This course provides an introduction to the global law relating to international commercial contracts. A major focus will be on contracts of sales, as codified by the Vienna Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG). However, some issues of the general law of contract will also be covered in detail (eg formation, interpretation, third party rights, the duty of good faith and fair dealing). The treatment of some of these topics will be based on an examination of the 2010 UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (PICC). The approach is comparative. Examples will be drawn from the decisions of national courts as well as arbitral awards. A student who has successfully completed this subject should:

_ be aware of the nature of transnational commercial law;

_ be aware of the specific legal problems that arise from international commercial transactions;

_ be familiar with the Vienna Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG);

_ be familiar with the 2010 UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (PICC).

This course focuses on establishing epidemiologic concept and the ability of research design, and performing data analyses for observational studies. This course includes three parts: The first part is study design, which gives an introduction of causal inference and the principle of study design. The second part is analytical method, which gives an introduction on data analyses and the applications of statistical method. The third part is critical appraisal, which establishes students ability in reviewing specified literatures. The content of this course mainly follows the book Rothman KJ. Epidemiology: An Introduction. New York: Oxford University Press (2002) with the addition of chapters from other reference books. The examples from Taiwan unique research topics are given and illustrated in the course. For the latter part of this course, students will receive three papers for critical review and then present the results.

For lab data analysis, some example datasets will be distributed to students. Each week, students perform statistical analyses using these datasets and then send TA homework a week later. TA will demonstrate the SAS code and provide the answers for specific topics.

Students may use SAS, Stata, SPSS, and R programs for preparation the homework and lab data analyses.
This course establishes the following competencies via (1) the introduction of epidemiologic concept and research design using Taiwan unique research topics, (2) practice of data analysis, and (3) training on critical review:

1. Correctly use the principle of causal inference on literature reading and doing doctoral research.

2. Understand how random variation and bias affect research findings.

3. Understand the principle of cohort study and case-control study.

4. Learn Taiwan unique research topics.

5. Use statistical program to analyze example data set for observational studies.

(5) Smart Antennas

(6) Frequency Independent Antennas

The object of this course is to introduce the graduate students (or senior undergraduate students) more advantced subjects in the antenna related areas. It is particularly useful for the students to pursue the advanced studies and researches in the antenna area. Not only the basic theory will be introduced, the practical applications will also summarized. This students should have basic background in electromagnetics and antenna concepts. After taking this course, in conjunction with the basic antenna course, the students should have the sufficient background to explore the potentials of antenna technologies in the practical applications.

The use of light for scientific investigation in biomedical research and non-invasive diagnostics has become increasingly important and popular thanks to high sensitivity, minimum perturbation to living organisms, functionality and affordable cost of optical instruments enabled by recent advances in both photonic and electronic technologies. This course is designed to cover the principles, concepts, practical implementations and applications of optical spectroscopy and imaging techniques that are commonly used for biomedical sensing and diagnosis. The first part of the course introduces absorption, fluorescence, infrared, elastic scattering and Raman scattering spectroscopies. The second part of the course introduces various optical imaging techniques including conventional light microscopy techniques (phase contrast, darkfield, polarization, differential interference contrast, structured illumination), confocal microscopy, optical coherence tomography, multiphoton microscopy, quantitative phase microscopy and super-resolution imaging. Recent applications of various optical techniques in medical diagnostics will also be reviewed. The objective is to provide the students with a working knowledge of these techniques with extended goals of enabling the students to choose appropriate tools for related biomedical research and preparing the students for further development of instruments and applications.
