Arrow of time and non-equilibrium thermodynamics
Chair: Pai-Yi HSAIO
Department of Engineering and System Science, National Tsing Hua University
Fluctuation Theorems: Thermodynamics at Nanoscale
The 2nd law of thermodynamics, which states a spontaneous evolution of an isolated system towards a state
of maximum entropy and hence defines the one-way direction of time’s arrow, has been an unchanging principle of nature since its first formulation in 1850s by Clausius. Nonetheless, breakthroughs in non-equilibrium
thermodynamics starting in 1990s reveal that this law is increasingly blurred as the system size becomes
smaller. Evans and Searles formulate a microscopic version of the 2nd law, called “fluctuation theorem”,
which is applicable to small systems outside the thermodynamic limit including those that evolve far from
equilibrium. It describes quantitatively thermodynamic irreversibility from time-reversible equation of motion.
Later, Crooks proposed another fluctuation theorem which relates the distribution of work, evaluated over nonequilibrium trajectories, to the change of equilibrium free energy. This theorem implies the famous Jarzynski’s
equality and provides a new way to treat thermodynamics at the scale of single molecules. In this introductory
talk, I will speak about recent progresses in fluctuation theorems and discuss challenges in non-equilibrium
thermodynamics. These new concepts are extraordinarily important in today’s nano-world, particularly in understanding and gaining information in biomolecular science and nanotechnology.
Speaker: Hong-Ren JIANG
Institute of Applied Mechanics, National Taiwan University
Direction of Time from Microscopic World
What is time from microscopic world? Can we define time or the direction of time from the motion of a single
particle? In this presentation, I want to start from some relatively simple physical systems, such as Brownian
motion, microfluidics, and phoretic transport, to discuss how the concept of time naturally occurs in such systems. I will try to discuss the relations between the direction of time and nonequilibrium thermodynamics. The
realization of Maxwell's Demon in the single particle level and micro-heat engine based on phoretic motion
of Janus particles will be discussed to illustrate the idea how the energy transfers in the microscopic world.

Recent Developments in Non-equilibrium Statistical Physics
A complex system maintained out of equilibrium through its interactions with the environment will usually
evolve to a non-equilibrium steady state with a non-vanishing macroscopic current (a metal conductor subject
to a driving field in its bulk, or to a difference of potentials between its boundaries, provides a simple example).
Due to the presence of this stationary current, time-reversal invariance is violated. This is a situation which
lies beyond the realm of traditional thermodynamics and the principles of equilibrium statistical mechanics
do not apply. There exists no fundamental theory or framework (a la Gibbs-Boltzmann) that would allow us
to predict the value of the current and of its fluctuations from first principles. Nevertheless, during the last
two decades, substantial progress has been made towards a statistical theory of non-equilibrium systems.
The aim of this lecture is to explain some remarkable recent results valid for sytems far from equilibrium: the
Work Identities (Jarzynski, Crooks) and the Fluctuation Theorem (Cohen, Evans, Gallavotti and Morriss), that
quantify transient violations of the second principle. These seminal results can be applied to various physical
situations and put the emphasis of some mathematical objects, the large deviation functions that are expected to play for systems out of equilibrium a role akin to that of thermodynamic potentials. We shall illustrate
these concepts with some simple systems such as the Brownian ratchet model for molecular motors and the
asymmetric exclusion process, which is considered today as the paradigm of non-equilibrium physics.

Disaster prevention/prediction
Chair: Kate Hui-Hsuan CHEN
Department of Earth Sciences, National Taiwan Normal University
Frontiers in Mitigation of Earthquake Induced Disasters
A thorough review of disaster losses issued by United Nations illustrates that direct losses from floods, earthquakes, and drought are in the range of $2.5 trillion. Awareness and improvement of natural hazard prevention, mitigation, and preparedness therefore, is necessary, to decrease a community’s vulnerability to natural
disasters. In this presentation a broad overview on the worst natural disasters over the past several decades
will be introduced. Haiti, Chile, and New Zealand all experienced major earthquakes in 2010, where the loss
of life and devastation in Haiti was much worse than other two countries, despite the smaller earthquake
magnitude. The differences among the three events will be compared and some social aspects that led to
the conditions in each country at the time of the earthquakes will be discussed as well. How do we improve
prevention of losses and how the scientists do, to better understand the generation mechanisms? I will focus
on some frontier research on earthquake disaster mitigation using real‐time seismic and GPS early warning,
and the most important scientific challenge that would have the potential to improve the early warning system.
Speaker: Chih-Ping LIN
Geo-Imaging and Geo-Nerve Laboratory, National Chiao Tung University
Geo-Nerve & Geo-Imaging for Natural Hazard Mitigation
Human body is born with a sophisticated nerve system, and seeing into the body is a state of practice by biomedical imaging. However, most infrastructures in our society, analogous to major organs in the human body,
do not have a health or early warning monitoring system. And seeing into the earth/structure is still a state of
the art. This talk introduces some recent efforts and projects in developing geo-nerve and geo-imaging techniques for monitoring and examination of infrastructure in the context of natural hazard mitigation.
The geo-nerve technique is realized by transmitting an electromagnetic pulse through a coaxial cable connected to a sensing waveguide and watching for reflections of this transmission due to changes in characteristic
impedance along the waveguide. Depending on the design of the waveguide and analysis method, the reflected signal can be used to “feel” various engineering parameters. Developments involved to adapt such a technique to various problems (e.g. landslide, bridge collapse, urban flooding, and reservoir sedimentation) are
introduced. The geo-imaging is achieved by geophysical prospecting using seismic wave, electrical current,
and radar. Some examples are given on how geo-imaging can be of value in hazard prevention. Difficulties
encountered in engineering scale and engineering environment will also be discussed.

Seismic hazards: what can we learn from geology?
The identification of active (and therefore seismogenic) faults and the knowledge of their kinematics is crucial
for seismic hazards assessment. Even though geological and seismological investigations have been conducted in several active areas in the world, recent examples of devastating earthquakes on faults not previously
recognized as being active illustrate how critical such lack of knowledge can be. The 1999 ChiChi (Taiwan)
and the 2008 Wenchuan (China) earthquakes are two such examples.
One of the main issues in properly conducting such geological investigations lies in the difficult integration of observations at different spatial and temporal scales. Geologists classically describe the geometry of
mountain belts, inherited from a history of millions years of deformation, through geological cross-sections.
However, from there, they are usually unable to indicate which faults are presently active and how much
deformation these faults presently accommodate. On the other hand, geodesists and seismologists can only
observe deformation over a limited time-window of years to decades using GPS and seismological data, even
though the recurrence times of major earthquakes are of 100s to 1000s years. Observations at time scales
of 1s to 10s kyr are therefore needed to bridge the gap between long-term and short-term processes. To
this respect, the observation of landscapes at these time scales provides crucial indices of active tectonics.
Indeed, geomorphological markers of active deformation, such as incised river terraces or disrupted fans, are
used to track faults that are presently active and to decipher their kinematics over several earthquake cycles.
The assessment of seismogenic faults in an active area can therefore only properly be conducted through the
integration of geological observations over different time scales. Then, for the actual purpose of mitigating
seismic hazards, the Earth sciences community needs to put further efforts in communicating this knowledge
to populations and to policy-makers.

Ecology, biodiversity and evolution
Chair: Franck COURCHAMP
Laboratory of Ecology, Systematic & Evolution CNRS – University of Paris Sud
Ecology is a fundamental and applied science aiming at understanding the interactions between living organisms and their environment. Living organisms are extremely diverse in form and function and the whole
spectrum of their diversity is commonly called biodiversity. Because individuals within a species display much
variability (genotypes and phenotypes) and ecosystems are made of individuals from up hundreds to thousands of species interacting together in space and time, the understanding of these interactions is extremely
complex. Biodiversity is not a static object of study, it is constantly evolving, the interactions with other elements of the system leading to an evolution towards different compositions and dynamics. The biodiversity
currently on Earth is a snapshot, the result of forces of evolution since the beginning of life, and it continues
to evolve, both qualitatively and quantitatively. In the context of current global environmental changes (climate
change, habitat destruction, biological invasions, pollutions), biodiversity is subject to new drivers of evolution and species must adapt or disappear. This provides scientists with novel challenges, turning a discipline
mostly based on attempts to understand patterns and processes to now trying to project and predict the future
of biodiversity, its functioning and the ecosystem functions and services it provides.

Bird Species Migration in East Asia, Australia and Surrounding Islands
Ecologists often fail to provide accurate and precise projection on consequences of ecological crisis caused
by human activities. This inability is mainly due to data availability, unclear causality and complexity of ecosystems, and adaptions of organisms. Here, using data of distribution range and contemporary environment, I
present a macroecological research on bird migration. We calculated the avian migration ratio (the proportion
of breeding species that migrate) in the lands from 70°E to 180°E and examined its relationships with the
annual ranges of ambient temperature, primary productivity (estimated by the Enhanced Vegetation Index),
and precipitation, along with island isolation and elevational range. The avian migration ratio increased with
increasing latitude in general but varied greatly between the two hemispheres. Additionally, it showed minimal
differences between continents and islands.
Our analyses reveal the seasonality of ambient temperature, which represents extra energy expenditure of
birds, is the dominant factor in determining bird species migration. Seasonality in primary productivity and
other environmental factors plays an indirect or limited role in bird species migration. Under current trends
of global warming, our findings should lead to further studies on the impacts of warming on bird migration.

Speaker: Jérôme MURIENNE

An evolutionary approach to environmental changes
One of the most critical challenge facing biologists is to understand and predict how environmental changes
will influence biodiversity. However, environmental changes have already affected biodiversity in the past and
there is much to learn from evolutionary studies. I will present recent advances in biogeography and how
paleontological information can be combined with DNA-based information to better understand the global
diversity of species in space and time. In the second part, I will present how such macroevolutionary studies
can be used to predict future extinction risks and adaptive potential of lineages or entire areas.

Mathematical tools for social network modelling
I will present a brief overview of the mathematical tools that may be used to study social networks. The objective is to show that a wide range of methods may be relevant, from algebra to topology via statistic or combinatorics and graph theory. It will be illustrated by an example in the domain of history. That presentation will
open some questions about modelling in the Social and Human Sciences. It will be complementary to that of
David Chavalarias particularly focused on web and dynamical data and that of Zong-Rong Lee more sociology
driven with large surveys.

Mining the online traces of the digital society: quantifying the evolution of topics in the
scientific literature, the press and the blogosphere
The exponential increase in the quantity and variety of textual information with which we are given to interact
paves the way toward new approaches to digital corpuses, leveraging quantitative analysis methods and
techniques of interactive visualization. The application of these approaches to different types of traces left by
the digital society (scientific archives, online news, blogs, etc.) along with the use of ad hoc tools, brings new
insights to understand the social dynamics and the dynamics of knowledge in a synthetic and multi-scale way.
Through different examples of reconstructions of these dynamics, we will show to what extent these traces
can be studied with quantitative approaches and we will ask the question of the predictability of the observed

Social Network Analysis and Its Development in Taiwan
The purpose of this talk is to serve as a knowledge bridge between scholars in this conference, with the intention of fostering mutual understandings and possible collaborations among scholars constrained in their respective domains and geographic territories. For doing so, I will divide my talk into mainly three parts. Firstly, I
will briefly introduce some fundamental ideas and basic approaches of social network analysis utilized mostly
by sociologists and other social scientists. Secondly, I will introduce the history of social network analysis in
Taiwan and its recent developments and ongoing research projects. How Taiwanese scholars contributed to
the general knowledge of social network analysis with their various efforts and approaches will be broadly
sketched. And finally, I will illustrate with one peculiar research project about kinship networks of major
business elites in Taiwan. With a large scale of dataset assembled from records of elites obituaries published
across more than fifty years, this project was able to retrieve and analyze the structure of kinship networks
among local elite families. Additional datasets combined with directories of large business groups and political donation to election candidates enable this project to further gauge the extent to which the market and
political power landscape in Taiwan was influenced by such close-knit familial ties. I will present empirical
analyses showing the myriad impacts of kinship ties upon the economic exchanges, alliance activities and
political collective actions among business groups in Taiwan. The talk will conclude with thoughts on institutional understanding about how social networks emerge and function in this modern world.

Poster Title Targeted dual growth factor delivery
Poster Abstract Therapeutic angiogenesis (creation of blood vessels) is a promising approach for the treat-
ment of cardiovascular diseases including myocardial infarction and chronic heart failure (CHF). However,
current strategies of therapeutic angiogenesis or arteriogenesis in cardiovascular diseases have proven insufficient. We aim to improve pro-angiogenic therapies by: i) identifying novel arteriogenic growth factor combinations; ii) developing injectable delivery systems for spatiotemporally-controlled growth factor release; and
iii) evaluating functional consequences of targeted, intramyocardial growth factor delivery in experimental
models of CHF.

Research Field Neurolinguistics
My researches deal with pragmatic aspects of language such as non-literal language processing (indirect
request, irony). Non-literal language includes any linguistic construction producing an apparent need for the
listener to go beyond what is literally said to be able to grasp the speaker’s intention and can therefore understand the meaning of these statements in a given context. I work particularly on the relationship between
language and social cognition in pathology such as schizophrenia and right brain damaged people.

Poster Title Assessing theory of mind during social interaction in schizophrenia
Poster Abstract Many studies have reported that patients with schizophrenia (SZ) may have impaired social
cognition, resulting in communication disorders and theory of mind impairments. Theory of mind (ToM) refers
to the ability to form representations of other people’s mental states (e.g. intention, thought, belief, knowledge)
and to use these representations to understand, predict and judge their behaviors and statements. Most of the
classical tasks used to assess impaired ToM ability are too complex, and McCabe et al. (2004) suggested that
in real life conversations SZ patients were able to attribute mental states to achieve successful communication. The aim of this study was to assess ToM ability in schizophrenia using both a classical task and a referential communication task. The referential communication paradigm enables one to assess how interlocutors
conversing about how to arrange a set of pictures take into account or not shared knowledge. The main
results showed that SZ patients had difficulties using reference markers and attributing mental states in both
ToM tasks. Contrary to healthy participants, they exhibited a tendency to ineffectively mark the information
they used (indefinite articles for old information and/or definite articles for new information) and had problems
using information they shared with the experimenter.

Poster Title Symmetry breaking bacteria motion
Poster Abstract I will introduce models for two distinct types of bacteria movement, the actin-based motility
of Listeria monocytogenes and the gliding motion of Flavobacterium johnsoniae. The physical mechanism for
these two different bacteria are very different but bifurcations that break the symmetries are essential in both
systems.
A Listeria bacterium moves in the host cell by hijacking the actin polymerization machinary with its special
surface protein. The motion of Listeria in a quasi two-dimensional environment shows geometrical trajectories
ranging from straight lines, circles, S-shape curves, figure eights, etc. With a simple Landau-type model I will
show that these trajectories are results of bifurcations in the distribution of actin filaments and force density
on the Listeria surface.
A Flavobacterium johnsoniae moves on a substrate by processive adhesive proteins which are distributed in a
close-loop track. Even in a homogeneous medium, the bacterium breaks the front-rear symmetry and shows
directional movement. I will show that at sufficiently high adhesive protein speed, the distribution of closed
bonds between the proteins and the substrate has a bifurcation that leads to a directional movement for the
bacterium. Such mechanism has the advantage that the bacterium can tune the adhesive protein speed to
detect small gradient of nutrient or toxin in the environment.

Poster Title Do earthquakes talk to each other?
Poster Abstract Knowledge of what governs the timing of earthquakes is essential to understanding the
nature of their cycles and to determining earthquake hazard, yet the variability and controls of earthquake
recurrences are not well established. Repeating earthquakes have been well established in several tectonic
settings like Japan subduction zone, Parkfield, and Taiwan. We found that there seems to exist a universal rule
on recurrence interval scaling of repeating earthquakes in diverse tectonic settings. That is, tectonic loading
rate is the most important factor that controls the repeat time. What governs the timing of repeating earthquakes, however, is still an open question. We do not know how the repeating sequences respond to static
stress perturbations associated with nearby earthquakes, and to what degree fault interaction influences
the timing of repeating earthquakes. The large population of small, characteristically repeating earthquakes
at Parkfield provides a unique opportunity to study how the interaction of nearby earthquakes affects their
recurrence properties. We analyze 112 M -0.4 3.0 repeating earthquake sequences (RESs) to examine the
triggering effect from nearby microseismicity. We find that the repeating events with a smaller number of
neighboring earthquakes in their immediate vicinity tend to recur in a more periodic manner. The total stress
perturbation from close-by earthquakes, however, does not seem to impact RES regularity and timing much.
Instead, close-by-events influence RES timing in a matter of minutes or hours by short-term triggering. Events
that occurred within less than 1 day of an RES often imposed or experienced high stress changes. A static
stress increment of 30 kPa is enough, to produce such effectively immediate triggering. This requires that the
triggered repeating events are already near the end of their earthquake cycle.

Poster Title Mutations Causing Embryonic Lethality in Mouse: A Functional Genomic Approach
Poster Abstract Forward genetic screens in mice provide an unbiased approach to functionally identify gene
and other genetic elements. A large-scale three-generation ENU mutagenesis program was conducted by my
previous laboratory to fine dissect the function of a 50 Mb region of the mouse chromosome 5. Out off 1000
mutant pedigrees tested, a totally of 37 recessive lethal families were identified, the biggest phenotype class
recovered. We have cloned and characterized these 37 families and reported 13 alleles that are responsible for
the phenotype of these lethal families: eight genes with no previously reported mutant models and five mutations in genes previously reported. According to our data, the mouse genome estimated to have 3479 embryonic lethal genes. The estimated active protein-coding mouse genes are roughly consistent with human genes,
and the high percentage of embryonic lethal genes in mice may reflect an complex process of development.

Poster Abstract The planning for pedestrian evacuation in large public-gathering buildings is important be-
cause pedestrians are vulnerable to various types of emergency events. One of the most critical measures of
the preparedness of a building during these events is its evacuation guidance. This paper proposes a method
for designing evacuation guidance systems in complex building spaces by solving a maximum coverage problem with side constraints of number of signs and evacuation routes. An example based on a transportation
terminal is presented to validate the methodology. The results show that the proposed methodology is effective and can be used for supporting emergency evacuation planning for buildings.

Poster Title Evolution on Guangxi’s limestone karsts—Phylogenetics of Primulina
Poster Abstract The picturesque karst landscapes of Guangxi, China, featured by spectacular limestone
towers and caves, have been hypothesized to have played crucial roles in generating high biodiversity and
endemism there. To test this hypothesis, evolutionary relationships of Primulina, an exemplar of Guangxi’s
limestone flora confined to various limestone habitats, were reconstructed using DNA sequence data. Phylogenetic relationships reveal that species distributed in geographical proximity are also phylogenetically closely
related, suggesting that species diversification were driven mainly through geographic isolation. Divergent
time estimates indicate that Primulina originated at ca. 23 million years before present (MYBP) and the basal
Primulina clades derived from within a narrow time-span ranging from 19.53 to 18.37 MYBP, all within the
Miocene. The inferred tempo and mode of speciation suggests that rapid accumulation of extant Primulina
species is highly correlated with the formation of Guangxi’s modern limestone karsts. During the Miocene, the
uplift of Tibet Plateau to sufficient height greatly altered the pattern of East Asian monsoon, most importantly
increasing the rainfall in Guangxi and accelerating the weathering of carbonate substrate and facilitating the
formation of the karst landscape (karstification). Meanwhile, the karstification also intensified the isolation of
Primulina populations, facilitating population diversification and eventually leading to speciation.

Poster Abstract Supramolecular self-assembly at surfaces has proven in the last two decades to be very
efficient for creating atomically-controlled organic nanostructures. The possibility of extending the concepts of
supramolecular chemistry to the formation of covalent bonds between molecular tectons has attracted recent
focus, and the demonstrations of covalent polymerization performed directly at surfaces have opened promising perspectives. However, the formation mechanism is here very complex due to the necessary activation of
a chemical reaction. In addition, the irreversible character of a covalent bond usually precludes the formation
of the thermodynamically most stable structure through defect self-healing. Nevertheless, exquisite details on
the complex mechanisms involved in the growth of two-dimensional polymers can be gained by comparing
different systems based on various chemical functions.

Session title Ecology, Biodiversity and evolution
Research Field Ecology
I work on population dynamics in the framework of conservation biology. Basically, I’m interested in trying to
understand the causes and mechanisms of population decline and extinctions. My topics range from biological
invasions to overexploitation and climate change. Focussing on processes rather than specific species, I use a
large number of animal models, with a combination of experimental work, both in the lab and in the field, and
analytic and theoretical studies.

Current one of my researches is about social life cycle assessment and “Social networks - co-authorship networks
and analysis in industrial ecology and sustainable science and engineering area”. Scientific publications are one
of the most tangible and well documented forms of scientific collaboration. Many scientific collaboration networks
have been extensively studied from different perspectives, such as degree analysis or centrality. However there
is any study of the scientific collaboration network in industrial ecology and sustainable science and engineering
research. For this reason, I am collecting publication data from publications between 1980 and early 2013 from
several journals and analyze and visualize them using a network analysis software.

Poster Title Co-authorship Networks in Industrial Ecology Domains
Poster Abstract Network theory and studies have developed considerably since beginning in the 1950’s.
It has been used widely in electrical engineering, computer science, engineering economics, social science,
business applications (for example, modeling increasingly complex inventory and logistics systems) and biology, where it has increasingly proven to be a powerful tool in systems ecology and in enabling understanding of complex metabolic pathways and processes. In this study, we collected the co-authorship data and
keywords from the Journal of Industrial Ecology (from volume 1, issue 1 in 1997 to volume 16, issue 5 in 2012)
and International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment (from volume 1, issue 1 in 1996 to volume 17, issue 9 in
2012). Based on the collected dada, we evaluated co-authorship network characteristics, such as, sets of key
players, closeness degree centrality, closeness centrality, betweenness centrality, eigenvector centrality, and
clustering coefficient.

Poster Title Studies of crystal structures and earthquake precursors in Taiwan
Poster Abstract Taiwan is known for natural disasters occurring frequently, such as earthquakes, landslides,
and typhoons. Historically, numerous damage earthquakes occurred in and around Taiwan and those seismogenic zones are related to the convergence of the Philippine Sea and the Eurasian plates. However, fully understanding the geometries of those seismogenic zones are still incapable because of limited geological and geophysical
information of the sub-surface. For this reason, in 2006-2009, we collaborated with geoscientists in USA, Taiwan,
France, and Japan to conduct several geophysical experiments to image the sub-surface of Taiwan. The significantly crustal deformation, the plate boundary between the Philippine Sea and Eurasian plates, rock properties,
and seismicity are revealed in these experiments, which are the basic knowledge for earthquake disaster mitigation. Besides the fundamental geophysical survey, we conduct a geochemical experiment to capture earthquake precursors near the plate boundary in eastern Taiwan. A long-term monitoring of groundwater radon has
been conducted since 2003. Until now, we have successfully captured several radon precursors for earthquake
magnitude greater than five. We hypothesized that the dilation of brittle rock mass occurred at a rate faster than
the recharge of pore water and gas saturation developed in newly created cracks preceding the earthquake.

Poster Title An integrated approach towards understanding the biopsychology of the mind: The
LINE and our ongoing projects
Poster Abstract “Though this be madness, yet there is method in’t.” – William Shakespeare
As pointed out by Nobel Laureate Dr. Eric Kandel, “Understanding the biology of mental illness would be a
paradigm shift in our thinking about mind…..…. it would also tell us more about who we are and how we
function”. I believe that the biology of the mind will be one of the most fascinating and challenging topics for
this century. In collaboration with human studies, animal model is a powerful/alterative approach to elucidate
causal relationships from gene, to neurons, to brain, to mental illness, and hopefully to the mind. Breeding
mice that carry schizophrenia susceptibility gene(s) and develop schizophrenia-like symptoms help researchers better understand the causal relationship of susceptibility gene(s) for schizophrenia and the pathogenesis
of this complicated disorder. Thus, the central focus of my laboratory aims at investigating the biopsychological functions of AKT1 and other schizophrenia susceptibility genes in mice. Our ultimate concern is to bridge
the most fundamental element of an organism to higher level of mental functions using animal models as a
tool. In the study of etiology of schizophrenia, this approach shall be the “method” to figure it out piece by
piece.

0 The Esthetics of Nonlinearity and Nonlinear Dynamical Systems : Liquid Text in Electronic Literature
Poster Abstract Starting from the premise that second generation electronic literature exhibits the charac-
teristics of nonlinear systems, this poster seeks to explore the flow of text which fleetingly hangs on screen.
It focuses more specifically on how the loss of stability impacts the texts and the way we read the works.
Using Stephanie Strickland’s slippingglimpse as a tutor text, this analysis examines how artistic creations can
provide an indirect esthetic answer to theoretical questionings on dynamical systems. The poem reconfigures
itself with each reading, therefore calling for a form of self-reflexive chaotic reading. The self-reflexivity is exhibited both in the pointer device and in the use of coastal-chreods. The pointer questions what can be called
the “arrow of reading,” while the chreods—translated into video loops of waves—provide esthetic recurrence
within a nonlinear reading experience.

Poster Title Interhemispheric gradient and tropical climate changes : climate teleconnections
in the past, present and the future
Poster Abstract The tropical sea surface temperature (SST) gradient is an important indicator of the state
of the tropical marine climate; this is particularly true for the cross-equatorial meridional SST gradient that
strongly controls the position of the Atlantic and Pacific ITCZs. Some recent lines of evidence - from both observation and climate modeling - have suggested that the meridional SST gradient (and my implication the position of the ITCZ) can be influence by the extratropics, specifically from a relative contrast in forcing between
the northern and southern hemispheres. In light of the importance of ITCZ position to the location and intensity
of rainfall, the question I pose here is whether or not this idea can be usefully applied to understanding 20th
century and future tropical climate change, focusing specifically on the Atlantic and Pacific.

Poster Title Demonstration of Field-Effect Thermoelectricity in Dual-Gated Bilayer Graphene
Poster Abstract The “field-effect thermoelectricity” is demonstrated for the first time in experiment. When
applying a perpendicular electric field (D) on a bilayer graphene, the thermoelectric power (TEP) can be amplified more than 4 folds while the carrier density remains the same. The value of TEP is comparable to or
exceeding several known low temperature thermoelectric materials. The physical mechanism is rooted in the
band-gap opening due to the inversion symmetry breaking by D, which largely increases the band curvature
near the band edges. On the other hand, its polarity can be readily tuned by the gate voltage to be either
electron-type or hole-type. Our results open up a new possibility in thermoelectric application using graphenebased device.

Poster title Safety and process intensification
Poster abstract The goal is to develop a safe and green continuous process for the production of bio-lubri-
cant, particularly epoxidized vegetable oils. This reaction occurs in heterogeneous liquid-liquid phase, where
the peroxyformic acid formed in the aqueous phase transfers to the organic one to epoxidize the unsaturated
vegetable oils. Even though this oxidation way is safer than the use of oxygen gas, the presence of peroxide
species in the reaction mixture could lead to a thermal runway at high reaction temperature or in presence
of impurities. Indeed, such peroxides could undergo some decomposition reactions which are exothermic.
To determine the maximum reaction temperature, micro-calorimetric measurement will be performed. The
knowledge of the kinetic, thermodynamic and mass transfer parameters is needed to build a robust model
to estimate these parameters. Based on the literature review and on our knowledge, cation exchange resins
are the more suitable catalyst for this reaction because it does not initiate the peroxide decomposition, the
ring opening and greener than the traditional sulfuric acid. The design of a continuous catalytic reactor will be
performed to improve the production of such compounds.

Research Field Material science
My research interests are mainly focused on electromigration of copper interconnects in integrated circuits
and nanocrystalline thermoelectric materials/devices. Our goal is investigate current-driven atomic diffusion
in Cu by using in situ transmission electron microscopy. We have found that the presence of triple junctions of
twin boundaries and grain boundaries are able to impede current-driven atomic transport at grain boundaries,
which may suppress electromigration-induced failure of Cu lines in integrated circuits. More recently, we are
exploring the stability of nanoscale twin in copper under electric current stressing. In addition, we are also
working on electric current induced defect elimination in bismuth telluride based thermoelectric materials.

Poster Abstract We used liquid foam as a template to create scaffolds of uniform pores for cell culture. We
can tune the stiffness of the scaffolds and pore sizes. We investigated the morphology of fibroblasts and found
that cells sense local stiffness, rather than overall scaffold stiffness. In addition, we find that when pore sizes
increase, cells exhibit longer cell length and elongation. When the pore size become smaller, the distribution
of cytoskeleton and focal adhesion does not confine in a plane but is truly 3D. Also, at the smaller pore size,
the nucleus is less "squeezed" in comparison with 2D or in larger pore size. This novel 3D scaffold can be an
interesting assay to study cell-matrix interactions in 3D.

Poster Title Governing Natural Disaster
Poster Abstract The paper argues that state capacity and regime type, two fundamental elements of modern
political institution, shape the allocation of natural disaster vulnerability in the global human community. For
rule and revenue, political elites have incentive to build-up relevant state capacity preventing disaster impacts
on the population and property. The incentive of the elites and the capacity protecting citizens shall be stronger
under democratic competitive elections. A panel data that includes 150 countries from 1995 to 2009 are used
to illustrate the relationship between state capacity, democracy, and the impact of disaster. After controlling
density and continuity of natural disaster hazards, the empirical findings from the multilevel models imply
that strong state capacity and democratic regime is associated with the lower disaster death and victim tolls.
Besides, strong state capacity effectively reduces human vulnerability especially in democracy.

Poster Title Recent Developments in Non-equilibrium Statistical Physics
Poster Abstract Recent Developments in Nonequilibrium Statistical Physics A complex system maintained
out of equilibrium through its interactions with the environment will usually evolve to a non-equilibrium steady
state with a non-vanishing macroscopic current (a metal conductor subject to a driving field in its bulk, or to
a difference of potentials between its boundaries, provides a simple example). Due to the presence of this
stationary current, time-reversal invariance is violated. This is a situation which lies beyond the realm of
traditional thermodynamics and the principles of equilibrium statistical mechanics do not apply. There exists
no fundamental theory or framework (a la Gibbs-Boltzmann) that would allow us to predict the value of the
current and of its fluctuations from first principles. Nevertheless, during the last two decades, substantial
progress has been made towards a statistical theory of non-equilibrium systems. The aim of this lecture is to
explain some remarkable recent results valid for sytems far from equilibrium: the Work Identities (Jarzynski,
Crooks) and the Fluctuation Theorem (Cohen, Evans, Gallavotti and Morriss), that quantify transient violations
of the second principle. These seminal results can be applied to various physical situations and put the emphasis of some mathematical objects, the large deviation functions that are expected to play for systems out
of equilibrium a role akin to that of thermodynamic potentials. We shall illustrate these concepts with some
simple systems such as the Brownian ratchet model for molecular motors and the asymmetric exclusion
process, which is considered today as the paradigm of nonequilibrium physics.

Poster Title Toward the Drosophila Connectome : Structural Analysis of the Brain Network
Poster Abstract The brain can be conceptualized as a complex network. It is believed that the topological
structure of the brain network is closely related to the functions of the brain. Therefore, understanding the
network structure of the brain is a crucial task in neuroscience. In this report, we propose a first draft of the
network architecture of the Drosophila connectome at the mesoscopic scale. The structural network of the
Drosophila brain is constructed from a dataset of more than 20,000 single neurons in female brain assembled in the FlyCircuit database (http://www.flycircuit.tw), the most comprehensive database of single-neuron
images of the Drosophila brain to date. The nodes of the network represent mesoscopic brain regions called
Local Processing Units (LPUs). The weight of the edges connecting each node pair corresponds to the number of neurons innervating the two LPUs reciprocally. The network shows hierarchical structure, pronounced
small-world characteristics with high clustering and high global efficiency, and it is composed of six modules
corresponding to known functional domains including the sensory modalities (including olfactory, mechanoauditory, and visual), together with the pre-motor and motor centers. Based on the modular structure of the
network, we propose two models for the flow of information associated with intuitive and reasoning behaviors,
respectively.

Poster title Epigenetic modifications due to gene therapy treatments in hematopoietic stem cells
Poster Abstract Gene therapy based on HIV-derived vectors is used to treat some inherited disorders of the
blood and immune system. Vectors are particles made of parts of a virus that ensures efficient nuclear delivery
while entirely removing all coding sequences that contribute towards the replication and pathogenesis of the
virus. The stable genomic integration of a therapeutic transgene in blood cells is obtained following ex vivo transduction of hematopoietic stem cells using HIV-derived (lentiviral) vectors. Recently our team found that the ex vivo
lentiviral vector treatment causes epigenetic modifications in hematopoietic stem cells. Examples of such modifications are DNA methylation and histone modification, both of which serve to regulate gene expression without
altering the underlying DNA sequence. We found that more than 5% of the methylation sites were modified which
strongly suggests that broad epigenetic changes induced by ex vivo treatment of the cells by the medium with
cytokines and by effects of the vector, may contribute to define the vector genomic insertion site profile. This may
have consequences on the safety of gene transfer in clinical applications but such knowledge may also help to
provide new biomarkers to rationally optimize gene and cell therapy protocols.

Poster Title Imaging Nitrogen-Color center in diamond nanocrystals by STED microscopy
Poster Abstract The Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) colour centre in diamond is a perfectly stable emitter under
light excitation, promising for sub-diffraction limited microscopy techniques such as STimulated Emission
Depletion (STED). A resolution of a few nanometres has been achieved using STED for a single NV centre in
bulk diamond. For spherical diamond nanocrystals (ND) in the electrostatic approximation (size ≈100 nm), the
whole particle behaves like a dipole antenna with a quasi-homogeneous inner electric field, so that STED resolution should be limited to ND size. We tested these predictions experimentally. We spincoated ND (size range
20-100 nm) on a photoetched quartz coverslip. We characterized each ND with combined optical confocal –
Atomic Force Microscope and time-intensity correlation setups, allowing for the simultaneous measurement
of the size and number of NV centers. The same ND were then imaged by STED microscopy. ND containing
single NV center resulted STED spots full width at half maximum (FWHM) size of 15 nm whatever the physical
size of the ND was. For ND containing more than one NV center, we observed multiple 15 nm-spots within ND
as small as 80 nm (confirmed by electron microscopy). These observations challenge the above-mentioned
model and are being interpreted.

Poster Title Exploiting the paradigm of perceptual supplementation to investigate human
cognition and to develop smart technologies for health and autonomy
Poster Abstract We present a research program that focuses on studying and exploiting of the paradigm of
“perceptual supplementation”, which is jointly employed (i) as a suitable and relevant means to investigate
human cognition and (ii) as a promising instrumental solution for the development of technologies for health
and autonomy. Hence, this research program presents a truly interdisciplinary feature with a dimension of
basic research in the field of Neurosciences and a dimension of applied research in the field of Information
and Communication Engineering Technology. Two complementary goals, (i) scientific and (ii) technological, are
pursued. The first objective is to investigate in more depth multisensory integration mechanisms involved in
the control of perceptive, spatial, postural and motor behaviours and their changes as results of normal aging, chronic diseases, pathologies and/or accidents and to identifying neuroanatomical correlates associated
with them. The second objective is to develop, validate and deploy technologies and services for health and
autonomy, innovative in terms of (i) the development of integrated, multimodal, embedded and interactive
physical and/or physiological sensors and actuators and (ii) the assessment, substitution, compensation and
assistance of functional deficits resulting from normal aging, pathologies or accidents. Our work also includes
activities of valorisation of R&D results and technology transfer.

Poster Title Recurrent structural motifs reflect characteristics of distinct networks
Poster Abstract In large-scale networks, certain topological patterns may occur more frequently than ex-
pected from a null model that preserves global and local properties. These network motifs are the building
blocks of large-scale networks and may confer functional/mechanistic implications of their underlying processes. Despite active investigations in systems biology, network motifs are less explored in social network
studies. In this work, we modified and improved the method from Milo et al. 2002 to detect significantly
enriched motifs in both directed and undirected networks. We applied this method to identify 3-node and
4-node motifs from the datasets of 18 networks covering social and biological arenas. In undirected networks,
triangles are enriched in almost all datasets, suggesting the prevalence of transitivity in diverse networks.
However, 4-node structures lacking transitivity — diamonds and stars — are also enriched in the majority of
undirected networks. In directed networks, variations of feed-forward loops are over-represented in the networks of web document and political weblog hyperlinks as well as neuronal connections. In contrast, food web
is enriched with unidirectional motifs with distinct trophic levels. These results reveal the nature of distinct
types of networks and invite further explorations on the relations of network structures and types of relations.
