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,

7. Basic seismic design concept,

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

This course offers a balanced, stimulating survey of marine ecology, introducing the key processes and systems from which the marine environment is formed, and the issues and challenges which surround its future conservation.

In general, we will meet 2 hours (Mon 13:20 – 15:10) every week, but occasionally we may watch documentary on the 3rd hours.

For the week 8 and 10, instead of meeting in the classroom, we will spend half day in Mangrove ecocenter and full day in NMMST to discuss the course materials and to explore the environment. Students are expected to develop a broad understanding on various issues of marine ecology, be able to generate an in-depth review on a selected topic and give a presentation.

This is a basic course intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students with knowledge of basic biology. Students who are interested in any fields in ecosystem sciences (e.g. ecology, microbial biology, oceanography, and conservation biology) are all welcome. The background for advanced mathematics is not presumed. We will learn basic mathematical methods for analyzing ecological systems with one-species, two-species, and more species. Statistics and computer programming are beyond our focus. The course is designed for hand-on work. We just need ?gpaper-and-pencil?h for learning how to think quantitatively about populations and communities. If necessary, we will also use well-developed software but we do not need skills in computer programming. There will be dedicated time every week for students to do ?gpaper-and-pencil?h exercise. The topics may include:

1. Introduction to theoretical ecology

2. Exponential and logistic population growth

3. Competitive interaction

4. Resource-consumer dynamics

5. Community dynamics and material fluxes

6. Population dynamics in space

7. Community dynamics in space

8. Matrix models for populations and communities

9. Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning

10. Introduction to numerical calculations

11. Practice for developing a new model The objectives is to provide students with mathematical skills for dynamical modeling of populations and communities, which are necessary for mechanistic and quantitative understanding of complexity in ecological systems.

This is a course intended for students with basic knowledge of life science and/or ecology. Most examples are based on ecological processes, but students in any fields of life science are also welcome. The skills to build and analyze a dynamical model will be obtained in the first stage. The computer software to easily analyze mathematical models without programing will be provided. In the second stage, students will select a subject based on his/her own interest and will learn how to develop a model based on the subject and how to analyze the model. The objectives are to provide students know-how and tacit knowledge to develop a new dynamical model based on research interest. Opportunities to learn basic modeling blocks and how to analyze dynamical models are also provided.

The rapid decline of coral reefs around the world motivates research to better understand how this complex ecosystem will respond to future environmental changes. This course will review current knowledge on reef organisms and coral reef ecosystem, and will study the factors responsible for reef degradation. The basic elements to assess resilience of this ecosystem will be introduced. The students will learn how the knowledge and skills obtained through the lectures and practice work can be used for the management and the conservation of this fragile ecosystem.
