Through the Lantern Festival, the unique attractions of various towns and cities in Taiwan have been shown to the world. This has boosted tourism earnings and showcased the Lantern Festival culture. After hosting the event in 2003 and 2015, Taichung city is once again the location of the Taiwan Lantern Festival. The theme of this year's Lantern Festival is "Brighten Taichung. A Resurgence of Dawn." This combines the local forest environment and the image of dawn in the hope of adding vitality to the forest fantasy through traditional lantern arts. It also symbolizes the illumination of Taiwan through the Taiwan Lantern Festival, and the "dawn" light also has the meaning of the Year of the Rat as the Chinese word for dawn – “shu” – sounds like the word for "rat." This represents our hope and infinite wishes for the future. Through this annual event, the five characteristics of Taichung - rich ecological conservation, creative life, cultural assets, economic industry, and diversity and co-prosperity - are displayed, so that people can feel the city's local characteristics and beauties. 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Taichung Taoyuan Yunlin Chiayi Pingtung Taichung 5 Taiwan Lantern Festival in Taichung 6 7 8 Taiwan Lantern Festival in Taichung 9 Taiwan Lantern Festival in Taichung Introduction to the Lantern Areas Theme Lantern Guardian of the Forest - Tree of Light Theme Lantern Designer: Lin Shuen Long Guardian of the Forest - Tree of Light Accompanied by fluttering butterflies, chirping birds and fragrant flowers, this lantern is an artistic representation of a simple seed that emerges and transforms into a giant tree. The seed’s spirit then rises up and is reincarnated in the sky as a full moon and a rising sun floating upon the life energy of Taiwan. The 22 illuminated bands along the tree’s trunk represent Taiwan’s 22 cities and counties, while the 368 flower buds represent its districts and townships and the 2,359 heart-shaped leaves represent Taiwan’s 23.59 million people. Finally, gathering together at the top of the tree are a group of dancing butterflies and a family of White-eared Sibias. “Guardian of the Forest - Tree of Light” joins us in praying for Taiwan’s harmony, unity, well-being, happiness, and prosperity. 10 Taiwan Lantern Festival in Taichung The Sound of Flowers Blooming - Heart of Everlasting Light Situated in the center of a big plaza, The Sound of Flowers Blooming - Heart of Everlasting Light is characterized by white flowing light like a flock of birds or a starry sky. Spectators are free to appreciate the moving lights and shadows along the area’s walking paths, or sit in a corner to enjoy the scene. This installation manifests the dynamic beauty of technology and nature. The Heart of Everlasting Light symbolizes the flow of life, with changing lights and shadow that seem to carry a rhythm, a song, a sense of time… perhaps a poem about life. Dreamlike and touching, the dots of light and mechanical devices here bring happiness that spectators can take home along with their happy memories. Note: "The Heart of Everlasting Light" was originally the title of the creation "Listen to the Voice of Flowers" at the Taichung World Flower Expo 2018. With the core concept of co-creation, it gathered industry, government, academia and artists to work together for industry, technology, art and nature. 11 Taiwan Lantern Festival in Taichung Side Lantern A Hundred Singing Birds Blessings to the World Jazz and a Mice Wedding Traditional Side Lantern Creative Side Lantern Designer: Wang Yao-jui Designer: Lin Chi-yu Traditional Side Lantern Designer: Lan Yung-chi If you listen carefully, you will find that In traditional Taiwanese culture, “the life is as beautiful as music.

  • Genetic Variability and Divergence of Neutrodiaptomus Tumidus Kiefer 1937
    Young et al. Zoological Studies 2014, 53:22 http://www.zoologicalstudies.com/content/53/1/22 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Genetic variability and divergence of Neutrodiaptomus tumidus Kiefer 1937 (Copepoda: Calonida) among 10 subpopulations in the high mountain range of Taiwan and their phylogeographical relationships indicated by mtDNA COI gene Shuh-Sen Young1*, Yan-Ying Lee1 and Min-Yun Liu2 Abstract Background: In the mountain area of Taiwan, we investigated 10 subpopulations of Neutrodiaptomus tumidus Kiefer 1937 living in isolated alpine ponds or lakes. We used mitochondrial DNA cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (COI) sequence as molecular marker to investigate the population genetic structure and their phylogeographical relationships. Results: We obtained 179 sequences from 10 subpopulations and found 94 haplotypes. Nucleotide composition was AT-rich. Haplotype diversity (Hd) and nucleotide diversity (π) indicated significant genetic differences between subpopulations (Hd = 0.131 ~ 0.990; π = 0.0002 ~ 0.0084); genetic differentiation index (Fst) and gene flow index (Nm) also exhibited significant genetic diversification between subpopulations (Fst = 0.334 ~ 0.997; Nm =0~1).Using Tajima’s D and Fu and Li’s D*andF* as neutrality tests, we found that the nucleotide variation within the population was consistent with the neutral theory except in the JiaLuoHu subpopulation. The JiaLuoHu subpopulation significantly deviated from the neutral theory and was speculated to have experienced a bottleneck effect. According to the phylogenetic tree, these alpine lake subpopulations could be divided into four phylogroups (northern region, Xueshan group, central region, and southwestern region). Xueshan group contains one subpopulation, DuRongTan, which is a unique group relative to other groups.

  • Evaluating Landslides and Sediment Yields Induced by the Chi-Chi Earthquake and Followed Heavy Rainfalls Along the Ta-Chia River
    Journal of GeoEngineering,S.-J. Chiou, et Vol. al.: 2, Evaluating No. 2, pp. Landslides73-82, August and 2007 Sediment Yields Induced by the Chi-Chi Earthquake and Heavy Rainfalls 73 EVALUATING LANDSLIDES AND SEDIMENT YIELDS INDUCED BY THE CHI-CHI EARTHQUAKE AND FOLLOWED HEAVY RAINFALLS ALONG THE TA-CHIA RIVER Shian-Jin Chiou1, Chin-Tung Cheng2, Shih-Meng Hsu1, Yan-Hsiang Lin1, and Shu-Yeong Chi3 ABSTRACT Chi-Chi (Taiwan) earthquake and the followed typhoons induced heavy landslides and debris flows in the watershed of Ta- Chia river, the sediment yields from landslides caused lots of damages on the infrastructures including dams, power plants, bridges, villages and recreative parks. In order to evaluate the geohazards due to landslides and sediment yields along Ta-Chia river, the quantitative evaluation was conducted by using remote sensing images obtained at 6 stages of major disastrous events. Furthermore, the HEC-6 program was adopted to simulate the condition of deposit of Ta-Chia river in the near future according to the case history in Japan. The results show the highest level of riverbed deposited around the Chingshan office would raise more than 20 m in addition. Among the branch creeks of Ta-Chia river, Pi-Ya-Sun creek and Ji-Ler creek brought the larger sediment yields from landslides in the sub-watershed than other creeks. The area and volume of new landslides induced by disastrous events from 1999-2005 were over 24 million m2 and 50-70 millions m3, respectively. The new landslide area induced by the rain- fall with 200-year return period will be approximately 4 million m2 in the future.

This dissertation may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee The History and Politics of Taiwan’s February 28 Incident, 1947- 2008 by Yen-Kuang Kuo BA, National Taiwan Univeristy, Taiwan, 1991 BA, University of Victoria, 2007 MA, University of Victoria, 2009 Supervisory Committee Dr. Zhongping Chen, Supervisor Department of History Dr. Gregory Blue, Departmental Member Department of History Dr. John Price, Departmental Member Department of History Dr. Andrew Marton, Outside Member Department of Pacific and Asian Studies iii Abstract Taiwan’s February 28 Incident happened in 1947 as a set of popular protests against the postwar policies of the Nationalist Party, and it then sparked militant actions and political struggles of Taiwanese but ended with military suppression and political persecution by the Nanjing government. The Nationalist Party first defined the Incident as a rebellion by pro-Japanese forces and communist saboteurs. As the enemy of the Nationalist Party in China’s Civil War (1946-1949), the Chinese Communist Party initially interpreted the Incident as a Taiwanese fight for political autonomy in the party’s wartime propaganda, and then reinterpreted the event as an anti-Nationalist uprising under its own leadership.

  • A Method of Multi-Stage Reservoir Water Level Forecasting Systems: a Case Study of Techi Hydropower in Taiwan
    energies Article A Method of Multi-Stage Reservoir Water Level Forecasting Systems: A Case Study of Techi Hydropower in Taiwan Hao-Han Tsao 1 , Yih-Guang Leu 1,*, Li-Fen Chou 2 and Chao-Yang Tsao 2 1 Department of Electrical Engineering, National Taiwan Normal University, Taipei 106, Taiwan; [email protected] 2 Taiwan Power Company, Taipei 100, Taiwan; [email protected] (L.-F.C.); [email protected] (C.-Y.T.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Reservoirs in Taiwan often provide hydroelectric power, irrigation water, municipal water, and flood control for the whole year. Taiwan has the climatic characteristics of concentrated rainy seasons, instantaneous heavy rains due to typhoons and rainy seasons. In addition, steep rivers in mountainous areas flow fast and furiously. Under such circumstances, reservoirs have to face sudden heavy rainfall and surges in water levels within a short period of time, which often causes the water level to continue to rise to the full level even though hydroelectric units are operating at full capacity, and as reservoirs can only drain the flood water, this results in the waste of hydropower resources. In recent years, the impact of climate change has caused extreme weather events to occur more frequently, increasing the need for flood control, and the reservoir operation has faced severe challenges in order to fulfil its multipurpose requirements. Therefore, in order to avoid the waste of hydropower resources and improve the effectiveness of the reservoir operation, this paper proposes a real-time 48-h ahead water level forecasting system, based on fuzzy neural networks with multi-stage Citation: Tsao, H.-H.; Leu, Y.-G.; Chou, L.-F.; Tsao, C.-Y.
