, we find out the strategy which can assist Wulia Hot Spring Area to be suitable for the different environment constraints, and we suggests that the Hot Spring water using in business in Hot Spring Area must be constrained in 3/4 amount of total Quotas. We also suggests that the future development of Hot Spring Area, should not merely focus on business utilization, and we should take consider of the need for non-business using. We hope the findings of this research can provide some suggestions to help other Hot Spring Area build the managerial system and better Hot Spring environment.

In recent years, consumers show much favor to hair dye. Hair dye industry has continued innovating the colors and types of hair dye, which indirectly promotes its industrial development and makes the trend of hair dye in fashion. To ensure the safety of consumers, the low-risk usage of hair dye is very important. The ingredients in hair dye include aromatic amines. Some components of aromatic amine are proven as carcinogens. Although the current animal tests and epidemiological studies show that hair dye has no effect on cancer, it is still influential. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration divided hair dyes into temporary hair dyes , gradually dyed-in hair dyes, semi-permanent hair dyes, permanent hair dyes. , The hair root’s damage and effects will be not the same due to the different ingredients and reaction. Human skin can be penetrated by certain external substances, so it is necessary to evaluate the percutaneous absorption of hair dye. The European Union proposes in vitro tests as evaluation mode. It is assessed that there are special considerations about scalp’s absorption through hair dye. Therefore, this questionnaire survey selects four commercially available hair dyes, including Glory, Lakme , Liese and Maywufa instant coloring cream. In the heavy metals and toxicological analysis, the results showed that all hair dyes conformed to the laws and regulations of the Department of Health. However, according to the toxicological analysis, the results showed that the four brands had the ability to kill cells in high concentration. Comparing to the other hair dyes, Maywufa instant coloring cream has the weakest ability to kill cells. In addition, for hair dye’s durability analysis, performing 20, 30 and 40 minutes rinse respectively, the effect of discoloration was observed after one week and two weeks. The results showed that the longer hair dye did not increase hair effect. However, discoloration will be significant as the long treatment of hair dye. Among the above four brands, Glory performed better durability of dyeing hair. The study found that consumers were influenced most by televisions and magazines to buy hair dye. Currently, the popular brands, like Maywufa, 566 and Liese, are very common in some newspapers and the media. Besides, the color dark brown and black hair dye were most accepted by the market. There were about 53.39% consumers preferring dyeing their hair at home, while other 34.75% people were achieved by hair salon. Consequently, people like to dye hair by themselves and the purchase of hair dye was based on the popularity of the brand. The price and ingredients were the next choices. The stores such as Watsons and Cosmed were the most famous for consumers (73.73%) to buy hair dye and the others (75.42%) put more emphasis on security label which corresponds with the request of the Department of Health.

In 1980, USA government declared Byah-Dole Act to accelerate Intellectual Property Rights. Moreover, it also released these research achievements to research foundations、universities and non-for-profit organizations. Before the Byah-Dole Act passed, the amount of patent of all universities were less than 250. Afterwards, according to the AUTM 2005 survey which investigated 153 schools applied patents. As a result, there are totally account for 9,079 of applying patents, 2,835 of issuing patent, US$1,599,628,527 of licensing, and US$36,662,107,824 of research expenditure. We summarized that the cost from research expenditure to issue patent need at least US$36,662,107,824. Hence, the higher research expenditure, the less licensing income. Thus, only patents can produce licensing income, and we speculated that these three factors (research, expenditure, licensing come, and patent amount) have significant uncertainty. In this study, we would pay emphasized on universities of USA, refer to AUTM 2005 survey and try to figure out the relationship of research expenditure, patent amount and licensing income. As an empirical result, all of these three factors have significant positive relationship which indicates the more research expenditure, the more the amount of patent and licensing income; and more patent amount can also affect more license income.In sum, the schools of high licensing income and fewer the amount of patent which research fields are all relative with biotechnology and medical science. In addition, we suggest if the schools attempt to increase licensing income then they must concentrate on medical science or biotechnology fields to develop.

Full textAbstract:
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)Gastric residual volume (GRV) is a clinical assessment to evaluate gastric emptying and enteral feeding tolerance. Factors such as the tube size, tube material, tube port configuration, placement of the tube in the gastric fluid, the amount of fluid and person completing the assessment may influence the accuracy of residual volume assessment. Little attention has been paid to assessing the accuracy of GRV measurement when the actual volume being aspirated is known, and no studies have compared the accuracy in obtaining RV using the three different techniques reported in the literature that are used to obtain aspirate in practice (syringe, suction, and gravity drainage). This in vitro study evaluated three different methods for aspirating feeding formula through two different tube sizes (10 Fr [small] and 18 Fr [large]), tube materials (polyvinyl chloride and polyurethane), using four levels of nursing experience (student, novice, experienced and expert) blinded to the five fixed fluid volumes of feeding formula in a simulated stomach, to determine if the RV can be accurately obtained. The study design consisted of a 3x2x2x4x5 completely randomized factorial ANOVA (with a total of 240 cells) and 479 RV assessments were made by the four nurse participants. All three methods (syringe, suction and gravity) used to aspirate RV did not perform substantially well in aspirating fluid, and on average, the methods were able to aspirate about 50% of the volume available. The syringe and suction techniques were comparable and produced higher proportions of RVs, although the interrater reliability of RV assessment was better with the syringe method. The gravity technique generally performed poorly. Overall, the polyvinyl chloride material and smaller tubes were associated with higher RV assessments. RV assessment is a variable assessment and the three methods did not perform well in this in vitro study. These findings should be further explored and confirmed using larger samples. This knowledge will be important in establishing the best technique for assessing RV to maximize EN delivery in practice and will contribute to future research to test strategies to optimize EN intake in critically ill patients.

The purpose of this research is discussion on after taking nutrition education courses the second grade of elementary school students their express situation in the beverage drinking dosage、the knowledge of sugar-sweetened drink、the attitude of sugar-sweetened drink、the self-efficacy of refusing sugar-sweetened drink、the body mass index （BMI） and the attention aspects. The research uses some instrumentation to collect data. Such as, the record sheet of daily beverage drinking dosage、the questionnaires of the second grade of elementary school students sugar-sweetened beverage drinking behavior and its key factors、the measurement of height and weight and the testing software of computer nerve attention. In this research, the researcher did the pretest before taking nutrition education courses （before the experiment a week ago）. Then researcher did two time posttest in the fourth and the eighth week of the experiment. At last researcher did the delay effect test in the third week after the end of the experiment. The research object is the two classes of the second grade students in the one of Feng-Shan elementary schools. One class is experimental group, the other is control group. According to the dosage of drinking sugar-sweetened beverage to divided each of the two classes into high、medium and low three groups. Then in each class did drink the quantity and the body mass index variation analysis. The experiment was lasting twelve weeks. During the experiment the researcher added extra eight weeks’ nutrition education courses in experimental group. Control group defers to the general school the courses to carry on. There are some statistics methods for the research, dependent sample t-test、independent sample t-test and Johnson-Neyman ANCOVA. Furthermore, after taking nutrition education courses the researcher asked the students in experimental group to fill out “ feedback sheet of nutrition education courses” to enhance the effect of nutrition education courses. There are thirty students in experimental group and thirty-three students in control group. They are participate in three kinds of research： the record sheet of daily beverage drinking dosage、the questionnaires of the second grade of elementary school students sugar-sweetened beverages drinking behavior and its key factors、the test of BMI. According to the result of research, the record sheet of daily beverage drinking dosage, in experimental group, the sugar-sweetened beverage drinking dosage no obviously reduced. But the drinking dosage of water increased obviously is attain to significance level. Although in control group the sugar-sweetened beverage drinking dosage and water no obviously increased or decreased. To make the further analysis of the three （high、medium and low） sugar-sweetened beverage drinking dosage groups within one class. Both the low drinking dosage group in experimental group and the medium and low drinking dosage group in control group are attain to significance level. In the aspect of the questionnaires of the second grade of elementary school students, sugar-sweetened beverage drinking behavior and its key factors, experimental group in the knowledge of sugar-sweetened drink、the attitude of sugar-sweetened drink and self-efficacy of refusing sugar-sweetened drink is attain to significance level before taking nutrition education courses. In the aspect of BMI, experimental group's body mass index measured before and after does not have the obvious difference, but control group's body mass index measured before and after the reduction reaches the remarkable standard. If further high, medium and low drinks the group by experimental group and control group including the sugar-sweetened beverage drink to look at the body mass index the change, experimental group's sugar-sweetened beverages of high dosage group was taking nutrition education courses and it didn't reduce drink sugar-sweetened beverages. The index of BMI is obvious decrease to significance level. The control group high, medium and low sugar-sweetened beverage drinking dosage groups the body mass index actually not to have the remarkable difference.

The purposes of this dissertation are investigating two production planning models: a fuzzy extended economic production quantity model, based on a more elaboratively modeled unit cost structure, and a fuzzy product life cycle model. First, in the fuzzy extended economic production quantity model, the unit cost structure represents various cost components, such as on-line and off-line setups, initial defective of production, direct material and labor, and depreciation in addition to conventionally module setup and inventory holding costs. Thus, the annual total cost function consists of not only annual inventory holding cost and setup cost, but also annual producing cost. Moreover, via the concept of fuzzy blurred optimal argument and fuzzy arithmetic, two approaches are proposed: (1) the fuzzy EPQ and (2) a compromised crisp EPQ in the fuzzy sense. The sensitive model, for the fuzzy total cost and thus EPQ to the various cost factors, is also provided. Secondly, in the product life cycle model, the observed patterns of product life cycles indicate the ‘stage’ concerns that are included identifications, strategies, and modeling. Stage modeling is aggregating the individual stages in an overall inter-influence manner. Thus, stage modeling not only preserves the respective characteristics of the stages, but also may be explored for the interrelationship of each stage strategy. This study develops an approach to model PLCs by addressing a stage characteristic-preserving idea. The concept and technique of the stage characteristic-preserving modeling of PLC are proposed. The fuzzy analysis process and new product diffusion model by Bass (1969) is demonstrated, and it is bettered than present approach.

The Subprime Mortgage Crisis in America causing Easing Money Policy overall the world resulted in too much idle money in the market. Plus, the government encouraging low interest-rate loans and other promotions made the housing price increase, especially Taipei city. With unreachable housing price, residents lived with less disposable income and more suffering. Recently, the average income of the residents in Taipei city did not increase, but housing price went up rapidly, causing Housing Price and Income Ratio of Taipei City to go up. Therefore, this essay mainly based on Housing Price and Income Ratio to examine the correlations of the three economic variables, Gross Domestic Product(GDP)、Interest(I) and narrow Money Supply(M1A). The result of this essay that Housing Price and Income Ratio and narrow Money Supply(M1A) are causally related is examined with Johansen’s Cointergration Test、Vector Error Correction Model(VECM), and Granger Causality Test. The result shows and supports that the Easing Money Policy bringing much idle money in the market and easier loans from banks causes housing price to increase and Housing Price and Income Ratio to go up.

In recent years, environmental conservation issues have drawn global attention. People’s awareness of the environment is not just confined to "carbon reduction", but also pushing governments around the world to take more active measures for environmental conservation, like education and policy changes, in response to climate change. In Taiwan, “Reduction” and “Regulation” are the two main focuses in policy making. In order to reduce carbon emission, policies in transportation leans on mass transit, encouraging general publics to take public transport. After lower birth rate and fewer children in Taiwan household become a norm, traffic congestion at school gate before and after school hours becomes more and more serious. This research uses Shinchu County which has the top five population growth in Taiwan for the past ten years as an example to survey transport methods and travel time to school. The results shows that as high as 50.13% of high school and primary school students are sent and picked up by their parents using motor vehicles which cause serious environmental problems. Base on an analysis of the Zhubei free bus route, with no addition cost on bus operation in mind, and minimizing total travel distance and time as the goal, this research investigates a new possible free bus route for Zhubei Jnior High School using the Geographic information system (GIS) to minimize the environmental impact. Using the GIS tool, the total distance of the new free bus route is 12.17km. The estimate travel time would be 35 minutes. To match the school hours, the bus should start at 6:40am and will arrive at school at 7:15am. If students travel to and from school using the new route, total travel distance will be reduced by 84.34%, total fuel usage will reduce by 71.30%, and carbon dioxide emission will reduce by 65.41% compared to sending by their parents in motor vehicles. There will be an increase of 81.01% in passenger rate of the existing bus service. From an opinion survey, 62.03% of the respondents will take the new bus; 22.78% will consider; and 15.19% will not take the bus. Of those who express they will not take the bus, 10% are actually not living in the district covered by the new bus routes. They only have their registered addresses in the area. From the observation of the researches, students usually complete their three years of junior high in the same school for a stable learning environment. Therefore it can be assumed that the new proposed bus route could serve the students for three years. Based on a 200 days school year, 2,698 liters of fuel would be saved per year and 5,544 kilograms of carbon emission would be reduced every year. Though out the students’three years junior school life, 8,094 liters of fuel will be saved and carbon emission will be reduced by 16,632 kilograms. Assume fuel price to be $31 per liter, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars of fuel cost can be saved for the three years.

Construction involves complex integration of people, materials, machine, and managerial procedures. These elements of construction are manifested by design drawings and related plans. Although construction tasks are to be undertaken in a 3-dimentional paradigm, construction professionals nonetheless must present their ideas in a traditional2-dimension manner. Traditionally, this has been due to technological constraints and limitations. The advancement of computing power and relevant software technologies however have pushed forward and through the impossible in the past. Particularly, the concept of Building Information Modeling (BIM), as a complete platform to integrate virtually all construction related information, has introduced a true 3-D revolution. Under the BIM paradigm, construction design and planning takes place in a 3-D environment. Such a 3-D model allows all construction professional perform their tasks under a 3-D approach. This study will take advantage the BIM potential, and specifically investigate the possibility to perform the checking of quantity of work under the BIM environment. The aim of this work is to reduce the effort required to validate/verify the quantity of work introduced by design professionals, so that subsequent contractors will have much less hassles and difficulties to execute their bidding. This also eliminates potential contract disputes concerning discrepancy between the actual quantities of work and those presented in the bidding documents. As a demonstrative purpose, this study examines how the quantity of structural rebar is determined by traditional method of cost estimate, which as discussed is performed in a 2-D environment. As found in this study, numerous details regarding structural rebar are not included in routine 2-D design practice. This makes the estimate of the quantity of structural rebar a mere guess work, if precision is taken into account. This study contemplates the general design practice of structural rebar, as well as all relevant technical specifications, and introduces the details into a BIM model. It is concluded that a BIM model mitigates the allowance of the quantity of structural rebar. In an actual case, as presented in this study, a total of 5.3 tons of rebar were found unspecified in the original design, this amounts to a 9% allowance. Therefore, this study is able to summarize a hopeful proclaim that BIM platform can show benefit to contractor, in that they can rely on a BIM model to reduce the need to conduct quantity of work checking.

Krohn, Katherine Rae. "The Effect of Self-Recording and Contingent Credit on the Quantity and Relevance of College Student Participation in Class Discussion." 2010. http://trace.tennessee.edu/utk_graddiss/815.
Full textAbstract:
In sizeable discussion-based college classrooms, achieving any approximation of balanced student participation is difficult. More common is a pattern that develops wherein a small percentage of the class dominates discussion and a larger percentage rarely or never participates. Thus, the purpose of this study was to find ways to balance the amount of discussion across students without diminishing the relevance of discussion. Consequently, this study evaluated the efficacy of crediting participation and requiring students to self-record their daily participation. Students (N = 160) in three sections of an undergraduate educational psychology course self-recorded their comments on specially designed record cards and received credit for participation during selected phases of the study. Additionally, an observer kept track of each class discussion by coding the quantity of each student’s daily participation. Relevance and type of student responses were assessed as ancillary dependent measures, also recorded by the observer.
Credit decreased the percentage of both non-participants and dominant participants, thus balancing participation across students. Self-recording had a minimal effect on participation. Neither credit nor self-recording altered relevance or type of student comments. Few overall instances of non-relevant student commenting indicated that the construct was too narrowly defined, which provides direction for future attempts to assess quality of student participation. Because these findings resulted from comparisons within and between three sections of the course, instructor behavior was also monitored daily. A secondary observer’s records revealed that instructor behaviors (i.e., type and number of questions asked and feedback given) did not inflate or diminish the effect of treatment conditions.
A 50-item survey assessed student perceptions of participation at the beginning of the course and was found to significantly predict student participation. Through a series of four principal components analyses, I extracted three specific factors. Logistic regression analyses showed that the primary factor, History and Confidence regarding Participation, differentiated high and low participants as well as the total survey and the three combined factors. This factor best predicted membership in a low participant group in the non-credit units and membership in a high participant group in the credit units.

Based on the motive and purpose study, an analysis has been made on the current situation and trend of housing development in Taipei City, trying to find out what problems shall be solved so as to orient a proper housing development policy. Further, the information of nighttime resident population obtained from the population research of Taipei City has been used to figure out the overall housing need in the years(2010) to come, and then adjusted according to the limiting factor of housing development, the housing need for each administrtive district is deduced, thereby forming a conception of future housing development in Taipei City. The results of study include two parts. One is to view the scenery in the respects of plane , lines and spots, describing the development conception in regard to major construction projects, the scattering of living spaces, rapid transit systems and urban renewals. On the actual development program, old urban districts are the focus of renewal, where measures shall be taken to avoid further increase of the population and to evacuate the existing inhabitants to new urban districts or other places of a metropolis. New urban districts have more potential to develop, particularly peitou, shinlin and wenshan districts. Moreover, emphasis is also laid on the coordination between various sectors. Consequently, the author has mapped out development plan to be jointly carried out both ernment and private sectors.

Full textAbstract:
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) is a form of massage using rigid manufactured or cast devices. The delivered force, which is a critical parameter in massage during IASTM, has not been measured or standardized for most clinical practices. In addition to the force, the angle of treatment and frequency play an important role during IASTM. As a result, there is a strong need to characterize the delivered force to a patient, angle of treatment, and stroke frequency. This thesis proposes two novel mechatronic designs for a specific instrument from Graston Technique(Model GT3), which is a frequently used tool to clinically deliver localize pressure to the soft tissue. The first design is based on compression load cells, where 4-load cells are used to measure the force components in three-dimensional space. The second design uses a 3D load cell, which can measure all three force components force simultaneously. Both designs are implemented with IMUduino microcontroller chips which can also measure tool orientation angles and provide computed stroke frequency. Both designs, which were created using Creo CAD platform, were also analyzed thorough strength and integrity using the finite element analysis package ANSYS. Once the static analysis was completed, a dynamic model was created for the first design to simulate IASTM practice using the GT-3 tool. The deformation and stress on skin were measured after applying force with the GT-3 tool. Additionally, the relationship between skin stress and the load cell measurements has been investigated. The second design of the mechatronic IASTM tool was validated for force measurements using an electronic plate scale that provided the baseline force values to compare with the applied force values measured by the tool. The load cell measurements and the scale readings were found to be in agreement within the expected degree of accuracy. The stroke frequency was computed using the force data and determining the peaks during force application. The orientation angles were obtained from the built-in sensors in the microchip.

This research probes into a specimen on the relationship between Bank Business Performance and Business Index as well as making a difference comparison among the results of those that change before and after adding the general economic indicators and least square method by using Quantile Regression Methods as a mean of carrying out Positive Analysis. The empirical research data used in this study was quarterly data from sample banks during the period of 1997-2010. In addition, 21 financial ratios and 2 macroeconomic indicators were selected for analysis. The results of this study were as follows: 1.The results of quantile regression and least squares estimation showed that incorporation of the macroeconomic indicators significantly increased the explanatory power of the model. 2.Quantile regression indicated whether each financial ratio had a significant influence on performance in different quantiles, and whether the change direction was altered. The least squares method only provided the average results of each ratio, neglecting the influence of the end information. 3.After incorporating the macroeconomic indicators, each explanatory variable, apart from revenue rate per person, was shown to have a significant influence on performance in different quantiles. When the macroeconomic indicators were not incorporated, each variable, apart from net profit ratio and revenue rate per person, was shown to have a significant influence on performance in different quantiles.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have revolutionized data collection in large scale agronomic field trials (10+ ha). Vegetative index (VI) maps derived from UAV imagery are a potential tool to characterize temporal and spatial treatment effects in a more efficient and non-destructive way compared to traditional data collection methods that require manual sampling. The overall objective of this study was to characterize and quantify maize responses to experimental treatments in field-scale research using UAV imagery. The specific objectives were: 1) to assess the performance of several VI as predictors of grain yield and to evaluate their ability to distinguish between fertilizer treatments, and the effects of removing soil and shadow background, 2) to assess the performance of VI and canopy cover fraction (CCF) as predictors of maize biomass at vegetative and reproductive growth stages under field-scale conditions, and 3) to compare the performance of VI derived from consumer-grade and multispectral sensors for predicting grain yield and identifying treatment effects. For the first objective, the results suggest that most VI were good indicators of grain yield at late vegetative and early reproductive growth stages, and that removing soil background improved the characterization of maize responses to experimental treatments. For objective two, overall, CCF was the best to predict biomass at early vegetative growth stages, while VI at reproductive growth stages. Finally, for objective three, performance of consumer-grade and multispectral derived VI were similar for predicting grain yield and identifying treatment effects.
