Framing Analysis and Representations of the Imports of American Meat Containing Ractopamine in Taiwanese Newspapers
本研究探討台灣政治立場不同的兩大平面媒體—《聯合報》與《自由時報》報導瘦肉精肉品安全風險新聞時再現何種論述框架,背後呈現何種社會意義?而政黨輪替前後媒體所再現的框架論述出現何種變化?兩大報呈現的框架論述是否有差異?本研究以框架分析途徑,輔以內容分析法,比較兩大報2007年7月至9月、2012年1月至3月兩個瘦肉精新聞高峰期的新聞報導。發現報導中出現經貿發展、食品安全爭議、責任歸屬,以及政治工具四個主要框架;立場不同的兩大報,隨著政黨輪替,框架論述也出現很大變化。足見媒體框架有其社會脈絡,且是會隨社會變遷而變化的動態過程。透夠本研究能深入思考隱藏在新聞文本中的權力互動,避免被議題操弄,才能有效作好食品安全風險評估。The thesis used framing analysis as the main research method and content analysis as the subsidiary research method to analyze the two different newspapers in Taiwan, including United Daily News and Liberty Times, which are different political statement from each other. The study object is to explore how the two different newspapers represented the food safety and health risk issue with regard to the lifting Ractopamine ban in Taiwan during the periods between September 2007 and January 2012 that Taiwan’s government for allowing imports of American beef containing the residues of Ractopamine.
The framing analysis of the results present four main framing package: the development of economy and trading, the controversy of food safety, Liability /Accountability, and political instruments. The framing in discourse varies between the United Daily News and Liberty Times as a result of their different viewpoints. Moreover, the framing in discourse between two newspapers changes drastically accompanied by party alternation in power. Therefore, the media framing is a dynamic process.目 錄

Navigation of a Biomimetic Autonomous Underwater Vehicle by Using Stereo Fisheye Cameras in a Known Environment
本文描述仿生機器魚利用雙魚眼攝影機、電子羅盤及加速度計在一個已知的水下環境下的定位演算法。首先,本文介紹一種立體魚眼攝影機的校正方法,經由校正之影像,使用離散適應性增強演算法訓練的哈爾特徵分類器分類,其結果可被用在辨識已知水中目標物,再利用雙眼特徵對應來估測機器魚與已知目標物間的相對距離,而此估測的相對距離即可當作觀測資訊,整合來自電子羅盤及加速度計的資料(航向角度及三軸加速度)所形成之運動模型中。此模型結合運動模型及觀測資訊,構成機器魚之延伸型卡曼濾波器定位演算法,以達成機器魚在已知環境中之自我定位的目的。最後,本論文展示實驗數據,以驗證此導航法之可行性,並說明定位精度與攝影機的量化誤差、感測器雜訊及背景複雜度之關係。This work describes a localization algorithm for a fish robot by utilization of stereo fisheye cameras, a compass, and an accelerometer in a known underwater environment. A theory of the stereo fisheye cameras calibration is introduced. Classifiers which use Haar-like features are trained by discrete AdaBoost algorithm and they are used to recognize known landmarks in the underwater environment. Relative distances between the fish robot and the landmarks are then estimated by using stereo features correspondence. Taking the relative distances with respect to the landmarks as observation information, an extended Kalman filter algorithm integrates them with heading angles and 3-axis accelerations from the compass and the accelerometer into the motion model. The extended Kalman filter localization algorithm generates position estimations for BAUV’s self-localization. Finally, the localization algorithm is verified by experimental data, and it can be demonstrated that localization accuracies are limited by the quantization errors of the cameras, the sensors noises, and the background complexity
The political role of the people's liberation army 1949-1973
This thesis is to study the political role of the People's Liberation Army from the approach of structure and function. The framework of the thesis consists of three major parts, first, the influence of Chinese traditional political culture on, and the formation of, the political role of the PL A; second, the influence of domestic political struggles and external military conflicts on the development of the political role of the PLA; and the third, the analysis of the transition of the PLA's political role from the structure and personnel arrangements of the CCPCC Within the above-mentioned three scopes, this thesis make a thorough discussion on the following: (1) The relationship between the structure of the PRC and the formation of the PLA's political role; (2) How has ideology influenced the army's political role; (3) What is Mao's viewpoint and his influence on the development of the army's political role; (4) What is the link between the army and the party, and how has this developed; (6) What accounts for the expansion of the PLA's political functions; (7) What is the influence of political factional struggles on the PLA's political role; (8) Is it political institution or military institution that controls the recruitment of the military elite; (9) What are the disparities between the military elite in handling international conflicts and what are their political considerations; (10) What is the Party's position in the army; (11) How have the Party’s important meetings and personnel arrangements influenced the rise and fall of the PLA's political role
Supporting spatial skill learning with gesture-based embodied interaction
Prior research has revealed that spatial abilities are crucial for STEM achievement and attainment. The connection between the digital and physical worlds provided by embodied interaction has been shown to enhance performance and engagement in educational contexts. Spatial reasoning is a domain that lends itself naturally to embodied, physical interaction; however, there is little understanding of how embodied interaction could be incorporated into educational technology designed to train spatial reasoning skills. We presented a custom-built computer game for training spatial reasoning skills and a gestural interface that implements embodied interaction design in the learning setting. In addition, we proposed a series of gesture set design derived from an iterative design approach that is easy for children to acquire, shows sufficient congruency to specific spatial operations, and enables robust recognition from the system. Several guidelines for gestural interaction in spatial education games were also extracted from the design process based on an empirical study with students at a local afterschool program. We also compared children's behaviors when playing the game with our gestural interface and traditional mouse-based interface and found that children take more time but fewer steps to complete game levels when using gestures.Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'.
