Therefore, this course will start with the introduction of the concept of rehabilitative ecology and cooperate with a comprehensive discussion on the ecological theories at different levels from community, ethnic group, ecosystem and topographical ecology, and their applicability in practicing ecological remediation. This course will take a series of lectures to explore examples of countries in the world to help students understand the practice of ecological restoration from the planning design, implementation and management stages to identify the threats and limitations and to understand the success or failure of the rehabilitation s reason. At the end of this course students should be able to:

Understand the science of restoration ecology and the practical skills of ecological restoration;

Develop ability to integrate ecological theories and information across levels of ecological organization and across tmeporal and spatial scales when planning and implementing ecological restoration as well as managing and analyzing restored systems;

Convince other people that ecological restoration is a worthwhile activity and that it is essential tool for mitigating human-induced threats to ecosystems and achieving sustainable environments.

The purpose of this course is to introduce four major methods and their applications in the measurement of efficiency and productivity growth. The four major methods are: least-squares econometric production models, index numbers, data envelopment analysis (DEA), and stochastic frontiers analysis. The basic concepts, characteristics and limitations of each methodology will be elaborated. Numeric exercises and case studies will be provided.

Specifically, major items includes:

1) Basic concepts of production theory and their applications.

2) Production function, cost function, profit function and duality.

3) Empirical applications of Production function, cost function, profit function.

4) Introduction and applications of index numbers and total factor productivity

5) Introduction and applications of Data Envelopment Analysis

6) Introduction and applications of Stochastic Frontier Analysis

7) Introduction and applications of GAMS、SHAZAM、SAS and related softwares in the measurement of efficiency and productivity growth

The forest covers Taiwan from the coast to the top of mountains of nearly 4,000 m elevations. The environment influencing the floristic composition is highly heterogeneous, and at the same time, two floristic kingdoms are coexisting on this island. These and other factors result in a high diversity of forest communities in Taiwan, which we are going to observe and interpret.
This course will be composed of theoretical lectures and field excursions. In the lectures, instructors will introduce important factors influencing the distribution and floristic differentiation of forest in Taiwan and the other regions. There will be three field excursions; instructors would guide the first two, and students the third as a part of practice and the final exam. In the first two excursions, instructors will help students to explore the forest diversity and its relevant environmental factors. Students will lead the third trip and prepare it in advance. It’s necessary for students to read relevant literature about the region, and if possible even visit the region before the excursion. Students, in turn, will take independent leads, to give them an opportunity to show what they know in general about forest ecology and specifically about the vegetation in a particular region, and how able they are to explain this knowledge to the others. The goal of this course is to train the student as professional English-speaking guides for introducing the forest of Taiwan. Students will learn how to discover the diversity of forest in Taiwan, observe the characters of different forest vegetation types and their distribution, and practice how to explain the observed pattern to the public. College of Bio-Resources & Agriculture Main Campus *There will be several excursions during the semester. Casualty insurance is strictly required for each trip. Students themselves should pay all personal expenses including personal equipment, traffic, food, accommodation and insurance.

In this course we will study the interactions between multiple players (decision makers). Such problems arise frequently in supply chain applications. The interaction of a firm with its competitors, customers and suppliers can be modeled as a game, and hence, our main tool of analysis in this course will be Game Theory. Course goals will be accomplished through lectures, homework and readings. Lectures will emphasize the theoretical aspects of the field, and homework will focus on problem solving skills. This course will be offered in English. This course is designed to help students connect game theory with practices in issues of supply chains, industrial economics, or some related topics in decentralized systems, where individual entrepreneurs have their own profit functions and often are unwilling to reveal their own information to each other or the public.
