본 연구는 과학영재를 위한 울산과학관을 활용한 RSM(Regional Science Educational Resource Map; 지역 과학교육 자원지도) 기반 천체관측 프로그램을 개발하여 과학영재를 대상으로 체험학습 프로그램을 운영함으로써 그 효과성을 검증하고자 계획되었다. 이를 위하여 울산과학관에 설치되어 있는 천체투영실, 별보미 천체관측실 및 주관측실 등의 첨단 시설 및 기자재를 활용하여 RSM 기반 천체관측 프로그램(10차시)을 개발하였고, 이를 과학영재학생을 대상으로 운영한 후 이들의 천문학적 공간개념과 자기주도적 학습능력에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 알아보았다. 본 연구에서 개발한 RSM 기반 천체관측 프로그램은 준비단계(2차시), 관측단계(6차시), 정리단계(2 차시) 등 3단계로 구성하였으며, 관측단계에서는 천체투영실을 활용한 3D 시뮬레이션 별자리 관측(2차시), 밤 하늘의 별자리 안시 관측(2차시), 천체망원경을 활용한 망원경 관측(2차시) 등으로 구성하여 지역 과학교육 자원을 많이 활용할 수 있도록 구성하였다. RSM 기반 천체관측 프로그램이 과학영재의 천문학적 공간개념 및 자기주도적 학습능력에 미치는 효과를 살펴보기 위해 연구 대상은 울산과학관에서 운영하고 있는 우주과학 영재교실(초 5학년) 20명을 선정하였다. 검사도구는 천문학적 공간개념 및 자기주도적 학습능력 검사지를 사용하였고, 연구의 결과 분석은 종속표본 t검증으로 분석하였다. 연구의 결과는 울산과학관을 활용한 천체관측 프로그램은 과학영재의 천문학적 공간개념(t=3.371, p=.003) 형성에 긍정적인 효과가 있었고(p<.05), 과학 영재의 자기주도적 학습능력(t=2.371, p=.028)에도 긍정적인 효과가 있었다(p<.05). 본 연구를 통해 RSM 기반 천체관측 프로그램은 과학영재들의 천문학적 공간개념 형성과 자기주도적 학습능력 신장에 도움이 된다는 것을 알 수 있었고, 특히 각 지역의 초, 중등 영재학급의 심화학습의 기회로써 RSM 기반 천체관측 프로그램을 활용할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

Graphene oxide (GO) was concurrently reduced and functionalized using long alkyl chain dodecyl amine (DA). The DA functionalized GO (DA-G) was assumed to disperse homogenously in linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE). Subsequently, DA-G was used to fabricate DA-G/LLDPE composites by melt mixing technique. Fourier transform infrared spectra analysis was performed to ascertain the simultaneous reduction and functionlization of GO. Field emission scanning electron microscopy analysis was performed to ensure the homogenous distribution and dispersion of DA-G in LLDPE matrix. The enhanced storage modulus value of the composites validates the homogenous dispersion of DA-G and its good interfacial interaction with LLDPE matrix. An increased in tensile strength value by ~ 64% also confirms the generation of good interface between the two constituents, through which efficient load transfer is possible. However, no significant improvement in glass transition temperature was observed. This simple technique of fabricating LLDPE composites following industrially viable melt mixing procedure could be realizable to developed mechanically strong graphene based LLDPE composites for future applications.

Consultation program for pharmaceutical development is a new system in which pharmaceutical companies meet and discuss scientific and/or regulatory issues with drug regulatory authority in the research process and before submitting new drug applications. This program helps pharmaceutical companies reduce uncertainties in the research and development and increase the possibilities of getting drug marketing approval. Developed countries such as US, EU, and Japan have implemented various forms of pre-submission meetings or consultation programs since the mid-1990s. The rapid development of technology in pharmaceutical R&D increases the importance of communication between drug development companies and drug regulatory authority in Korea, too. In designing the consultation program, it is desirable to focus on the stages of clinical trials which take the longest period of time and the biggest amount of money in the pharmaceutical R&D process. We suggested that results or recommendations by drug regulatory authorities in pre-submission meetings or consultations be formally documented and considered in review process. Explicit scientific reasons are required for changing the results from consultations.

This paper presents the perspective of the Structural Mechanics program of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) on the damage assessment of structures for the period 2006-2009 when the author was serving as Program Manager at AFOSR. It is found that damage assessment of structures plays a very important role in assuring the safety and operational readiness of US Air Force fleet. The current fleet has many aging aircraft, which poses a considerable challenge for the operators and maintainers. The nondestructive evaluation technology is rather mature and able to detect damage with considerable reliability during the periodic maintenance inspections. The emerging structural health monitoring methodology has great potential, because it will use on-board damage detection sensors and systems, will be able to offer on-demand structural health bulletins. Considerable fundamental and applied research is still needed to enable the development, implementation, and dissemination of structural health monitoring technology.

In the present study, the effect of GO in damping capacity of CF/epoxy laminates was studied via free vibration analysis. The composite laminates were manufactured by using vacuum assisted resin transfer molding technique. The damping properties of the prepared hybrid composites were determined in terms of natural frequency and damping ratio in free vibration test. The foremost aspire of this investigation was to compare the vibration properties i.e. natural frequency and modal damping of the prepared composites with the numerical results. The numerical study was carried out via FEA using $ANSYS^{TM}$ workbench software. The parametric study of the numerical models was also studied considering the beam free length and the beam thickness. It was found that the incorporation of GO enhanced the damping capacity of the composite and the variation of natural frequencies in mode1varied by 2-5% compared to the experimental study.

The city of 'G' has been made a number of achievements with its science program as a part of public library's cultural program during the last 5 years. Recently, the national science centre has been established in the same city, the debate is now needed whether the science program in the public library have reasons to be maintained or to be reduced. The aim of this research is on the operating strategies of the science program in the public library. The research methods include case studies of operational strategies in domestic and foreign science centre, the level of satisfaction of local citizen on the science program, the vision of science program in the advancement of public library in the $21^{st}$ century. In results, the research proposes that the science program in public library should be maintained, but with locally characterised programs. In addition, the study also advised on the provision of scientific information, the strengthened search functions, and the development of user-centred services for those in science fields.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of science activities using drawing on young children's scientific inquiry competences and scientific attitudes. The subjects of this research were a total of 40 young children at age 5 from two classes in G and C child care center which located in G city. The subjects were randomly assigned to two groups. The collected data were analyzed by t-test using SPSS program. The results of this study were as follow: First, experimental group which conducted the science activities using drawing showed significantly higher improvement in sub-factors of scientific inquiry competences, 'perseverance', 'creative', 'critical', and 'volunteering'. Second, experimental group which conducted the science activities using drawing showed significantly higher improvement in sub-factors of scientific attitudes, 'observing', 'measuring', and 'discussion'. Therefor, it might be concluded that science activities using drawing contributed to the development of scientific inquiry competences and scientific attitudes of young children.

The purpose of this study was to develop the ESD program related to creative-experience activity, and to examine the effect of its application. The program was composed of 13 sessions for fifth-grade class in elementary school, including all of the environmental, economic, and social aspects of ESD. This program was connected to the domains of creative hands-on activities, that is, career activities, club activities, self-regulated activities and voluntary service activities. The results was as follows. First, the experimental group to undergo the ESD program related to creative-experience activity did not show significant differences in environmental literacy compared to the control group, but it is proven that this program contributed to the improvement of learners' environmental emotion, skill, and participation. Second, the experimental group did not show significant differences in scientific attitude compared to the control group, but it was considered to affect the elementary students' criticism, self-esteem, and patience in positive and effective manner. In conclusion, more ESD program that cultivate elementary school students' environmental literacy need to be developed continuously, and more intensive research should be conducted to earn better understanding of ESD.
