　　本書收錄二十二首詩作，內容包含作者跨海參加國際詩歌節的所見、所思的風土人情，在〈禮讚安地斯山脈〉中以「偉大傲岸的安地斯山脈呀！／古文明的歌聲與節奏／在日日咀嚼古柯葉的齒縫裡／不斷向神的詩句致意」，精彩描寫了異國風景的壯闊與歷史；書中同時也涵蓋個人生活情思的紀錄，在〈最後一眼〉中透過「為了看看媽媽／撐著的傘／一路抵擋強力海風的吹折／為了摸摸媽媽的鼻息／無情的雨／打向我急走而汗濕的衣衫」詩句，深刻表現對母親的愛。　　為了讓更多人看見林鷺的作品，顧及世界多數國家以英文為主要溝通橋樑，並因應拉丁美洲等西班牙語系國家交流的需要，分別以漢英西三語集結創作，跨越海洋的限制。且讓我們悠遊在林鷺詩海中，聽聽她想傳遞什麼樣的聲音吧！

萬事萬物的形成，本質無不來自所謂的因緣聚合：時序機緣成熟，萬物自然而生；時序更迭至極，敗亡隨之而來。從宇宙時空的視角來看，人類所見的空間、所感的時間，不過如螻蟻飛蛾一般，只是一場朝生暮死的夢幻泡影。本詩集嘗試以生滅法則來透視生存的意義，讓生短暫而極力精采，讓死因輝煌而了無遺憾。透過黃暖婷的英譯，適切帶出英文詩句間存在的空性，展現有別於漢語詩的韻味。這些詩句的感動與發生，正是林鷺為漂浮生滅的自己，所留下的感動與見證。

A comprehensive and integrated introduction to the phenomena and theories of perceptual learning, focusing on the visual domain.Practice or training in perceptual tasks improves the quality of perceptual performance, often by a substantial amount. This improvement is called perceptual learning (in contrast to learning in the cognitive or motor domains), and it has become an active area of research of both theoretical and practical significance. This book offers a c...

台灣詩人在國際努力開拓空間，是推展台灣意象的整體事功，期待如此能開創台灣文學的長久景象，並能奠定寶貴的歷史意義，使台灣文學在世界文壇上佔有一席之地。──叢書策劃／李魁賢創作不斷的詩人林鷺，擅長在詩句中藏入自然景致，對她而言，生命歷程就如同四季一般，隨著時間更迭燦爛。當年與詩相遇就在春季，短暫的煙花詩情也曾在無聲無息的盛夏裡耗盡，眼看深冬雪鄉已在不遠處等待，於是，詩人便把自己淡淡地遺忘在這秋色猛燃的季節，雙語詩集《忘秋 Forgetting Autumn》翩然降生。透過英語翻譯更為詩集增添火花，兩位譯者分別是愛爾蘭籍的戴珍妮、與台灣青年黃暖婷，她們讓詩句展現不同於中文字的韻味，逐一帶領讀者細細品賞。

Algae are sunlight-driven cell factories, and can efficiently absorb CO2 and convert light energy to chemical energy such as lipid, starch and other carbohydrates and release O2. Algal feedstock is a promising resource for bioproduct production, given its high photosynthetic efficiency for producing biomass compared to conventional crops. Microalgae can be used for flue-gas and wastewater bioremediation. This book highlights recent breakthroughs in the multidisciplinary areas of algal biot...

This book focuses on the modeling of gas-solid, liquid-solid, non-Newtonian fluid-solid, and supercritical fluid-solid fluidized beds and multiphase flows. Simulation techniques are categorized into Euler–Euler with kinetic theory of granular flow (KTGF) and Euler–Lagrange with discrete element method (DEM) approaches. Both the governing equations and numerical implementations are presented. A new CFD-KTGF-DEM approach describes phase interactions, free from the empirical restitution coeff...

This book is for engineers and students to solve issues concerning the fluidized bed systems. It presents an analysis that focuses directly on the problem of predicting the fluid dynamic behavior which empirical data is limited or unavailable. The second objective is to provide a treatment of computational fluidization dynamics that is readily accessible to the non-specialist. The approach adopted in this book, starting with the formulation of predictive expressions for the basic conservat...
