Yu-Chen Hsieh's research while affiliated with National Yunlin University of Science and Technology and other places

... Specifically, the study team installed the exergame system in four vacant kindergarten classrooms; it included a Nintendo Switch console, four versions of the Just Dance [44] game software (2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021), a 55-inch monitor (resolution 3840 × 2160), and all necessary auxiliary supplies. The Just Dance series was chosen because it has an exclusive "Kids Mode" with eight dance tunes created just for children [45]. This model has been validated in previous research [45][46][47][48], which has shown that it can be practiced by preschool children and is quite popular with them. ...

... On the other hand, with regard to anxiety, Henderson and Corry (2019) state that anxiety can be increased by the increase of technological integration in the classroom. Likewise, studies such as those by Hsieh et al. (2020) and Matos et al. (2016) link technological anxiety with the development of a dependence on digital and technological media that can sometimes lead to addiction. ...

... Minelgaite and Liobikiene (2019), in an EU centric study, determined that informing people of the waste they generate is not enough to motivate people who do not already opt into sorting behaviors. A study published in 2019, analyzed consumers in a fast food restaurant in Taiwan, found that patrons did not effectively sort recyclables and non-recyclables (Hsieh et al. 2019). People may be ineffective sorters due to a variety of reasons, such as lack of knowledge, apathy, and confusion. ...

... One other variable that shall be considered is recognizing which type of devices are used to open the website and read the articles. According to a previous study, reading through mobile devices could speed up reading behavior and reduce reading comprehension [13]. Therefore, to ensure that the reader understands the information conveyed, it is necessary to know what type of device is used; developers could serve thus better approach and analysis. ...

... Icons are an important part of the digital interface of the industrial system [1]. Previous studies on icons mainly focused on the impact of their size, distance [2], visual characteristics [3] and other factors on operators' cognitive performance. However, semantic transmission is the main function of icons in the interface of industrial control system. ...

... Once they are conscious of the orientation, they would automatically locate their eyes' first fixation on the items on the top (or on the left), because the top-tobottom (or left-to-right) eye movement is more consistent with their reading or writing habits (Bulf et al., 2016;Lohse, 1997;Wedel & Pieters, 2008;Zhang et al., 2019). The areas where people's eyes first fixate (i.e., on the top or left), however, attract more attention than other areas (Lin et al., 2015;van der Laan et al., 2015). Consequently, people would first fixate on the top (or the left) and pay more attention to the items in that area when a dividing line is present but would process total items as a whole, and their eyes might first fixate anywhere depending on the visual salience of individual items when the dividing line is not available (Rayner, 1978(Rayner, , 2009Wedel & Pieters, 2008). ...

... Because, a strong van-der-Waals force is prevailed among the Gr nanosheets due to high surface area which tends to create a tendency of aggregations in the polar fluid media [32,39]. Hence, to increase the dispersibility of Gr nanoflakes in base fluid functionalization (covalent or non-covalent) are conducted with the aid of strong acid treatments [40,41]. Carboxylic (-COOH) and hydroxyl (-OH) functional groups are usually attached on the surface of the Gr sheet which are expected to create [19,42] a hydrophilic percolation chain with the other groups such as polymer type ...

... The TGA curves of as-grown samples, as shown in Fig. 10, demonstrates that there was almost no amorphous carbon formed under the investigated conditions, this is attributed to the presence of hydrogen during CNT growth which can prevent amorphous carbon formation by etching away the amorphous carbon formed during CNT growth [27]. Generally, the thermal stability of CNT depends on several factors such as CNT diameter [54], severity of purification conditions [55,56] and heating rate in temperature-programmed experiments [55,56]. It is obvious from Fig. 10 that thermal stability of the obtained samples was enhanced with increasing the growth time due to increase in the degree of crystalline perfection and oxidative stability, where defects would annealed out as the growth time increased [57], beside that the grown samples were characterized with higher thermal stability than purified ones because the catalyst particles promote the oxidative decomposition, thus resulting in higher oxidation stability. ...

... SWCNT samples showed lower peak temperatures at 511 • C when the heating rate was set to 5 • C/min compared to MWCNT with a peak at 591 • C. This peak was due to the thermal decomposition of the synthesized CNTs [29]. It was noted that for each sample, peak temperatures shifted with increasing heating rates. ...
