In modern times the increasing complexity of transistors and their constant decreasingsize require more effective techniques to display and interpret the processes that are inside of devices. In this work, we are modeling a two‐dimensional n‐MOSFET with a long channeland uniformly doped substrate. We assume that this device is a large geometry device so that short‐channel and narrow‐width effects can be neglected. As a result of the thesis, a demonstration program was built. In this executable file, the user can choose parameters of the MOSFET‐model: drain and gate voltage, and different geometrical parameters of the device (junction depth and effective channel length). In the advanced regime of the program, the user can also specify the model re‐calculation parameter, doping concentration in n+ and bulk regions. The program shows the channel between the source and drain region with surface diagrams of carrier density and potential energy as an output. It is possible to save all calculated results to a file and process it in any other program, for example, plot graphics in Matlab or Matematica. The model can be used in lectures that are related to semiconductor physics in order to explain the basic working mechanisms of MOSFETs as well as for further detailed analysis of the processes in MOSFETs. It is possible to use our modeling techniques to rebuild the model in another computer language, or even to build other models of transistors, performing similar calculations and approximations. It is possible to download the executable file of the model here: http://studentdevelop.com/projects/MOSFET_model.zip

Taiwanese businesses assumed an important role in global supply chain after World War II. But numerous Taiwanese enterprises turn themselves into ODM-oriented ones for more profit because OEM only generates micro profit after companies from China and other developing countries have forged into this market since 1990s. The key to successful transformation lies in capability of independent design and development product. Therefore, developing and improving the capability of R&D talent is the priority to transformation into ODM-oriented company and critical for Taiwan to replay a major role in global supply chain. Therefore, based on competency, we adopted Fuzzy Delphi Method and Analytic Network Process (ANP) to design expert questionnaire and invited R&D experts in ODM-oriented companies to provide advice. The aim was to discover the necessary competencies of R&D employees and weight of each competency in order to construct a competency selection model for R&D employees in ODM-oriented companies and to serve as a reference point for more efficient selection and development of R&D workers. 1.Applying Fuzzy Delphi Method to find out critical competency indicators that is the source of constructing competency selection hierarchy. 2.Applying ANP which is characterized by analysis dependence on or feedback of each indicator to calculate the weight of each competency indicator and constuct a weighted competency selection model for R&D employees in ODM-oriented companies. 3.Confirming that dependence on or feedback of each indicator influences the weight of each indicator. 4.Proving that competency selection model for R&D employees effectively select qualified employees.

There¡¦s a great diversity of religions in Taiwan. Some religious art organizations like choruses have developed stably also. The management and concepts of these religious choruses are different from the others. In this study, the researcher will analyze the management of ¡§Bliss and Wisdom Praise Chorus,¡¨ which belongs to Taipei Buddhism Bliss and Wisdom Foundation, to investigate its uniqueness. Qualitative method is used in this study. Literature reviews about nonprofit organization and in-depth interview with Bliss and Wisdom Praise Chorus managers are two basic methods to collect data. They are analyzed with CORPS model and adjusted with experts¡¦ opinions through Delphi technique. The researcher, then, raises some suggestions according to these analyses. The conclusions of this study shows that: the key ¡¨Clients¡¨ of Bliss and Wisdom Praise Chorus are its followers; the Chorus ¡§Operates¡¨ as an amateur performing arts organization, and lacks for professional managers; the Chorus¡¦s ¡§Resources¡¨ mainly come from the donation of its followers; most of the ¡§Participants¡¨ are also the followers; their ¡§Services¡¨ can help them get close to religion by practicing sing and attract outsiders. This study suggests that Bliss and Wisdom Praise Chorus should enhance their marketing strategies, seek and keep talents, establish professional management system, stabilize human resources management, and increase affiliations with outsider.

The study aims to explore the core concepts and the curricular structure of the global education program for elementary and secondary schools, to develop a set of global education indicators, and to analyze the relationship between the global education indicators and the present indicators for the Grade 1-9 Curriculum Guidelines. Document analysis, Delphi technique, and content analysis are the methods employed in this research. The major research findings are: 1.The core concepts of global education for elementary and secondary schools are constituted by five domains, which are ¡§global system,¡¨ ¡§multiple cultures,¡¨ ¡§the human rights and justice,¡¨ ¡§world peace,¡¨ and ¡§sustainability.¡¨ Among them, global system contains the concepts of ¡§global connection¡¨ and ¡§interrelationship¡¨; multiple cultures includes ¡§appreciation of differences¡¨ and ¡§intercultural ability¡¨; the human rights and justice includes ¡§equity and justice¡¨ and ¡§right and responsibility¡¨; ¡§collaboration and negotiation ¡¨ and ¡§solution for conflict¡¨ are subsumed under the domain of world peace; and sustainability includes the concepts about ¡§global ecological system¡¨ and ¡§sustainable resources¡¨. 2.The global education indicators for elementary and secondary schools consists of five domains, including ¡§global system,¡¨ ¡§multiple cultures, ¡§the human rights and justice,¡¨ ¡§world peace,¡¨ and ¡§sustainability,¡¨ as well as 60 indicators. 3.In the Grade 1-9 Curriculum Guidelines, the indicators for Integrative Activities are closely linked with global education, whereas the indicators for Mathematics lack for the concepts of global education. Among the indicators of the seven learning areas, there are plenty of indicators which are related to multiple cultures, and the indicators related to the human rights and justice are the scarcest in number. Finally, according to the research results, the present authors would propose suggestions for the application of indicators for global education in elementary and secondary schools, for the present indicators for the Grade 1-9 Curriculum Guidelines, and for further investigation in the future. The suggestions can be taken as a reference for institutions, teachers, and researchers who participate in global education in Taiwan.

The trend of globalization makes the political, economic, educational, culture and creative develop very fast. It also because of the vitality of the network information pushes the global continuously. So society produces an idea of " think globally, act locally ". Base on this research background, Bill McKibben (2005) brings up an idea of Deep Economy. It means Continues forever the development in local place. The reference shows the relations among country, market and civil society in globalization. The cultural and creative industries development stimulates city competitiveness. Professor Kiyoshi Miyazakithinks that the integrated community construction must include people, cultural, place, production and view. These conditions makes local develop appreciation. How is the real aspects for Deep Economy? In this study, it uses the Delphi expert questionnaire method (Delphi) to investigate this problem. It is invited industry, government and school tripartite expertsto conduct interviews and questionnaires. These factorsare discussed in the two-stage indicators convergence results by score of experts. After aggregating data, it cansanalysis to construct the five principal components by exploratory factor analysis.These data shows that Deep Economy should have five faces which are "Local Empowerment", "Identity Participation","Knowledge Learning","Cultural Connotation" and ¡§Creative Economy". This study has well proposals for the future development for Deep Economy. Keywords¡G Deep Economy¡BGlobalization¡BCulture and Creative¡BDelphi¡BExploratory Factor Analysis

Identifying a research agenda and critical research activities is crucial for continuous development of Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs that meet the needs of students, industry, and society. Previous studies have expressed a need for relevant and focused research for the CTE profession. The primary purpose of this study was to identify consensus among CTE experts using a Delphi technique regarding problems, objectives, and activities that serve as a research agenda for CTE. The study panel was composed of experts from 25 states in the United States and represented 57 affiliations and organizations with direct ties to CTE. The Delphi process for this study was conducted in three rounds. Data were collected using the online survey collector, Survey Monkey™. The qualitative data were analyzed using the Affinity Diagram method of data analysis. At the conclusion of the data analysis from the Delphi rounds, the basic structure for the National CTE Research Agenda was developed. Rounds Four and Five served as validation rounds for the findings from the Delphi process. Data collection methods included online instruments using an internet-based survey tool. Data analysis revealed five research problem areas, 15 research objectives and 53 research activities which were organized into the National CTE Research Agenda structure. Findings from this study also revealed a CTE Research Agenda Logic Model which illustrated a systematic form of the research structure developed from this study. The National CTE Research Agenda is further defined in a color model which included the five research problem areas and 15 CTE research objectives identified in this study. At the conclusion of the validation rounds, the National CTE Research Agenda Logic Model was developed and the National CTE Research Agenda structure was accepted by the expert panel with a 97% acceptance rate. Based on the findings of this study, a sustained effort for research in CTE should be made by scholars in collaboration with national and international associations and organizations. The results of this study suggest a structure in which researchers should engage in focused and meaningful research in CTE. Future research is recommended to examine the issues identified by this expert panel.

The purpose of this study was to determine the inclusion and content of an international agricultural education course at the post-secondary level by answering the following research questions: What disciplines of agriculture should be included in an international agricultural education course at the university level?; What competencies (knowledge, skills, and abilities) in international agriculture are needed by students and should be developed in a course in international agricultural education at the university level?; and How should an international agricultural education class be used in multiple degree programs at the university level?. A three round Delphi procedure was used to solicit expert opinions regarding each of the research questions. The results revealed the most significant disciplines as: extension and education, philosophy, policy, models, program planning, public and private systems, & evaluation; role of agriculture in a developing nation?s economy; social, economic, political issues; and cross cultural communication. The competencies that should be developed identified by the panel were: skills working with other cultures; roles of change agents; environmental, developmental, conservation, sustainability, natural resources issues; extension models; understanding non-governmental organizations; knowledge of basic agriculture; ability to listen, plan and evaluate. The panel suggested the use of such a class in a multiple degree program should be a requirement for a minor in international agriculture. The study found that items not included among the panel consensus were items on practical or technical production practices. Further studies should be conducted to determine if the area of expertise of the panelists focused more on extension since they were in fact more familiar with extension techniques than any other areas, their experiences were based more on educational typology than practical and technical systems, or their placement in those professional positions did not allow them to focus on the skills and trades that were already known to flourish in their geographical region. One recommendation is to develop a more diverse panel of experts that cover more global territory to gain further insight into the research questions. A more diverse panel may bring more variation to the results. A deeper search into the background and identity of each panel member may also be necessary to discover the uniqueness of each expert in gaining diversified responses. If a professional in international agricultural education was in a non-native country and answered the instrumentation questions based on their work in that environment, that may be different than answering the questions based on their activity in a native country. Note: This student obtained a joint doctoral degree from Texas A&M University and Texas Tech University.

Since Taiwan joined the WTO (World Trade Organization), Taiwan¡¦s agriculture confronted with great challenges. Taiwan government plans for the fishery into three expanded directions. Those are traditional fishery, breed fishery, and recreation fishery. Recreational fishery offers a wide range of recreations, including pond angling, touring of the sea bottom, and various types of sport fishing such as trolling and angling. The ¡¥Blue High Way¡¦ is a kind of the recreation fisheries. The ¡¥Blue High Way¡¦ in Dan-shui is the first line across Taipei country, Ji-long, Yi-lan, and Hua-lian. This dissertation will discuss the sustainable development strategies for the Dan-shui blue high way. This dissertation uses the dominant-less dominant design method. The qualitative data will be taken as the main result, and the quantitative data will be an auxiliary to the main result. The qualitative data were be collected by visiting government official, blue high way businessmen, residenters, and sightseers. The quantitative data derived from mail questionnaire that use the Delphi Method.
