The 1909 Taipei earthquake—implication for seismic hazard in Taipei

S U M M A R Y The 1909 April 14 Taiwan earthquake caused significant damage in Taipei. Most of the information on this earthquake available until now is from the written reports on its macro-seismic effects and from seismic station bulletins. In view of the importance of this event for assessing the shaking hazard in the present-day Taipei, we collected historical seismograms and station bullet...

Current scientific evidence for integrated community case management (iCCM) in Africa: Findings from the iCCM Evidence Symposium

In March 2014, over 400 individuals from 35 countries in sub-Saharan Africa and 59 international partner organizations gathered in Accra, Ghana for an integrated Community Case Management (iCCM) Evidence Review Symposium. The objective was 2-fold: first, to review the current state of the art of iCCM implementation and second, to assist African countries to integrate lessons learned and best pr...

Bergman Kernel, Deformation Quantization and Feynman Diagram Formulas

This expository article is an expanded version of the talk given by the author at the 2013 ICCM conference in Taipei. We report our recent work on explicit closed formulas of the asymptotic expansions of the Bergman kernel, and the relationship to deformation quantization on Kähler manifolds. These formulas are expressed as summations over strongly connected graphs.

Natural radiation background in metropolitan Taipei.

A high-pressure ionization chamber was used to measure the natural background radiation in metropolitan Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. during a period in 1987-1988. The average exposure rate was 27.55 x 10(-10) C kg-1 h-1 including cosmic radiation, but the radon contribution was excluded. Scintillation survey meter, gamma-ray spectroscopy for soil samples, in-situ measurement with a NaI(Tl) detector c...
