[00:00:32] kingdom, with over 300 species of butterflies.
[00:00:36] Among them, the Taiwan Saint Butterfly was originally considered a subspecies of the Sanwen Saint Butterfly,
[00:00:39] until the invasion of alien species. After academic circles conducted an investigation,
[00:00:43] it was accidentally discovered that it is actually a species unique to Taiwan,
[00:00:47] and thus it was proven. However, in recent years, the research team
[00:00:51] conducted a butterfly survey on Yangming Mountain, but found that the endemic species,
[00:00:55] the Taiwan Upper Butterfly, has already been replaced by alien species, which made
[00:00:58] the research team feel very shocked. Taiwan
[00:01:02] has the reputation of being a butterfly kingdom, with over 300 species of butterflies, as well as over
[00:01:06] 60 unique species, adding many beautiful colors to Taiwan's
[00:01:16] The coffee-colored butterfly's wings have bright yellow stripes.
[00:01:20] This is a Taiwanese endemic species called Taiwan Saint Butterfly. This
[00:01:24] part, the color is relatively dark, and the lines are relatively
[00:01:27] thin. This is the bear butterfly.
[00:01:30] And here,
[00:01:32] the body shape is slightly larger, and the overall color is lighter, and the lines are thicker. This is the Cisi.
[00:01:40] The story behind the Taiwan Saint Butterfly being proven in 2023 is quite remarkable.
[00:01:45] Before it was designated as an endemic species, it was considered a subspecies of the Sanwen Saint Butterfly,
[00:01:48] commonly known as the Yellow Three-striped Butterfly, that inhabited Taiwan. However, in 2004, Taiwanese experts discovered a butterfly that was very similar to the native Taiwanese subspecies, but also had
[00:01:59] different characteristics. After DNA investigation, it was confirmed to be
[00:02:03] an alien species from mainland Asia, the Sanwen Saint Butterfly. It was originally
[00:02:06] believed that Taiwan had a species
[00:02:10] that was a subspecies of the Sanwen Saint Butterfly.
[00:02:14] And then the Saint Butterfly's
[00:02:18] geographical distribution extends from India all the way to the entire Eastern Ocean region,
[00:02:21] including Taiwan.
[00:02:24] 。
[00:02:44] If an invasive species belongs to the same species as the native species, scientists will worry about the lack of reproductive isolation between the two, leading to genetic leakage, which contaminates the gene pool of the native species
[00:02:48] and ultimately causes the disappearance of original traits. However,
[00:02:52] after the alien species Sanwen Saint Butterfly invaded Taiwan, it was found that
[00:02:56] it did not hybridize with native Taiwanese butterflies. The research team.
[00:03:30] The Taiwan Saint Butterfly and the alien species Sanwen Butterfly, their appearance shows
[00:03:34] differences in wing tails. From the back, the yellow stripes of the Taiwan Saint Butterfly are
[00:03:37] thinner, and the first stripe on the wing is broken, while the stripes of the Sanwen
[00:03:41] Saint Butterfly are continuous and unbroken. If you observe the underside
[00:03:45] of the butterfly, you will find that both species have special X-shaped patterns. The
[00:03:49] lower half of the X-shape of the Taiwan Saint Butterfly forms a continuous arc, while the Sanwen
[00:03:53] Saint Butterfly's X-shape is staggered and discontinuous. In addition to some slight
[00:03:57] differences in the appearance of the adult insects, their habits also differ. The Taiwan Saint
[00:04:00] Butterfly lays eggs singly, usually only one egg or one
[00:04:04] larva will be seen, while the Sanwen Saint Butterfly lays eggs in clusters, where dozens of eggs
[00:04:17] but we found that alien species are more aggressive. They can eat plants that
[00:04:20] Taiwan doesn't eat, such as Boehmeria nivea, such as ramie.
[00:04:24] They, the Taiwanese ones, will eat them, and they will
[00:04:28] also eat them, but there's a kind called.
[00:04:30] Another concern caused by invasive species.
[00:05:44] In a book published by Yangmingshan National Park in 1994,
[00:05:47] it introduced the Yellow Three-striped Butterfly, which had not yet been designated as an endemic species at the time,
[00:05:51] as a common butterfly in the original area. Now it can no longer be seen.
[00:05:55] I don't really think that alien species will completely wipe out
[00:05:59] our native species. But it might cause their population
[00:06:02] to be compressed. For example, Yangmingshan
[00:06:06] no longer has them, they have been replaced. Other parts of the region may
[00:06:09] also be replaced by them. The Taiwan Saint Butterfly
[00:06:13] likes to live in natural environments that are well-maintained and undisturbed.
[00:06:16] Only by strengthening environmental protection can Taiwan's butterflies
[00:06:20] continue to flutter
[00:06:27] team from National Taiwan Ocean University. They found medical application potential
[00:06:31] from the new species of Taiwanese algae they discovered. After extracting
[00:06:35] the highly abundant phycoerythrin from the Taiwanese algae, it can be
[00:06:38] used for applications such as immunofluorescence labeling, achieving effective results.
[00:10:12] B2 cultivation technology allows algae to achieve more efficient and stable
[00:10:16] growth. In addition to increasing the yield of red fluorescent protein,
[00:10:20] it can also utilize Taiwanese algae, which has about 20% higher
[00:10:24] protein content than other algae species.
[00:10:34] Can massaging the face and neck effectively prevent the onset of dementia?
[00:10:38] Recent research has found that metabolic waste in the brain
[00:10:41] is cleared by cerebrospinal fluid, and cerebrospinal fluid can
[00:10:45] be drained from the superficial lymphatics of the face and neck.
[00:10:49] Therefore, massaging the face and neck in daily life can help
[00:10:53] clear metabolic waste from the brain.
[00:12:03] That is, the cerebrospinal fluid can be drained from the superficial lymphatics of the face and neck. Therefore, research indicates that simply massaging the face and neck for 5 minutes at a low intensity will double the amount of cerebrospinal fluid
[00:12:07] drained. In addition, the lymphatic channels for cerebrospinal fluid also include the hard palate where the maxilla
[00:12:10] and teeth are located. Experts speculate that daily chewing, talking, and swallowing
[00:12:51] PM2.5 can also affect .
[00:16:44] Waking up intermittently? This may be related to air quality. Professor Chuang Hsiao-Chi of the Department of Respiratory Therapy at Taipei Medical University found in her research that if
[00:16:47] PM2.5, every unit increase
[00:16:50] will significantly increase the number of awakenings during sleep and the proportion of light sleep,
[00:16:54] especially in seasons with lower temperatures and lower humidity,
[00:17:05] and haven't fallen asleep deeply.
[00:17:08] And waking up for no reason, it might not be because of drinking coffee or playing with your phone. The
[00:17:11] key lies in the air you breathe in.
[00:17:25] In fact, previous animal experiments have shown that PM2.5 fine particulate matter
[00:17:29] can reduce the ability of brain nerve cells to release electrical signals, affecting the brain's
[00:17:33] ability to maintain a normal sleep cycle. Now, Taipei Medical University's Respiratory
[00:17:37] Therapy.
[00:17:45] Every unit increase in PM2.5 will significantly increase the number of awakenings
[00:17:48] during sleep and the proportion of light sleep. This effect is particularly pronounced
[00:17:52] during seasons with lower temperatures
[00:18:03] 。
[00:18:37] A recent spot check of some children's toys found that half of the products' phthalate
[00:18:41] plasticizer levels seriously exceeded the standard, with the highest
[00:18:45] exceeding the standard by as much as 509 times. Children's
[00:18:48] long-term exposure to these plasticizers may increase the risk of
[00:18:52] precocious puberty, asthma, and allergies.
[00:18:55] And it's so
[00:19:06] of it.
[00:20:50] Mosquito repellent sprays, mosquito repellent lotions, mosquito coils, all deployed.
[00:20:54] hear the noise of the mosquito, i
[00:20:58] feel um scared. Gabriel suffered from dengue fever, with body aches and headaches, and almost died. For children, a new American invention is expected to take mosquito control to the next level.
[00:21:13] direct and artificial intelligence algorithm to identify the anatomical
[00:21:16] components as well as the species of the mosquito and that. information
[00:21:20] is then shared with the user and so we can get a sense of what mosquitoes are in a
[00:21:24] specific area remotely. The mosquito trap is equipped with a camera and, most importantly, an AI-powered mosquito identification system that scrutinizes every detail of the mosquito's body for quick identification of invasive species.
[00:21:41] given advancements in ai, we decided that we can come up with the smart AI
[00:21:45] enable mosquito traps, whether it's zika, malaria, dengue etc.
[00:21:49] The AI
[00:21:55] costs less than 150 US dollars, or about 4500 New Taiwan Dollars, and can be widely distributed and applied to help countries around the world strengthen their monitoring systems and combat diseases
[00:21:59] caused by mosquito-borne transmission.
[00:24:37] nitrate plus sugar. Because the chemical reaction after sugar ignition produces
[00:24:41] gas, it can convert rotational energy into
[00:24:45] solid fuel to propel the rocket,
[00:24:49] sending the rocket into the sky. However, although this experiment
[00:24:53] is very interesting, there are certain dangers involved,
[00:24:56] so it must be operated under the guidance of professionals.
[00:25:10] a large amount of white smoke before rapidly launching and soaring tens of meters into the sky.
[00:25:14] This is a sugar rocket, a common entry-level experimental rocket
[00:25:18] for popular science education.
[00:26:02] Because it has an oxidizing effect, it is actually one of the main components
[00:26:06] of black powder. But it is often
[00:26:10] used in the processing of fertilizers.
[00:26:13] Rocket solid fuel is made by mixing approximately 65% potassium
[00:26:17] nitrate with 35% sugar, which has a lower ignition point.
[00:26:21] Then, some reddish-brown powder, iron oxide, is added as a
[00:26:25] catalyst. After mixing, an appropriate amount of the powder is poured onto an electric
[00:26:28] baking sheet. It melts evenly at a temperature
[00:26:32] below 10 degrees. KKNSKSB is used for lips. Its melting point is about 121 degrees Celsius, and its burning point is greater than 300 degrees Celsius. When used on a rocket, the maximum temperature during burning can reach over 1300 degrees Celsius. Yes, but because it is in flight,
[00:29:02] it is carried out under guidance.
[00:29:06] Today in the program, we saw National Taiwan Ocean University's leading
[00:29:10] position in algal technology innovation and application. From Taiwan's
[00:29:14] unique native algae, which has high-brightness silver
[00:29:17] light and low-carbon production advantages, it can be widely applied
[00:29:21] in cell observation imaging, medical diagnostics, biotechnology,
