This paper aims to find out whether or not elementary school students recognize and understand scientific units that they encounter in their everyday life. To select appropriate units for the survey, first, scientific units in elementary textbooks of science and other science related subjects were analyzed. Then it was examined how these units were related to the learners' daily life. The participants in the current survey were 320 elementary school 6th graders. A questionnaire consisted of 11 units of science, such as kg for mass, km for distance, L for volume, V for voltage, s for time, $^{\circ}C$ for temperature, km/h for speed, kcal for heat, % for percentage, W for electric power, pH for acidity, which can often be seen and used in daily life. The students were asked to do the following four tasks, (1) to see presented pictures and select appropriate scientific units, (2) to write reasons for choosing the units, (3) to answer what the units are used for, and (4) to check where to find the units. The data were analyzed in terms of the percentage of the students who seemed to well recognize and understand the units, using SPSS 17.0 statistical program. The results are as follows: Regarding the general use of the units, it was revealed that almost the same units were repeated in science and other subject textbooks from the same grade. With an increase of the students' grade more difficult units were used. As for the use of each unit, it was found that they seemed to relatively well understand what these units kg, km, L, $^{\circ}C$, kcal, km/h, and W stand for, showing more than 91% right. However, the units of V, s, in particular, %, and pH did not seem to be understood. With respect to the recognition of the units, most students did not recognize such units as L for volume and pH for acidity, probably because the units are difficult at the elementary level in comparison to other scientific units. The students indicated that schools were the best place where they could learn and find scientific units related to life, followed by shops/marts, newspapers/broadcasting, streets/roads, homes, and others in that order. The results show that scientific unit learning should be conducted in a systematic way at school and that teachers can play a major role in improving students' understanding and use of the units.

It has long been that the unit of oceanic salinity changed from permil (%o) to other unit. However, the middle-and high- school textbooks of science and earth science have still used %o as salinity unit that was defined a long time ago. The objectives of this study are to briefly discuss about the historical development of change in salinity unit and measurement techniques, to present differences between the salinity units of psu (practical salinity unit) and %o, and to address the need and validity for the correction of salinity unit in the textbooks. Twenty-seven kinds of textbooks based on the 7th National Curriculum were analyzed to investigate the expression of salinity unit and the definition of salinity. The results were compared with the usage of salinity units in the articles published in Journal of Korean Society of Oceanography from 1967 to 2008. The percentages by the use of %o were 96.3% in the text and 83.8% in the graphs or tables of the textbooks. By contrast, the scientific papers began to use psu from 1994 and then %o has seldom been used since 2004.

Computational science is at an early stage and is not yet fully active, and the high-performance computing required in the field of computational science is at present a special subject of parallel and distributed computing in computer science. Additionally, there are too few education courses which teach high-performance computing from basic to advanced levels. In this study, we derive the knowledge units needed to learn high-performance computing, an important research tool in computational science. Using ACM the Computer Science Curricula 2013 (CS2013), we examine the validity and reliability of 89 knowledge units and eleven knowledge units with high validity and reliability, after which nine core knowledge units and two optional knowledge units are proposed. The eleven proposed knowledge units are expected to contribute to the development of the high-performance computing curriculum necessary to teach computational science.

In this study, the effects of writing a weekly report on the students' self-directed learning, the attitudes toward science, and the academic achievements were examined. Two hundred and three students, second graders of a high school participated. Experimental group performed writing a weekly report, while the comparative group performed regular science lessons. The results of this study are as follows: First, MSLQ test showed that there was statistically significant difference in the self-directed learning skills(p<.05). For sub-factors of motivation region, such as internal goals, extrinsic goals, learning beliefs, task value, and self-efficacy and for sub-factors of learning strategy region, such as meta-cognition, peer learning, time management, critical thinking, and demonstrations showed statistically significant results. Second, TOSRA test showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the attitudes toward science (p>.05). However, for sub-factors, such as scientific inquiry and joy to science class showed statistically significant results. Third, there was no statistically significant difference in the academic achievement in Chemistry I class (p>.05). However, top and low achievement level showed statistically significant results.

The silkworm performs sexual reproduction for the production of its healthy offsprings from generations to generations. Parthenogenesis in the silkworm, Bombyx mori acquires immense use in the development of outstanding homozygouse lines with higher viability, hybrid vigour, combining ability and less phenotypic variability, and it can serve as a powerful tool in controlling sex of the offsprings as well as a useful tool in selection of breeding schemes. However, naturally occuring parthenogenesis in silkworm could not be found so far. Fortunately, artificial induction of parthenogenesis is possible in silkworm. So, it is very important to find out novel methods for induction of parthenogenesis. We investigated to attempt to get a novel parthenogenetic method. Accordingly, parthenogenetic studies on between unfertilized in vivo ovarian eggs of live silkworm moth(novel) and unfertilized in vitro ovarian eggs(conventional) taken out from live silkworm moth were investigated by hot water ($46^{\circ}C$), hot air ($46^{\circ}C$) and low temperature ($0^{\circ}C$ and $-20^{\circ}C$) treatments. The best ratio of parthenogenetic eggs was obtained with in vivo ovarian eggs of live silkworm moth rather than with in vitro ovarian eggs taken out from live silkworm moth in all the treatments. The optimum exposure time absolutely depended upon the temperatures of treatments and the forms of in vivo or in vitro ovarian eggs. From these results, we expect that in vivo artificial parthenogenetic treatments on live silkworm moth will be useful for the higher induction of parthenogenesis in the silkworm, B. mori.

This study aimed to analyze the historical evolution of general ideas concerning the particles that represent matter properties and matter changes divided into physical change and chemical change. In the science historical viewpoint, the general ideas of the base that represent matter properties has been variously revised the 5types. The definition of the matter change have also changed the 3 types. From the analysis of the definitions in secondary school science textbooks and general chemistry textbooks, we found that a lot of confusion of eras in the contents that define the concepts. Sometimes, the definition presented in one textbook was contradictory to the definitions in other textbooks. This tendency has been sustained in the textbooks from the 4th to 7th science curriculum.

본 논문은 40 kV 나노초 펄스발생을 위한 모듈형 solid-state Marx modulator(SSMM) 설계에 대해 기술한다. 가속기 및 플라즈마 어플리케이션과 같은 다양한 응용분야에 요구되는 전압 및 전류 사양을 만족시키기 위해 10 kV(출력 전압), 50 ns(펄스폭), 20 ns(상승&하강 시간), 100 kHz(반복률)의 사양을 만족하는 단위모듈기반으로 모듈형 설계를 제안한다. 독립적인 제어가 가능한 4개의 단위모듈을 기반으로 제안된 SSMM은 임의의 출력 파워 및 임피던스를 만족시킬 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 예를 들어, 모든 단위모듈의 위상을 같게 했을 때 출력전압을 증가시킬 수 있으며 각 모듈의 위상을 지연하였을 경우는 펄스의 반복률을 크게 높일 수 있다. 개발된 SSMM은 직렬 스택 MOSFET의 스위칭 성능을 향상시키기 위해 게이트 구동 회로는 동기 신호와 구동 전력을 제공하는 1 턴 변압기로 설계되었다. 출력 펄스의 폭과 하강시간을 최소화하기 위해 다이오드 대신 기생 커패시턴스에 저장된 에너지를 빠르게 방출하는 액티브 풀다운 회로가 적용되었다. 또한, 출력 펄스의 빠른 상승을 달성하기 위해 게이트의 라인 인덕턴스를 최소화하고 모든 게이트 신호의 동기화는 필수적이다. 개발된 ns급 펄스전원장치는 단위모듈을 기반으로 최대 펄스전압이 40 kV 까지 출력이 가능하며 이에 대한 상세설계 및 구현은 실험결과를 바탕으로 검증한다.
