    2020 TEEP@AsiaPlus Programs List University / Department / Theme Brief Introduction Contact Person Contact E-Mail More Info College Institute ## Title: Ultrasonic Guidance System and Measurement Stand for Image Analysis of Artificial Intelligence Soft Tissue ## Project objectives and expected benefits: The features of this project focus on the category of biotechnology, smart machinery, and deep learning. Although the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images are deliberate to know the location of the soft tissue injury, however, it is not convenient to operate immediately in the clinic. One of the standard clinic measure methods, ultrasound image, is quick and convenient to take in the clinic. However, the scanning angle and posture of the Department of Creative Ultrasound Image, Deep ultrasound probe often affect the image quality and cause difficulty in interpretation. Asia University Dr. Chi-Wen Lung [email protected] Product Design Learning, Soft Tissue. Therefore, the first step of this study will develop an ultrasound probe support system to accuracy the scanning angle and posture. The ultrasound probe support system will be automatically adjusted during different patient scanning processes to improve the scanning quality of the ultrasonic image. The second step of this study will take these benefit quality ultrasonic images to further data analyses in Deep learning. The results of this study would be better to classify the location of soft tissue injury in the clinic. ## Fee and dormitory This project offers $ 500 per person per month. The University can provide paid dormitories (4 beds / room) at a cost of about $ 100 per person per month. This program is a customized study program designed in particular for our sister university students.

  • The Rankings of Research Funding Among Universities in Taiwan
    Mar. 2010, Volume 7, No.3 (Serial No.64) US-China Education Review, ISSN 1548-6613, USA The rankings of research funding among universities in Taiwan WANG Ru-Jer (Department of Education, Graduate Institute of Educational Policy and Administration, National Taiwan Normal University, Taipei 106, Taiwan) Abstract: With the current trend that universities around the world have gradually stepped into higher education systems of popularization, there has been more diversity in universities; hence it has become necessary to increase the transparency of university governance. Since that university classification or university ranking is a powerful mechanism to demonstrate the diversity of an institute, the rankings of research funding have become desirable and also of great value. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the rankings of research funding among universities in Taiwan, and make relevant suggestions based on the findings. A secondary data analysis was conducted on the data obtained from the database of National Science Council, in order to develop the rankings of research funding among 164 universities in Taiwan. Based on the results, the conclusions are as follows: (1) The top three universities which won the funding of the National Science Council Research Project with the best overall strength were National Taiwan University, National Cheng Gung University, and National Chiao Tung University; (2) The top three universities which won the funding of the National Science Council Research Project with the best average faculty strength were National Tsing Hua University, National Chiao Tung University, and National Taiwan University. It is suggested that, when rating the strength of a university to win the research funding, both overall strength and average faculty strength should be considered to avoid the unfairness towards universities of smaller scale.
