Taiwan located in the conjunction of Eurasian and Philippine Sea plate. The hazards imposed by earthquakes are unique in many respects in this country. Planning to mitigate earthquake hazard requires a unique engineering approaches. It is this fact that has led to earthquake hazard reduction only by the design and construction of earthquake resistant structures. This course will teach the basic concept of seismic hazard, the influence of earthquake performance of structures and provide the principal and basic concept of earthquake resistant design.

1. Understand earthquake phenomenon,

2. Seismic hazard analysis,

3. Earthquake response of SDof system,

4. Earthquake response of MDof system.

5. ealstic response of structure under earthquake excitation,

6. Soil amplification under earthquake excitation,

This is a research oriented course. This course focuses on computation techniques in heterogeneous agents models (HA) in incomplete markets. HA modeling is now widely used in macroeconomics, labor economics, and industrial organization. This type of models can generate endogenous distributions of income, wealth, or firm-size, and hence offers a framework to study inequality, intergeneration mobility, macro-prudential policy, firm size distributions, and policy issues in industry organization. However, this type of models are notoriously hard to solve and must rely on numerical methods. This course will teach relevant numerical methods in this field. This course aims to teach computation techniques in solving heterogeneous agents models. Students will learn relevant techniques to conduct research in this field. Students need to write programming codes every week. College of Social Science Main Campus *Restrict to graduate students.

Format: case presentation and discussion

Students participate in the class will prepare case presentation from his/own patient pool. Each resident is assigned his / her own patients in the first year of the training program, most of which are expected to be completed by the end of the third year. Some of the unfinished cases will be transferred to the second year trainee from the graduates. The second year trainee will select a case undergoing treatment but treatment goal and efficiency not meeting the expectation. The third year trainee will select a completed case to review the treatment outcome.

The presentation will begin with pre-treatment records, evaluating etiology, diagnosis, treatment planning, and treatment outcome (mid-treatment records or final records).

Students are taught the important skills of cephalometric superimposition in order to differentiate the natural growth and treatment effects. After each case presentation, questions will be raised and fully discussed. All the presentation and discussion will be held in English. Problems in diagnosis, treatment planning, treatment procedures, treatment mechanics and management will be carefully reviewed based on individual cases. Constructive opinions will be given on improving treatment efficiency, treatment outcome or biomechanics.

In this class, students learn how to a. obtain and create long term files of quality images of patients using techniques of photography, radiology and cephalometrics. b. collect and organize detailed treatment records which may include care from other providers. c. develop a foundation for understanding and planning treatment and implementation of appropriate treatment objectives and mechanics. d. evaluate treatment progress via cephalometric superimposition. e. manage and motivate patients to participate fully with orthodontic treatment procedures.

Goal: for developing the skill of case presentation in English, evaluating the treatment result via cephalometric superimposition, exercising problem resolving ability in clinical setting

The Asia-Pacific region is frequently divided into four sub-regions: Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Australasia. In September 2016, Taiwan’s government launched the “New Southbound Policy” initiative to enhance cooperation with eighteen countries in Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Australasia with the aim of reducing its dependence on mainland China. In the context of the growing importance of these three sub-regions to Taiwan, this course offers an overview of the politics of each of these three sub-regions. By the end of the course, students will have:

(1) A broad understanding of the Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Australasia sub-regions of the Asia-Pacific and how they relate to Taiwan;

(2) An awareness and ability to discuss some of the major contemporary issues facing each of the sub-regions;

(3) An understanding of the use of the comparative method for the study of regional politics;

(4) The ability to read academic texts in English;

(5) Oral and written communication skills in the English language.
