We describe a series of novel computational models, CERENKOV (Computational Elucidation of the REgulatory NonKOding Variome) and its successors CERENKOV2, CERENKOV3, and Convolutional CERENKOV3, for discriminating regulatory single nucleotide polymorphisms (rSNPs) from non-regulatory SNPs within non-coding genetic loci. The CERENKOV models are designed for recognizing rSNPs in the context of...
Biologists regularly collect images of leaves for their further studies. One such biological study of leaves is scoring the phenomic characters of leaves for the construction of the Tree of Life (ToL), i.e. the evolutionary lineage of taxa in botany. There is an opportunity for computer vision to help biologists...
Shan-Mei, a Tsou aboriginal village in Taiwan, is widely known as a legend of environmental conservation, where ecotourism has been successfully combined with integrated community development. Indigenous knowledge containing "ecological wisdom" and decision-making based on consensus are perceived to be the greatest contributors to this achievement. I conducted three months...
This exploratory investigation aimed to identify preservice science teachers' conceptions of the nature of science (NOS), and worldviews that represent their culturally dependent beliefs about the world, in the context of Taiwan. The interrelationships between the responses elicited from both the assessments of NOS understandings and worldviews were examined. Participants...
The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is tightly regulated in biological systems as overproduction can lead to oxidative stress and result in a number of diseases. Due to its negative effects, antioxidants are studied and used against ROS in medicine, pharmaceuticals and therapeutics. Because of issues with the uptake...
In the recent years, resource depletion of inshore and coastal fisheries has seriously impacted Taiwan. Local fishing communities’ economic profits in these fisheries have declined and resulted in lower earned incomes for the fishermen. These phenomena have lead many scholars, government agencies and fishing communities to evaluate the optimal number...
This study first investigated the developmental changes in the volatile composition and carotenoids of Pinot noir grapes. Grape berries were sampled every week from pea size to harvest during the 2011 and 2012 season. Carotenoids and organic acids were analyzed by HPLC. Volatile compounds were extracted from crushed berries using...
