【Partners in HADR: Awareness – Resilience – Action】
U.S. program alumni are doing great work in the area of resilience! In 2018, Dr. Alan Yang and the Taiwan-Asia Exchange Foundation were recipients of U.S. Department of States’ Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF). Their project “Building Resilient Communities in Asia” successfully demonstrated that Taiwan can play a leading role in the field of humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HADR). They worked with the Meizhou Community Task Force in Yilan and community residents to enhance efforts in disaster prevention, demonstrating their ability to efficiently and effectively respond to typhoons and floods. They were also able to amplify the project through youth engagement on digital platforms. This resilience model now serves as a best practice for countries that face similar challenges. Check out this short video to learn more about their project and its lasting impact.

Nowadays the world faces many challenges that are transnational in nature. Building upon the robust U.S.-Taiwan cooperation in the Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) space, AIT’s “Partners in HADR: Awareness – Resilience – Action” campaign aims to raise public awareness and support activities that foster personal and community resilience within and beyond Taiwan.

#杏鮑菇大戰線蟲　🍄🐛

素食菇菇套餐中常見的杏鮑菇與秀珍菇竟然吃葷？


本院分子生物研究所薛雁冰助研究員帶領研究團隊發現「#杏鮑菇麻痺殺死線蟲」的秘密！研究成果近期也登上國際期刊《美國國家科學院院刊》（PNAS）。

💥大戰血腥片，慎入：https://reurl.cc/E7mON1

蠔菇、杏鮑菇等側耳屬（Pleurotus）真菌為相當常見的食用菇類，亦稱為食肉真菌。科學家發現在貧瘠環境中，這些菇類的菌絲會麻痺並殺死線蟲以獲取養份，但是對此快速麻痺機制所知甚少。所以，薛雁冰研究團隊利用模式生物 ——秀麗隱桿線蟲（Caenorhabditis elegans）來研究食用菇類麻痺線蟲的分子機制。團隊發現當線蟲碰到蠔菇的菌絲釋放的毒素時，線蟲肌肉裡的鈣離子濃度會異常的飆高，使得肌肉過度收縮而麻痺癱瘓。

除了上述提到的食用菇類之外，研究團隊亦發現「#線蟲捕捉菌（Nematode-trapping fungi, NTF）」，在環境養分不足的條件下可以感知到線蟲的存在，發育出具黏著力的 #陷阱（捕捉構造）來捕捉線蟲。研究團隊將一株產孢、生長能力與製造陷阱能力均突出的線蟲捕捉菌進行基因體定序解碼，以期深入研究線蟲捕捉菌捕捉線蟲的分子機制，並進一步發現，線蟲捕捉菌需要G蛋白的訊息傳遞才會產生捕捉構造，證明了G蛋白在線蟲捕捉菌的捕食行為中扮演重要角色。此次發現可望在未來發展出有效的生物防治方法，來防治危害農業的寄生性線蟲。

🍄Sensory cilia as the Achilles heel of nematodes when attacked by carnivorous mushrooms│
Oyster mushrooms, one of the most common edible fungi, prey on nematodes under starvation conditions. They produce potent toxins which paralyze the nematodes within minutes. Dr. Yen-Ping Hsueh’s group at Institute of Molecular Biology, Academia Sinica, use the model nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, to investigate how does mushroom paralyze and kill the nematodes. In their article titled “Sensory cilia as the Achilles heel of nematodes when attacked by carnivorous mushrooms” published in PNAS, they demonstrated that the contact of the fungal hyphae of oyster mushroom triggered massive calcium influx and rapid cell necrosis in the neuromuscular system of C. elegans via nematode’s sensory cilia.

เปิดตัว All-New 2020 Toyota Corolla Altis Sedan (โตโยต้า โคโรลล่า อัลติส ซีดาน) เวอร์ชั่นอเมริกา เฉพาะชาวอเมริกัน

CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA, Calif. (Nov. 15, 2018) -- With more than 46 million Toyota Corollas sold globally since its introduction in 1966, it would be difficult to find a driver who did not recognize the name. Everyone, it seems, has a Corolla story. Many, though are going to be doing double takes when they see the re-imagined and reconfigured 2020 Toyota Corolla sedan. And that’s exactly the point.

The 12th-generation Toyota Corolla made its arrival in two chapters: the all-new Corolla hatchback arrived earlier this year, and now comes the current best-selling Corolla body style, the sedan. Both are based on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA), which is far more than a new body structure, bringing together new approaches to engineering, design, assembly, and materials.

TNGA transforms both Corolla styles into drivers’ delights while also bolstering the model’s renowned value and reliability. Both draw from the same DNA and share powertrains. It’s no surprise, then, that the 2020 Corolla sedan dramatically elevates this model’s focus on comfort and refinement while also infusing it with the Corolla hatchback’s feisty personality.

The Corolla sedan’s bold new look is a perfect reflection of the bumper-to-bumper, wheels-to-roof transformation that has taken place. The TNGA platform means an available engine that produces more power than its predecessor yet delivers better fuel efficiency. TNGA imbues the Corolla sedan with greater agility, yet also with its smoothest, quietest ride. TNGA also means an elevated feeling of quality in every surface, switch and control the driver sees and touches. And, critically, TNGA delivers on Toyota’s commitment to driver and passenger safety with the Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 suite of active safety systems – standard on every Corolla sedan model.

Design Transformation
Toyota shook up the midsize sedan ranks with the new-generation Camry, and now the compact sedan segment is in for a jolt with the 2020 Corolla sedan. From every angle, the new Corolla sedan looks lower and leaner, tauter and tighter. Powerful fender flares and generously curved fender top surfaces accent its sculpted, athletic core.

The design team called its working concept “shooting robust,” because they were shooting for a robust, confidence-inspiring stance. Yet, they had to maintain ample space for practical, real-world use. That’s why people buy sedans, after all.

The 2020 Corolla sedan rides on a 106.3-inch wheelbase, like its predecessor, yet any commonality ends there. Corolla sedan’s dynamic performance and stance benefit greatly from wider front (+0.47 in.) and rear (+0.87 in.) track dimensions. The front overhang was shortened by 1.3 in., and the rear overhang extended by more than half an inch. Height was reduced 0.8 in., and the hood lowered 1.4 in. for better forward visibility, made possible by mounting the engine lower. Those changes, plus many others, reduce the center of gravity by 0.39 in. That’s just one part of the transformation that has turned the Corolla sedan into a highly nimble, engaging machine to drive.

The bold front fascia details vary by model grade, with the SE and XSE putting on the sportiest face, including a body-color chin spoiler and aero stabilizing fins to emphasize the wide stance. The slim, J-shaped Bi-Beam LED headlamps wrap deeply into the front fenders and give the Corolla sedan a steely stare and a distinct nighttime signature. The sporty SE and XSE grades use triple J-shaped clearance lamps with LED light guides along with LED turn signals, creating a unique design signature.

The available Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) provides a wider field of light and steers the low beam in the direction of the turn, based on steering angle and vehicle speed.

The rear leaves a distinct lighting impression as well, with narrow combination lamps that wrap deeply into the fenders. All 2020 Corolla sedan models use LEDs, the type and style varying by model grade. The sporty grades feature smoked outer light lenses.

What better way to showcase the Corolla sedan’s dramatic new sheet metal than with a dramatic new color? The new hue is a highly iridescent Celestite Grey Metallic. The rest of the palette includes Blizzard Pearl, Super White, Classic Silver Metallic, Black Sand Pearl, Barcelona Red, Blue Crush Metallic and Blueprint.

Dynamic, highly efficient and extremely comfortable: Audi presents the Audi Q8 concept at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) 2017. With this model the premium manufacturer is tapping into a new segment for the full-size class – an elegant alternative to the robust presence of a classic sport utility vehicle. The Q8 concept stands for maximum prestige. It combines the spaciousness typical of an SUV with the emotional lines of a coupe. Propulsion is provided by a powerful, yet highly efficient plug-in hybrid with 330 kW of system output and 700 Nm (516.3 lb-ft) of torque. The concept car is the basis for a production model that Audi will launch on the market in 2018.
At 5.02 meters (16.5 ft) long, the Audi Q8 concept is an impressive presence in the full-size class. Thanks to a wheelbase of three meters (9.8 ft), the show car offers plenty of space for passengers and luggage. Despite the sloping, coupe-like roofline, even the rear-seat passengers enjoy ample head and shoulder room. The control concept uses large touchscreens in the cockpit and is rounded out by an expanded version of the Audi virtual cockpit and a contact-analogue head-up display. The latter uses intelligent augmented reality technology that merges the real and the virtual worlds.
