YOU DON’T NEED TO HEAR, LISTEN, NOR HAVE THEM TRANSLATED IN ORDER TO FEEL THEM. The veteran detective Kuo buries deep in his heart a secret steeped in bitter regrets—though in twenty years, he has shed not one single tear. In this This story is one that is told through sign language. There are no sketch of ordinary lives, Kuo is the axis around whom the drama spins. A conventional conversations or flirting, no corny pick-up lines, and no sensual picture emerges from the gives and takes of the multitude of characters, whispering. Tian Kuo’s pursuit of Yang Yang’s love takes place in silence, exposing the burdens of one another. The day before Kuo’s 60th birthday, between dramatic hand-signs and emotions expressed purely through FESTIVAL following what appears to be a simple case of drug-use by a female student, facial expressions. The many challenges in the nature of hearing-impaired surfaces the long hidden moral ambiguity. The good and evil in the real world communication, paired with the likeable and sometimes quirky personalities do not wear fairytale costumes.

  • Response of Salt Transport and Residence Time to Geomorphologic Changes in an Estuarine System
    water Article Response of Salt Transport and Residence Time to Geomorphologic Changes in an Estuarine System Wen-Cheng Liu *, Min-Hsin Ke and Hong-Ming Liu Department of Civil and Disaster Prevention Engineering, National United University, Miaoli 36063, Taiwan; [email protected] (M.-H.K.); [email protected] (H.-M.L.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +886-37-383357 Received: 21 March 2020; Accepted: 10 April 2020; Published: 12 April 2020 Abstract: Anthropogenic changes in tidal estuaries have significantly altered bathymetry and topography over the past half century. The geomorphic-driven changes in estuarine hydrodynamics and salt transport remain unclear. To explore this issue, a SELFE (Semi-implicit Eulaerian-Lagrangian Finite Element) -based model was developed and utilized in a case study in the Danshui River, Taiwan. The model was calibrated and validated using observed water level, current, and salinity data from 2015, 2016, and 2017. The performance of the SELFE model corresponded well to the measured data. Furthermore, the validated model was utilized to analyze the hydrodynamics, residual current, limit of salt intrusion, and residence time under the predevelopment (1981) and present (2015) conditions. The predicted results revealed that the time lag of water surface elevation at both high tide and low tide under the present condition was approximately 0.5–2 h shorter under the predevelopment condition. The residual circulation under the predevelopment condition was stronger than under the present condition for low flow, causing the limit of salt intrusion to extend further upstream under the predevelopment condition compared to the limit of salt intrusion under the present condition.
