First person – Mei-Fang Lin
No full textFirst Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Mei-Fang Lin is first author on ‘Transcriptomic analyses highlight the likely metabolic consequences of colonization of a cnidarian host by native or non-native Symbiodinium species’, published in BiO. Mei-Fang conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in David John Miller's lab at James Cook University, Australia. She is now a postdoc in the lab of Hiroshi Watanabe at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, Japan, investigating cnidarian genomics and evolution
Yi-Fang Lin Piano Recital Program Notes
No full textThis report is Yi-Fang Lin Piano Recital Program Notes on April., 23, 2019. The two pieces on the program include Piano Sonata in C minor, K.457 by W.A. Mozart, and Piano Concerto No.1 in F-Sharp minor, Op.1 by S. Rachmaninoff. The note will introduce the life of two composers, the compositional background of individual work, and the analysis of the structure, including tonal design and thematic material in each work
Does Downloading PowerPoint Slides Before the Lecture Lead to Better Student Achievement?: Reply
Full text linkThis reply responds to a comment by Cannon (2011) that opens the debate on consistency of the effect of downloading PowerPoint slides before lectures on students’ exam performance. Cannon (2011) points out potential endogeneity problems in Chen and Lin (2008) and attempts to explore the unconditional mean effect of downloading PowerPoint slides for the full sample. In this reply, we firstly argue that the estimates in our original article are consistent since the effect of interest is the “conditional†treatment effect but not the unconditional mean effect. We provide explanations for our rationale of estimating the “conditional†treatment effect. Secondly, we propose a modified downloading variable to replicate Cannon’s analysis. Our results suggest that downloading PowerPoint slides before the exam does not produce a significant effect on absent students’ exam performance which is different from the results in Cannon (2011). Our analysis does support Cannon’s argument that students fixed effects are different across different attendance status.
DC/AC/DC chopping converter
No full textThe purpose of this Final Year report is to provide a clearer overview to the student’s FYP Professor, Assoc Prof Luo Fang Lin of the knowledge and experiences the student has accumulated and how he has applied the theory he has learnt from his undergraduate course to meet the objective of the project. In this project, the student is required to design and build a DC-AC-DC chopping converter with a feedback controller to ensure that a constant output voltage of 33VDC despite fluctuations of input voltage (9.3VDC to 11.5VDC).Bachelor of Engineerin
Design of hybrid split-capacitors and split-inductors applied in positive output super-lift luo-converters
No full textThe DC/DC conversion technology has been developed very fast over the decades, and many new types of DC/DC converters are designed. As a very important part of the DC/DC conversion technology, voltage-lift (VL) technology has been widely used in design of DC/DC converters, and the theory is maturely built. While the output voltage of this kind of converters only increases in arithmetic progression when more stages are added. By using super-lift (SL) technique, the output voltage will increase in geometric progression. In this paper, a novel approach is introduced – super-lift Luo-converters armed with split-capacitors and split-inductors. By replacing the original capacitors and inductors with these split elements the output voltage will be lifted to another higher level. This is a very important contribution to the conversion technology by Professor Luo Fang Lin. In this report, formulas and simulation results are presented and analyzed.Bachelor of Engineerin
