  • Chinese Language Centers
    24/1/2015 Ministry of Education Republic of China (Taiwan) Chinese Language Centers The Republic of China(ROC) on Taiwan has for many years been home to numerous institutions devoted to the study of the Chinese Language. Perhaps this is one reason why the number of foreign students coming to the ROC for all levels of language study has been increasing for so long. Students find that in addition to being able to enjoy the benifits of language training facilities, there is a much to be learned from experiencing the blend of tradition and modernity found in Taiwan. Students can simultaneously observe traditional Chinese culture as well as enjoy the advantages of a modern, developed society. This, combined with ease of association with native speakers, is enough to make the ROC a fine Chinese language learning environment.

  • A Novel Measurement System for Mechanical Parts
    Sensors and Materials, Vol. 28, No. 9 (2016) 1043–1051 1043 MYU Tokyo S & M 1266 A Novel Measurement System for Mechanical Parts Kuo-Yi Huang,* Yuh-Chung Hu,1 Mu-Tian Yan,2 and Liang-Shun Chang2 Department of Bio-Industrial Mechatronics Engineering, National Chung Hsing University, Tai-Chung 402, Taiwan 1Department of Mechanical and Electromechanical Engineering, National Ilan University, Ilan 260, Taiwan 2Department of Mechatronic Engineering, Huafan University, New Taipei City 223, Taiwan (Received December 21, 2015; accepted June 1, 2016) Keywords: mechanical parts (MPs), wire EDM, break profiles, image processing In this paper, a novel measurement system simply comprising a scanner is proposed to measure the profiles of mechanical parts (MPs) fabricated by wire electrical discharge machining (EDM). The scanner is used to acquire images of MPs, and a novel measurement procedure is employed, wherein the edge bands of MP images are extracted and then break profiles are fitted and linked to achieve more accurate profiles of MPs. The Sobel filter and image processing techniques are employed to segment edge bands of the MP images. The central moment and polynomial curve fitting are then used to find break profiles in edge bands. Finally, a Bezier curve is employed to link break profiles of edge bands of the images. Experimental results show that the proposed system is accurate and can effectively yield an estimate of the profile of an MP image. This method is immediately applicable in industry to measure MPs because of its simplicity. 1.

Received: 9 March 2010; in revised form: 11 May 2010 / Accepted: 14 May 2010 / Published: 19 May 2010 Abstract: A flexible proximity sensor fully fabricated by inkjet printing is proposed in this paper. The flexible proximity sensor is composed of a ZnO layer sandwiched in between a flexible aluminum sheet and a web-shaped top electrode layer. The flexible aluminum sheet serves as the bottom electrode. The material of the top electrode layer is nano silver. Both the ZnO and top electrode layers are deposited by inkjet printing. The fully inkjet printing process possesses the advantages of direct patterning and low-cost. It does not require photolithography and etching processes since the pattern is directly printed on the flexible aluminum sheet.

  • A Reflective Self-Inquiry Into My Teaching Practices with Non-English-Major Technological University Students
    Canadian Journal of Action Research Volume 14, Issue 3, 2013, pages 59-71 A REFLECTIVE SELF-INQUIRY INTO MY TEACHING PRACTICES WITH NON-ENGLISH-MAJOR TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY STUDENTS Chiu-Kuei Chang Chien, WuFeng University, Taiwan Kuo-Jen Yu, Nanhua University, Taiwan Lung-Chi Lin, Kao Yuan University, Taiwan ABSTRACT Action research allows teachers to evaluate and gain insight into their own practices in their teaching contexts through reflection, and inquire into ways to improve their practices and student learning outcomes. This study is a reflective self-inquiry in which the research team engages in a deliberate and retrospective analysis of the principal investigator’s teaching practices. The purpose is to identify possible factors that cause the low performance of non- major “English as a Foreign Language” students in her university English classes and propose alternative instructional practices and evaluative measures to manage their learning problems. INTRODUCTION Action research allows teachers to gain insight into their own practices in their teaching contexts through reflection and evaluation, and to inquire into methods that can help improve student practices and learning outcomes. It comprises a broad spectrum of approaches to action, change, and inquiries. One form of action research is self-reflective inquiry by which practitioners seek to solve problems, improve practices, and enhance their understanding of their own contexts (Kemmis & McTaggart, 1988; Nunan, 1992). Inquiry is intrinsically a behavior or course of finding
