The study area--Pull area--is a place to stop along the way to the two most popular international destinations--Sun Moon Lake and Qing-Jing Farm of Central Taiwan. Pull area once was the tourism community providing dining and accommodation facilities for the travelers heading to the two international destinations, but since the availability of National Highway 6 more efficiently connects to National Highway 1 to the public, travelers get to the two international destinations becoming easier. Pull area definitely transformed its nodal function of tourism, and further reconstructed the new spatial relationships among the travel nodes of destinations after the transportation revolution. In this research, the author termed this phenomenon of travel nodes of secondary nodes or primary nodes emerging on rapidly in tourism development after transportation revolution to ＂vine effect＂.展开更多

Current battery and fuel cell systems are challenged by a few issues characterized either of insufficient energy capacity or of operation instability and, thus, are not ideal for highly-demanded applications, such as electrical vehicles and portable electronic devices. Inefficient mass transfer in energy conversion/storage devices has been the key factor leading to these aforementioned challenges.展开更多
