Full textAbstract:
The first participatory or inter-active science centre
in Australia was Questacon, which operated in Canberra for
the eight years, 1980-1988. Its very success lead to its
demise: it became the inspiration for the National Science and Technology Centre which opened in late 1988. Questacon,
in common with many of the World's new breed of science
centres and museums, was modelled on San Francisco's famous
Exploratorium. These new institutions have copied ideas and
even actual exhibits from the Exploratorium, but most of
them have failed to copy the Exploratorium's use of
Explainers, a feature which Exploratorium staff think is
integral to the whole concept. Questacon is one of the
institutions in which an explainer system was established,
although it differed in some significant respects from that
at the Exploratorium.
Participatory science centres have been seen as part of
the answer to the problem of increasing public awareness and
understanding of science. There is a growing body of
literature which is concerned with the learning of science
in informal educational settings, such as in these centres,
but there has been very little work done on the role of
museum docents or their equivalents in this learning. One
study of the Exploratorium's Explainers concentrated on the
value of their work as explainers for the people involved in
the system, in terms of their own personal development.
The aim of the present study was to compare the two
explainer systems and to investigate the work of Questacon
Explainers both in terms of their own personal development
and in their interaction with visitors to the centre.

Thesis (MBA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Centre of Excellence for Invasion Biology (C+B) is a research centre that provides bursaries for post-graduate students to study in the field of "Invasion Biology". One of the goals of the centre is to ensure that 50% of the funded students are from previously disadvantaged groups. However, since its inception in 2004 it has consistently been unable to meet this goal. The researcher, who has insight in the centre's marketing activities and has knowledge of marketing, is of the opinion that the reason for this failure is due to the lack of knowledge of the target market and the lack of a targeted marketing strategy. As background this report investigates the theory related to marketing and whether this is applicable to a centre such as the C-I-B. The conclusion that the marketing theory is relevant to the C-I-B, lead to a market research project that informed the development of a marketing strategy suggestion which the researcher believes will address the stated problem. The report concludes with recommendations to other stakeholders who should address the deeper lying problems which surface at secondary school level.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die Sentrum van Uitnemendheid vir Indringer Biologie (S-I-S) is 'n sentrum wat beurse voorsien vir nagraadse studente wat studeer in die veld van "Indringer Biologie". Een van die sentrum se doelwitte is om te verseker dat 50% van sy studente deur voorheen benadeelde groepe verteenwoordig word. Sedert sy ontstaan in 2004 kon die sentrum nog nooit hierdie doel bereik nie. Die navorser, wat insae het in die bemarkingsaktiwiteite van die sentrum en kennis dra van bemarkingsbeginsels, is van mening dat hierdie probleem die gevolg is van gebrekkige kennis van die teikenmark en 'n gebrek aan 'n gefokusde bemarkingsstrategie. As agtergrond ondersoek hierdie verslag die teorie ten opsigte van bemarking en of hierdie teorie relevant is vir 'n sentrum soos die S-I-B. Die gevolgtrekking was dat die teorie wel relevant is vir die S-I-B en het gelei tot 'n marknavorsingsprojek wat bygedra het tot die ontwikkeling van 'n bemarkingsstrategie voorstel, wat die navorser glo die probleem sal aanspreek. Die verslag sluit af met voorstelle aan die ander belanghebbendes wat verantwoordelikheid behoort te neem vir die dieperliggende probleme wat op sekondere vlak geidentifiseer is.

Published ArticleThe need for a state of the art advanced National Casting Technology Centre (NCTC) has been widely supported throughout industry and recognised as an important facilitator in the growth of the foundry industry. This initiative also aligns itself with the government's Advanced Manufacturing Technology Strategy (AMTS), which is an implementation strategy in support of the South African government's Integrated Manufacturing Strategy (IMS) and National R&D Strategy (NRDS). The AMTS aims at supporting and developing the downstream high technology manufacturing industry, inter alia through the aerospace, automotive and metals sectors.
In light of the above and in an effort to retain and expand the current national skills, expertise and facilities in advanced casting technologies, the National Product Development Centre at the CSIR has initiated a process of establishing a National Casting Technology Centre (NCTC). The establishment of the NCTC provides a supportive technology platform for the Advanced Metals Initiative (AMI), which was launched in 2003.
The primary objective of the NCTC is to preserve and expand the national expertise and capabilities in cast metals manufacturing by supporting the local casting industry with process development, technology transfer and skills enhancement in order to increase their global competitiveness.

Globally education policy, practice and research has emphasized the importance of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) secondary schools in diminishing the skills-gap in STEM disciplines. This research presents an outcome evaluation of a STEM-focused secondary school in the Western Cape of South Africa. The evaluation focused on the academic performance of the COSAT learners in comparison to learners who did not form part of the programme. Additionally, the evaluation focused on the retention of COSAT alumni in STEM disciplines. With increased academic performance of COSAT learners as well as the long-term retention of learners in the STEM field this research provides evidence of the intermediate and long-term impact of a STEM secondary school.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study was to asses the impact of a visit to the NIHERST/NGC National Science Centre in Trinidad on four different school-age visitor groups. The research was conducted through the administering of a post-visit questionnaire immediately upon completion of each visit by each group, and via visitor feedback obtained in post-visit or pre-visit activities conducted within two weeks of the visit for three groups. Teachers/instructors who accompanied the groups on their visit also completed post-visit questionnaires and provided additional information on follow-up activities via an interview. The results of this investigation suggest that the visit to this science centre provided entertainment/enjoyment value and potential educational value to most individuals. The nature of this enjoyment was noted for various age groups and genders in this study. Quantification of the educational impact was not possible within the constraints of this study, which was unable to capture long-term effects of the supply of ‘new knowledge’ to visitors which the visit to the science centre had provided.

furthermore aims to study the economic, social and structural dimensions of information society related policies with the case studies of Turkey and South Korea. Although in 1950s Turkey and South Korea had similar characteristics in terms of basic economic and social indicators, Turkey has lagged behind in South Korea in terms of development perspective and information society parameters. In addition, information society levels of Turkey and South Korea are measured and compared by ICT development index. Information society policies of South Korea and Turkey are analyzed in the scope of national science and technology policies separately. In theoretical perspective, transforming to information society is analyzed on the basis of &ldquo
Deployment policies in the field of ICT&rdquo
and &ldquo
Two models of network policy formation&rdquo
. The findings of the study indicate that, although hegemonic ruler organizations determine science and technology and transforming to information society related policies, government should not apply these policies without considering their internal dynamics. These policies should be re-evaluated and modified in the scope of national advantages and priorities. In addition, this study aims to indicate the importance of the role of science and technology policies on being an information society for 21st century.

Full textAbstract:
For most of his presidency (1789-1797), George Washington worked to establish the federal government's legitimacy in the eyes of America's citizens while trying to gain international respect for the new nation. Although there was a broad elite consensus at the start of the decade it quickly dissipated in the face of basic questions about the federal government's power and scope of authority. Domestic political issues became entangled with foreign policy problems to create an intractable divide between opposing groups of Americans termed the Federalists and the Republicans. The two parties contended to see not only who would administer the government, but also to determine which group would define the new nation's identity.
This study places George Washington at the center of the contest over the formation of America's national identity during the 1790s. Washington envisioned America as the embodiment of Enlightenment ideals of freedom and liberty. He believed it had the potential to stand in stark contrast to the monarchies and despotism of the Old World. The United States could inspire other nations to follow its lead on the path to freedom.
America could only achieve this position if it were secure, united and independent. These three characteristics would give the nation legitimacy on the international stage. In his efforts to establish America's claim to nationhood, Washington incurred the displeasure of the Republican Party who viewed the president as a tool in the hands of Alexander Hamilton and other Federalists. In his quest to establish security, unity, and independence, they argued, the President betrayed the ideals of the Revolution. Ultimately, it was the public who cast aside Washington's vision for American national identity, not because they disagreed with it, but because they had already mythologized Washington to the point where he was more myth than man. He was a living deity who served a symbolic importance for unity, but had little impact on the nation's identity.
Historiographically, no scholar has undertaken an in-depth examination of Washington's political philosophy (as president), and specifically how this philosophy affected the nascent nation-state's identity. Works like Paul Longmore's The Invention of George Washington, Glenn Phelps's George Washington and American Constitutionalism and the recently published, The Political Philosophy of George Washington (Jeffry Morison) examine one aspect of Washington's political beliefs, or focus on a specific chronological period. My exploration of Washington's beliefs (the heart of the studies mentioned above) is only one part of the dissertation. No attempt has been made to investigate Washington's substantive impact on nationalism and identity. David Waldstreicher, Len Travers, and Joanne B. Freeman have all looked at the formation of nationalism and identity in the 1790s, but Washington's political philosophy and presidency earns little of their attention. Washington was the most well regarded American, nationally and internationally, of his era. The lack of a proper study on his political beliefs and their reception among his fellow Americans is a lacuna which the dissertation seeks to remedy.

Molecular nanotechnology has matured in the last thirty-nine years from the germ of an idea by a Nobel Laureate physicist to a rapidly growing international research site with more than $1 billion dollars in annual investment. Although only recently accepted as "mainstream" by the R&D community, nanotechnology research is now populated by eminent researchers in such fields as physics, chemistry, molecular biology, and computer science. Refereed journal articles appear with increasing frequency.
The National Academy of Sciences, the RAND Corporation, the Department of Defense, and the National Science Foundation have recently issued reports calling for more structure and organization in nanotechnology research to improve synergy and research efficiency. Others insist that centralization would restrict independent approaches, one of which might be the best path to follow. This thesis addresses the following issues for the emerging field of molecular nanotechnology:
* The field is extensive, growing, and in need of policy review.
* The parties responsible for strategic science and technology policy in the United States as well as the current infrastructure for R&D funding are identified.
* External evaluators have appraised our current policy and found it lacking in some key respects.
* There are substantive issues that might be considered by American policymakers in assessing nanotechnology policy strategies.
* We need to find a way to reconcile the sometimes conflicting aims of peer review and interdisciplinarity.
* A workable framework for a national nanotechnology program is identified.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
Les rapports complexes qu'entretiennent science et organisation apparaissent clairement au CNRS, établissement public de recherche fondamentale où agissent des couples de forces opposées tels liberté et contrôle, démocratie et hiérarchie, incertitude et choix, diversité et centralisation. L'analyse empirique de quatre sections dans deux départements en physique et en biologie montre comment les dispositifs institutionnels d'évaluation et de décision sont mobilisés par les acteurs dans l'exercice délicat du gouvernement des scientifiques et des laboratoires. Entre les deux pôles qui y participent, celui des instances représentatives délibérantes du comite national et celui des instances de direction, progressivement renforcé aux dépens du premier simplement consultatif, s'établit une coopération plus ou moins conflictuelle, marquée par l'argumentation et la négociation. Notre décryptage du fonctionnement des commissions, dont les membres disposent d'une autonomie de jugement sans être affranchis de contraintes cognitives et organisationnelles, conduit à envisager l'évaluation comme un processus de construction sociale de choix collectifs : différentes conceptions du mérite scientifique et de gestion de la recherche, ainsi que plusieurs expressions d'une représentation polymorphe, se forment, évoluent et sont agrégées à l'aide de mécanismes de délibération et de procédures de décision spécifiques. De même que la composition des commissions influe sur les styles qui se dessinent pendant une législature, de même les modalités de pilotage des départements se révèlent étroitement liées aux personnes des dirigeants, à l'intérieur du cadre réglementaire et stratégique de l'établissement : l'organisation du travail des équipes de direction et la mise en œuvre des décisions d'allocation de ressources différencient les deux secteurs étudiés, tandis que des traits communs interdisent d'assimiler les directions scientifiques à une hiérarchie coupée de la base.

In Russia the most widely used library classifications are the national scheme BBK (Library Bibliographic Classification) and the UDC. The Russian National Public Library for Science and Technology is the leading scientific and technical library in Russia. It has a long tradition of classifying literature according to the UDC which started back in 1963. For many years the Library provided support for classification by UDC and also assisted in the areas of research and information while also acting as a supervisor in the matter of indexing for the network of scientific and technical libraries of Russia and the USSR. The paper describes the use of UDC in the environment of the electronic catalogue and the automated library system.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is about the application of the implementation approach to innovation policy in the nanotechnology area. The objective of this thesis is to study the implementation of the Korean National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) through the main factors affecting the implementation process regarding policy formation process by describing and analysing the implementation gap in the Korean NNI and to suggest policy recommendation for reducing the implementation gap by using the link between formation and implementation and Techno-Economic Network (TEN). The gap between policy expectations and policy outcomes in the Korean NNI is identified in terms of the mismatching of the number of planned and implemented research facilities, poor implementation of the education of human resources and the delay of nanotechnology assessment. The research questions were formulated in terms of the main factors affecting the implementation process, the relationship of these main factors with the formation process and the reasons for the implementation gap between policy expectations and outcomes. A single case study approach was adopted as a research strategy to answer research questions using documentary investigation and interviews as the main data collection methods. A literature review was performed in terms of nanotechnology and its evolution, policy evolution in the implementation process, in order to identify factors constraining the implementation of policy. Research framework is constructed on the basis of a topdown approach with the consideration of policy formation process. Research propositions are formulated to find factors affecting the implementation process in terms of environment, policy contents, and implementation component. As a result of analysis, the main factors affecting the implementation process are the characteristics of nanotechnology, societal implication, and institutional and policy constraint. These factors are related to the symbolic agreements and ambiguous priority setting in the formation process. The implementation gap is explained in terms of factors affecting the implementation of policy and characteristics of the formation process. Interdisciplinarity and societal implication of nanotechnology caused implementation gap such as delay in nanotechnology assessment and poor implementation of education of human resource in connection with the limited time and imbalanced priority setting between development and regulation in the formation process. Institutional and policy constraint caused implementation gap such as an oversupply of research facilities in connection with the lack of consensus and ambiguous priority setting in the formation process. The implementation gap is discussed in terms of policy evolution for the innovation policy using the concept of TEN. Finally, it is hoped that this thesis contributes to the understanding of implementation process of the Korean NNI, the widening of implementation analysis by application to the STI policy area and the policy recommendations for the governance system for the innovation policy.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the research was to investigate the current state of scientific and technological (S&T) information service provision in Thailand with a focus on its role of supporting research and development. The ultimate goal of the research was to develop a service model(s) which could aid the modernisation of the S&T information service. The information policies and strategic management at national and institutional levels were examined together with present and future roles in service provision and barriers to S&T information development. The research framework was constructed on the basis of theoretical models of the provision and management of effective information services. The institutions which participated in this research included 46 academic and special libraries in Thailand, hereafter called S&T information centres, and two funding agencies. The data were collected using a variety of research tools, employing both quantitative and qualitative methods, namely, questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and focus groups. The questionnaires were distributed to five groups of respondents: executives, managers, librarians or staff, end-users, and executives or policy-makers of funding agencies. Two hundred and eighty-nine questionnaires were sent by post to 45 S&T information centres and two funding agencies whilst 703 questionnaires were also distributed to end-users. Interviews were performed with 55 executives and library managers. Three focus groups were organised on different topics, with a total of 36 participants. The major findings showed that national information policy in relation to S&T information was still relatively ineffective with roles and responsibilities of stakeholders not explicitly identified. In general, the results showed that institutional information policies exist but weak communication between executives, managers, and staff caused problems with implementation and interpretation. Most S&T centres were found to have strategic plans. The focus of these were on issues of integrated ICT infrastructure, acquisition of electronic resources, service improvement, communication with users and feedback, user education, cost effective use of resources, E-library transition and knowledge sharing. The development of resource sharing via computerised networks was considered to be paramount; progress to date was thought to be slow due to a lack of policies at national and institutional levels. Users' information literacy was still found to be an issue, particularly in respect of making effective use of electronic resources. The thesis provided recommendations for a national network for S&T information provision to be designed and managed by a hosting provider.

Full textAbstract:
Australia's space activities since the early sixties have been science-oriented and uncoordinated. As a result, Australia has been unable to develop a long-term sustainable domestic technological capability; with industry being dependent on government funding for its involvement in the nation's space plan. This thesis examines public policy aspects focussing on technology independence that is the building of competencies for the sustainable development of an industry. It compares national technological development by relating Australia's recent space-related successes and failures to those of other nations (especially selected Asian countries and Israel). The overarching research problem addressed within this thesis examined the Australian national space policy and strategy since 1984.It investigated why the Australian Space Industry Development Strategy was not a successful influence on the development of a long-term sustainable national technological base or on the establishment of a viable commercial space-related industry in Australia. The research included the development of a strategic multilevel planning system involving a network innovation model into a nation's space science and technology policy development. The outcomes of the research reported in the thesis are discussed. The level of technological capability and capacity is a direct, inversely related factor to an increase in the degree in technology dependency. Australia needs a change of philosophy by accepting the global challenge through defining and supporting, within a national strategic planning, a national space strategy that incorporates network innovation concepts: a concept that must involve a balanced supply (science) and demand (commercial) characteristics of an innovation network system.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) (Management)

The World Health Organization estimates that up to 30% of individuals in developed countries become ill from food or water each year, with up to 70% of these illnesses estimated to be linked to food service. Restaurant inspections aim to prevent restaurant-associated foodborne outbreaks while enhancing consumer confidence in the safety of food prepared in these establishments. Inspection disclosure systems have been developed as a tool for consumers and incentive for foodservice operators. Disclsosure systems are common in developed countries; however, they are inconsistent. Previous research has not determined the best format to disclose inspection results to the public while providing incentives for operators. This research aimed to develop a consistent, compelling and trusted disclosure system for New Zealand. The research evaluated existing disclosure systems operating internationally and nationally. The national review interviewed with Environmental Health Officers (EHOs)(n=8), operators (n=109) and consumers (n=244), and findings were used for card designs. Cards were evaluated internally (n=43), then by 11 focus groups (n=68). Two cards, letter and gauge, were introduced to food premises (n=371) in six districts for three months for evaluation. Operators (n=269) and consumers (n=991) were interviewed to determine which design best communicated inspection results. The majority of operators indicated they had not received consumer feedback about the card, and half felt the card was something consumers would use. Less than half of consumers indicated they noticed cards prior to entering a premises; from these data it appeared the letter attracted more initial attention (78% of respondents) than the gauge (45%). Consumers indicated card placement was an important factor in noticing cards. Nearly all interviewed consumers indicated they expected cards at restaurants, take-aways and fish n’ chips shops. When asked which card they preferred, 58% (n=38) of operators with the gauge preferred the letter; and 79% (n=47) of operators with the letter preferred the letter. Consumer preference was for the letter, with 88% (n=133) of those in gauge districts preferring the letter, and 72% (n=161) of those in letter districts preferring the letter. Based on these data the letter card was recommended for a national inspection disclosure system for New Zealand.

The rhetoric and apparatus of national security have played critical roles in American controversies over animal and human experimentation from the dawn of the Twentieth Century to today's "War on Terror." Drawing on archival and Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) research, this dissertation traces how American partisans in the enduring vivisection controversy have sought to mobilize national security concerns to tar their domestic political adversaries as enemy agents of foreign enemies from the Kaiser and Hitler to Stalin and Al-Qaeda. Further, this study explores how these efforts have intersected with issues of gender, slavery, and the pathologizing of political dissent, as well as campaigns for the absolute freedom of research, the functioning of Nazism and the Holocaust in the American political imagination, civil liberties in the Post-9/11 world, and ongoing debates over animal rights, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and domestic terrorism.

The purpose of this study was to explore the characteristics of learning, the constructive strategies of science concepts and the factors of effect, of the adult audiences in the Science Exploration Center of National Science and Technology Museum. Three participants were selected based on "the principles of choosing participants" developed by researcher. "Think-aloud" method was adopted to collect the data. According to the outcome of interview and analysis, this research summarized the following conclusions: 1.based on prior knowledge or experiences: the basic strategy was " to connect prior knowledge or experiences with new science concepts" ; the flexible strategies included "browsing exposition rapidly" , "transferring of learning" and "inference". 2.clues of context: the basic strategy was " search clues from context" ; the flexible strategies included " control factors" , " reasoning" and " metacognition" 3.trial-and-error: the basic strategy was " trial-and-error" ; the flexible strategies included " assumption" , "search clues from context" , "to connect prior knowledge or experiences with new science concepts" and" analogy" . According to the learning route ,the researcher named the two former as “circulative constructor”, the later as “linear constructor”. The factors that influenced circulative constructor included lacking of key concepts of exhibition, resource of exposition, and depth of concepts of exhibition, and monotone of operation. The factors that influenced linear constructor included lacking of prior knowledge, practices of science skill and relative resource of exhibition , and long exposition.In the conclusion, concrete suggestions were put forward respectively to the museum toward contents of exhibition and adult learning..

The education of the 21st century emphasizes on the combination of school children’s real life experience and theory. To cope with this contemporary trend, the museum has become one of the most important places where school children can put what they learned into practice. The purpose of this research is to understand school children’s motivation and expectations of visiting museums, feelings towards the exhibition atmosphere, the interaction with the exhibits and their learning and acquisition. We sent out the questionnaires to the fourth, fifth and sixth graders of the year 2009 in the Open Sesame Science Exploration center and retrieved 583 valid questionnaires. Then, we analyzed the statistical data by Descriptive Statistics, t-test, ANOVA and Scheffe’s Post-hoc Comparison methods. The results are as follows: 1. School children go to museums with the company of parents or on the occasion of field trips. 49.7% of the questionaireees visited the Open Sesame Science Exploration Center for the first time and children’s gender and grades, the age difference, influence their motivation and expectations of visiting museums, feelings towards the exhibition atmosphere, the interaction with the exhibits and their learning and acquisition. 2. School children’s general visiting experience of the Open Sesame Science Exploration Center is fine. But the average of their feelings towards the exhibition atmosphere is comparatively lower, which indicates there is still a lot to improve about the museum environment and facilities. 3. The top visiting motivation is “Leisure and Entertainment”, the top expectation for museums is “an interesting place”, and the feelings for the exhibition atmosphere are “Clear Visiting Route of Exploration Center.” Different graders show distinctive difference on the interaction with exhibits and learning and acquisition. Finally, the results of this study give certain recommendations for elementary school children, schools, and the National Science and Technology Museum to improve the future teaching and activities.

The function of museums besides collections, exhibitions, education and research is that; the modern museum has also gained entertainment functionality too. More and more people are interested in challenges and entertainment types of museums, especially in this time, where everything changes so rapidly and is so busy or difficult to catch up with the latest technology in our daily life. Therefore, in order for museum visitors to enjoy visiting and learning about the meaning of exhibition; museums can be creative in many ways of exhibition and educational actives. Among those exhibitions and educational activities, the most attractive to visitors are recreational exhibitions and interactive activities. This theory was based on the National Museum of Natural Science of “ Giant Panda Exhibition ” and the National Science & Technology Museum of “Children’s Science Center” for my research. On the other hand, I also analyze the personal context and the interactive experience of museum including social context revolution play of the theory and cognitive psychology and point of view of play in social science. Research results discover the National Museum of Natural Science of “ Giant Panda Exhibition ” focus on parallel-functional play and solitary-imaginative play; “Children’s Science Center” has many different kinds of activities but they aren’t developing as expected. From both museums we can usually see the development of the playing exhibition, the functional play of exhibition is developing better then the others in my personal opinion. The construction play of exhibition games with rules of exhibitions, and imaginative plays of exhibition aren’t complicated developing but their operations are usually designed by pressing buttons, turning and opening up. The social interactive usually focus on parallel-functional play and solitary-imaginative play but not so many on group activities. In conclusion, number one：designers should develop more of the creative and challenging types of play exhibitions; they should be suitable for all ages groups so visitors can fully enjoy and play together, and also produce multifunctional products of exhibition. Number two: designing play types of exhibitions should suit for all age of people with young hearts. Number three: planning the play types of exhibitions should also be included the game expert for the instructor and developing more of different levels of play exhibitions in order for all kinds of age groups to enjoy.

So far, taking oral guide through tour guide in museum navigation is still a general way. However, that way is much abstractive for learners to completely understand the meaning after the guiding activities. Augmented Reality Navigation System idea could make up the abstract issue turned the virtual exhibition materials into verisimilitude materials. Hence learners could feel immersive in the museum setting. Augmented Reality Navigation System with powerful multimedia features was suitable to transmit the abstract conception through the character, photograph, audio, video or web pages. It could stimulate the learner's senses, in order to achieve better learning in the museum. In this study, researcher tried to develop an augmented reality navigational system for museum to enhance the effectiveness of guide. The participants were 6th grade students. And learning subjects was the elementary science and technology. The students were required to use augmented reality navigation system to learn science and technology in the museum. After the teaching experiment, the result showed that experimental group had better learning result than control group. However, experimental group did not have better learning retention than control group. For further understanding, researcher conducted interview collect detail reaction data from participants. Finally, this study concluded some results and posted further suggestions for future research.

Despite the rise in internet usage, many people still go to public libraries to gather informaiton and find resources. With rapid invention and daily use of mobile phones, libraries are also challenged in satisfying their customer's needs by providing more efficient ways to search information. However, the book finding systems nowadays in most libraries are restricted to literal descriptions. With limited data, users are often find it difficult and time-consuming to get the precise book location. This study adopts technologies including information visualization, user interface, Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Apache Cordova, database, and web service to build a cross-platform application for mobile phones (this study is based on Android system). This application enables mobile phone users to search book location through a powerful graphic display. The visual presentation makes it easier for all users to discover book location within a short period of time. Moreover, with its user-friendly design, new users can also utilize this application intuitively. In this study, we use the research method of system design, planning and display to illustrate how to improve the efficiency of the users finding books by information visualization. The process of user-centered design way to do the design and development, and assess system acceptance and satisfaction by questionnaires, to illustrate the system can improve the efficiency of finding books.

The primary purpose of this study is to explore the implication of permanent exhibition in the National Taiwan Science Education Center (hereunder “Science Education Center”) and the relationship of grade 1-9 science and technology. The researcher establishes the database of 368 pieces of permanent exhibition from the third floor to the sixth floor in the Science Education Center based on different exhibition areas by visit survey, exhibition data collection and develops the analysis item table according to science and technology. Two judges and the research hold a meeting to discuss and annotate the implication of science and technology, develop assessment principles of exhibition implication, simultaneously interview and communicate with the Science Education Center members to enhance cognition and understanding of exhibition implication with assistance of sound recording, video and the notes taken by the researcher when reading a book to enhance research depth, and appraise exhibition implication together by the analysis procedure of content analysis. Both the reliability acquired by the judges and researcher are 0.94. The research results describe in turn the relevant arrangement conditions of the theme and sub-theme listed in the permanent exhibition area of the Science Education Center and in science and technology as follows: 1. Regarding coverage item number, the “Amazing World of Physics” in the exhibition area has the highest proportion, which accounts for 24.62% of the whole coverage item number of the eight main permanent exhibition areas in the Science Education Center. Regarding coverage number, “Biodiversity” in the exhibition area has the highest proportion, which accounts for 25.14% of the whole coverage number of the eight main permanent exhibition areas in the Science Education Center. 2. The item numbers of science and technology at the fourth stage cover the most in the whole eight main permanent exhibition areas in the Science Education Center, which a ccounts for 48.1% of the whole coverage item numbers of the eight main permanent exhibition areas in the Science Education Center. The coverage item numbers at the first stage are the fewest, accounting for 8.60%. 3. In the whole exhibits of the eight main permanent exhibition areas in the Science Education Center, the coverage numbers of the theme “Ecological Prevention” are the most, which accounts for 23.63% and those of the theme “Creation and Civilization” are the fewest, which only accounts for 0.11% of the whole proportion. Regarding the coverage item numbers, those of the sub-theme “Biology and Environment” are the most, which accounts for 14.47% of the whole proportion. There are six sub-themes of “Organic Compound”, “Food”, “Materials”, “Residence”, “Transportation”, and “Creativity and Manufacture” are completely not covered in the eight main permanent exhibition areas in the Science Education Center. 4. The 36 coverage items of Science and Technology in the eight main permanent exhibition areas in the Science Education Center appear at least 10 times,, accounting for 48.38% of the overall coverage numbers in the permanent exhibition areas in the Science Education Center, which shows that the appearance proportion of science and technology is distributed unevenly and leaves improvement space to be thought of. 5. The exhibit numbers of two categories “Biology” and “Physics” of the whole exhibits in the eight main permanent exhibition areas in the Science Education Center are the most with the highest relevant proportion of science and technology, whereas those of two categories “Chemistry” and “Geoscience” are the fewest with relatively low relevant proportion of science and technology.

Timber construction is eco-friendly because it reduces the carbon footprint of buildings through carbon storage and low carbon emissions during the manufacturing process. This study is conducted to document the construction process and analyze carbon emission of a one story, 49.51 m2 experimental building on NTUST campus. Tokushima prefecture, Japan donated all the timber and provided direction for both the design and construction process of the principle structure in accord with the architectural and sustainability design by NTUST researchers, architect and contractors. Detailed documentation includes the process of individual work items, in particular regarding machinery, vehicles and other forms of energy consumption. Carbon emission for the timber parts was calculated by tracing the carbon storage and energy consumption up to the point reaching the construction site as well as on-site energy use associated with timber. On-site energy use and transportation was calculated for the other parts to derive carbon emission data and transportation in addition to the published emission data of supplied materials for the other parts. As a result, the principle timer structure with mortise and tenon joints including roofing and flooring was completed in 7 hours. Carbon emission per floor area with and without transportation by sea is 86.2 kg-CO2e and 1,241.9 kg-CO2e, respectively. The slightly lower value in comparison with published data can be attributed to the greater per floor timber use and the natural dry process of the log. The construction process and emission data of this research can be used as the reference for planning new timber construction in regard to carbon emission and overall sustainability performance.

Abstract : The most of contract mode in Taiwan are Design-Bid-Build (DBB).The architecture or engineering firms commissioned by owner will develop feasibility study, basic design and detail design, at the same time, the contractor will not be decided before bidding procedure. All the equipment and material will not be approved by owner, those equipment size and interface location is not confirmed neither. Hence, all the equipment size are designed size in design phase, and not for real size in construction phase. You have to do again CSD/SEM (Combined Service Drawing / Structure, Electrical and，Mechanical)in construction phase, even though you have done in design phase. The reason is all the equipment size and interface location are different for both phases. All the piping routine and direction will be revised again according to approved equipment that provides real size and interface location, and it will be resulted in CSD/SEM again for those revised piping. In view of this, the BIM in design phase will be built for trunk piping and bigger equipment in order to review space location and line planning reasonability. This phase is not for planning branch piping location, because the thing changed is often happened during construction phase. Actually, the most of piping layout in design phase are not sure for during construction phase. We will discuss which level of development of BIM in design phase that can be extended to the construction phase for continuous utilization to avoid doing redundant effort without getting any benefits from BIM.

The importance of the petrochemical industry cannot be overstated. It is the basis of people's livelihood and modern society is very dependent on it. However, over the long-term operation harmful factors may become involved in storage and manufacturing facilities due to the flammable, explosive, toxic and corrosive properties of materials in this industry. A series of industrial accidents including fires, explosions and air pollution occurred in Formosa Petrochemical Company’s and Chinese Petroleum Corporation’s domestic factories between 2010 and 2011 which immediately caused nearby residents to oppose those plants. Thus, to being the focus of national public opinion, those events also resulted in inestimable losses of social resources as well as industrial materials, equipment and orders. The increasing number of fire disasters at petrochemical plants have caused great anxiety in the public as well as social attention. The firefighting crews, essentially working in disaster relief, can only directly save the dangerous petrochemical substances and reduce losses, but have difficulty dealing with easily-derived secondary disasters caused by pollution due to the quick spread of a large number of highly hazardous chemical leaks. Therefore, this study collected data from Yulin County Fire Department on the fires that occurred at Formosa Petrochemical Complex and, based on the fire investigations, analyzed the risks of fire and explosion of those incidents and proposed further risk factors as well as evaluated the probability of fire occurrence by fault tree analysis. In addition, this study, using the viewpoint of risk management, promoted the concept of prevention being better than disaster relief with an expectation to minimize explosion risk and fire damage.

Test 1. Nilegrass (Acroceras macrum) is a perennial forage grass. There were five different germplasms of nilegrass such as AC14, AC26, AC29, AC30 and AC32 involved in the experiment and Nilegrass Taishi No.1 (AC15) was used as check variety. The aim was to explore the agronomic traits, dry matter weight and forage quality of above nilegrass lines. It was tested in Naipu, Pingtung from 2001 to 2003 by cutting every eight weeks. The result showed that dry matter weight (DMW) was the highest with 7.8 Mt/ha/cut in summer and lowest with 3.6 Mt/ha/cut in winter. And with 4.7 Mt/ha/cut and 5.5 Mt/ha/cut in spring and fall were not different（P>0.05）. It showed that crude protein (CP) was the highest with 11.2 % in winter, next CP with 10% and 9.6 % in spring and summer, respectively and the lowest with 8.9 % in fall. Acid detergent fiber (ADF) was the largest with 38 % in fall and the smallest with 32.4 % in winter. It was not different of ADF between fall and summer（P>0.05）. The contents of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) were the highest with 66.4 % in fall and the orders of the other seasons similar with those in ADF. The toppest leaf collar height and plant height were 68 and 80 cm in summer and 34 and 48 cm in winter, respectively. It was not different of the leaf number of nilegrass among four seasons. Brown leaf rate was the highest with 36.1 % in fall and the lowest with 21.0 % in winter. It can be shown that the brown leaf rate lower the forage quality better. The dry matter rates average about 22 % were not different among four seasons too（P>0.05）. Lines AC15 and AC30 both had the highest DMW with 6.5 Mt/ha/cut. Lines AC14 was 5.7 Mt/ha/cut and the others were lower. It indicated that AC30 and AC32 had the highest contents both with 10.2 % and the other lines were lower but not different（P>0.05）. The content of ADF of AC14 was 34.6 % the lowest and those of the other lines were higher but not different each other（P>0.05）. The contents of NDF of AC30 and AC14 were 63.4 % and 63 % the lowest among 6 lines. AC15 had the largest toppest leaf collar height (TLH) and plant height (PH) with 56 cm and 71 cm respectively. In contrast, AC14 had the lowest TLH and PH wit 43 cm and 59 cm respectively. The line of AC32 had the highest brown leaf rate with 30.3% and AC14 had the lowest with 22 %. However, the brown leaf rates of AC30 and AC15 with 26.7 % and 26.4 % were moderate among six lines. From above mentioned results, it indicated that AC30 could be a better line with higher forage yield, higher crude protein, moderate acid and neutral detergent fibers and relative feeding value. AC30 line also can provide the breeders as the breeding materials and be released as an elite variety for farmer to grow to feed the dairy cows or goats. Test 2. Nilegrass (Acroceras macrum Stapf ) is a C3 type plant with perennial habit. It can be made hay and silage as forage for livestock. The objectives of this thesis were to study the affects on agronomic traits, dry matter weight, (DMW), crude protein (CP), acid (ADF) and neutral (NDF) detergent fibers and relative feeding value (RFV) of Nilegrass Taishi No.1 under four different seasons and five cuts. The treatments of five cuts of nilegrass were growing at 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 weeks. The result showed it was highly significantly different among four seasons and five cuts on the agronomic traits including plant height, the toppest and brown leaf collar heights, green and brown leaf numbers, DMW, CP, ADF. NDF and RFV which were also significantly affected by the interactions of seasons × cuts. The whole year’s data were combined to compute by statistic. The result showed that Nilegrass Taishi No. 1 was the highest with 6.1 Mt/ha/cut in summer, DMW of and next 4.8 Mt/ha/cut in Fall, and next 4.1 Mt/ha/cut in spring, It was the lowest with 2.4 Mt/ha/cut in winter. However it had the lowest crude protein 9.0 % in summer and the highest crude protein 15.7 % in winter. ADF and NDF were the highest with 36.8 % and 65.3 % in summer and the lowest with 28.7 % and 52.6 % in winter. RFV was the lowest with 109 in summer and the lowest with 150 in winter. From above-mentioned results. It indicated that Nilegrass Taishi No.1 had the highest DMW but lower forage quality in summer and oppositely in winter. Further, it showed that DMW was the highest with 7 Mt/ha/cut and CP 7.4 % was the lowest when harvest at 12 weeks after cutting. but DMW 4.4 Mt/ha/cut, CP 9.7 % and RFV 116 at 8 weeks after cutting. Obviously, the forage production and forage quality were highly significant different among different cutting stages. The DMW, ADF, NDF increased with growth weeks advanced. The CP and RFV decreased as the cutting was delayed. The highly significantly positive correlations were observed between toppest leaf collar height (TLH), plant height (PH), brown leaf collar height (BLH), DMW, ADF and NDF. However, CP was highly significantly negative correlated with each above-mentioned traits. Besides, stepwise multiple regression analysis was conducted by using DMW, CP, ADF, NDF and RFV as dependent variables. A quantitative measurement of the order of importance of the variables entering the equations was shown by increasing in R2 for each independent variable. It indicated that PH entered the equation first when DMW and CP were used as dependent variables. The contributions of TLH to ADF, NDF and RFV were all the greatest in three equations. The correlation coefficient was 0.97 highly significantly positive between TLH and PH. The error of mean square of TLH was 63.48 lower than that of PH. It indicated that TLH had higher stability. Therefore, it was suggested that toppest leaf collar height could be used as an index trait to evaluate the forage production and quality of Nilegrass Taishi No.1. According to different seasons, Nilegrass Taish No.1 produced DMW 6.5 Mt/ha/cut with CP 9.4 % and RFV 103 when TLH reached 68 cm about growing 10 weeks in spring. And it produced DMW 5.3 Mt/ha/cut with CP 8.5 % and RFV 113 when TLH reached 63cm about growing 6 week in summer, while it produced DMW 6.1 Mt/ha/cut with CP 8.5 % and RFV 113 when TLH reached 61 cm about growing 8 weeks in fall. However, when it cut at 12 week in winter. Taishi No.1 had toppest leaf collar height only 44 cm, DMW 5 Mt/ha/cut, CP 10 %, ADF, NDF, and RFV 143 which still were good quality. Therefore, it maybe cut later and will get more production and still get good quality in winter.

Research area in the present study was divided into three sites, they were located at Da-Tye farmland of Taiwan Sugar Company, campus of National Pingtung University of Science and Technology(NPUST), and the area of Pingtung Airport, respectively. The aim was to investigate dust deposition on the leaf surface of various trees planted for a green belt to understand the effect on the deposition of suspend atmospheric pollutants(dust). Results of the collection in both dry and raing seasons for two years were analyzed. In 2007, in Da-Tye farmland, mean maximum of dust deposited were ranked 828472 μg/m2 and 749637 μg/m2 by Pterocarpus indicus and Cinnamomum camphora respectively. In NPUST campus, amount of dust deposition collected by plant of Macaranga tanarius and Broussonetia papyrifera were 762569 μg/m2 and 716258 μg/m2 respectively. In the area of Pingtung airport, amount of dust deposited on leaves of Alstonia schlaris and Koelreuteria henryi along the both roadsides, receive more dust near road than farer one. In 2008, compared the dust deposition of dry and wet season, both east and west side on Da-Tye farmland, and NPUST campus, the amount of dust deposited of various species in dry season were more than wet. In the area of Pingtung airport, amount of dust deposited on leave of Pongamia pinnata planted no matter how far from the road, in dry season the amount of deposited dust were lager than wet. Compared the three experimental sites, amount of dust deposited per hectare in east side of Da-Tye farmland were higher west, in the south side of Pingtung airport were more than north, in the NPUST campus were higher Da-Tye farmland west side and Pingtung airport north side.

Blood parrot is one of the most important ornamental fish. The blood parrot farmers are persecuted by the problem of discoloration. Thus, this research examined the effect of different water temperature, different pH and different photoperiods on the growth, survival, total harvest, feed conversion and discoloration rate of blood parrot. The water quality of ammonia, nitrite, dissolved oxygen, pH and water temperature were analyzed as a reference data to evaluate the environmental quality. The results show that water temperature would affect the growth, discoloration, total harvest and feed conservation of blood parrot. The best growth, discoloration and total harvest, but poorer feed conservation were found in the higher water temperature (32oC) treatment. Whereas, poorer growth was found at lower water temperature (18 oC), and no discoloration of fish was found at the 18 oC treatment. For pH trials, the best growth, total harvest and survival of blood parrot were reared in water of weak acid (pH 6-7) and neutral (~pH 7) water, but poor discoloration rate was also observed in this treatment. For pH 8-9 treatment, growth, total harvest and survival rate of fish were lower as compared to the treatments of pH 6-7 and without pH treatment, but the higher discoloration rate was found at pH 8-9 treatment. For photoperiod trials, the best growth, brilliant color, the highest total harvest and the best discoloration were found in the condition of continually light (L24:D0). Whereas, the poor activity, poor growth and the worst total harvest were cultured in the environment of dark (L0:D24), and the poor discoloration in dark treatment was worse than L24:D0 treatment. To sum up of all results, for better grow out of blood parrot, the higher water temperature (32), weak acid (pH 6-7) and longer photoperiod (L24:D0) were suggested. For better discoloration of fish, the higher water temperature (32), weak basic (pH 8-9) and longer photoperiod (L24:D0) were recommended

In bibliometric data lie opportunities to develop indicators relevant to central concerns of new theories of innovation, specifically networks within and between national systems, and variety and diversity of capability. The data can make a unique contribution to pictures compiled from multiple sources, providing an unrivalled objective, disaggregated and internationally comparable time series signature of networks and capabilities. In this paper, we present what we call systemic bibliometric indicators to distinguish our disaggregated, network-focused, time series approach from classical bibliometrics.
On average, the British innovation system participates in 9% of the publications produced by the global innovation system and 28.5% of those publications involving an EU institution. Its participation is approximately 20% greater than the German innovation system and 70% greater than the French system.
UK innovation system papers have slightly less impact on the global innovation system than US innovation system papers but more impact than any of the other innovation systems we have examined. The growth in impact of UK research on the global world-wide research system is the same as the Germany system, less than the US system and greater than the remaining innovation systems.
The distribution of the top twenty scientific subfields world-wide is quite different from the distribution in the global system and other innovation systems. Five of the worldâ s top twenty subfields (applied physics, condensed matter physics, analytical chemistry, physiology and cardiovascular systems) are not ranked in the top twenty UK subfields. The size distribution of scientific subfields suggests that the British innovation system has its own unique characteristics.

In the era of knowledge economy, science and technology (S&T) play key roles in national competitiveness. Science and technology involve competitive advantages derived from human talent. Therefore, human resources in science and technology (HRST) are crucial survival and growth factors for economies. Although traditional analysis of national competitiveness can display a country’s overall competitive advantages, it is unable to highlight the national competitive advantage derived from technological applications. National HRST competitiveness analyzes how nations manage HRST to achieve prosperity. Evaluating HRST competitiveness can direct national policy makers toward enhancing S&T policies. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the competitiveness of national HRST. The primary aim of this study was to choose evaluation indicators. Second, this study designed and evaluated approaches for national HRST competitiveness. Finally, this paper discusses how HRST competitiveness affects national competitiveness. This study was based on these criteria from the national competitiveness index provided by the World Competitiveness Yearbook (WCY) published by the International Institute of Management Development (IMD), and selected HRST competitiveness evaluation indicators. This study adopted the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine the optimal evaluation indicators for HRST competitiveness. Because competitiveness implies elements of productivity, efficiency, and profitability (IMD, 2010), this study adopted HRST competitiveness indicators to evaluate HRST productivity, efficiency, and profitability. This study performed Date Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to measure the efficiency and productivity of national HRST and conducted profitability analysis to evaluate HRST competitiveness. The result facilitates understanding of the HRST efficiency and contribution of various countries. The conclusion is based on different national economic development stages to discuss national HRST competitiveness. This study suggests different indicators of various evaluation models to analyze national HRST competitiveness.

The CO2 emissions caused by automobile application have accumulated up to a point that the CO2 absorbs the short wave and thus increase the atmosphere temperate year by year. The broken Ozone layer on the north and sound poles top atmosphere allows the untra violet to penetrate the atmosphere and become harmful to living things. These are cause by the automobile exhaust, chemical compound waste, industrial exhaust gases, etc. The efforts on the improvement of gasoline performance to reduce these damage are; however, not enough and efficient at all. Many governments among the world has investigated the possible replacement fuel which includes LPG, CNG, and fuel cell. The most encouraging technology studied recently is the hydrogen-fueled fuel cell. This technology is stil lack the key technology on the application level. Thus, this study will investigate the foreign and domestic development of this hydrogen fueled fuel cell and its feasibility of substantial application in Taiwan. This study has the review of fuel cell technology and uses the Greet 1.6 Program to simulate the hydrogen-fueled fuel cell technology. Then the well-to-pump and well-to-wheel overall emissions generated by the fuel cell are compared to the tradition exhaust emissions cause by gasoline, by diesel , and by LPG engines. Also the setting parameter in this program are also varied to study their sensitivity on the results. .

The southwestern plain of Taiwan is mainly covered by young Quaternary Holocence alluvium, composed of sand, silt, clay and gravel. As a soft ground in an engineering sense, highway embankments built on this region may experience severe settlement problems, so that settlement prediction plays an important role in the design stage. However, conventional settlement evaluation techniques are only accessible to consulting engineers but not transparent to field engineers. On the other hand, some literature studies have concluded that the difference between predicted settlement and in-situ measured one is usually considerable. The thesis is intended to establish a preliminary prediction model of embankment settlement primarily based on the data of boreholes, embankments, and field measurement along two east-west highways (Route 78: Taisi-Kukan and Route 82: Tungshi-Chiayi, abbreviated as HW78 and HW82, respectively), using the neural network analysis (NNA). In this research, ten evaluation factors, among which six ground parameters require additional unification, were first selected from various ones, to predict the embankment settlement. Totally, 109 sets of data collected from HW78 were divided into three categories (I, II, III), each of which was adopted to perform the training part of NNA, followed by verification of the resultant model according to the remaining 8~16 data sets of HW78 and 8~13 data sets of HW82. The average and standard deviation of deviation percentage (m|e|,se) were defined for the checking purpose, and the results were compared with the consulting design and computation ones. The linear model of NNA was also used to determine the importance order of ten evaluation factors, from which the influence of reduced number of evaluation factors on the prediction model was studied with three modes (Modes 1,2,3 for 10, 8, 6 factors, respectively). The verification results based on the remaining 8~16 data sets of HW78 depicted that (m|e|,se) of the NNA-generated nonlinear prediction model were both less than those of consulting design and computation ones (by around 50%), and it can serve as a quick tool in the near future for predicting embankment settlement in the studied area. The linear model of NNA pointed out the most important factor to be the fill height (h) for all three categories, implying the less variance of other factors in the studied area. On the other hand, in the verification stage using the 8~13 data sets of HW82, the ANN-generated nonlinear prediction model yielded a little higher (m|e|,se) than the consulting design and computation ones, indicating that the site condition along HW82 is somewhat different from that of HW78. It implies improving the applicability of this ANN model to the Chiayi area requires adding more data sets along HW82. In the study of reduced number of evaluation factors, reduction of the number of evaluation factors up to 4 (Mode 3) took a cost of increasing (m|e|,se) by about 30%; thus, it is up to the decision of site engineers to pick up of the right number of evaluation factors.

In recent years, governments and schools in Taiwan have cooperated to reduce electricity usage in order to fulfill the national “Energy-saving and Carbon-reducing measures”.The universities in Taiwan, which are the main users of electricity for educational purpose, are demanded to develop and achieve carbon neutral. National Pingtung University of Science and Technology (NPUST) was selected in this study as an example. The research collected activity intensity in the campus of NPUST, and defined the green house gas (GHG) emissions category. According to greenhouse gas quantitative methods, the greenhouse gas emissions were calculated and then a detailed list of greenhouse gas produced from the NPUST campus activity was developed. Finally, the solutions to reduce the NPUST greenhouse gas emissions and carbon offset were proposed. This study found that the power consumption on campus buildings accounts for more than 90% of campus GHG emission. After deducting carbon sequestration of the forest, the total emission in 2008 should be deducted 13111.17 tons of CO2e (or 20615.04 degrees of electricity). Thus, an equivilent amount of greenhouse gas needs to be offset in order to neutralize carbon in the campus. The calculated greenhouse gas indexes for NPUST campus are: 0.001160717 ton CO2e/m2 for school areas carbon intensity, 0.044359 ton CO2e/m2 for building carbon intensity, 1.125 ton CO2e/capita for per capita (including faculty and students), and 103.66 kWh/m2/yr for energy use intensity (EUI). Even though the EUI value of NPUST is below the government threshold value, the result of this research suggests that the school develops energy saving plans in order to cooperate the request of MOU (Minister of Education), which demands a negative electric growth each year. Due to the hot weather, there are numerous air conditioners on campus. Considering its high power consuming, an intelligent air conditioner regulation system is suggested. The use of such a system is predicted to reduce the highest percentage of carbon emission. Furthermore, if the electric supply of campus power can be replaced by green energy instead of thermal coal, the target of Carbon Neutral can be achieved. There are two electrical systems applicable to NPUST: combined heat and power and wind energy and photovoltaic system.

There are many studies focus on waste removal and transportation routes planning. However, it has not developed a set of standards. Although using Geographic Information System global positioning system provides a clear understanding of each customer’s location and relative distance, however, the route planning in the implementation process, often encounters many problems. This study uses a case study approach to utilize the global positioning system - Geographic Information System (GIS), the Nearest Neighbor Algorithm, the Path-Scanning Algorithm and Critical Path Method (CPM) for waste collection and transportation process to develop a model with optimal route and lowest costs. The model shows with an example of actual data to prove the feasibility. A comparison is then conducted to compare the costs before and after the implementation. The evidence shows that the total costs are reduced after the modified routs and the capacity of the waste removal cart is substantially improved. The results provide a model for the waste removal industry to implement and therefore to enhance their performance.

Micro-resistance spot welding (MRSW) is a group of micro-joining processes in which micro-joints are formed between two sheets by resistance heating caused by the passage of electric current. These processes are commonly applied to the weld of auto electrical components, and micro-electrical components, and medical packing. Because of its many advantages such as high manufacturing speed and low cost, the MRSW is very suitable for industrial mass-production applications. Surprisingly, there is no satisfactory non-destructive on line monitoring systems to assure the quality of the welding process. This thesis is aimed to develop a MRSW equipment and its associated monitoring system that can predict the welding quality during the welding process. The thesis was preceded by designing an experimental test rig for the MRSW. Then a series of experiments were carried out to find the key parameters that can feature the welding quality. Experiments have shown that the values of the maximum electrode displacement and minimum dynamic resistance of a joint relate its welding quality quite well. Using these two parameters, a neural network based on-line welding quality monitor was developed. The developed quality monitor system has been successfully applied to the welds of 0.1mm stainless steel and 0.1594mm KOVAR sheets, respectively. In the experiments, the achieved success rates in the two-class welding quality classification for the KOVAR sheets was 100% whilst the three-class classification for the stainless steel sheets was 93%. The results show that the proposed MRSW monitor system processes an excellent accuracy in predicting the quality of a welding joint in terms of the tensile strength. The developed monitoring system has the advantage of easy implementation in the field.

Research the National Museum strategy alliance - Taking the national science and technology museum as an example Advisor: Dr. Ming-Lieh Wu Student: Yuan-Chuan Chu Abstract This study discusses the issue of the National Science and Technology museum to impel the strategic alliance -----to understand the situation of the National Science and Technology museum in developing a strategic alliance with results and possible predicaments. It covers various fields of possibilities, concrete orthopraxy, and how to make it a success. The results of this study will provide concrete proposals for the National museum to advance its competitive ability and provide for management achievements. In order to reach the goal of this research, the main technique will be an in- depth interview, literature discussion and document analysis; I interviewed 18 participants, including the members of the National Science and Technology museum, director, the leader of the group and the members of the group. Four people are professors, the screenwriter-director and officers who have a partnership strategy alliance with the National Science and Technology museum. Four people are community leaders like principals, and directors. I arranged the data into transcripts after the interviews, and then analyzed and discussed the content of the transcripts. The result of the analysis and correlative literature resulted in the following conclusions: 1. The situation with the National Science and Technology museum impetus strategic alliance is different with the different allied objects, according to professional work. There are the universities, the business community, the education world, foundations, Community University, government apparatus, the Association of English Culture, media entrepreneurs etc. It gives priority to the demands of both sides in terms of cooperative plans and content. There are special exhibitions, technical education, lifelong education, elementary and junior high schools scientific curriculums, common sales etc. 2. The achievement in regards to the National Science and Technology museum impetus strategic alliance is remarkable. The cooperative alliance objects are increasing and the usable resources are increasing, too. Both sides can benefit mutually and be supplemented mutually in resources. This will enable a deeper study of the organization. It can make good use of social resources to save funds and improve finances. It can participate positively in international cooperation, and develop an international circuit. It can promote qualities in management and with serving the public. It can carry out science education and the goal of lifelong study. 3. There are some predicaments that the National Science and Technology museum faces in developing a strategic alliance. For example, they lack a long-term and concrete corporate plan or project. There are too many limits in regard to utilization of funds in the department, and it lacks elasticity. It should strengthen the cooperative benefit of the impetus strategic alliance. The alliance partners have respective standpoints and they lack a common view. This affects the plan’s impetus. The news of their strategic alliance is not universal. The alternate duty also affects the alliance impetus. 4. There are seven kinds of patterns with the National Science and Technology museum strategic alliance. They are the mixed style, the multi-dimensional, the marketing, the research and development, the level -like, perpendicular, and the special cases. The multi-dimensional pattern is the alliance pattern in this research. 5. When the National Science and Technology museum carries on the strategic alliance task, the concrete method has 4 aspects: (1) To seek the appropriate alliance object actively. (2) The cooperative strategies of the alliance. (3)The planned activities of the alliance. (4)The direction to advance the alliance. 6. There are 3 major parts in regard to the National Science and Technology museum’s successful push of a strategic alliance: (1) To establish the alliance positively. (2) The meticulous thought in advancing the process of the alliance. (3)The cooperative objects of the alliance to work in coordination. 1.

Abstract: As museums get more and more popular, the subject matter of "spatial arrangement of museums and visitor behavior" has a special and pragmatic significance. The difficulty of keeping a balance between the creative and expressive design of the architectural form and the internal functionality and operational convenience has always been on the minds of architects and their design associates. Needless to say it also has been a serious and much studied subject for centuries. The museum is a special type of architecture in its own right. It has a special educational function and unique spatial requirements that come with it. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the generic function of the spatial logic of this particular type of architecture, which has become an important mechanism to prevent visitors from losing their way or from being confused about his or her next step or destination, since the knowledge transmitting function of the very museum may be compromised. We focus our study on museums built in recent times. We rely heavily on the methodology of Space Syntax Analysis, developed by Bill Hillier, for our investigation and analysis in trying to understand the inherent organizing logic of the modern museum's spatial and structural configuration. We also used the software associated with this methodology extensively for a quantitative analysis. We intend to uncover characteristics of the deep structure embedded in the surface layout of a museum. We coupled this analysis with our field study on visitor behavior in order to verify the rationality of the architectural spatial configuration of a museum. We would like to offer our findings to people working in the field of designing museums. Our preliminary findings have shown that the spatial configuration of a museum influences visitor behavior in a fundamental way. Take the visitors’ movement patterns in the selected museum for detailed study as an example, after the structure-configuration analysis, we find that if the primary entrance axis, vertical axis of lifts or stairs, and connecting passages between exhibition halls were not well thought out beforehand, it would hinder visitors’ usage of the museum dramatically. This has been supported by our field study on visitor behavior patterns. We also find out that the high complexity of the spatial configuration of a museum often causes many visitors to have a feeling of being lost inside it. Particularly on the mid-upper floors visitors easily get lost if the junctions of axis exhibit more than six interconnections across the assembling venue nearby the lobby of the main corridor or major vertical axis of lifts or stairs. Based on this finding, the future design of museum should keep the number of junctions of the primary and secondary axis under six. Otherwise a visitor will have a hard time to decide in which direction to go and may even get lost. In order to provide the visitors with a well connected and intelligible spatial system of a museum, it would be necessary to minimize the number of the junctions of axis across the assembling hall venue, as visitors could move around the museum more efficiently and smoothly in a rather natural way.

Since 1992, a new Chinese innovation system has been emerging in terms of university-industry-government relations. In recent years, science parks, incubators, and high-tech development zones have been provided with strong incentives. The commitment of the Chinese government to the further introduction of a market economy has been elaborated with a focus on the knowledge-base. The model of institutional adjustments has been replaced with systemic and evolutionary thinking about niche development and human resource management. Government interventions remain important for interfacing knowledge-based developments with those on the market. For example, new legislation on issues of â intellectual property rightsâ is crucial to the absorption of venture capital into these developments.

The purpose of this study was aimed at identifying the current status of implementation, issues and revisiions of Grade 1-9 Curriculum Science and Technology Guide. A questionnaire was developed and mailed to 254 living technology teachers of public junior high schools. The results of this study were to propose suggestions to educational authorities, junior high schools, and further studies. Finally, 159 copies valid questionnaire were obtained, account for a return rate of 62.6%. Affter analyzing the survey results, the following conclusions were made: (1) It was quite consistent among LT teachers’ perceptions on the importance level of theory and practical teaching. (2) Regarding the concepts and abilities toward technology, LT teachers emphasized them more than what they taught. (3) LT teachers viewed–process skills, thinking abilities, and design and making as three most important skills. (4) LT teachers in the public junior school preferred an independent technology course in the future. (5) Technology has to be combined other subject to become a new field, Home Economics Education would be the most accepted one. (6) Most of LT teachers agreed that two per week for LT would be appropriate. (7) LT teachers preferred to teach two hours per week in either the first or second. (8) The major problem that LT was not viewed as an important subject was because it is not a subject for entrance examination. (9) In revising Science and Living Technology Curriculum Guide in the future, it is important for LT course to be treated an equal importance as other subjects and be coherent with them.
