Shih Ching Wang and Wen-Lin Wang, Class of 1921
No full textThis photograph shows Shih Ching Wang and Wen-Lin Wang, class of 1921 of the International YMCA College, now Springfield College. Shih Ching Wang (back) and Wen-Lin Wang (front) are in a dormitory room, sitting in a bed and in a chair respectively, with Shih Ching holding a flute and Wen-Lin holding a sanxian. It seems that they are rehearsing a piece of music.A caption in the back states: "Mar 16 1920"

Evaluation of Heat Tolerance Germplasm in Wheat
No full text小麥屬溫帶作物，在臺灣僅適於冬季裡作種植，隨著全球暖化及全球極端天氣影響，高溫將是臺灣種植小麥所面臨的挑戰之一，因此小麥耐熱新品系選育則顯重要。本耐熱種原評估試驗以自國際玉米小麥改良中心 (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center, CIMMYT) 引進之167個耐熱品系為材料，提早於10月播種，進行耐熱種原評估試驗，同時調查病害感染狀況，試驗結果顯示，共有73個品系產量高於臺中選2號，成熟期則以130~135天最多，蛋白質含量主要分布介於12.5%~13.5%，多屬中筋品種。依據各品系之性狀表現，已自167個品系中選拔20個品系，作為後續產量及區域試驗之參試材料，並進一步確認其耐熱性表現。
Wheat is a temperate-zone crop; thus, the only appropriate season for planting wheat in Taiwan is winter. With global warming and the influences of extreme climate changes, high temperatures have posed a challenge for wheat agriculture in Taiwan. Therefore, novel heat-tolerant wheat strains must be developed. The targets of this genetic evaluation experiment for wheat heat tolerance were 167 heat-tolerant strains that were imported from the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center. The planting time was moved to October to conduct the genetic heat-tolerance experiment. In addition, disease infection conditions were investigated. According to the experimental results, the yields of 73 strains were higher than that of wheat Taichung Sel. No. 2 and the most common maturation period was 130–135 d. The primary protein content ranged between 12.5% and 13.5%. Most wheat varieties contained medium gluten. Based on their gene expressions, 20 of the 167 strains were selected as samples for conducting additional regional yield experiments. Subsequent experiments will be conducted to verify the heat-tolerance performances of these wheat strains
An Economy-wide Analysis of Impacts of WTO Tiered Formula for Tariff Reduction on Taiwan
Full text linkIn this study we use Taiwan as a case study to provide an economy-wide analysis of impacts on Taiwan of WTO tariff reduction schemes with different combinations of thresholds and reduction rates. The model we utilized in this study is Taiwan General Equilibrium Model with a WTO module (TAIGEM-WTO, hereafter) that is a multi-sectoral computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of the Taiwan's economy derived from Australian ORANI model (Dixon, Parmenter, Sutton and Vincent, 1982). Simulation results show that results are more sensitive to the scheme of tariff-reduction (i.e., Category 1, 2, and 3) than the tiered levels (i.e., A, B, C, and D) and as a strategy we should pay more attention to the arguments related to the amounts of tariff-reduction. Moreover, changes in nominal average tariff rates are more sensitive and shocks to the economy are more severe when we change the tariff reduction categories rather than the tiered levels. This conclusion also applies to the tiered reduction case when only sensitive products are considered. Finally, simulations with sector's bound rate calculated using arithmetic means have bigger effects than those using import values as weights. Therefore, sector's bound rate using import values as weights would be preferred.Computable General Equilibrium (CGE), Tiered Formula, WTO, International Relations/Trade,
