The Research of Lee,Shi-chi 's Artistic Creations
No full text[[abstract]]This thesis starts from interviewing Lee, Shi-Chi, to understand his passed history, entering the research of diversification and new symbol elements, and ends by Lee, Shi-Chi’s art achievements. From the result of research, it shows two important starting points in Lee, Shi-Chi, who was called as “Bird of Variation in Art”, of variation style in modern painting arts, one the potential influence of people factor from folk and tradition, and the other obvious attraction from western modern arts.
From the initial “The Lost Ah-Fang Palace”, “The Lonely Chin- Huai River”, passes through “The Worship of the Moon” series, “Series of Great Calligraphy”, “Post-Orientation”, “Ten Aspects of My Artistic Life” and the change of lacquer series “Orientation Sprouting form the Root”, Lee,Shi-Chi always searched for a race orientation attributed to himself and the art originality transcending tradition between tradition and modern. Focusing on the practical art language ( form and media ) from folk and tradition more and more, and strongly experiencing abstractive modern spirit more and more move Lee Shi-Chi’s modernized arts up to a new peak.
.
The main structure in this thesis that is divided into five sections and the summary is as follows:
First Chapter﹕Introduction
Narrate the motivation, purposes, contents, approaches and substantive expiain of the researcher's study.
Second chapter﹕Lee, Shi-Chi’s biography research
introduces the Lee, Shi-Chi’s biography time background,, in order to discuss its different time the artistic creation, comes from the the potential influence of people factor from folk and tradition, and the other obvious attraction from western modern arts.
Third chapter﹕diversification new mark element
From the artistic evolution, understood the painter various issue of art creation style change the essential factor and diversify artistic motion of manifestation form style.
Fourth chapter﹕ discusses Lee, Shi-Chi’s artistic orbit
Penetrates Lee, Shi-Chi’s from the tradition “Orientation” “Post-Orientation” the change ﹔ manages the decorated corridor the policy and the result to wins in the fine arts big prize and in the artistic market localization, discusses Lee, Shi-Chi’s artistic orbit.
Fifth chapter﹕conclusion
Pondered Taiwan present age art the trend, then the determination future creation direction, will avoid into the trends in the world follower.

Multiple Source Cooperation: From Code Division Multiplexing To Variable-Rate Network Coding
No full textMultiple-source cooperation techniques, including conventional code-division multiplexing (CDM) and classic network coding (CNC), are investigated. We adopt a soft sum - product decoding algorithm for the CNC technique to efficiently process a large number of information streams and propose a flexible variable-rate network coding (VNC) technique, which is capable of attaining a near-optimum performance. Quantitatively, the proposed VNC method is capable of operating within 1 dB from the outage capacity of the quasi-static Rayleigh fading channel. The iterative decoding convergence of the multiple-source computation methods is analyzed with the aid of extrinsic information transfer charts
Molecular Diversity of Dscam and Self-Recognition
No full textCo-author Lei Shi is a student in the Neuroscience program in the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSBS) at UMass Medical School.Cell recognition requires interactions through molecules located on cell surface. The insect homolog of Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule (Dscam) manifests huge molecular diversity in its extracellular domain. High-affinity Dscam-Dscam interactions only occur between isoforms that carry identical extracellular domains. Homophilic Dscam signaling can, thus, vary in strength depending on the compositions of Dscams present on the opposing cell surfaces. Dscam abundantly exists in the developing nervous system and governs arborization and proper elaboration of neurites. Notably, individual neurons may stochastically and dynamically express a small subset of Dscam isoforms such that any given neurite can be endowed with a unique repertoire of Dscams. This allows individual neurites to recognize their sister branches. Self-recognition leads to self-repulsion, ensuring divergent migration of sister processes. By contrast, weak homophilic Dscam interactions may promote fasciculation of neurites that express analogous, but not identical, Dscams. Differential Dscam binding may provide graded cell recognition that in turn governs complex neuronal morphogenesis.Neuroscienc

Of shot and duration of the match between Shi Yuqi and Lee Chong Wei in All England
2017. Five match starts from quarter final to final match were selected to be observed.
The indicator include for this analysis were the shot, unforced error, number of shot
and duration of the match. Mann Whitney test used to see the significant of this study.
For shot, first type of shot which is forehand Lee Chong Wei (Mean ± SD),
(30.33±8.083) and Shi Yuqi forehand (17.67±11.7l9). Next, for backhand shot, based
on the analysis for Lee Chong Wei (Mean± SD), (16.33±11.150) and Shi Yuqi (Mean
± SD), (14.33±6.658). For Lee Chong Wei drop is (Mean ± SD), (31.00±7.211) and
Shi Yuqi drop (Mean ± SD), (52.67±34.962). Last for number of shot is jumping
smash. Lee Chong Wei (Mean ± SD), (25.00±3.606) and Shi Yuqi (Mean ± SD),
(24.33±.577). The second indicator is unforced error. Based on the results Lee Chong
Wei out is (Mean ± SD), (6.33± 3.055) and Shi Yuqi out (9.67± 2.082). Next is Lee
Chong Wei long (Mean ± SD), (.OO±.OOO) and Shi Yuqi long (Mean ± SD), (.OO±.OOO).
For short and wrong court Lee Chong Wei and Shi Yuqi also same like long which is
long (Mean ± SD), (.OO±.OOO). Lastly for unforced error is net. Lee Chong Wei is
(Mean ± SD), (7.33±5.508) and Shi Yuqi (Mean ± SD), (8.67±4.04l). Next indicator
is number of shot, Lee Chong Wei (Mean ± SD), (259.33±34.078) and Shi Yuqi (Mean
± SD), (2l5.67±75.745). Lastly indicator is duration of the match, Lee Chong Wei

Date Presented 4/1/2017
This study developed a Chinese version of the Theory of Mind Inventory (ToMI–C) for assessing theory of mind (ToM) performance in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in actual social contexts. The ToMI–C will facilitate the evaluation of the ToM of Taiwanese children with ASD accurately.
