[[alternative]]Far-infrared and Raman characterization of InSb films
No full text[[abstract]]本文以傅立葉轉換遠紅外線反射光譜與拉曼散射光譜分析以MOCVD與LPMOCVD 所成長的InSb薄膜，由紅外線反射光譜中發現：MOCVD所成長各種不同III-V比例的InSb薄膜均在180 cm-1處發現InSb 的TO振動模，我們也在269 cm-1處發現基底GaAs 的TO振動模，InSb與GaAs的TO振動模均隨著溫度的降低而逐漸增大。藉由介電函數理論的fitting後瞭解InSb薄膜的厚度是影響269~300 cm-1處反射光譜不同的主要因素，而樣品的自由載子濃度越高，在反射光譜上得到長波長範圍的反射率較高。我們並且了解InSb薄膜與GaAs基底有約14.5%非常大的晶格不相配(lattice mismatch)，由於InSb薄膜與GaAs基底的介面行為，導致在InSb薄膜與GaAs基底的介面(interface)上有高濃度的晶格錯位(dislocation)，因此在反射光譜上發現在218 cm-1與228 cm-1處有出現微小的振動模，分別與InAs及GaSb的TO振動模相對應，並且也有隨著溫度的降低而逐漸增大的現象。我們並且從Kramers-Kroning關係來分析實驗數據，發現分析結果與介電函數理論的fitting結果十分接近。我們由拉曼散射光譜得到ωTO、ωLO與ω2LO振動模，藉由ω2LO振動模的發現及ωTO/ωLO的比值來了解MOCVD樣品成長的Ⅲ-Ⅴ族比例與薄膜樣品的結晶本質(crystalline perfection)。在拉曼散射光譜中所有樣品LO振動模之半高寬(full width at half maximum)於300K時均小於6 cm-1，10K時均小於3 cm-1，說明以MOCVD方法可以在GaAs基底上成功的成長品質良好的InSb薄膜。且由拉曼散射光譜所得到的InSb薄膜之TO振動模與傅立葉轉換紅外線反射光譜測得的InSb薄膜之TO振動模對應關係良好。

Abstract
This study aimed to understand the self-efficacy, parental expectancies, classroom structure perceptions and academic achievement of junior high school students; to explore the differences among self-efficacy, parental expectancies, classroom structure perceptions and academic achievement of junior high school students on different backgrounds; to analyze the correlation among self-efficacy, parental expectancies, classroom structure perceptions and academic achievement of junior high school students; and to explore the prediction to the academic achievement of junior high school students in their gender, self-efficacy, parental expectancies, classroom structure perceptions.
Scales including three instruments: Self-Efficacy Scale, Parental Expectancies Scale, and Classroom Structure Perceptions Scale were administered to a sample of 809 junior high school students from Taichung country. The statistical methods used to analyze the data were descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s product-moment correlation, and multiple regression.
The conclusions of major were as follows:
1. Junior high school students had a fair level of self-efficacy, parental expectancies, and classroom structure perceptions
2. Parental expectancies of junior high school students were mainly from household responsibilities, academic achievement and general success. Peer activities and extra-curricular activities ranked second.
3. The differences of students’ self-efficacy, parental expectancies were
not significant, classroom structure perceptions and academic achievement between groups were significant.
4. The differences of academic achievement between groups are significant.
5. There were low positive correlations among parental expectancies, self-efficacy and academic achievement.
6. There were high positive correlations among classroom structure perceptions, parental expectancies, and academic achievement.
7. The junior high school students’ gender, self-efficacy, parental expectancies, classroom structure perceptions could significantly predict their academic achievement.
Based on these results, this study offers related suggestions to parents of students, teachers and administrative organizations, and future study.

Analysis of maturation-specific genes in soybean seeds: Gene structure, desiccation induction and abscisic acid responsiveness
No full textThis study describes two maturation (Mat) genes which share some structural similarities with a special group of genes, whose expression can be induced by water stress and also by exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) application. Previous studies have identified a 31-kDa maturation polypeptide (MAT) which accumulates during normal and precocious maturation of soybean (Glycine max L. Merr) seeds, and disappears rapidly during germination. The corresponding mRNA can also be induced in germinating seeds with ABA treatment, but not in normally developing seeds. By screening a 65 day-after-flower (DAF) seed cDNA library with a partial cDNA clone corresponding to the 31 kDa MAT protein, we were able to isolate and characterize two closely-related gene sequences represented by the pMat1 and pMat9 clones. Primer extension studies indicated that these two clones were full length cDNA clones. In the soybean genome, we identified at least two copies of the Mat1 genes and one Mat1-related gene, probably the Mat9 gene, in both the Williams'82 and T157 varieties. The nucleotide sequence comparison of cDNA and genomic clones showed these Mat genes do not contain any introns, which was confirmed by polymerase-chain-reaction (PCR) analysis of soybean seed mRNA and genomic DNA. The pMat 1 and pMat9 clones not only differ in size (51 nucleotides less in the coding region of pMat9 than in the coding region of pMat1), but the corresponding genes also differ in their expression patterns during normal and precocious maturation stages, and also by differential response to exogenous abscisic acid during germination. The protein sequence analysis showed that MAT proteins contain a highly conserved C-terminal region, which is also present in rice RAB (ABA-responsive) proteins and also in the cotton LEA and barley dehydrin proteins. The N-termini of MAT proteins also contains a short 7-amino acid stretch which might be related to the tissue-specificity expression or activity of these proteins. Possible roles of MAT proteins in seed maturation processes are discussed.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T12:28:46Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 2

One preschool teacher's approach to play intervention: An interpretive study based on Vygotsky's concept of activity
No full textThis study explores how the social interactions in a play intervention are socially constructed by the teacher and the children within the context of classroom organization and structure. Further, it explores how the organization and structure of the classroom are affected by the demands placed on the teacher by the preschool in which she works, by her beliefs about child development, and by the larger contemporary discourse on early childhood education.This study is based upon Vygotsky's concept of activity. Vygotsky's concept of activity asserts that the meaning of an action lies in the actor's intentions, that is, action is the means by which an actor achieves her intentions. Thus intention states must be interpreted within the social context within which the actions are embedded."Using ethnographic methods, I interpret the intentions of teacher and children in a play intervention episode by combining ""close analysis of fine details of behavior and meanings in (the) social interaction with analysis of the wider social context--the field of broader social influence--within which the face-to-face interaction takes place"" (Erickson, 1986, p.120)."The teacher's play intervention strategies were constituted by her practical-knowledge-in-use (Clandinin, 1986). Her practical-knowledge-in-use reflects her beliefs about early childhood education and the demands placed on her as a teacher, e.g., parents' expectations, school philosophy.The usefulness of Vygotsky's concept of activity to understand classroom process is discussed. First, Vygotsky's concept of activity provides a way to study teachers' intentions in their interactions with children. Teaching becomes, then, not a series of behaviors but of meaningful actions by which the teacher struggles to meet the many demands placed on her as a professional. Second, Vygotsky's concept of activity provides a most useful framework for studying face-to-face interactions within a classroom. Revealed are the lived experiences of children and teachers as they make sense out of the constraints placed upon them as they interact in classroom.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T14:15:55Z (GMT).

[[alternative]]The Practice and its Deterrent Factors of Occupational Health Nursing
No full text[[abstract]]practices of occupational health nurses and their deterrent factors. A questionnaire was mailed to all occupational health nurses in industrial manufacturing plants with more than 300 employees in Taiwan. The response rate was 50.51%. For the study, the duties of occupational health nurses were classified into five categories: medical service delivering, emergency planing, environmental health hazards identification, medical examination and case management, and health education. Among all of the duties, 'medical service delivering' was practiced best, and 'health education' was the worst. For the total working time, 29.8% was spent on 'medical service delivering', 23.39% on 'medical examination and case management', and 26.74% on 'other fairs'. The result different task had different deterrent factors was also showed. However, increasing some specific knowledge and skills, the sense of duty, and the support from the authorties were suggested for better occupational health nursing practice.
