Taiwan’s democratic progressive party and its mainland china policy
Taiwan has successfully changed its political system from dictatorship into a democracy since the end of 1980s. Some people do not like 'Taiwan's democracy' -some candidates get elected by bribery in election, parliamentary fighting., but the majority of the Taiwanese people really enjoy their freedom in their homeland. They do know, at least, they have the right to oppose the government, no one would be shot by the national military force in a demonstration. The political systems are totally different between Taiwan and Mainland China, one is democracy, another is communism. Even the majority of the Taiwanese people are Chinese in ethnic origin, but their life experience are different over the past 50 years, it is difficult for any side to persuade the other side which one is better. Some Chinese Taiwanese people believe that they can have a better life, if their homeland—Taiwan can be really independent in the international community. Taiwan’s political opposition built Taiwan's first opposition party— Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) 13 years ago, and with the dream of establishing a new independent country on Taiwan. The establishment of the DPP is the result of the political opposition movement in Taiwan. Most of the members of the DPP have a strong Taiwanese identity, which is very different from the ruling KMT in Taiwan and the ruling CCP in China. The DPP gains more influence in Taiwan, the uncertainty across the Taiwan Straits increase at the same time. The DPP waited and saw between being the ruling party and establishing an independent country on Taiwan, finally it chose to complete the political aim of replacing the position of the KMT at present. The purpose of the study is to assess the DPP's policy-making in its Mainland China policy. I try to give a full picture of the policy-making process in the party. The most important factor in the formulation of the mainland China policy is the relationship between the factions within the DPP, therefore, I adopt the historical and document review approach on doing this study, and describe how the interaction between the factions worked and how they made the decisions on the policies? I found that the DPP will insist on its 'one Taiwan, one China' policy before becoming the ruling party in Taiwan. However, the DPP's insistence on the 'one China, one Taiwan' policy could bring conflicts across the Taiwan Straits and obstruct the possibility of replacing the ruling KMT's position. Hence the DPP tried to explain again the party's Taiwan independence platform, and to 'purify' the party’s ideology in order to achieve its present political aim. Because the cross-Straits relationship is still developing, the DPP's mainland policy would be affected by various factors across the Taiwan Straits. There is no final text of the DPP's mainland China policy at present. Therefore, I predict the future development of its China policy could tend in two ways. Firstly, if the cross-Straits exchanges increase, and Beijing reduces its hostility, the DPP's stand of 'one Taiwan, one China' will become more flexible, and it would keep on developing a more perfect China policy. Secondly, if the cross-Straits exchanges decrease, and Beijing increases the force of threatening to Taipei, the DPP's stand of 'one Taiwan, one China' policy will be more radical, even though it would not turn its back on the business affairs. At the end of this work, I suggest the DPP rethink its insistence on a Taiwanese independence position, this could not break Taiwan's isolation in international community, but could endanger Taiwan's security. As the factional fight has reduced the force of the DPP, to condense the powers of the party would be an important issue for the DPP
Extraction of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) with magnetic albuminoid-imprinted poly(ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol) nanoparticles from human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cellular culture medium
Selective adsorption by magnetic nanoparticles is an effective method for obtaining valuable molecules from biological fluids. The synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymeric composite particles may be utilized routinely to remove a target from a complex mixture (e.g. biological fluids). Nowadays alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is used as an important biomarker in the screening of human hepatocellular carcinoma. The imprinting of albumin (ALB) on poly(ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol) based nanoparticles may be adopted for the selective adsorption of AFP, because the two molecules have similar amino acid sequences. In this work, we studied the adsorption of ALB and AFP onto magnetic albuminoid-imprinted poly(ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol) nanoparticles (i.e. ALB or AFP MMIPs). The binding capacity of the MMIPs increases threefold with imprinting protein concentration (from 0.1 to 1.0 mg mL−1). MMIPs imprinted with 0.5 mg mL−1 of albumin or AFP adsorbed high levels of alpha-fetoprotein (60 ± 6 and 185 ± 17 μg g−1 respectively) from a HepG2 culturing medium diluted by 50×
Comparative Geochemistry of 234Th, 210Pb, and 210Po n the Hung-Tsai Trough
本論文利用海研一號784航次(2006年3月6日至8日)在台灣西南海域之紅柴海溝三個測站採集樣本,進行溶解相及顆粒相234Th、210Pb及210Po的分析,佐以營養鹽、POC、以及其他水文化學參數的垂直剖面,來了解這三種天然放射性核種的生地化作用有何異同,並與海研一號742航次(2004年12月24日至26日)及海研一號744航次(2005年3月3日至6日)的數據做比較。 OR1-784航次三個測站溶解相、顆粒相之234Th、210Pb、及210Po隨深度垂直變化趨勢一致,且測站之間差異不大。由OR1-784、OR1-742、OR1-744三個航次之234Th/238U與210Po/210Pb母子核種分布結果顯示,母子核種間活度不平衡現象的季節變化不明顯,唯210Pb/226Ra比值可看出春季大於1,而冬季則小於1。 整個紅柴海溝水體,234Th相對於母核種238U為缺乏的狀態,210Pb相對於母核種226Ra則顯現超量的現象。在紅柴海溝表層海水中,210Po相對於210Pb則呈現缺乏的現象,而中層海水210Po則為超量的情形。由234Th、210Pb、及210Po 的分佈係數比較,可看出在紅柴海溝內,此三核種對顆粒體的親和性順序為210Po>234Th≒210Pb。 本論文利用盒子模式並納入水平傳輸的影響所估算之紅柴海溝水體中溶解相及顆粒相234Th、210Po滯留時間分別為8天及5天,15天及4天,總相210Pb滯留時間則為15天。 利用234Th通量作為顆粒態有機碳示蹤劑,估算得到紅柴海溝光透層(80 m)以上顆粒態有機碳輸出通量為40 mmolC/m2/d,若以210Po通量及顆粒體中210Po和有機碳比值估算得到顆粒態有機碳輸出通量則為64 mmolC/m2/d,兩結果相差不大。Large-volume seawater samples were collected from three locations during 6~8 March 2006 (OR1-784) in the Hung-Tsai Trough off Southwestern Taiwan for the determinations of dissolved and particulate 234Th,210Pb, and 210Po. Along with profiles of nutrients, particulate organic carbon, and other hydrographic parameters, the geochemical behaviors of the three radionulides were compared. Detailed profiles of dissolved and particulate 234Th,210Pb, and 210Po activities showed no significant difference among the three sampling stations. By comparing the distributions of 234Th/238U and 210Po/210Pb ratios at the same station obtained from three cruises (OR1-784, OR1-742, and OR1-744), no seasonal variability for the disequilibria was found. However, the 210Pb/226Ra ratio showed an excess in the spring and deficient in the winter. In the entire water column of the Hung-Tsai Trough, 234Th is deficient relative to 238U, and 210Pb is excessive relative to 226Ra. 210Po is deficient in the surface layer but is excessive in the intermediate layer relative to 210Pb. The distribution coefficients of 234Th,210Pb, and 210Po show the order of the affinity toward particulate matter is 210Po > 234Th ~ 210Pb in the Hung-Tsai Trough. This study uses box model incorporating the horizontal advection to estimate the residence times of the three radionulides. The residence times of dissolved and particulate are 8 and 5 days, 15 and 4 days, and total 15 days, respectively, for 234Th, 210Po, and 210Pb in the water column of the Hung-Tsai Trough. By using 234Th and 210Po as proxies of particulate organic carbon to estimate the export flux from the upper 80 m in the Hung-Tsia Trough, the export flux are 40 mmolC/m2/d and 64 mmolC/m2/d, respectively. The results show that the two approaches are similar.口試委員會審定書……………………………………………… I謝……………………………………………………………… II文摘要………………………………………………………… III文摘要………………………………………………………… V錄……………………………………………………………… VII目錄…………………………………………………………… IX目錄…………………………………………………………… XI一章 緒論…………………………………………………….. 1 1.1 234Th, 210Pb, 210Po之特性........................................... 1 1.2研究區域…………………………………………… 3 1.3 研究目的................................................................... 4二章 分析方法.......................................................................... 7 2.1 採樣........................................................................... 7 2.2 樣品分析................................................................... 8 2.2.1 210Po分析步驟............................................... 8 2.2.1-1 溶解相分析………………………… 8 2.2.1-2 顆粒相分析........................................ 9 2.2.2 210Pb分析步驟………………………………. 9 2.2.3 234Th分析步驟.................................................. 9 2.2.3-1 溶解相分析………………………….. 9 2.2.3-2 顆粒相分析………………………….. 10 2.2.4 POC分析步驟………………………………... 10三章 結果……….......................................................................... 11 3.1 水文特性…………………………………………….. 11 3.2 水化學與顆粒相關參數…………………………….. 12 3.3 234Th, 210Pb, 210Po活度垂直分佈…………………. 14四章 討論………………………………………………………. 32 4.1母子核種間的不平衡現象............................................ 32.2分布係數(Kd)及分化係數(F)輸出通量..................... 35.3 234Th, 210Pb, 210Po清除、移除速率及滯留時間....... 36 4.4 顆粒態有機碳輸出通量……………………………... 41五章 結論...................................................................................... 51考文獻…………………………………………………………… 5
