    Distributed Human Computation (DHC) is a technique used to solve computational problems by incorporating the collaborative effort of a large number of humans. It is also a solution to AI-complete problems such as natural language processing. The Semantic Web with its root in AI is envisioned to be a decentralised world-wide information space for sharing machine-readable data with minimal integration costs. There are many research problems in the Semantic Web that are considered as AI-complete problems. An example is co-reference resolution, which involves determining whether different URIs refer to the same entity. This is considered to be a significant hurdle to overcome in the realisation of large-scale Semantic Web applications. In this paper, we propose a framework for building a DHC system on top of the Linked Data Cloud to solve various computational problems. To demonstrate the concept, we are focusing on handling the co-reference resolution in the Semantic Web when integrating distributed datasets. The traditional way to solve this problem is to design machine-learning algorithms. However, they are often computationally expensive, error-prone and do not scale. We designed a DHC system named iamResearcher, which solves the scientific publication author identity co-reference problem when integrating distributed bibliographic datasets. In our system, we aggregated 6 million bibliographic data from various publication repositories. Users can sign up to the system to audit and align their own publications, thus solving the co-reference problem in a distributed manner. The aggregated results are published to the Linked Data Cloud

    Yang D. Y.-R., Hsu J.-Y. and Ching C.-H. Revisiting the silicon island? The geographically varied 'strategic coupling' in the development of high-technology parks in Taiwan, Regional Studies. High-technology parks have been instrumental for propelling regional development and acclaimed as the panacea for curing regional decline since industrial restructuring after the 1980s in Taiwan. This paper aims to explore the divergent dynamics of different technology park projects in Taiwan as well as their impacts on local development. Inspired by the global production networks (GPNs) perspective, a triangular framework is proposed - the interaction between state intervention, economic competence, and societal forces - to highlight and explain the geographically varied patterns of 'strategic coupling' between the global production networks and local institutional embeddedness that shape the divergent patterns of regional development in Taiwan.

Eine neue Sicht von Silicon Island? Die geografisch unterschiedliche 'strategische Kopplung' in der Entwicklung von Hochtechnologieparks in Taiwan, Regional Studies. Seit der industriellen Umstrukturierung in Taiwan nach den achtziger Jahren haben Hochtechnologieparks bei der Forderung der Regionalentwicklung eine wesentliche Rolle gespielt und wurden als Allheilmittel zur Abwendung eines regionalen Niedergangs gepriesen. In diesem Beitrag untersuchen wir die divergente Dynamik verschiedener Technologiepark-Projekte in Taiwan sowie ihre Auswirkungen auf die lokale Entwicklung. In Anlehnung an die Perspektive der globalen Produktionsnetze (GPN) schlagen wir zur Darstellung und Erlauterung der geografisch unterschiedlichen Muster einer 'strategischen Kopplung' zwischen den globalen Produktionsnetzen und der lokalen institutionellen Einbettung, die die divergenten Muster der Regionalentwicklung in Taiwan pragen, einen dreieckigen Rahmen vor: das Wechselspiel zwischen staatlicher Intervention, wirtschaftlicher Kompetenz und gesellschaftlichen Kraften.

    Based on the ancient Chinese novel written in the ocean view of Khao Sok interest in Confucianism and Buddhism classics try to use each other reference data card, analyze, critique, summarize, trace the evolution of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism to construct the ocean concept. Main thesis consists of six parts. First, On Chinese marine culture and literature in the development of ancient marine ocean view evolve each period. Second, with regard to the pre-Qin Confucian Six Dynasties novel ocean view, this article by the Confucian classics, history anthology of writing and fiction texts related to the sea in an attempt to construct a full view of the ocean Confucian show "Shii to tribute, far from serving appeasement" of king of the world outside through vision, and for overseas interracial Zhongyuan kingship consciousness. Third, the Six Dynasties novels Qin Taoism and Taoist ocean view, the paper by its classic, historical records, miscellaneous philosophers say, for novels, outlines the Department of legendary Taoist celestial three mountain sea, land side pot shengjing, Koon relevant God Township, imperial gardens Langyuan, such as the evolution of the legendary alchemist, and then show Taoism and Taoist immortal words of marine systems. Fourth, the Six Dynasties Buddhist novel ocean view from the sea exchange official book spread Buddhist-oriented, etc., Monk Stories and novels, is now constructing a very odd statement Dharma sea, and divinity significant spread of the Swiss concept of the gods. Fifth, Sui novel concept of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism ocean writing, Confucianism is based on foreign trade and national economic interests combine and highlight the Chinese dynasty "Kyushu Yan Fu, four self-serving" royal consciousness. Taoism is more scared mystical Buddhist community in karma, reincarnation said, and marine Demon, Mountain Dong Fu, fairy cave ideal world, such as Penglai Ocean Wonderland special write evolution. In the Buddhist view of the evolution of the ocean, the ocean has been foreign monk Yang Meng Sambo, was far away to the west, go east and demand law, the victorious Turkey, awareness of life and death, religion dojo. Sixth, the Song Confucian novel concept set out in the ocean "tribute trade" and a strong political overtones, "city ship trade", and to repair Tribute, Bong Zhengshuo to typical Chinese centrism History rendering. Taoist view of the ocean combined with Confucianism and Buddhism three literary myth, so the sea became Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism celestial unity of thought contained field. Buddhist monk is Jutal in unpredictable winds, waves and the Pan Yan Hailing evil Haitian years, successfully engaged in broadcast transmission and circulation of close political and economic culture of the Dharma

    高等植物之葉綠體基因體在結構上一般區分為大單一拷貝(LSC)區域、小單一拷貝(SSC)區域與一組倒置重複序列(IRs),而水稻葉綠體之基因體大小約為134.5-kb,目前已知至少包含4個rRNA基因、30個tRNA基因及超過100個具蛋白質功能的基因。本研究在整理及歸納前人有關限制酵素剪切所造成品種間之DNA長度多型性後,發現秈稉稻之間特定區域的葉綠體DNA序列確實存在長度及單一核苷酸的變異,又考量目前國際有關水稻葉綠體DNA變異之研究只採用三個品種互相比較,且其中兩個屬於稉稻另一為秈稻品種,無法深入探討亞種間或亞種內品種之DNA序列變異。因此,本研究以秈稻及稉稻各九個品種為材料,欲釐清秈稉稻亞種之間及亞種內特有的葉綠體DNA序列變異,並進一步探討這些變異可能影響之葉綠體基因,以及葉綠體DNA與粒線體DNA及核內DNA的演化關係。在總定序長度約576-kb內,共發現97個秈稉稻之間特有的變異,包括27個插入或缺失的片段(InDel),以及70個單一核苷酸多型性(SNP)。亞種間變異中, LSC區域內發生InDel機率遠高於其他區域,有0.03%;而SNP的變異率則以SSC區域內最高,LSC區域次之。另外,在LSC區域內的76 kb附近也發現稉稻高雄139號獨有的一段35-bp的DNA序列插入;而嘉農秈6號、高雄秈2號、台中在來一號與台中秈17號的葉綠體基因體也存在兩個特有且相鄰的SNPs。因而亞種內的葉綠體DNA序列變異以秈稻品種間(6.6x10-3/kb)較稉稻品種間(8.3x10-4/kb)有較大之變異。由於發現所有秈稻與稉稻亞種間具有逆向互補序列存在,可知DNA序列倒置(Inversion)現象發生在兩個亞種分化之前;另外,僅有秈稻亞種內在葉綠體基因體不同區域發現逆向互補序列,可知DNA序列倒置亦發生在亞種分化後之秈稻品種。根據BLAST搜尋的結果,葉綠體具序列變異之DNA片段轉移至核內各染色體的平均事件約為6.42次,相近於轉移至粒線體基因體的7次,可以得知葉綠體DNA片段併入核內或粒線體基因體甚為頻繁。而葉綠體單一拷貝DNA序列內的變異區域轉移至核內基因體的平均次數為6.05,重複序列內變異區域的平均次數則為14.0,約為前者的兩倍,結果也顯示葉綠體DNA片段轉移至核內基因體的頻度大致上沒有區域性的偏好。本研究結果不但有助於瞭解水稻品種間葉綠體DNA之變異,亦有助於探討葉綠體基因與重要農藝性狀之關係。Chloroplast genomes in higher plants generally contain two large inverted repeats (IRs), separated by a large single copy region (LSC) and a small single copy region (SSC). In rice, the chloroplast genome is about 134.5-kb in length and comprises at least four rRNA genes, 30 tRNA genes, and over 100 genes that encoding proteins. By summarizing previous studies on DNA polymorphisms resulted from restriction sites analysis in Oryza, the inter-subspecific length-polymorphisms and SNPs between the chloroplast genomes of Japonica and Indica rice were verified. The cpDNAs have been sequenced completely only in three varieties (the Japonica type, Nipponbare and PA64S; and the Indica type, 93-11), and the relative variation between/within subspecies is still unclear due to lack of more representive varieties. In this study, nine varieties of each subspecies were used to elucidate inter- or intra-subspecific chloroplast variations, the chloroplast genes related to these variations, and the evolutionary relationships among chloroplast, nuclear and mitochondrial DNA. In a total sequence of 576-kb in length, 97 variations in the rice chloroplast genomes between Japonica and Indica, including 27 InDels and 70 SNPs, were detected. In the inter-subspecific variations, the InDel rate in the LSC region (0.03%) was much higher than the other regions, and the highest SNP rate was in the SSC region, followed by the LSC region. In addition, an I-35 was found around the 76 kb in the LSC region existed in KS139 merely, and two adjacent SNPs specifically emerged in CHS6, KSS2, TCN1, and TCS17. And the frequency of variation among Indica varieties was 6.6x10-3 per kb larger than that among Japonica varieties (8.2x10-4 per kb). Based on the differences in reverse-complementary sequence variations between Indica and Japonica varieties, and within Indica varieties, the timings of inversion incidents could be traced back at pre- or post-differentiation stages of rice subspecies, respectively. According to the results from BLAST queries, the average number of cpDNA fragments integrated into the nuclear chromosomes was 6.42, which was near to the number of seven of cpDNA flux to the mitochondrial genome, and it appeared that the occurrence of cpDNA transferring to the nuclear or mitochondrial genomes was frequently. And the averaged transferring frequency for a single copy cpDNA fragment was 6.05, and the transferred frequency for cpDNA fragments in the inverted repeat regions was twice (14 on average) more than the single copy regions. It also indicated that the cpDNA fragments transferring to the nuclear genome were distributed evenly over the chloroplast genome. Results of this study not only contribute the information on chloroplast DNA variations among varieties, but also facilitate further researches on the relation between chloroplast genes and important agronomic traits of rice.Abstract (Chinese) Abstract (English) Introduction………………………………………………………01 Materials and methods.…………………………………………07 Results Chloroplast genomic variations between Japonica and Indica subspecies…………………………………………………………12 Inter-subspecific nucleotide length-polymorphisms………13 Inter-subspecific single nucleotide polymorphisms………19 Intra-subspecific variations…………………………………25 DNA transfer from chloroplasts to nucleus and mitochondria ………………………………………………………………………27 Discussion Inter-subspecific variations…………………………………30 Major and minor chloroplast genotypes within Japonica and Indica rice subspecies…………………………………………34 Occurrence of InDels and inversions…………………………35 Genes related to cpDNA sequence variations………………36 Intra-subspecific variations…………………………………38 cpDNA transfer……………………………………………………39 Conclusion…………………………………………………………40 Reference……………………………………………………………4
