A New Binary Encoding Disk from Shen Nong's Diagrams in I-Ching and Its Application -- Also Uncovering the e, φ, Spiral Fractal, Fibonacci and TM Sequences in the Encoding Disk
No full textThe Shen Nong's Diagrams of I-Ching is a set of "the dichotomy approach" Diagrams of I-Ching discovered by the author in 1994, which has been published in Chinese core journals. The diagram contains the geometric sequence of 1, 2, 4, 8... Shen Nong's Diagrams of I-Ching actually represents a new binary coding scheme with a specific arrangement and combination of YIN and YANG symbols, in which, the circular diagram constitutes an encoding disk that can be used as a photoelectric code disk. In recent years, the author has discovered that the Fibonacci sequence, TM sequence, φ, e, Pascal's triangle (Yang Hui Triangle), the integer value of the fine structure constant 137, and the spiral fractal structure, which cross coexistence on the encoding disk. Even the spiral structure of the Milky Way is very similar to the spiral of the encoding disk. This provides us with a new perspective and entry point for studying these mathematical and scientific issues and even the internal connections among them, and it is expected to that the encoding disk will be basic tool, which, like Pascal's triangle, will be widely used in the field of mathematical and scientific research

[[alternative]]The Regional Development On San-Sin Plain Of I-lan In Japanese Colonical Regime
No full text[[abstract]]Abstract
The essay is a study in the frontier area, San-sin of I-lan, which dealing with the historical process of this frontier society. It has focus on illustrating the regional specialty of this frontier area, by its original environment and nation mechanism.
Thus, the author attempt to express the following 6 topics：
（1） Analyzing the character of San-sin regional environment,
（2） Constructing the spatial process of land cultivation in Ching Dynasty,
（3） Exploring how the nation mechanism guided the development of this frontier area,
（4） Understanding the pattern of land cultivation in Japanese’s colonial regime,
（5） Finding the detail of economical production of San-sin area in Japanese capitalism and how the nation mechanism reconstructs the environment,
（6） Analyzing the rule of space structure and the character of society in San-sin area,
The results of this study are the follows:
1. San-sin plain is sited on the gate of Tai-Yia tribe, where it was the most dangerous region in Taiwan close-mountainous areas. Meanwhile, the natural environment of San-sin is an alluvial fan, accompanied with several furious floods annually.
Both of the two factors make the crucial key-point to influence San-sin region development.
2. Due to the dangerous environment, Han People experienced very hard time to cultivate this frontier area,but they gains few achievement ,finally.
It’s not until 1850, shugfan （the more civilized aborigines）begun to immigrate into the San-sin plains and developed their community by force.
They built their settlements from north to south, and from east to west on the southern I-Lan. But all the settlements were still sparse on San-sin plain during Ching Dynasty.
3. Japanese colonial authority had diversified its governing aborigine’s policy by setting up cordons from 1903 to 1911, and activated San-sin plain becoming a safe frontier for new immigrants to move in.
4. Shortly after Japanese colonial regime had controlled the aboriginal boundary, it attracted various groups to cultivate this great virgin land.
Under the powerful control of the colonial authority, Japan’s private corporations and I-lan land-owners cultivated the wild land, San-sin plain was well cultivated eventually.
5. After finishing land cultivation, nation mechanism and the capitals make more investments to transform the landscape to a stable area.
Forest resources, camphor trees and cane-sugar become the main business of the San-sin plain, too. In other words, San-sin plain pave its way to a capitalized economical system, ultimately.
6. In the meantime, nation mechanism was also the main power to influence the social structure on San-sin plain. Nation mechanism constructed a good space stratum, and the regional social activities also held in the same administrative division.
The local society was constructed by nation mechanism. It helped the cultivation of San-sin, but in another way, it also made San-sin the same as all other areas in Taiwan.

[[alternative]]A Study on Self-efficacy and Career Planning of Music Teachers at Junior High School
No full text[[abstract]]The study tries to explore the mental need and development model of music teachers, and discuss the relationship between “self-efficacy” and “career planning” and their importance. It focuses on the junior high school music teachers about their“self-efficacy” and“career planning”, study the present situation and the individual difference. We hope the result of this study can be guidelines for junior high school music teachers doing their life planning.
This study used questionnaires according to the research subjects. The first step of this study is collecting and summing up the theories about mental need and development models of teachers, self-efficacy and career planning. Then, according to analysis of literatures, making the study frame, we investigate and analyze using the researcher self-edited “Junior high school music teacher self-efficacy questionnaire” and“Junior high school music teacher career planning questionnaire”. The samples are mainly public junior high school music teachers in Taiwan. In the respects of “Teacher mental need and development models”,“Junior high school music teacher self-efficacy”,“The connection between junior high school music teacher personal properties, school features and self-efficacy”,“The career planning of junior high school music teachers”,“The connection between junior high school music teacher self-efficacy and career planning”, we have specific findings and conclusions as following:
1.To what degree junior high school music teachers meet their mental needs positively affects the establishment of correct philosophy and measure of value in life.
2.The enhancement of junior high school music teachers’ recognition of “Self-efficacy” distinguishes teaching efficiency and promotes teaching quality.
3.Junior high school music teachers should pay attention to staged “learning plan” and make their personal short-term, mid-term, and long-term “career-planning”. It can help develop their multi-dimensional abilities and encourage self-development.
4.Junior high school music teachers are supposed to emphasize the correlation of “Self-efficacy” and “career planning”, for the two items are closely related and interact with each other. Thus, during the process of training teachers, we should add them to the curriculum and lay emphasis on the coordination of theory and reality.
According to the result of this study, the author had proposed some suggestions to music educational administration and further study, which can be reference materials for educational administration, schools, junior high school music teachers and the researchers to come.
[[alternative]]Study of magnetism of Ag-Co ultrathin films on Pt(111) surface
No full text[[abstract]]本實驗以實驗室自製的表面磁光柯爾效應儀(Surface Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect，SMOKE)進行銀-鈷超薄膜的表面磁性研究。配合歐傑電子能譜術(Auger Electron Spectroscopy，AES)鑑別樣品清潔及表面成分。鍍膜時，利用歐傑訊號強度比，計算出薄膜厚度。並配合低能量電子繞射儀(Low Energy Electron Diffractometer，LEED)，研究表面結構。加上離子濺射，來了解經過退火效應後，界面組成成分的變動。
在Pt(111)表面鍍上2ML的鈷超薄膜之後，再鍍上1ML的銀超薄膜，發現在鍍上非磁性的銀薄膜之後，柯爾訊號(Kerr signal)如預期中並無變化。而矯頑磁場Hc(coercive field)有些許增大。然而，再繼續鍍銀上去，Hc並未隨著銀厚度的繼續增加而有增大。接著使樣品經過710K的退火溫度後，發現到不僅柯爾訊號增強，而且矯頑磁場也增強許多。
對1ML Ag/1ML Co/Pt(111)進行磁性探測，使樣品經過710K的退火溫度後，在降溫過程中意外發現到，大約在475K(約200℃)左右仍有柯爾訊號。但是，將樣品繼續降回室溫，竟然發生柯爾訊號消失的奇特現象。而且，再將溫度升到475K左右，柯爾訊號又出現，再降回室溫又消失，重複好幾次皆是如此，具有可回復(reversible)的特性。經過仔細研究，發現是由於在降到室溫左右的時候，矯頑磁場Hc之量值有明顯的增加。因此，外加有限的磁場大小，無法量測出柯爾訊號。實際上，柯爾訊號仍然存在，只是因為Hc變得很大，導致量測不到柯爾訊號。
為了了解此一現象的物理意義，我們由AES、LEED及紫外光電子能譜術(Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy，UPS)來探討物理原因，觀察在475K左右及室溫的變化情形。從LEED及UPS並未發現到有明顯的變化。不過，由AES訊號，我們觀察到在475K左右的時候，鈷和銀的歐傑訊號，有些微的下降，表示有部分的鈷原子和部分的銀原子往下擴散。而降回室溫時，鈷和銀的歐傑訊號，又有些微的上升，表示部分的鈷原子和部分的銀原子往上移動。所以，我們初步研判，在高溫時，鈷和白金的界面較為重要。而在低溫時，變成鈷和銀的界面較為重要，導致矯頑磁場增大，使得柯爾訊號量測不到。
