Thirty-five species of chaetognaths belonging to fourteen genera and four families were identified in the waters of southwestern Taiwan from July 2009 to April 2010. In surface tows, thirty-five species of chaetognaths belonging to fourteen genera and four families were found, with mean abundance of 2911 ¡Ó 586 ind./ 100m3; in oblique tows, thirty species of chaetognaths belonging to fourteen genera and four families were identified, with mean abundance of 3180 ¡Ó 532 ind./ 100m3. The five predominant species were Flaccisagitta enflata, Aidanosagitta regularis, A. neglecta, A. delicate and Serratosagitta pacifica, together they constituted 72 % of the total catch. The hydrographic conditions in the waters southwestern Taiwan were affected by seasonal monsoons and water masses. Higher temperature, lower salinity, and higher nutrient concentration were found in summer, and lower temperature, higher salinity, and lower nutrient concentration in winter. Generally higher abundance of chaetognath was found in summer and in inshore waters, and lower in spring and in offshore waters. Furthermore, the abundance of chaetognath showed significantly positive correlation with copepods, but no significant correlation with temperature and salinity. The predominant chaetognaths were mostly stage I (47 ~ 89 %), adult stage(>stage III) was mainly found in April. The average body lengths (ABL) of Fl. enflata, A. regularis, A. delicate and Se. pacifica were larger in spring than in summer, while the ABL of A. neglecta exhibited larger in winter than in summer and autumn. This study implies that the distribution of weight mean stage (WMS) and ABL of chaetognath were likely influenced by the water masses, because the ABL of Fl. enflata and WMS of Se. pacifica were larger in high salinity waters, furthermore, this study found that the seasonal moonsons and the succession of water masses maybe played important factors in the distribution patterns of chaetognaths.

A structural model of the central and southern Western Foothills Fold and Thrust Belt (WFFTB) was constructed from serial balanced cross sections. The cross sections are constrained by published surface and subsurface geologic data and thermochronological data. The regional detachment zone is constrained by thrust focal mechanisms to a depth of 10-15 km. Because the current geometries observed within the WFFTB are influenced by the presence of pre-existing normal faults, the WFFTB overall is an inverted basin. Most of the faults of the Western Foothills started their activity before the deposition of the Cholan Fm (~3.5 Ma). There is not a strict forward-breaking thrust sequence in Taiwan. Out-of-sequence faulting may be due to localized erosion and fault inversion. A new regional structure, the sub-Yuching anticline, is identified in the southern WFFTB. The sub-Yuching anticline is a low ramp angle fault-bend-fold with a detachment at ~13 km. The sub-Yuching anticline explains the uplift of the Yuching and Tingpinglin synclines above their regional level and may lie above the continuation of the Manila trench beneath Taiwan. The estimated aggregate shortening for the easternmost fault of the WFFTB is about 40 km on the central and southern segments. The restored position of the preexisting normal faults places the current trace of the Western Foothills-Slate Belt boundary beneath the Coastal Range. The restoration of WFFTB’s rocks to their depositional locations also supports the tectonic model of a crustal-scale thin-skin collisional orogen and rejects a previous hypotheses favoring a deep rooted Central Range.

This study is aimed to investigate the species composition and seasonal distribution of siphonophores in relation to water temperature and salinity in the coastal waters, southwestern Taiwan, from June 2001 to October 2002. In total, 39 siphonophoran species belonging to 17 genera and 5 families were identified, with the mean total abundance of 5301¡Ó8525 ind./100m3. The numerical abundance of siphonophores showed apparent seasonal change, higher in spring and autumn and lower in winter. The five most dominant species were Chelophyes contorta, Lensia subtiloides, Sulculeolaria chuni, Bassia bassensis and Diphyes bojani, and contributed to 80.2% of the total abundance of siphonophores. The mean abundance and species number of siphonophores were higher in surface water than in 0~100m oblique tow. The siphonophores found in the present study mostly belonged to the widespread oceanic species or widespread coastal species, and the dominant species were similar to those in the South China Sea. The dominant siphonophoran species exhibited apparently seasonal succession. Different dominant species showed different seasonal distribution patterns and percentage composition of sexual and asexual generations in total population. The total abundance of siphonophore showed significant (p>0.05) correlation with water salinity, but not temperature. The abundance of Chelophyes contorta, Lensia subtiloides, Abylopsis eschscholtzi and Diphyes chamissonis were significantly correlated to water temperature, but the abundance of Sulculeolaria chuni and Abylopsis tetragona showed significantly negative correlations with temperature. The abundance of Chelophyes contorta, Lensia subtiloides and Abylopsis eschscholtzi were significantly negatively correlated to salinity, but Sulculeolaria chuni showed significantly positive correlation with salinity.

The species composition, temporal and spatial distribution of siphonophores in relation to hydrographic variables in the waters off eastern Taiwan were examined during the period from May 2000 to July 2001. In total, 54 siphonophoran species belonging to 21 genera and 6 families were identified, with the mean abundance of 284 ¡Ó 18 inds. /1000m3. The numerical abundance of siphonophores showed an apparent seasonal change, higher in autumn and lower in winter and summer. The six most dominant species were Chelophyes contorta, Abylopsis tetragona, Bassia bassensis, A. eschscholtz, Eudoxoides mitra and Diphyes chamissonisi, and together they contributed to 75.1 % of the numerical total of siphonophores. The mean abundance, but not for species number, of siphonophores was significantly higher in Kuroshio waters than in coastal waters. Most siphonophores found in this study were belonged to the widespread oceanic species, and the dominant species composition was similar to those in the northern South China Sea. The dominant siphonophoran species exhibited apparent seasonal succession. Different dominant species, as well as their ratio of sexual and asexual generations, showed different seasonal distribution patterns. The total abundance of siphonophores was not significantly correlated to water temperature and salinity. The abundance of the six most dominant species showed different correlations with water temperature and salinity. The abundance of C. contorta showed significant positive correlation with water temperature, but negative correlation with water salinity. The abundance of B. bassensis showed significant negative correlation with water temperature, but positive correlation with water salinity. The abundance of E. mitra showed significant negative correlation with water salinity. The others were not significantly correlated to water temperature and salinity.

This study investigated the seasonal and spatial distribution in species composition and numerical abundance of siphonophores in relation to environmental factors in the surrounding waters of Taiwan in February (winter) and May (spring) 2003 and August (summer) 2004. In total, 75 species belonging to 30 genera and 9 families were indentified, with the mean abundance of 387 ¡Ó 97 inds./100m3. The abundance of siphonophores showed clear seasonal change, higher in summer and winter, but lower in spring. The eight most dominant species were Lensia subtiloides, Chelophyes contorta, Muggiaea atlantica, Diphyes chamissonis, Bassia bassensis, C. appediculata, Abylopsis eschscholtzi and D. bojani, which together constituted 78¢H of the total siphonophores. Siphonophores showed higher abundance in the waters of northwestern Taiwan, while the species number and diversity were higher in the waters of eastern and southern Taiwan. Different dominant species showed different distribution patterns, and most species were dominated by sexual generation. The siphonopores assemblages exhibited apparent seasonal variations and were associated with water masses. The siphonophores found in this study mostly belong to the widespread oceanic and coastal species, and the composition of dominant species was similar to the previous studies in the northern South China Sea. The abundance of siphonophores showed significant negative correlation with salinity, while species richness and diversity were positive. Different predominant siphonophore species showed different correlationships with environmental factors; Muggiaea atlantica showed significant negative correlation with temperature, but Bassia bassnsis and Abylopsis eschscholtzi showed significant positive correlation with temperature. Most siphonophores were significantly and negatively correlated with salinity.

Work performance researches in the past ten years have been numerously conducted in Taiwan. Most of researchers use International benchmarking performance measurement with or without modifications. . Only few develop their own measurement based on the needs of Taiwan business organizations. My project focuses on the rebuild of performance evaluation program in the light of the employees in Taiwan enterprises considering the national conditions, culture, credibility and efficiency. This paper has studied the theories of Campbell(1990) and Borman & Motowidlo(1993) and developed a job performance evaluation form suitable for employees in Taiwan. A total number of 3000 copies of survey questionnaires were sent out. Out of this, 2779 were returned, representing a remarkable return rate of 92.63%. My performance evaluation matrix presents as below: 1. Task performance: Task performance involves official responsibility or the proficient of "technical core" of the activities in formal jobs and duties. Including 9 items. 2. Contextual performance: Contextual performance involves activities maintaining the environment that needs to exist to allow the technical core to operate. Contextual performance are activities such as: " Helping and cooperating with others. Following organizational rules and procedures even when personally inconvenient. Endorsing, supporting and defending organizational objectives." Including 9 items. 3. Job Positive: Job Positive involves measurement of positive personality, attitude and psychological environment of jobs and duties. Job Positive are activities such as: "Volunteering to carry out task activities that are not formally part of the job. Looking for a challenging assignment. Tackling a difficult work assignment enthusiastically and Voluntarily doing more than the job requires to help others or contribute to unit effectiveness." Including 4 items. Key words: Job Performance, Taiwan, Employee.
