  • This paper proposes the method that increases the accuracy for tagging word meaning by creating sense tagged data automatically using machine readable dictionaries. The concept of meaning group is applied here, where the meaning group for each meaning of a target word consists of neighbor words of the target word. To enhance the tagging accuracy, the notion of concentration is used for the weight of each word in a meaning group. The tagging result in SENSEVAL-2 data shows that accuracy of the proposed method is better than that of existing ones.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate how a science magazine played a role in filling the gap between scientists and the general public, and how it contributed to science popularization. We analyzed the linguistic features of the texts used in a science magazine. We used 12 articles (six written by journalists, and six written by scientists) from the Science Donga. Register analysis was conducted in order to define the linguistic features of the texts in terms of ideational meaning, interpersonal meaning and, textual meaning. Results of this study are as follows: (1) the articles written by journalists used a higher mental and verbal processes in which the conversations and thoughts of scientists were expressed. (2) Human agents were relatively explicit in the journalists' articles. However, they were implicit or omitted in the articles of scientists. (3) Interrogative sentences and inclusive imperative sentences, and even omissions were frequently found in the journalists' articles whereas scientists' articles mainly used declarative statements. (4) The clause density of journalist' articles and scientists' were similarly lower than that of science textbooks. (5) The information structure revealed by the patterns of Theme and Rheme that the journalists' articles used in science magazines was simpler than that of science textbooks, while the structure of scientists' articles was more complex than that of journalists'. Based on the linguistic features of the texts used in science magazines, we found that a science magazine contributes to science popularization in two faces: One is in that the articles of journalists present science contents in a way that the readers can follow with ease and feel well-acquainted. The other is that the modified articles of scientists help the general public get familiar with the culuture of science in terms of use of science language.

  • The first part of the paper concerneded about the history, meaning and function of the aromatherapy. And the next part is about the therapeutic effects by the inhalation fragrance or permeation of essential oil through the skin, which are all based on the recent experiments. Today, the aromatherapy is public interest in the world. And also many cosmetic companies have been making use of the aromatherapy as the concept of their new products. But any Korean manufacturer has not taken the application of the aromatherapy in the cosmetics. Why we can't do this. Therfore I try to explain this problem at the last part of the paper and also introduce some Aromatherapy products.

  • The 'Half outside and half inside(半表半裏)' is the part which is located between outside and inside, and it is regarded as the nickname of ShaoYang(少陽) in Sanhanlun(傷寒論). About the meaning of 'Half outside and half inside', many medical scientists agreed that the 'outside' is 'TaiYang(太陽)', but they didn't agreed the meaning of 'inside'. One group insisted the 'inside' is 'YangMing (陽明)', the other group instisted that 'TaiYin(太陰)'. To know which opinion is correct, I analyed the Kwigyung(歸經) of herbs in Soshihotang(小柴胡湯) which has a close relationship with ShaoYang, and it is proved that the Kwigyung of herbs is the Foot ShaoYang-GALL BLADDER Meridian(足少陽膽經), Hand TaiYin-LUNG Meridian(手太陰肺經), and Foot TaiYin-SPLEEN Meridian(足太陰脾經). So I concluded that the 'inside' is not 'YangMing' but 'TaiYin'.

  • The purpose of this study is to examine the practice of scientists from the perspective of Ian Hacking's 'creation of phenomena'. Scientific phenomena, according to Hacking, are regular and do not exist in nature without the intervention of scientists or experimental tools. This study tries to derive scientific educational meaning by analyzing the thoughts and episodes of the 'Sontanda (inter-individual variability)' phenomenon experienced by four life scientists. The Sontanda phenomenon is a common term used by scientists to describe phenomena in which findings do not appear consistently even when studies are carried out using the same experimental procedure and materials. The following four educational implications were discovered as a result of the research. First, we confirmed the importance of embodied knowledge, or non-verbal knowledge, which solves issues by making appropriate judgments and reactions at all times, rather than simply becoming accustomed to the experimental method. This argues that propositional knowledge and non-verbal knowledge should be handled equally in order to provide students with a practical scientific inquiry. Second, we tried to reconsider the picture of the experiment. The phenomenon revealed in the interviews of scientists is rare, and it takes a long time to stabilize the phenomenon. On the other hand, the image of school experiments is always positive and consistent, necessitating a shift in perspective. Third, the precise meaning of scientific practice could be confirmed. This study confirms that scientists use their knowledge effectively in line with the circumstances, and we examined strategies to apply scientific practice to school instruction based on this. Finally, by provoking uncertainty, the Sontanda phenomena may give students with an opportunity to engage in meaningful scientific involvement. By breaking away from the cookbook experiment, this study expects school experimental education to help in efforts to experience scientific practice.

  • With increasing interest on scientists and the influence of science technology, their role in the modem society has been expanding. Scientists work in the laboratory as researchers, work in their expertise area as professionals, and work socially as social agents. Scientists are responsible to keep up the regulations during the research, and also are responsible for the results of the research. Therefore, there is a need of contemplation in terms of what their identity is and what their responsibilities are. Despite of this need, there hasn't been much discussion or education on the scientists social role or responsibilities as of now. This study purported to contemplate on the scientists role and responsibility, its qualification, and what it means to be a scientist as a social agent. Also the study further explored the efficient educational strategies and methods relevant to the contemplated issues.

  • 인체의 신경조직에서 정보를 전달하기 위해서 발생하는 Signal인 spontaneous firing의 origin을 조사하기 위해서 Hodgkin-Huxley의 수학적 모델을 기초로 하여 Simulation을 하였다. 그 모델의 Parameter인 Stimulus current를 zero로 함으로써 생리학적으로는 stimulus없이 어떤 특정한 근육근 등에서 발생되는 spontaneous firing의 경우가 되었고 또한 physical meaning들을 포함하고 있는 parameter들의 상호 독립적 상태를 초래하여 그 firing의 origin을 연구할수 있게 되었다. 이 simulation을 통하여 얻어진 수확들은 origin에 대한 조사 연구뿐만 아니라 많은 새로운 사실의 발견에도 존재한다. 그 예로서는 이 simulation이 stimulus 없이 spontaneous firing을 얻은 최초가 되며 이 분야에 명성있는 학자들이 simulation을 통해서는 매우 제한된 수의 firing만을 얻을수 있다고 단언했으나 그 반증이 여기에서 입증되었고 leakage conductance의 중요성을 예측하게 한다. 특히 leakage potential이 firing의 수를 조정할수 있다는 것은 특이한 발견이다.

  • The purpose of the domestic physician scientist support program is to promote the development of various biotechnology. Therefore, it can be said that examining whether the purpose of support is being faithfully implemented has an important meaning for the future domestic biotechnology development ecosystem. Therefore, this study limited the subject of analysis to 79 MD-PhD experts who participated or participated in doctor scientist programs at major universities in Korea. Among them, a total of 25 researchers, one researcher from each classroom in parasitology, microbiology, pharmacology, biochemistry, physiology, and anatomy, which had the highest paper citations in the last five years (2016-2021), were selected to examine the relationship between joint research. It was selected as the subject of review. As a result, 25 selected pseudo-scientists(MD-PhD) identified domestic and foreign researchers who participated as co-researchers when publishing in overseas academic journals for the last 5 years(2016-2021), and identified the affiliation and name of the top 5 among them, as well as the pseudo-scientist(MD-PhD), it was possible to identify the relationship of a total of 123 co-researchers(excluding 2 missing values) of the top 5 co-researchers with a high degree of cooperation with respect to the researcher(25 in total), and the collaboration of pseudo-scientists. Relationships, major researchers, and research institutes were examined. Nodexl Basic 2018 ver. (Microsof) was used for the analysis, and the relationship between researchers could be visualized by applying network analysis techniques.

  • Most of the content-based image retrieval systems focuses on similarity-based retrieval of natural picture images by utilizing color. shape, and texture features. For the neuroscience image databases, we found that retrieving similar images based on global average features is meaningless to pathological researchers. To realize the practical content-based retrieval on images in neuroscience databases, it is essential to represent internal contents or semantics of images in detail. In this paper, we present how to represent image contents and their related concepts to support more useful retrieval on such images. We also describe the operational semantics to support these advanced retrievals by using object-oriented message path expressions. Our schemes are flexible and extensible, enabling users to incrementally add more semantics on image contents for more enhanced content searching.
