柳永詞析賞擧例

王久烈 단국대학교 중어중문학과 1982 中國文學報 Vol.- No.5

柳永是北宋傑出的詞家, 可惜的是宋史裡沒有他的傳。 我們覺得一個優秀的作家, 不應該不爲他立傳 ; 而不爲他立傳, 使我們對柳永的生平難以確切地明瞭, 甚至連他的「名字」也都有了問題。我們從一些個人的著作和地方志裡所拔到的資料中, 有關他的「名子」·「籍貫」·「生卒年月」, 以及「登第年代」, 都衆說不一。 惟根據各項資料硏判, 我們得到的結論是 : 一. 柳永字耆卿, 初名三變字景莊。 二. 崇安人。 三. 生年約在宋太宗雍熙元年(西元九八四)至端拱元年(西元九八八)之間 ; 卒年約在宋仁宗皇祐末年(西元一○五三)。 四. 登第年代約爲宋仁宗景祐元年(西元一○三四)。

Reconsidering cell-assisted lipotransfer for breast augmentation: effect of stromal vascular fraction enrichment on graft survival assessed with 3-dimensional laser scanning

Li-Chen Chiu,Li-Shu Chiu,Cheng-Hung Chiu 대한미용의학회 2019 대한미용의학회지 Vol.3 No.1

Background: Cell-assisted lipotransfer (CAL) has been proposed to be beneficial for improving graft retention. Clinically, CAL involves the isolation of the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) from a portion of the lipoaspirate at the time of surgery. However, most studies related to SVF breast augmentation lacked a rigorous methodology and well-designed control. Objective: We aimed to determine the potential improvement of SVF enrichment in fat grafting for breast augmentation with objective volume assessment. Methods: From April 2015 to January 2016, 169 patients were enrolled after applying the exclusion criteria. Among them, 97 patients who underwent conventional fat grafting for breast augmentation were assigned to group A. The other 72 patients underwent SVFenriched fat grafting for breast augmentation and were assigned to group B. A retrospective comparative study was conducted to evaluate the graft survival using 3-dimensional laser scanning. Results: There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in terms of mean age, original breast volume, grafted fat volume, and postoperative weight change. Breast volume assessments revealed that the percentage of graft survival at 12 months was 69.2% in group A and 71.1% in group B, with no significant difference (p=0.641). The preoperative body mass index was significantly lower in group A than in group B. The volume of suctioned fat was significantly less in group A. The operation time was significantly shorter in group A. The postoperative complication rates were significantly lower in group A than in group B. Conclusion: SVF-enriched fat grafting for breast augmentation was associated with a larger amount of harvested fat, a longer operation time, and a higher incidence of complications. The graft retention rate was not significantly increased. The findings of our study do not support the use of SVF in fat grafting for breast augmentation. Level of Evidence: IV

YiJui Chiu,Xiao-Yun Li,Yi-Cheng Chen,Sheng-Rui Jian,Chia-Hao Yang,I-Hsiang Lin 대한기계학회 2017 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.31 No.11

This paper improved and developed Shaft-disk-blade (SDB) rotor system based on the previous studies of the authors in the last decade from Yang and Huang (2005) to Chiu et al. (2017). This paper also explored blade-bending, disk-transverse, and shaft-torsion coupling vibration of a multi flexible disk rotor system. Unlike the previous studies of the authors, this paper adopted three methods: (a) Assumed mode method (AMM), (b) Finite element method (FEM), and (c) experimental method. The first approach is the main method, and the two other methods are complementary. Results generated from the three methods were then compared and analyzed. Based on the previous definition of the authors, a flexible disk rotor system displays three types of coupling vibrations: Inter-blade, SDB, and diskblade modes. The system changes the rules of natural frequencies and mode shapes. This paper presents several interesting results. First, the author determined the change rules of the mode shapes and natural frequencies using the AMM, FEM (including three kinds of software), and the experimental method. Second, numerical calculation results also revealed that two phenomena regarding the distance of disk and flexible disk would be affected by the natural frequencies. Third, the experimental results would be explored in this paper. Last, the flexible disk could affect the system instability in the case study of rotation effects.

A Robust Estimation/Compensation Scheme of IQ Imbalance with Frequency Offset in Communication Receivers

Yi-Jen Chiu,Szu-Lin Su,Shao-Ping Hung 대한전자공학회 2007 ITC-CSCC :International Technical Conference on Ci Vol.2007 No.7

Direct conversion receiver is widely utilized in today’s communication system. However, it usually faces a common problem of front-end distortions such as IQ imbalance and frequency offset. When treated separately, effective algorithms exist for estimating and compensating for IQ imbalance as well as frequency offset. With both effects present, such algorithms do not lead to useful estimates of the related parameters. OFDM is sensitive to nonidealities in the receiver front-end. This leads either to stringent front-end specifications and, thus, an expensive device, or large performance degradations. A good summary, Guanbin [1] discusses the transmitter calibration briefly and proposes an estimation technique for calculating the imbalance parameters. For the IEEE 802.11a OFDM standard, Tubbax observe that additional effects from OFDM channel estimation and correction can affect the IQ correction circuits and proposes a smoothing procedure to compensate. The above procedure is not effective when the CFO is too small. This paper extends the previous results mentioned above by developing a simple and adaptive least-square (LS) algorithm to estimate and compensate for IQ imbalance assuming the IQ imbalance compensation is not affected by the CFO, then the CFO is estimated using any of several conventional algorithms. With the additional requirement of a known periodic training sequence (see Su and Chiu ) this process extends the results of to practical cases when CFO is small. Our compensation scheme eliminates the IQ imbalance based on one OFDM symbol and performs well in the presence of CFO. The compensation scheme has fast convergence and small residual degradations. The solution is implemented with an adaptive filter to adjust the parameters of estimation and is computationally relatively inexpensive. With the proposed method as shown in Fig. 1, we can estimate the effect of IQ imbalance without knowing CFO exactly by means of an repetitive training sequence as depicted in Fig.2. Two set of I/Q mismatch parameters, (εr=1.5㏈, ?φr=1.5˚) and (εr=3㏈, ?φr=3˚), are used in the simulations. Fig. 3 shows the performance comparison between the systems with and without I/Q imbalance compensation. It shows that the proposed algorithm can give a satisfactory performance for CFO > 5㎑. To reduce the drawback of high sensitivity under low CFO channel, we modify the adaptive scheme and the fine IQ estimation method to solve the problem of performance degradation when CFO is small. Therefore, our IQ imbalance estimation/compensation scheme potentially leads to low-cost and low-complexity receivers. The simulation results show that the modified scheme can achieve much better performance as shown in Fig. 4.

Using Balanced Scorecard to Explore Learning Performance of Enterprise Organization

Chiu, Chung-Ching,Tsai, Chih-Hung,Chung, Yi-Chan The Korean Society for Quality Management 2007 The Asian Journal on Quality Vol.8 No.1

In the early industrial age which with high intensity of machine and labor, using financial measurement index was good enough to tie in company's mechanization and philosophy of management and been in efficiency. But being comply with "New Economic age," a new economic environment is full of knowledge and information, the enterprise competition had changed from tangible assets, plants to intangible innovation ability of knowledge. As recognizing the new tendency by enterprise, they value gradually the growth and influence from learning. Practice of organization learning not only needs firm structure and be in coordination with both hardware and software, but also needs an affect measurement model to offer enterprise to estimate learning performance. It's a good instrument of financial performance measure mold in the past years, But it's for measuring the past, couldn't formulate enterprise trend to future, hard to estimate investment for future, such as development of products, organization learning, knowledge management etc, as which intangible assets and knowledge ability just the key factors of being win around competition environment in the future. In 1992, Kaplan and Norton brought up Balance Scorecard (BSC) on Harvard Business Review, as an instrument helping enterprise to measure performance, which is being considered to be a most influence management instrument. It added non-financial index such as customer, internal process and learning growth besides traditional financial index, as offering enterprise an index to measure and manage intangible assets and intellectual property. As being aware of organization learning is hard to be ignored in the new economic age, this research is based on learning and growth of BSC, and citing one national material company try to let the most difficult measurement performance of organization learning, to be estimate through BSC, analyze of factor and individual case, to discuss the company how to make the related strategy and vision of organization learning to develop learning and growth of the structure of BSC, subject the matter of out put factors to be discussed, and measure the outcomes as a result of research. The research affect offers (1) the base implement procedure of carrying out BSC; (2) the reference of formulating measurement index while enterprise using BSC to estimate performance of organization learning; (3) the possibility bottleneck maybe forcing while carrying out BSC, to be an improvement or preventive for enterprise.
