  • Geomagnetism was used to control the attitude of the small scientific satellite at low altitude in sun-synchronous orbit. First, we analyzed the telemetry data. The rotation state of the satellite, can be known from the magnitude and variations of the magnetic field which is measured from the 3 axis magnetometer. In axisymmetric case, it is possible to control the attitude of the satellite by changing the rotation velocity of each 3 axis. The algorithm and the program were developed to calculate the supply time of the current operating the magnetorquer. This attitude control can be applied when the satellite is in tumbling motion and after passive control is attained by the Gravity gradient boom.

  • A daylighting system includes three parts; light collector, light transformer and light distributor. A DBLP(Double blind light pipe) daylighting system consists of a double blind light collector, a mirror duct type light transformer and a prism film light pipe distributor. The double blinds for a light collection are used to track the sun's altitude and azimuth movements throughout the day. Behind both sets of blinds is the light transformer, which is based on a rectangular cone shaped light duct. The light transformer was designed to efficiently deliver the light into the light pipe within a 30 degree radial spread for the efficient light into the distributor. In this study, DBLP system efficiency was simulated, evaluated and optimized by Tracepro as a popular ray trace light design simulation program. The results indicated that DBLP system efficiency evaluated a maximum 22.4% in case of Spring/Fall season solar noon time. While the overall average system efficiency in the morning and afternoon is evaluated about 10%.

  • Lindera obtusiloba (Lauraceae) is a dioecious tree that is widely distributed in the low-altitude montane forests of East Asia, including Korea. Despite its various pharmacological properties and ornamental value, the genetic diversity and population structure of this species in Korea have not been explored. In this study, we selected 6 nuclear and 6 chloroplast microsatellite markers with polymorphism or clean cross-amplification and used these markers to perform genetic diversity and population structure analyses of L. obtusiloba samples collected from 20 geographical regions. Using these 12 markers, we identified a total of 44 alleles, ranging from 1 to 8 per locus, and the average observed and expected heterozygosity values were 0.11 and 0.44, respectively. The average polymorphism information content was 0.39. Genetic relationship and population structure analyses revealed that the natural L. obtusiloba population in Korea is composed of 2 clusters, possibly due to two different plastid genotypes. The same clustering patterns have also been observed in Lindera species in mainland China and Japan.

  • When a target locates at low altitude over a curved earth surface and far away from a radar, we examine the accuracy of the conventional formulations to compute the radar echo signal. The 4-ray model is used to calculate the scattering by the target to consider the ground plane effect. In this paper, the diffracted wave is not included. Based on the required parameters able to be calculated by known equations for the estimation of the wave propagation phenomena, the radar echo signal is computed and verified by comparing with measured data sets.

  • Solar heat flux data is needed for thermal load prediction of launch vehicle. In order to predict the solar flux, several solar flux models have been compared and a new model is developed. Most of the models can predict well the direct solar flux, but show some errors in the scattered solar flux. The newly developed model considered isotropic and anisotropic scattered solar fluxes, and the predicted solar flux agreed well with the measured. Because the present model can be used at any longitude, latitude, day and altitude, the model would be an useful tool to predict the thermal load of the launch vehicle and the vehicles which have to consider the solar heat.

  • As a series of 'Performance Assessment of Building Envelopes I: Double Skin Facade', three types (interior, exterior, mixed (int.&ext.)) of lightshelves and RetroLux were examined in terms of $CO_2$ emissions. It is shown that the exterior lightshelf could achieve the most energy savings (9.6-38.7%) in general office buildings due to blocking solar radiation before entering the indoor space. However, the interior lightshelf is the worst (1.4-5.2%) among three of them. The RetroLux has two components: (1) sun-reflector (first louver component), (2) light shelf for improving daylight induction (second louver component). Due to these two components, solar radiation from windows is filtered depending on seasonal variation (solar altitude). Therefore, the RetroLux can reduce 18.0-27.9% of annual energy consumption (both cooling and heating), and $552-3,290Won/m^2{\cdot}yr$ of operation cost is saved.

  • In this paper, we introduce a concept of HEMP systems and analyze a shielding effectiveness by varying placements of the antenna elements. Maxwell's equations for the high frequency of the EMP is represented in the LOS. In order to investigate the effects of electromagnetic attenuations, a shielding room was constructed and employed to obtain measured data. Shielding effects were measured by changing frequency and the distance of receiving antenna. Each measured value was compared to U.S. standard and measuring method was simplified. shielding effects were measured by three different conditions of shielding room. Find the difference between forward measurement and reverse measurement and factors which affects the measurement in shielding room.

  • A unified numerical analysis including combustion was conducted in order to study on performance of ramjet propulsion. The geometry of concern includes the entire flow path of a ramjet extending from intake to exhaust nozzle. Acceleration mode and cruise mode were considered in several equivalence ratios. Pressure distributions, terminal shock train range at the intake, temperature distributions in the combustors, and fuel mass fraction at the nozzle exit were investigated for each flight mode.

  • Optical properties of sea water were studied in the entrance of Tokyo Bay, Japan. based on the data obtained from seven oceanographic stations in June. 1985. The observation of surface irradiance and underwater irradiance of sea water for eight kind of wavelength (378, 422, 481, 513, 570, 621, 653. 677nm) of sun light was conducted using the underwater irradiameter (Isigawa # SR-8). The mean att;enuation coefficient of the sea water was appeared to be 0.245 (0.042-0.776) and the attenuation co~fficient of the sea water for wavelength appeared such as 0.227 for 378 nm, 0.186 for 422 nm. O. 175 for 481 nm. O. 176 for 513 nm. O. 185 for 570 nm, 0.337 for 621 nm. O. 321 for 653 nm, O. 348 for 677 nm. The transparency was 7.0 m (5.5-9 m). water color was 10 (8.0-13.0) in the study area and the sun altitude was 60.95$^{\circ}$ (43.610-75.500). The relationship between attenuation coefficient (K) and transparency (D) was K = 2.63/ D (1.28/ D- 4. 87/D). The rate of light penetration for eight kind of wave Ie nth (378, 422. 481. 513. 570, 621, 653, 677 nm) were computed with reference to the surface light intensity respectively. The mean rate of light penetration in proportion to depths were 68.63% (46.02-86.07%) in 1 m layer, 18.40% (2.07 -48.48%) in 5m layer, 4.82% (0.042-22.30%) in 10m layer and 1.35% (0.01I-7.42%) in 20m layer. The rate of light penetration at the transparency layer with reference to the surface light intensity was shown as 10.39% (0.77-27.46%).

  • The performance tests of secondary throat supersonic exhaust diffusers were carried out by using scaled down model and gas nitrogen. It was performed to find the performance characteristics according to diffuser inlet length(Ld), secondary throat length(Lst), divergence length(Ls). There was few change by diffuser inlet length(Ld), but starting pressures of the diffusers were effected by secondary throat length(Lst), divergence length(Ls). It was confirmed that starting pressure was not changed over 8 Lst/Dst.
