This study analyzes convention tourism destination brand slogans focusing on the international convention cities. Data were collected from official tourism web sites of 190 cities which hosts more than ten international meetings in 2013. One hundred and six destination brand slogans were identified. Specifically, the researchers attempt to carry out content analysis of the linguistic and visual expressions of the slogans. Results indicated that in terms of linguistic expressions, most of slogans adopted word or phrase patterns pursuing brevity. In the brand slogan spectrum, nearly half of slogans are common type which didn't express destinations' specific attributes and benefits properly. And the most frequently used key words in the slogans are 'visit' and 'city'. While in terms of visual expressions, about 70% of slogans adopted typography for explicitness and 60% of them utilized human and natural resources as visual signs for building up unique images. Based on the results, implications for creating effective convention tourism destination brand slogans were also discussed.

This study aims to investigate the kinds of content and science communication included in the exhibits and the exhibition panels in order to suggest a direction of desirable educational development in the nuclear power information halls in Korea. The four local nuclear power information halls in Korea and the nuclear power science center in Japan are selected as the subject. The results of this study show that the 'conceptual' exhibits are a dominant topic among the four topics of contents, and the concept (CON) and interest (INT) are found as the most dominating component of science communication. Meanwhile, the nature of science (NOS), awareness (AW), enjoyment (ENJ), and opinion (OP) components are little exhibited. The findings of this study indicate that the nuclear power information halls can be more professional to enhance scientific literacy, as the informal education institutions, providing information of nuclear energy and radiation on various perspectives for visitors to make decisions by themselves and to improve their scientific attitudes and understanding of science communication. In addition, the limited science communication can be fully reinforced by docents or commentators. Further research needs to investigate the development of a specialized program to produce professional docents or commentators.

In this study, a science museum teaching-learning model was developed with emphasis on play. In order to do this, the models of factor-centered museum education and process-centered museum education were reviewed and characteristics of science museum education were considered. The model developed in this study is called 'Play-Learning Model in Science Museum', and 'play' is defined as activities to achieve the mission in accordance with methods and rules set by individuals or small groups including scaffolding and play is divided into competition, simulation, and chance. 'Play-Learning Model in Science Museum' emphasizes learning using the articles on exhibition, scaffolding and interaction in small groups, and play. The model consists of four steps: 'Preparation', 'Exploring the exhibits', 'Experience', and 'Summary of learning content'. In the 'Preparation' step, the students form related knowledge and are ready to play. The 'Exploring the exhibits' step is the core step of this model, and entails the students solving problems in the mission by interacting with members of the small group. When they cannot find resolution, they get help. In the 'Experience' step, hands-on activities related to the prior step are included. In the 'Summary of learning content' step, the students summarize what they learned while playing. As science museum education is implemented in a variety of forms, continuous research about the science museum learning model and development of various programs are needed.

Anaesthetic effect of lidocaine hydrochloride-sodium bicarbonate mixture $(lidocaine\;HCL/NaHCO_3)$ and tricaine methanesulfonate (MS-222) was tested for the greenling (Hexagyammos otakii) at three different temperature regimes: $12^{\circ}C,\;8^{\circ}C\;and\;24^{\circ}C.$ Based on the exposure and recovery time, effective dose of lidocaine $HCl/NaHCO_3$ was 800 ppm $(18^{\circ}C)\;and\;300\;ppm\;(24^{\circ}C)$ for greenling of $21.0\pm1.4\;cm$ body length. Anaesthetic dose and temperature-dependent relationship in exposure and recovery time were observed. Effective dose of MS-222 at $18^{\circ}C$ was proven to be 125 ppm and 150 ppm. Combination of lidocaine $HCl/NaHCO_3$ and MS-222, considerably reduced the dosage of each anaesthetic required to give rapid, deep anaesthetic condition. In the dry exposure after anaesthetic, the control fish exhibition $22\%$ mortality after dry exposure of 20 min; whereas, the anaesthetic condition with 800 ppm lidocaine $HCl/NaHCO_3$ for 1 min exhibited delayed recoveries from the anaesthetic condition with mortalities of $20\%,\;41\%,\;78\%\;and\;100\%$ after dry exposures of 8 min, 12 min, 16 min and 20 min, respectively. The results indicate that lidocaine $HCl/NaHCO_3$ can be used as suitable anaesthetic for the greenling.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the terms which were described in panels for astronomic article on exhibition at the Gwacheon National Science Museum, and to clarify that the terms were appropriate and easily understandable or not. In research, totally, 965 terms were collected in 52 panels(14 panels in planetarium, 17 panels in national history part, and 21 panels in traditional science part). All terms were categorized to 4types, as 1.Standard/Scientific terms, 2.Non-Standard/Scientific terms, 3.Standard/Non-Scientific terms, 4. Non-Standanrd/Non-Scientific casual words, based on 'Dictionary of Standard Korean' and 'Terminology of Astronomy'. And questionnaires survey was done to 24 in-service teachers at elementary school, middle school, and high school to clarify that the level of the terms are appropriate to students. The results of this study show that accurate scientific terms were 68.5%, and many of students had difficulty in understanding those scientific terms in the panels because of unfamiliarity. Therefore, in order to make students get more interest and better understanding, it is proposed to minimize scientific terms and to substitute them to casual terms which were related with practical life.

The meaning and role of science culture based on such values as rational thinking, creativity, critical validation has been growing in the process of discussing various social problems. In order to diffuse science culture, it is important to sustain citizen's activeness by providing contents which can induce interest on the base of two-way communication between public and experts and to support citizen activities performed voluntarily. To that end, various people such as scientist, government policymaker, communicator, those in charge of culture and art, exhibition curator should make up collaboration system and such requirement as motivation, leadership, agreement between the participants, communication, trust relationship is also to be met properly in order to proceed collaboration efficiently. This study reviews how these factors are coming true in governmental project for science culture and develops proposal for improvement on the base of opinions collected through expert meetings, interviews, workshop and data research. In addition, it explains that government must strengthen scientific cultural project personnel and lay infra such as communications hub, regional center, platform and improve the business selection method to promote competition and collaboration among project participants with reformation of reward and regulatory systems. It is performed to suggest comprehensive ways to increase efficiency of project for science culture out of not the deficit model which regard public as passive acceptant but context model or PES(public engagement in science) that take public who focus his attention and participate actively into account.

In this study, we are trying to verify humidity control capability of the exhibition environment of cultural property by measuring adsorption and desorption performance, the control ability of harmful substances by the adsorption experiments of harmful gases. In the experiment of adsorption and desorption performance, in the low humidity area, Artsorb desorbed overwhelmingly more than activated carbon whereas activated carbon absorbed more. Adsorption speed was faster slightly in Artsorb absorption speed was similar in both. In the middle humidity area, absorption by artsorb was slightly more and desorption was similar in both so characteristic of Artsorb didn't appear. Also, Adsorption speed was faster in activated carbon but in the process of desorption, the speed of Artsorb was faster. In adsorption experiment of harmful substances, the concentration in the environment with activated carbon was lower than one with Artsorb, but the difference appeared small. And as a result of observation of the difference in concentration due to adsorption of harmful gas by the change in the metal specimen, the most change was shown in lead specimen and the color difference between the lead specimens of the activated carbon and Artsorb appeared greatly.
