This study aimed to find out the formation of ecologically educational place identity of nature trails in national parks, which elementary school students to adults can understand, by analyzing the connectivity between characteristics (signs) of nature trails and elementary science environment-related key concepts and the domain of ecological education in the course of environment and by developing a semiotic interpretation model of place identity based on Barthes's semiotic theory. When analyzing correlations between the interpretation board-focused surrounding environment of nature trails and the content system of ecological education, this study found out that it showed the highest connectivity with the domain of 'System of Ecological Environment'. When analyzing the formation of place identity of nature trails in terms of semiotics, this study discovered that geographical locations or landscapes, artificial environments and physical elements as characteristics of surrounding environments mostly acted on the formation of placeness. Besides, it was found that both knowledge and attachment elements equally could act on the formation of a sense of place. Being likely to develop through interaction between placeness and a sense of place, place identity was mostly composed of behavioral internal stages and sympathetic internal stages. To diversify the formation of place identity, however, this study found it necessary to develop environment education projects and create surrounding environments and interpretation boards with the environmental uniqueness of nature trails reflected much more.

Background/aim : Atherosclerotic disease at the origin of the vertebral arteries is one of the risk factors for vertebrobasilar ischemic disease. Assessment and visualization of the origin of the vertebral arteries with color doppler sonography is a non-trivial task. The aim of this study is to increase the visualization rate of the origin of the vertebral arteries with color doppler sonography. Materials and Methods : Color doppler sonography for the vertebral arteries included carotid arteries was performed to 198 patients. We first examined the vertebral artery in the upper neck in the direction of the subclavian artery to distinguish its origin more easily. If the vertebral artery origin was not visualized in natural position, the examiner pushed the transducer toward a clavicle or pushed the shoulder of patient by the other hand. The technical methods for visualization of the vertebral artery origin were classified into three grades: natural position, pushing the transducer, and pushing the shoulder of patient according to the depth (3.0 cm and shallower, deeper than 3.0 cm) of the origin. Results : The origin of the vertebral arteries could be visualized in 97% on the right and in 92% on the left. The origin of the vertebral arteries could be visualized in 98.6%, 1.4%, and 0.0% in natural position, pushing the transducer, and pushing the shoulder of patient, respectively, at shallower than 3.0 cm on the right side. The origin of the vertebral arteries could be visualized in 81.2%, 14.6%, and 4.2% in natural position, pushing the transducer, and pushing the shoulder of patient, respectively, at deeper than 3.0 cm on the right side. The origin of the vertebral arteries could be visualized in 85.4%, 10.7%, and 3.9% in natural position, pushing the transducer, and pushing the shoulder of patient, respectively, at shallower than 3.0 cm on the left side. The origin of the vertebral arteries could be visualized in 55.7%, 30.4%, and 13.9% in natural position, pushing the transducer, and pushing the shoulder of patient, respectively, at deeper than 3.0 cm on the left side. Conclusion : If the examiner pushes the transducer toward a clavicle or pushes the shoulder of patient by the other hand, when the vertebral artery origin during the color doppler sonography is not visualized in natural position, visualization rate of the origin of the both vertebral arteries is increased.

현재 우리 나라에는 고수동굴, 성유굴, 고씨굴 등의 석회동굴 이외에 제주도의 만장굴과 협재굴 등이 공개되고 있는 관광동굴의 대표적인 것들로 알려져 있다. 이들 동굴들은 계속 드나들고 있는 관광객들에게 자연의 신비로움과 오묘함을 보여주고 있을 뿐만 아니라 자연관찰의 현장으로 그리고 심신단련의 자연도장으로 커다란 몫을 하고 있는 것이 사실이다. (중략)

지구과학은 자연과학 중에서 야외 현장에서 자연 현상의 관찰과 조사를 기초로 하는 학문이다. 특히 지질학 분야는 야외 조사를 통해 학생 스스로 탐구하고 문제를 발견함으로써 자연에 대한 흥미와 관심을 갖게 하여 지질학적 현상을 이해하게 한다. 그러나, 충북 지역에서 개발된 야외지질학습장의 부재와 입시위주의 교육환경으로 인하여 교사들은 한정된 범위에서 야외 현장 학습을 계획 및 실시하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 교사들에게 실제 야외학습의 패러다임을 사용한 야외학습장을 개발하여 지구과학 교육과정 중 야외학습의 교육적 자료로 제공 될 수 있도록 하였으며, 이러한 학습장을 토대로 지구과학교육에 야외학습을 쉽게 응용 할 수 있도록 하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 다양한 암석과 지질구조를 가지고 있고, 지리적으로 접근이 편리한 단양군 일대를 야외학습장으로 선정 하였다. 단양군 일대의 야외지질 학습코스에는 앨걸마운드, 어란석, 주상도 작성(석회암층군과 충식석회암), 두족류화석, 부정합관계에 놓인 역암층의 5개의 관찰지점이 있으며 실제 현장에서 각 관찰 지점별로 학생들이 활동할 수 있도록 야외지질 학습 자료를 제시하였다.

Traditional propellants which have a hypergolic characteristic have a high performance but also have disadvantages of toxicity and complex handling requirement. In order to replace these propellants, one of the alternatives is hydrogen peroxide which generates high temperature oxygen and water vapor after catalytic reaction. In this paper, autoignition characteristics of kerosene by decomposed hydrogen peroxide were investigated to perform fundamental research for designing a thruster using hydrogen peroxide and kerosene propellants. Contraction ratio, whether flame holder exists or not, and feeding pressure of propellants were selected as variables. From the experiments for different mixture ratio, we confirmed the ignition stability is strongly affected by a feeding pressure of propellants.

Natural forms could be ultimate visual expression power that affects on the industrial design. The rule of power in nature as nature formal characteristics have a direct influence and can be also applied to productional and artificial form. All organic forms and structures in nature have unique form and shape to be self controlled and good in order. Such an order in nature comes from regular and ratio principles which has aesthetical order by mathematics. The specialty of beauty in nature can be revealed not only visual form but also the ratio, balance and rhythm of structural principles. As we examine the aesthetic source, embodied some object can be developed into basic principles. Furthermore, through this study we can find out that the form theory in nature forms share the quality attribute with geometrical form to be shown in industrial product design. In this context, this study aims to make dear visual quality of organic form and structure that is immanent in nature about a form as formative principles of industrial product design, the significancy of this study is to prove the application into functional and structural form of product design.

Readability, an indicator measuring the easiness of reading letters, has been known an important element that determines the communicative effectiveness of the self-guided interpretive signs. However, there are few studies to find out how the readability of the signs influence visitor's attraction and reading behavior of interpretive signs. This study examined the relationship between readability of interpretive signs and attraction, preferences, and intent to recommend reading signs to others. Data were collected from August to November of 2003 at a self-guided trail of Naejangsan National Park, Korea. 350 out of 375 responses from subjects who participated in the questionnaire survey were usable. Results showed that readability of the signs is related with the attraction, preferences, and intention of recommending reading signs to others. The higher the readability of the signs were, the higher the attraction, preferences, and intention of recommending reading signs were. Attraction and preferences were also positively related with intention of recommending reading signs. Preferences better explained intention of recommending reading signs than readability and attraction. These findings suggest that enhancing readability of the signs may lead to higher participation in reading them.
