Computer viruses are major threats to Internet security and privacy, therefore many researchers are addressing questions linked to virus propagation properties, spreading models, epidemic dynamics, tipping points, and control strategies. We believe that two important factors - resource limitations and costs - are being overlooked in this area due to an overemphasis on power-law connectivity distributions of scale-free networks affecting computer virus epidemic dynamics and tipping points. The study show (a) a significant epidemic tipping point does exists when resource limitations and costs are considered, with the tipping point exhibiting a lower bound; (b) when interaction costs increase or usable resources decrease, epidemic tipping points in scale-free networks grow linearly while density curves decrease linearly; (c) regardless of whether Internet user resources obey delta, uniform, or normal distributions, they retain the same epidemic dynamics and tipping points as long as the average value of those resources remains unchanged across different scale-free networks; (d) it is possible to control the spread of a computer virus in a scale-free network if resources are restricted and if costs associated with infection events are significantly increased through the use of a throttling strategy.

We demonstrate femtosecond laser-induced crystallization of glycine from its supersaturated solution depending on laser tunable parameters (pulse energy and repetition rate) and focal position, and examine the crystallization probability, crystal morphology, and crystal polymorph. The generation of cavitation bubble through multiphoton absorption of water depends on input laser pulse energy and repetition rate, which strongly determine morphology and number of the obtained crystals. Significant increase in the crystallization probability is observed by irradiating the femtosecond laser pulses to the air/solution interface, and single pulse-induced single crystal formation is successfully achieved. The crystallization mechanism is discussed in view of inhomogeneous mechanical stress induced by cavitation bubble generation and molecular assembly characteristics of the surface.

The generalized yield index C-pk(T) establishes the relationship between the manufacturing specifications and the actual process performance, which provides a lower bound on process yield for two-sided processes with multiple characteristics. The results attended are very practical for industrial application. In this article, we extended the results in cases with one-sided specification and multiple characteristics. The generalized index C-PU(T) was considered, and the asymptotic distribution of the natural estimator (C)over-cap(PU)(T) was developed. Then, we derived the lower confidence bounds as well as the critical values of index C-PU(T). We not only provided some tables but also presented an application example.

This paper studies the patent licensing decision when firms can endogenously choose their locations. If the insider patentee is the location leader, the royalty is not necessarily the best method of licensing. No licensing can be the best method for an insider patentee with a sufficiently high degree of innovation, but fixed-fee is always the worst. However, if the non-innovating firm is the location leader, the royalty licensing is always the best method; moreover, the fixed-fee licensing (no licensing) is the second best method if the degree of innovation is relatively small (sufficiently large).

Effect of surface preparation on the radiation hardness of MOS devices with high dielectric constant gate dielectric of HfO2 and metal gate of TiN is studied using extreme ultra-violet (EUV) light as the radiation source. Three kinds of surface treatment including HF-last, chemical-oxidation, and rapid-thermal-oxidation were evaluated. Among them, chemical-oxidation exhibits the best radiation hardiness in terms of interface traps and border traps. The state-of-the-art MOSFET with a thin high-k dielectric and a high quality chemical oxide interfacial layer shows that the degradation of subthreshold swing is more severe than degradation of threshold voltage. However, the overall degradation is less than 6% even after EUV irradiation to a total dose of 580 mJ/cm(2). Off-state current degradation is observed due to the generation of oxide traps and interface traps at the isolation region. This phenomenon does not occur In the conventional optical lithography process but should be considered if EUV lithography is used. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

「所有的惡臭都是疾病」：論迪更斯《荒涼山莊》的衛生論述與道德經濟
(國立陽明交通大學出版社, 2013-03-01)
陳重仁
迪更斯擅以城市地景為寫作素材，透過描繪社會底層卑微求生的日常生活，呈現城市貧民窟的擁擠與污穢，藉此揉入他的批判與關懷。本文企圖比對迪更斯的小說《荒涼山莊》與同時期查德維克引領的衛生改造運動，分析何以公共衛生政策首重通風、明亮、乾爽的居住環境，何以迪更斯的小說揭櫫正常化政治的權力運作，又何以醫學寫實與都會醫學大量導入監視生活習慣與管理環境衛生的操作，成為國家醫學中規訓日常生活操作的監視政治。迪更斯揭示日常生活經驗中所「見」所「聞」的瑣碎細節，藉由檢視環境污染與疾病傳染，建立標準、排斥異常根絕疾病、強化健康的醫學正常化機制：日常生活中種種不潔的環境因素不再僅是建立健康城市的參照標準，也是城市居民可感之、可探之且可避之的感染源。
章太炎的「神經病」作為生存位置與革命知識情感動能
(國立陽明交通大學出版社, 2013-03-01)
劉人鵬
1906年，章太炎（1869-1936）在日本〈東京留學生歡迎會演說辭〉中，提出「神經病」作為召喚革命感情與學問事業的重要動能。本文試圖提供一種理解章太炎生命與學術的方式，是重新思考章太炎的「神經病」作為一種經驗立場，以及經常被忽略掉的作為革命知識與感情的重要動能。本文大略追究了19世紀晚期到20世紀初期「神經病」一詞的源流與多重語義，並且從兩個脈絡閱讀章太炎的「神經病」，一是「革命者」，一是有「腦病」的人。透過這二個線索的閱讀，本文一方面試圖將「神經病」的具體血肉經驗清晰化，另一方面也將章太炎的「神經病」闡釋為一種論述位置，亦即一個說話的位置，在這個位置上，凝聚了章太炎經驗、政治、社會以及知識立場。

A subgraph in an edge-colored graph is multicolored if all its edges receive distinct colors. In this paper, we study the proper edge-colorings of the complete bipartite graph K-m,K-n which forbid multicolored cycles. Mainly, we prove that (1) for any integer k >= 2, if n >= 5k - 6, then any properly n-edge-colored K-k,K-n contains a multicolored C-2k, and (2) determine the order of the properly edge-colored complete bipartite graphs which forbid multicolored C-6.

This paper proposes a new hybrid cyclic delay diversity (HCDD) scheme for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Unlike the existing double space time transmit diversity (DSTTD) and stacked cyclic delay diversity (SCDD) schemes that are suitable for integer multiplexing rates, the proposed HCDD scheme can achieve arbitrary non-integer multiplexing rates. Our results demonstrate that the HCDD scheme can provide flexibility in selecting the required number of transmitting antennas and in adjusting diversity and multiplexing gains to match various users requirements. The advantages of the proposed HCDD, including the flexible rate assignment and less complex receivers, are presented in applications of scalable video broadcasting (SVB).

This work presents a technology for packaging AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) on a Si substrate. The GaN HEMTs are attached to a V-groove copper base and mounted on a TO-3P leadframe. The various thermal paths from the GaN gate junction to the case are carried out for heat dissipation by spreading to protective coating; transferring through the bond wires; spreading in the lateral device structure through the adhesive layer, and vertical heat spreading of silicon chip bottom. Thermal characterization showed a thermal resistance of 13.72 degrees C/W from the device to the TO-3P package. Experimental tests of a 30 mm gate-periphery single chip packaged in a 5 x 3 mm V-groove Cu base with a 100 V drain bias showed power dissipation of 22 W. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

This study compared performance on boron rejection in seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) membrane filtration in a high pressure cross-flow cell. Real seawaters were sampled at the north, east and south coast of Taiwan and the intake ports of SWRO plants in Penghu and Matsu islands. Four types of flat-sheet RO membranes (SG from GE Osmonics and UTC80, UTC80A, and UTC80S from Toray Industries) were tested. Permeate flux, feed flow rate and boron concentrations at room temperature were recorded over testing time. The UTC-series membranes have better performance on both boron and sodium rejection than SG membrane at all tested pH's. Test data sets were available for the first time using SWRO membrane for boron rejection from seawaters in Taiwan. (c) 2012 Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Power gating is effective for reducing standby leakage power asmulti-thresholdCMOS(MTCMOS) designs have become popular in the industry. However, a large inrush current and dynamic IR drop may occur when a circuit domain is powered up with MTCMOS switches. This could in turn lead to improper circuit operation. We propose a novel framework for generating a proper power-up sequence of the switches to control the inrush current of a power-gated domain while minimizing the power-up time and reducing the dynamic IR drop of the active domains. We also propose a configurable domino-delay circuit for implementing the sequence. Experimental results based on state-of-the-art industrial designs demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework in limiting the inrush current, minimizing the power-up time, and reducing the dynamic IR drop. Results further confirm the efficiency of the framework in handling large-scale designs with more than 80 K power switches and 100 M transistors.

The author investigated whether interpersonal cognition mediated the relationships between defense, social sensitivity, and ego development. Participants (N = 616; M age = 15.66 years, SD = .52 year; 276 boys) from northwestern Taiwan completed a battery of questionnaires. Structural equation modeling and mediation analyses supported the hypothesis that interpersonal cognition would mediate the path between defense and ego development, and the path between social sensitivity and ego development. Defense and social sensitivity were found to have direct effects on ego development. The study provides evidence of the mediating effect of interpersonal cognition on the association between personality and ego development.

Routing for high-speed boards is still achieved manually today. There have recently been some related works to solve this problem; however, a more practical problem has not been addressed. Usually, the packages or components are designed with or without the requirement from board designers, and the boundary pins are usually fixed or advised to follow when the board design starts. In this paper, we describe this fixed ordering boundary pin routing problem, and propose a practical approach to solve it. Not only do we provide a way to address, we also further plan the wires in a better way to preserve the precious routing resources in the limited number of layers on the board, and to effectively deal with obstacles. Our approach has different features compared with the conventional shortest-path-based routing paradigm. In addition, we consider length-matching requirements and wire shape resemblance for high-speed signal routes on board. Our results show that we can utilize routing resources very carefully, and can account for the resemblance of nets in the presence of the obstacles. Our approach is workable for board buses as well.

IL28B genotypes have a strong impact on treatment outcomes of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and on-treatment viral kinetics. Since metabolic regulation and interferon response are highly integrated, metabolic profiles may play an important role in the link between IL28B genotypes and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Thus, the association of IL28B rs8099917 genotypes with metabolic profiles and the impact of metabolic profiles on hepatitis C viral kinetic parameters were examined. A case-control analysis including 278 CHC patients and 280 subjects without chronic HCV infection was performed. The associations of IL28B rs8099917 genotype with pretreatment metabolic profiles and early viral kinetic parameters were evaluated. Compared to HCV genotype 1 patients, the differences in metabolic profiles were more significant in genotype 2 patients. HCV genotype 2 patients with TT genotype had higher serum total cholesterol and high density lipoprotein (HDL) levels than those with GT genotype, and the differences remained significant when adjusted for age, sex, and body mass index (p = 0.005 for total cholesterol; p = 0.006 for HDL). In addition, patients with higher serum TG, higher fasting blood glucose, and lower HDL had a lower viral clearance rate. IL28B genotypes may affect lipid profiles of CHC patients, especially in HCV-genotype 2 patients. Patients with higher serum fasting blood glucose, triglyceride, and lower HDL have a lower viral clearance rate during pegylated interferon plus ribavirin therapy.
