INTRODUCTION Journal of the Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers (formerly Journal of the Chinese Institute of Chemical Engineers) publishes original works, from fundamental principles to practical applications, in the broad field of chemical engineering with special focus on three aspects: (1) Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Technology; (2) Energy and Environmental Science and Technology; (3) Materials Science and Technology. Authors should choose for their manuscript an appropriate aspect section and a few related classifications when submitting to the journal online. Papers will be published only when they are judged by the Editor to be characterized by some general significant conclusions or by experimental data having potential lasting value. Types of paper Papers appearing in the journal are of four basic types: (1) Original Papers: formal presentation of significant and completed research work. (2) Short Communications: brief reports which need prompt publication. (3) Review Articles: review of important or emerging areas of chemical engineering for general readers should be timely and critical and contains the background, state of the art development, and future perspective of the area. (4) Letter to the Editor: general comments on established chemical engineering topics and discussion of published papers. (5) Chemical Engineering Data: systematic presentation of data of thermodynamic and transport properties, or of design data from original measurements. Maximum length: (a) For Original Papers, the text should not exceed 4500 words in length (including main text, references, and figure captions) and display items (including figures, schemes, and tables) should not exceed 3000 words or 10 items, on the basis of a figure or table of 3 in. x 3 in. equivalent to 300 words. (b) Short Communications and Letters to Editors should not exceed 3000 and 1200 words (including text, references, figures captions, and display items), respectively, on the basis indicated above. In the cover letter, authors must state the word counts of text and display items for their submitted manuscript. Contact details for submission Manuscripts submitted for publication in this Journal should be written in English. Submission for all types of manuscripts to Journal of the Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers proceeds totally online. Only original source files should be submitted.

Note: Please do not convert the .docx template to another file type. Author signatures are not required. If there are no interests to declare, please choose the first option in the template. More information. Submission declaration and verification Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract, a published lecture or academic thesis, see 'Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication' for more information), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, including electronically without the written consent of the copyright- holder. To verify originality, your article may be checked by the originality detection service Crossref Similarity Check. Use of inclusive language Inclusive language acknowledges diversity, conveys respect to all people, is sensitive to differences, and promotes equal opportunities. Content should make no assumptions about the beliefs or commitments of any reader; contain nothing which might imply that one individual is superior to another on the grounds of age, gender, race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, disability or health condition; and use inclusive language throughout. Authors should ensure that writing is free from bias, stereotypes, slang, reference to dominant culture and/or cultural assumptions. We advise to seek gender neutrality by using plural nouns ("clinicians, patients/clients") as default/wherever possible to avoid using "he, she," or "he/she." We recommend avoiding the use of descriptors that refer to personal attributes such as age, gender, race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, disability or health condition unless they are relevant and valid. These guidelines are meant as a point of reference to help identify appropriate language

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.
