Writing a Wikipedia Article on Cultural Competence in Health Care
No full textThis article describes how librarians created a Wikipedia article on cultural competence in health care to support the medical school’s curriculum. Wikipedia, often considered not as reliable as scholarly articles, continues to be popular. Rutgers librarians conducted a Wikipedia project to improve its content to benefit students. The importance of cultural competency in health care is widely recognized due to increasingly diverse patient populations. Medical schools integrate cultural competency in curricula to train students to be culturally competent. Therefore, this topic was chosen for the Wikipedia Project. It is hoped that health sciences librarians and educators will benefit from their experience

Siu-Hung YuThis book examines the intricate relationship among trade and investment policies, as well as environmental regulations, especially for developing economies. Trade liberalization via tariff reduction and market reforms has contributed significantly to the growth of the world economy. Nonetheless, one may wonder if free trade can continue to be a key factor sustaining economic growth and improving environmental quality. Under free trade, capital-abundant developed countries that produce capital intensive goods tend to emit more pollutants. This is the thrust of the so-called factor-endowment hypothesis of pollution. However, the costs of abating pollution are mounting in environmentally conscious nations due to the adoption of tougher environmental standards. The increased production costs have prompted firms in the developed nations to relocate to developing countries (the pollution haven hypothesis). Households in developing economies are mainly concerned with meeting basic needs and thus attach greater importance to issues about jobs and income. This book contributes toward understanding these issues. The impacts of pollution taxes and environmental standards on employment and social welfare are examined, the design and coordination of optimal trade, investment and environmental policies are analyzed, and their policy implications, such as aid-nature swap and backward incidence of pollution control, are provided. Finally, optimal trade and pollution policies are investigated and compared under certain and uncertain situation

Analysis of Weak and Complex Impact-Echo Signal
No full text本研究主旨在於利用一個有效的訊號處理方法，以檢測隱藏於敲擊回音訊號中的微弱訊號，或複雜的幾何情況造成回傳的應力波互相干擾，以期提升敲擊回音法的極限，有效提升工程品質。
黃鍔院士所提出的訊號處理方法是利用經驗模態分解法將原訊號內的各本質模態函數析出，林佳慶[14]率先利用此法將敲擊回音訊號進行經驗模態分解，再對本質模態函數進行快速傅立葉轉換，結果顯示，此法能得到更清楚且具物理意義的頻譜。
本研究先以有限元素軟體模擬四種狀況的孔洞，分別為1. 孔洞直徑4cm，8cm，12cm，保護層深度皆為6cm。2. 孔洞直徑6cm，保護層深度分別為12cm、18cm、24cm。3. 兩孔洞間距小。4. 孔洞上方有鋼筋干擾。最後進行模型試驗。經由數值算例和模型試驗分析比較，此法確實有效的提取出隱藏於敲擊回音內微弱及複雜的訊號，或是互相干擾的應力波。而且由回音訊號的傅立葉頻譜發現，孔洞的回音訊號大都具有數個大小相似的尖峰群。
配合短時傅利葉轉換，可觀察各本質模態函數的時頻分布，即可判斷出各本質模態函數所代表的物理意義。其中表面波能量消散最快；內部缺陷回音訊號能量消散次之；模態振動能量最大，消散最慢
