  • Factors Associated with body mass index among young adults in Taiwan

    Creator:
    Lai, I-Ju
    Abstract:
    Obesity is a major public health problem and is a risk factor for hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. In addition, the prevalence of obesity appears to be increasing worldwide, making it important to determine the nature and extent of obesity in populations at risk. The aim of this study...

  • Application of an ecological model to dairy product consumption behavior among eighth graders in Taipei, Taiwan

    Creator:
    Lai, I-Ju
    Abstract:
    Calcium is important to bone health as well as related to a number of health problems such as osteoporosis, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and some cancers. Calcium intake level was far below the Dietary Reference Intake and dairy product consumption was inconsistent with the Daily Dietary Guidelines among adolescents in Taiwan...

  • Rebound predictions of mechanical collisions

    Creator:
    Lai, Liang-Ju
    Abstract:
    Predictions of mechanical collisions between two bodies frequently cannot be completed by the impulse-momentum equation together with a complete description of the motion of the system at the initial contact. Additional account must be taken of the deformations and frictional interaction induced by the impulsive reaction force, where the bodies...

  • The effect of cold stress on the modulation of vascular adrenergic transmission by acetylcholine

    Creator:
    Merrigan, Michael Dean
    Abstract:
    The effect of acetylcholine on vascular adrenergic neuroeffector transmission was investigated. Caudal arteries of rats were isolated and their responses to electrical stimulation of the adrenergic nerves and/or acetylcholine were monitored. Acetylcholine had no effect on the basal perfusion pressure or the vascular response to norepinephrine in arteries from non-stressed...

  • The effect of cold-stress on alpha₂ modulation of transmitter release and transmitter uptake in the rat caudal artery

    Creator:
    Rawson, Cathleen L.
    Abstract:
    The level of postganglionic sympathetic nerve activity is important in determining the tone of vascular smooth muscle, and subsequent maintenance of normal blood pressure. It is generally agreed that receptors located on postganglionic nerve terminals (pre-junctional alpha₂ receptors) are important in the modulation of neurotransmitter (norepinephrine) release from these nerves....

  • The relationship between the gut and the water-electrolyte balance of a marine teleost, Enophrys bison (Girard)

    Creator:
    Sleet, Randolph Bullock
    Abstract:
    In higher vertebrates, normal digestion and absorption by the gastrointestinal tract are dependent on the orderly and controlled transit of intraluminal contents. A relationship between fluid passage through the gut and absorption from the gut has yet to be examined in fish. In marine teleosts, the osmolality and ion concentration...

  • Multiple Instance Learning for Histopathological Image Classification

    Creator:
    Lai, Phung
    Abstract:
    In histopathological image analysis, image classification as well as pattern detection play a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment process since the goal is to not only differentiate cancer types but also identify cancerous manifestations. Fully supervised learning strategies tend to address these problems using manually annotated cancerous regions...

  • Discrete Morse Theory and Persistent Homology

    Creator:
    Lai, Chung-Ping
    Abstract:
    In this paper we explain at the theoretical level how discrete Morse theory can provide us a more efficient approach to compute persistent homologies. In achieving so we also provide a framework for discrete Morse theory to be applied to persistent homology for other purposes.

  • Microstrips on gold-doped silicon substrates

    Creator:
    Lai, Cheng-wen
    Abstract:
    The power dissipation of microstrip transmission-line on gold-doped silicon substrates was investigated. The gold-doping was applied to a regular n-type silicon substrate with resistivity of 5 to 10 ohm-cm. Insertion-loss tests were employed to measure the power dissipation of the microstrips. Power dissipation somewhat less than that for intrinsic silicon...

  • Tolerating processor-memory performance gap

    Creator:
    Lai, Shih-Chang
    Abstract:
    While the performance gap between microprocessors and main memory is ever increasing each year, cache memory has been a bridge to alleviate this discrepancy. In this thesis proposal, we introduce three techniques to tolerate this processor and memory speed imbalance. First, we propose the bloom filter scheme to identify which...
