      Children of schizophrenic patients have and increased risk of having mental problems. It is extremely difficult to perceive the distinguishing features that may exist in thesr children before they become manifestly ill. Early identification of these distingyishing features might provide a reference for identifying vulnerability and early intervention to subsequent disorder. This study was carried out to assess the general development of 26 children of schizophrenic patients compared to that of 22 children of normal parents. Data were collected through physical and psychological assessments, semi-structured interviews, and questionnaires. Results showed no group difference in children's height, weight, motor coordination, cognitive ability, or level of depression. However, children of schizophrenic patients exhibited sig-nificantly more anxious behavior. #0395

    Karl M. Lorenz, Professor of Education, describes his experience as the first creator of a SelectedWorks site at SHU at the time that this important service was initiated. He is pleased that all of his scholarly work is now available online and accessible to others. The Readership Reports and maps and the information contained on the Author Dashboard confirm that articles and papers I authored are being regularly accessed not only in Portuguese and Spanish-speaking countries, but also in the U.S. and in many countries the world over. The online dissemination of my work has also resulted in email inquiries, invitations to speak at educational conferences and to participate on editorial boards of several journals

    A stage-classified demographic method was performed to investigate the effects of increased waterborne zinc (Zn) concentrations on the population dynamics of abalone Haliotis diversicolor supertexta. We reanalyzed the results of a 7-day acute and a 28-day chronic toxicity bioassays to examine the survival and growth performances when exposing abalone to different levels of zinc stresses. An energy-based biological approach was adopted to model the effects of zinc on fecundity. These data provided stage-specific schedules of vital rates that were used to parameterize a projection matrix model for abalone. Simulations were carried out to produce temporal population abundance changes under seven exposure scenarios including a control group and six treated cohorts ranged from 0.03 to 1 mg l1 Zn. Model manipulations indicated that a reduction of individual growth rate was observed at an exposed Zn concentration greater than 0.12 mg l1, whereas the significant influence of survivorship was occurred until the Zn concentration reached 0.25 mg l1. For all treatments, Zn induced a slight decrease in fecundity. The asymptotic population growth rate decreased from k=1.00 for the control group to k=0.9968 for abalone population exposed to 1 mg l1 Zn, indicating a potential risk of population intrinsic growth rates for abalone exposed to higher levels of waterborne Zn. These findings provide a pivotal effort for setting of the ambient water quality criterion for protecting the aquacultural species

    發展乾淨且可再生能源,並減少使用化石燃料是現今一大目標。自從本多與藤嶋教授在1972年發表以二氧化鈦為電極進行光電化學水分解,許多研究人員開始著重於利用半導體為光觸媒進行水分解的研究。藉由光電化學水分解原理,結合太陽光產氫,能有效利用太陽光之光觸媒成為發展重點。本研究即以三氧化鎢一維奈米陣列進行光電化學性質研究,尋找最佳光電化學水分解效率的製備條件,為了得到更好光電化學水分解效率,所以進一步貴金屬批覆。 在研究過程中,我們利用簡單的水熱法一次性製備三氧化鎢一維奈米陣列於鎢片上,並使用光沉積法將貴金屬奈米顆粒(Au、Pt、Pd) 批覆於材料,利用X-射線繞射光譜(XRD)、場發射掃描式電子顯微鏡/能量散射光譜儀(SEM/EDX)、高解析穿透式電子顯微鏡(HRTEM)、X-ray光電子能譜儀(XPS)和紫外光-可見光吸收光譜儀和X光吸收近邊緣結構光譜(XANES)了解材料的表面特性。XRD經分析比對後,三氧化鎢屬於單斜晶系;SEM圖則看出三氧化鎢奈米線隨時間變長,從3小時的0.5μm到10小時的17 μm,而直徑(85 nm)無任何改變;HRTEM顯示三氧化鎢奈米線成長方向為[002];XANES分析結果表示三氧化鎢經過鍛燒可以減少氧空缺情形。 合成材料進行光電化學測試,包含光電流測試、電流-時間曲線和入射單色光子-電子轉換效率(IPCE)。WO3、Au-WO3、Pt-WO3、Pd-WO3的光電化學水分解效率分別為0.22 %、0.29 %、0.26 %、0.21 %,而IPCE則顯示吸收波長範圍,WO3為360~460 nm,Au-WO3為360~520 nm,Pt-WO3為360~480 nm,Pd-WO3為360~460 nm。我們使用簡單的方法成功合成三氧化鎢一維奈米陣列,批覆Au、Pt可以增加材料的光電化學產氫效率以及提升可見光吸收,提供未來改善光電化學性質發展方向
