Abstract:

It is well-established that the presentation of a startling acoustic stimulus (SAS) simultaneous with the go-signal in a simple reaction time (RT) task results in significant RT reductions, while leaving movement kinematics essentially unaltered. While this phenomenon, termed the StartReact effect, has been extensively studied, cortical involvement in the neural mechanism underlying the RT-facilitation effects of a SAS remains widely debated. Applying sub-threshold TMS to motor areas results in increased cortical excitability and reductions in control RT. When this technique was used in a star

Abstract:

Roadway lane departure accidents caused 25,082 fatalities which accounted for about 58 percent of all roadway fatalities in the United States this year (AASHTO, 2008). In order to reduce these fatalities different types of strategies were implemented such as providing shoulder and/or centerline rumble strips, enhancing delineation of sharp curves, removing or relocating objects, eliminating shoulder drop-offs and providing skid-resistant pavements. Of these strategies, the rumble strips strategy has been found to be more effective to warn drivers. But, the drawbacks of rumble strips have led t

Abstract:

The behaviours of eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus) in response to aerial predators were studied in the field using trained kestrels (Falco sparverius) flying over a food patch where animals of known gender, age and burrow location categories were foraging. Their typical response was to flee toward a nearby refuge while producing a trill. After a few seconds, chipmunks usually emerged and started to produce long (but sometimes interrupted) series of chucks while facing the predator. Acoustical analysis showed that the trill consisted of a rapid series of usually high pitched and variable not

This study examined the effects of genetic background on the acoustic startle response (ASR) and its modulation by prepulse inhibition (PPI) by comparing nine inbred strains of mice. The ASR, a jerk-like motor reflex, is elicited by bursts of noise or tones with sound pressure levels of 80-90 dB and greater. PPI is a type of modulation of the ASR, requires no training, and results in observable response in both mice and humans. Data were obtained from nine inbred mouse strains, sixteen per strain, which were shipped at approximately 3-5 weeks old from The Jackson Laboratory. In general, ASRs w

Abstract:

Background. Various studies show that cannabis use alters attention and cognitive functioning in healthy humans and may contribute to development of schizophrenia or worsening of pre-existing psychosis. However, the impact of cannabis use on brain function in humans is not well understood. Schizophrenia is associated with a deficit in prepulse inhibition (PPI), the normal inhibition of the startle reflex by a non-startling stimulus (prepulse), presented before the startle stimulus at short time intervals (lead-time intervals). Such PPI deficit is thought to reflect a sensorimotor gating dysfun

Abstract:

Previous studies have reported that spontaneous startles occur most frequently in the quiet sleep states, and have posited an energy release model in which spontaneous startles occur to release energy which would otherwise wake the infant. An alternative suggestion is that startles serve a homeostatic function by increasing the activity of the infant during periods of low arousal. The purpose of the current study was to examine the function of spontaneous startles using the ongoing cardiac and respiratory activity as indices of arousal. Twenty-six newborn infants were assigned to two groups.

Abstract:

Previous studies have shown that fish release alarming substances into the water to alert their kin to escape from danger. In our laboratory, we found that zebrafish produce trypsin and release it from their gills into the environment when they are under stress. By placing the zebrafish larvae in the middle of a small tank and then placing trypsin at one end of the tank, we observed that the larvae moved away from the trypsin zone and almost to the opposite end of the tank. This escape response was significant and did not occur in response to the control substances, bovine serum albumin (BSA),

Abstract:

Start-up is one major problem that has been identified in the operation of UASB and other high rate anaerobic systems. This is related to the availability of seed material and the time required to develop the required high bacterial biomass. At present it is difficult to obtain a large amount of seed material to start-up a full scale UASB reactor because full scale operational reactors are located in only a limited number of places. Therefore the use of other seed materials is essential. In this thesis start-up of UASB reactors using abattoir wastewater stabilisation pond sludge was examined.

Abstract:

Recent experiments involving the use of a startling acoustic stimulus during a simple reaction time (RT) task have shown that premotor RT (PMT) can be significantly reduced when participants are startled (Valls-Sole et al., 1999; Carlsen et al., in press). This effect is not produced by an early startle reflex adding on to a later voluntary response, as EMG profiles remain largely unmodified. Further, the lack of an effect of the startle on final position and aiming accuracy suggests that the response produced is indeed the prepared response. These findings suggest that a startle stimulus may

Detection systems used to monitor reactor operations are of significant interest as tools for verification of operator declarations. Current reactor site safeguards are limited to visual inspections and intrusive monitoring systems. The recent development of antineutrino detectors may soon allow real-time monitoring from an unobtrusive location. Antineutrinos are produced through beta decay of fission products in the core. The lack of charge and small mass of the antineutrino ensures an extremely low interaction probability with all matter, effectively making the particle impossible to shield.

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>航空太空工程學系專班<br>98<br>The start-up process, methanol conversion and hydrogen production of the auto-thermal reformer (ATR) have been investigated by numerical simulation in the present study. The employed catalyst is Pt/CeO2-ZrO2. For the start-up process of the investigated ATR, the sparking plug is employed to ignite methanol, providing thermal energy and heating up the catalyst. As the catalyst meets the self-sustained condition, the sparking plug is shut down and the reforming reaction proceeds to the stable condition. The simulation results show that the start-up process of

Dissertação de mestrado em Tecnologia e Ciência Alimentar<br>Sulphur is the tenth most abundant element in the universe. It is a key element to sustain life on Earth being present in all living tissues as it is a constituent of many biologically active compounds and therefore involved in many biochemical reactions. It is also a critical plant nutrient in agriculture, an ingredient in sustainable urban development and an essential input in efforts to slow the loss of productive farm land due to soil degradation and its depletion. However, the biological and geological sulphur cycles have b

Abstract:

博士<br>國立成功大學<br>環境工程學系<br>104<br>This study is mainly conducted to develop a nitration-anammox reactor system that can be use to remove nitrogen from industrial wastewater with a low hydraulic retention time (HRT) below 0.2 day. In this study, continuous-flow experiments using lab-scale nitritation-anammox reactor systems, including a two-stage aerobic and anoxic fixed-bed reactor system (30 L×2), an one-stage hybrid biofilm-carrier reactor system (10 L) and a granular- sludge reactor (20 L) were first undertaken to explore their capability for removing nitrogen from synthetic wastewater and

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立交通大學<br>環境工程系所<br>102<br>Anammox has been regarded as the most cost effective and efficient nitrogen removal process. However, its real world applications are limited due to long start-up time. Moreover, heavy metals such as zinc are common in several wastewater streams and can affect the anammox process. Therefore, in this study novel carriers were used to retain biomass for fast start-up of the simultaneous partial nitrification, anammox and denitrification (SNAD) process in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) and the short- and long-term effects of the zinc on the SNAD process were inv
