1、Part III.Other Forms of Conference Communication Chapter 13 Designing Conference PostersYou will learn:what a poster in the conference is.how to design a conference poster.why we need a conference poster.TASK OBJECTIVESTask I.:Inquiry/Cover/Thank-you Letters I.Read the following c onference posters

2、and familiarize yourself with the format and content.Task Preparation1.What are the main parts in a conference poster?2.What is the difference between a poster and a paper?3.According to your understanding,what is the function of a poster?KEY1.Title,Introduction,Materials and methods,Results,Conclus

3、ions,Literature cited,Acknowledgments,Further information2.A poster is very different from a paper or a talk,and so different techniques need to be used in its preparation.In particular,a poster is not a conference paper,and simply pinning a paper to a poster board usually makes a very poor poster.A

4、 poster board is typically 4 feet high and 6 feet wide,but the reverse orientation(tall and thin)is also seen.It is advisable to check beforehand on the size of the boards that will be available to you.A poster itself is a visual presentation comprising whatever the contributor wishes to display on

5、the poster board.Usually,a poster is made up entirely of sheets of paper pinned or attached with velcro strips to the board,but there is no reason why other visual aids should not be used.The pins or velcro are usually provided with the board by the conference sponsors.3.The purpose of a poster is t

6、o outline a piece of work in a form that is easily assimilated and stimulates interest and discussion.The ultimate aim is a fruitful exchange of ideas between the presenter and the people reading the poster,but you should not be disappointed if readers do not stop to chata properly prepared poster w

7、ill at least have given useful information and food for thought.Language Focus Read the following expressions used in inquiry/cover/thank-you letters.1.Research has also shown that fully justified text(like this paragraph)is harder to reader,so dont do this,even if it seems cool and professional loo

8、king.2.Although prevention has more recently taken a backseat to treatment,effective prevention is the key to reversing the epidemic.3.The purpose of the present study is to examine the co-occurrence of mental health disorders in this population,and to identify gender differences in the prevalence o

9、f these disorders.4.To generate humanized HNP transgenic mouse strain in order to examine the mechanism by which HNPs induce lung injury.I.Introducing the background and objective of a conference 1.Use a photograph,drawing,or flow chart if possible,supplemented with only a brief overview of your pro

10、cedure.2.The majority of data analysis was qualitative and entrenched in grounded theory(conducted with the NVivo analysis platform V.8.0,QSR international).3.A total of 544 participants were recruited at intake to 3 independent substance abuse treatment facilities in Ontario,Canada(each providing a

11、 wide range of intake,assessment and treatment services).4.Ten MS subjects with gait disturbance were enrolled and randomly assigned to receive RAS versus no intervention for 2 weeks.II.Introducing the methods 1.The overall layout in this arena should be visually compelling,with clear cues on how a

12、reader should travel through the components.2.Three core factors emerged which contributed most centrally to the capacity for effective sexual decision making,which would theoretically lead to greater success in low-risk sexual choices and decreased HIV transmission.III.Introducing the results 3.How

13、ever,a significant difference was found for those meeting criteria for other or multiple mental health disorders,with 24.6%of the women belonging to this category compared to 11.5%of the men.4.Squirrels were more likely to cross if detours were long,suggesting that squirrels assess distances of deto

14、urs and that predation risk,energetic,or both influence crossing decisions.1.These results suggest that augmenting social norms for men normalizing interpersonal communication in the context of casual sex could be vital to perceived self-efficacy and HIV prevention.2.The results of the study indicat

15、e participants enhanced understandings of definition of goals and objectives as well as their perceived confidence in mastering goals and objectives writing.Introducing the results 3.In this study,women were found to have a significantly greater prevalence of mood disorders,anxiety disorders,eating

16、disorders,and mental health disorders overall.4.These preliminary results suggest a beneficial effect of RAS on gait performance in MS patients,but need to be confirmed on a larger sample.1.I would like to thank my advisor,Sven Koenig,for his help with this research.I thank my committee members for

17、their time and guidance.2.We wish to thank the National Science and Technology Development Agency of Thailand(NSTDA)and the National Electronics and Computer Technology Center of Thailand(NECTEC)for the valuable sponsorship without which the project would not have been implemented.Introducing the ac

18、knowledgement 3.Particular appreciation goes to Dr.Erik Schleef not only for the countless hours of rough draft reading as it was in progress,inspiring suggestions,encouragement,and great patience with my seemingly endless revisions and questions,but also for the immeasurable intellectual input and

19、lively discussion throughout the duration of this project in his office.4.First of all,we are grateful to the organizers of INTERACT 2005,who have granted us the valuable opportunity to hold our Workshop“International COST294 Workshop on User Interface Quality Models(UIQM)”in conjunction with the co

20、nference,and also provided the timely support for printing this Workshops Proceedings.Posters are a special type of presentation.When well designed,they are not simply journal papers pasted onto boards,nor are they mounted sets of presentation slides.The purpose of scientific posters is to present w

21、ork to an audience who is walking through a hallway or exhibit.In poster presentations at conferences,the presenter usually stands next to the poster,thus allowing for passers-by to engage in one-on-one discussions with the presenter.So then what makes for an effective poster?There are some DOs and

22、DONTs for the writing of an attracted conference poster:Tips and Notes 1.The number one mistake is to make your poster too long.Densely packed,high word-count posters attract only those viewers who are excited by manuscripts pasted onto walls,and you typically dont want to talk to those types of peo

23、ple.Theyre weird.Aim for 800 words,and remember that less than that is fine,too.2.Avoid titles with colons if you can.3.Sentence case is the also the easiest to read even if you dont have format information to preserve.4.Do not add bullets to section headings.The use of a bolded,larger font is suffi

24、cient for demarcating sections.5.The width of text boxes should be approximately 40 characters(on average,11 words per line).Lines that are shorter or longer are harder to read quickly.6.Avoid blocks of text longer than 10 sentences.7.Whenever possible,use lists of sentences rather than blocks of te

25、xt.8.Use italics instead of underlining.Underlining draws too much attention to the word.9.When you have quotations,make sure your software hasnt used the“double prime”glyph,instead.Double primes are used for inches(e.g.,511),and mathematical formulas.10.The best programs for designing large-format

26、posters are page layout applications such as:QuarkXPress,InDesign,LaTeX,Scribus.Complete the following conference poster by translating Chinese into English.Task Realization1.(本研究的目的是)2.(至少参加过一个音乐疗法组)3.(采访保持现象学立场)4.(每个描述主题使用客户自己的语言)5.(这项研究揭示了一系列治疗因素)Task RealizationKEY1.The purpose of the study was2
