    No full text
    Cheng Ching-wen has a wide variety of interests in writing, including novel, short story, fairy tale, literature, political review, miscellaneous writing and translation of Western literary works. Cheng has been engaged in writing for fifty years and accomplished a tremendous amount of quality work. This thesis would focus on three of Cheng\ue2s novels. Structure of the thesis would be the first part which has been finalized after several modifications. Chapter One Explain the reason why to choose Cheng\ue2s novels as the topic of this thesis. Chapter Two Study the writer\ue2s life and creation background. Analyze how his special growing background, learning process, friends and reading preference impact on his writing. Also, discuss the relationship between his inspirations and his works from the three geographic environments where he grew up. Chapter Three Discuss the origin of Cheng\ue2s creation ideas. Analyze Cheng\ue2s creation style and the formation of his tragic philosophy of life from the perspectives of Western literary works and the philosophy of life. Chapter Four Explore how Cheng creates the image of a novel character through artistic portrayal of characters and analyze Cheng\ue2s language style from three perspectives. Chapter Five Discuss Cheng\ue2s novels from four major topics: suffering common people, the greatness of mother\ue2s love, life of the peasantry in Taiwan and the forbidden political issues. Based on these topics, explore the ideas that Cheng embodies in these three novels. Chapter Six Conclusion: Summarize Cheng\ue2s creations and writing style. Keywords: Cheng Ching-wen, Novel, Topic, Tragedy,A Study on Cheng Ching-wen\ue2s Nove

    Effects of feed tray locations to the design of reactive distillation and its implication to control

    No full text
    The effects of feed locations to the design of reactive distillation are explored. In this work, ideal reactive distillation systems are usedto illustrate the advantage of feedtrays optimization in design andcontrol. Process parameters such as relative volatilities between reactants, relative volatilities between products, column pressure, activation energies, andpre-e xponential factors are variedto seek possible generalization. For all systems studied, the percentage of energy saving ranges from 6% to 47%, and this is obtained by simply rearranging the feed locations. Finally, the idea of optimal feed trays is extended to the operation/control of reactive distillation systems. First, steadystate analysis is carriedout to findthe optimal feedtrays as measurable loadv ariable varies. Then, a control structure is proposedto rearrange the feeds as the disturbance comes into the system. The results indicate that, again, substantial energy can be saved by feed rearrangement via the coordinated control structure

    Learning Experiences of Nursing Students from Classroom Storytelling by Parents of Children with Disabilities

    Purpose The aim of this paper was to explore the learning experiences of post-registration nursing students who listened to parents' classroom storytelling about their children with disabilities. Background The nursing education literature provides little information about using movies, books, or case studies as teaching tools. Nurse educators should use a variety of teaching methods to enhance students' learning and clinical competencies. Method For this qualitative study, focus group interviews were used and guided by a set of semi-structured questions. Data were collected in 2009 from nursing students at a university in a metropolitan area of central Taiwan. Of 156 students enrolled in three classes on paediatric nursing, 34 volunteered to share their learning experiences from the storytelling lesson. Results Analysis of the focus group interview content revealed three main themes: facing again the important issues (psychological, caring, and cultural) in nursing care, enhancing learning interest and comprehensive learning, and cherishing their lives. Conclusions The teaching strategy of parents telling their stories in the classroom helped students to reflect on their nursing work experience from the parents' perspective. Such reflection not only enhanced students' professional capabilities and ensured that knowledge was put into clinical practice, but also added meaning to their lives by helping them to cherish their lives.No Full Tex
