(2) Classification of current and non-current items A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise, they are classified as non-current assets: (a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized or consumed, or are intended to be sold within the normal operating cycle; (b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes; (c) Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date; (d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise, they are classified as non-current liabilities: (a) Liabilities arising from operating activities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle; (b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities; (c) Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the balance sheet date; (d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. C. Since the normal operating cycle from constructing to selling the properties is usually more than one year, the assets and liabilities relating to construction or long-term construction contracts are classified as current and non-current items based on the operating cycle. Other assets and liabilities are classified based on the period of one year. ~10~ (3) Foreign currency transactions A. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into functional currency at the spot exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates. Exchange gains or losses due to the difference between the exchange rate on the transaction date and the exchange rate on the date of actual receipt and payment are recognized in current year’s profit or loss. B. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the spot exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss. However, exchange gains or losses on overseas inter-company accounts that are, in nature, deemed long-term is accounted for as a reduction in stockholders’ equity. C. For non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at fair value with differences recognized in profit or loss, any exchange component arising from translation at the spot rate prevailing at the balance sheet date shall be recognized in profit or loss. Conversely, for non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at fair value with differences recognized directly in equity, any exchange component arising from translation at the spot rate prevailing at the balance sheet date shall be recognized directly in equity. However, non-monetary items that are measured on a historical cost basis are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. D. The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into New Taiwan dollars using the exchange rates at the balance sheet date except for equity accounts, which are translated at historical rates. Dividends are translated at the rates prevailing at the date of declaration. Profit and loss accounts are translated at weighted-average rates of the year. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as “cumulative translation adjustments” under stockholders’ equity, and recorded as a component of statement of income when sold or liquidated. (4) Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss A. Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting and are recognized initially at fair value. B. These financial instruments are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and the gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. The fair values of listed stocks, OTC stocks, closed-end mutual funds, and depository receipts are determined by the closing prices at the balance sheet date. The fair value of open-end mutual funds is based on the net asset value at the balance sheet date. C. For a derivative that does not meet the criteria for hedge accounting, it is initially recognized at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and is subsequently remeasured at its fair value. If a derivative is a non-option derivative, the fair value initially recognized is zero. D. For call options, put options, conversion price resetting options and non-equity conversion options embedded in bonds payable issued by the Company, please refer to Note 2 (18). (5) Notes, accounts and other receivables A. Notes and accounts receivable are claims resulting from the sale of goods or services. Receivables arising from transactions other than the sale of goods or services are classified as other receivables. Notes, accounts and other receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. B. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. If such

  • A Data-Driven Probabilistic Rainfall-Inundation Model for Flash-Flood Warnings
    water Article A Data-Driven Probabilistic Rainfall-Inundation Model for Flash-Flood Warnings Tsung-Yi Pan 1,*, Hsuan-Tien Lin 2 and Hao-Yu Liao 3 1 Center for Weather Climate and Disaster Research, National Taiwan University, Taipei 10617, Taiwan 2 Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taipei 10617, Taiwan; [email protected] 3 Research Center of Climate Change and Sustainable Development, National Taiwan University, Taipei 10617, Taiwan; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +886-2-33661710 Received: 20 October 2019; Accepted: 27 November 2019; Published: 30 November 2019 Abstract: Owing to their short duration and high intensity, flash floods are among the most devastating natural disasters in metropolises. The existing warning tools—flood potential maps and two-dimensional numerical models—are disadvantaged by time-consuming computation and complex model calibration. This study develops a data-driven, probabilistic rainfall-inundation model for flash-flood warnings. Applying a modified support vector machine (SVM) to limited flood information, the model provides probabilistic outputs, which are superior to the Boolean functions of the traditional rainfall-flood threshold method. The probabilistic SVM-based model is based on a data preprocessing framework that identifies the expected durations of hazardous rainfalls via rainfall pattern analysis, ensuring satisfactory training data, and optimal rainfall thresholds for validating the input/output data. The proposed model was implemented in 12 flash-flooded districts of the Xindian River. It was found that (1) hydrological rainfall pattern analysis improves the hazardous event identification (used for configuring the input layer of the SVM); (2) brief hazardous events are more critical than longer-lasting events; and (3) the SVM model exports the probability of flash flooding 1 to 3 h in advance.

  • Toward an Urban Frontier and the Inter-Linkage: the Taipei Scenario
    Proceedings of the 8th Conf. Int. Forum Urban., D026, doi:10.3390/ifou-D026. True Smart and Green City? 8th Conference of the International Forum on Urbanism Conference Proceedings Paper Toward an Urban Frontier and the Inter-Linkage: The Taipei Scenario Tzen-Ying Jenny Ling Architecture Department, Tamkang University, No. 151, Yingzhuan Road, Tamsui District, New Taipei City, 25157, Taiwan * Author to whom correspondence should be addressed; Tel.: +886-262-156-56; Fax: +886-239- 59318; E-Mail: [email protected] Abstract: The hybridization or cross breeding of the regional spatial transformation creates an urban frontier that expresses the tectonic shifts focusing on urban activities change and population migration. The scalar shift that spans across the regional scale brings what lacks within the inter-linkage of “city” and “world” and look beyond the territorial division at large. In Taipei, the phenomenon of geographic concentration of specific sector and economic activity in the metropolitan areas imply the underlying characteristic expounded beneath that can be utilized. Size and growth rate of urbanization thru the population concentration highlight the presence of an intense redistribution, creating a frontier land in need of inter liking of a sort. The empirical results highlight the need for improved connectivity between the northern and other regions in Taiwan and the need to address two major issues--the need re-examine the management policy for land and industry development and the need to provide the suitable public facilities and services for the changing population structure. Other spatial paradigms such as networks or nodes may provide unconventional texture and visualizations of this region, which we can develop into a scalable set of strategies that allocate more localized considered operations to emerge.

  • INTRODUCTION MEMBERS National Taiwan Normal University Library
    INTRODUCTION "The Taiwanese Alliance of University Museums" ("TAUM" in short) began as an on-going network of coop- erative projects and professional friendships held between the university museums, historical archives, galleries, and libraries of the universities in Taiwan. The initiative began at the "2016 University Museum Conference" organized by the National Cheng Kung University Museum, where the representatives of participating universi- ties have achieved consensus related to the eventual establishment of the Alliance in the following May. Its first meeting was then held on August 23, 2017 at National Cheng Kung University Museum in Tainan. The mission of TAUM is to encourage and initiate smoother frequent cooperation and exchanges of experi- ences between university museums, historical archives, galleries, and libraries. TAUM welcome more members to use this platform. It also seeks for international connection and opportunities of cooperation for staff training, traveling exhibition, exchange of management experience, and joint researches.
