Hyperadrenocorticism (HAC) is a common endocrinopathy among dogs that causes multisystemic signs. This study was conducted to evaluate cardiocirculatory, biochemical, and hemostatic parameters in dogs with HAC at diagnosis, in addition to verifying whether abnormal parameters could be controlled by initial treatment with trilostane. Fifteen dogs with HAC were assessed by systolic blood pressure measurement, electrocardiography, Doppler echocardiography, serum concentration of troponin I, and biochemical and hemostatic profile at diagnosis and after trilostane therapy. Unlike biochemical parameters, hemostatic and cardiocirculatory parameters were not significantly influenced by the onset of treatment. The authors believe that clinical treatment with trilostane for 3 to 4 months might not be sufficient for the stabilization of cardiocirculatory abnormalities such as hypertension. Therefore, dogs with HAC must receive cardiocirculatory monitoring at diagnosis and during drug treatment.

Rims of solar filaments often appear brighter than the background chromosphere, but their physical nature is still poorly known. Last year, we observed a filament with a bright rim. The rim was bright in H alpha but not in Ca II 8542 line. Using the cloud model, we inferred physical parameters of the region from the spectral profiles. As a result, we found that the Doppler width of the H alpha line is very large, which implies temperature as high as 50000K. In addition, the value of the source function of the H alpha line is 0.7 times the continuum intensity of background profile. These results suggest that the bright rims might be a region of intense heating, probably associated with a current sheet. To further investigate this possibility, we carried out more observations this summer. We will present new results obtained from the analysis of these observations and discuss the physical implication of these measurements on the nature of bright rims and the filaments.

High resolution windspeed profile measurements are needed in a weather radar to provide the reliable information of rapidly changing weather conditions. However, it is necessary to remove both stationary and moving clutter to obtain the accurate pulse pair estimates. To overcome these problems, a simple adaptive array antenna may be applied to clutter removal. Using the simulated weather and clutter data, the clutter cancellation capability is analyzed for a weather radar with an adaptive antenna. The pulse pair estimates obtained from the adaptive weather radar are compared with those of the raw data.

The flow characteristics of developing unsteady laminar flow in a square-sectional $180^{\circ}$ curved duct are experimentally investigated by using laser doppler velocimerty (LDV) system with data acquisition and processing system of rotating machinery resolver(RMR) and PHASE software. The major flow characteristics of developing laminar pulsating flows are presented by mean velocity profilel velocity distribution of secondary flow, wall shear stress distributions, entrance lengths according to dimensionless angular frequency($\omega^+$), velocity amplitude ratio($A^1$), and time-averaged Dean number($De_ta$). The velocity profiles and wall shear stress distribution of laminar pulsating flow with dimensionlessangular frequency show the flow characteristics of the quasi-steady laminar flow in a curved duct. The developing region of laminar pulsatile flows in a square-sectional $180^{\circ}$ curved duct is extended to the curved duct angle of approximately $120^{\circ}$ under the present experimental condition.

5th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Weather (AR5) predicts that recent severe hydrological events will affect the quality of water and increase water pollution. To analyze changes in water quality due to future climate change, input data (precipitation, average temperature, relative humidity, average wind speed, and solar radiation) were compiled into a representative concentration curve (RC), defined using 8.5. AR5 and future use are calculated based on land use. Semi-distributed emission model Calculate emissions for each target period. Meteorological factors affecting water quality (precipitation, temperature, and flow) were input into a multiple linear regression (MLR) model and an artificial neural network (ANN) to analyze the data. Extensive experimental studies of flow properties have been carried out. In addition, an Acoustic Doppler Velocity (ADV) device was used to monitor the flow of a large open channel connection in a wastewater treatment plant in Ho Chi Minh City. Observations were made along different streams at different locations and at different depths. Analysis of measurement data shows average speed profile, aspect ratio, vertical position Measure, and ratio the vertical to bottom distance for maximum speed and water depth. This result indicates that the transport effect of the compound was considered when preparing the hazard analysis.

This paper presents the method of measuring the feedback interference channel, which is developed between the transmit and receive antennas of a wireless repeater by receiving the transmit signal at the receive antenna of the identical repeater, and experiment results obtained by analyzing the measurements. This experiment uses 2 GHz WCDMA signal and is carried out near a highway. The high-speed mobiles on highways cause reflected signals with high Doppler frequencies and large energy. In order to characterize the feedback channel, the power delay profile and the scattering function are estimated by identifying the delay spread, the Doppler spread, the number of fingers, and the attenuation with delay. Since the feedback interference channel is constructed between the fixed TX and RX antennas, which is dependent upon the multipaths developed by moving or fixed objects around the antennas, the channel shows different properties comparing to the conventional channels between the base station and the mobile station. Therefore, the results presented in the paper are expected to provide guidelines for designing and evaluating wireless repeater systems.

원격탐사(remote sensing)란 관측 대상과의 접촉 없이 멀리서 정보를 얻어내는 기술을 말한다. 기상관측분야에는 이미 소다(SODAR) 장비가 폭넓게 사용되거 왔으나 최근 풍력자원평가(wind resource assessment)를 위한 풍황측정에 SODAR와 더불어 라이다(LIDAR)가 적극적으로 활용되기 시작하고 있다. 참고로 SODAR(SOnic Detection And Ranging)는 수직 및 동서 남북 방향으로 음파를 발생시키고 대기유동에 의해 산란 반사된 에코를 수신하여 진동수 변화와 반사에코 강도를 측정하여 각 방향의 에코자료를 벡터 합성함으로써 풍향 및 풍속을 산출하는 원리이다. 반면 LIDAR(Light Detection And Ranging)는 비교적 최근에 풍황측정 용도로 개발된 레이저 탐지에 바탕을 둔 원거리 센서로, 공기입자(먼지, 수증기, 구름, 안개, 오염물질 등)에 의해 산란된 레이저 발산의 도플러 쉬프트(Doppler shift)를 이용하여 풍향 및 풍속을 측정하는 원격탐사 장비이다. 풍력자원평가 측면에서 라이다는 그 정확도가 IEC61400-12에 의거한 풍황탑(met-mast) 측정자료 다수와의 비교검증 실측평가(Albers et al., 2009)를 통하여 입증된 바 있다. 한편 한국에너지기술연구원에서 운용 중인 라이다 시스템은 그림 1의 우측 그림과 같이 1초에 $360^{\circ}$를 스캔하여 50지점에서 반사되는 레이저를 스펙트럼으로 측정하되 설정된 관측높이에서 풍속은 샘플링 부피(sampling volume)의 평균값으로 정의된다. 그런데 샘플링 부피는 설정된 관측높이로부터 상하 12.5m, 총 25m의 높이구간에서 관측한 스펙트럼의 평균값을 그 중앙지점에서의 풍속으로 환산하는 알고리듬(algorithm)을 채택하고 있다. 따라서 비선형적으로 변화하는 풍속연직분포 관측 시 풍속환산 알고리듬에 의한 측정오차가 개입될 가능성이 존재하는 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 라이다에 의한 풍속연직분포 측정 시 샘플링 부피의 구간 평균화 과정에서 발생하는 불확도(uncertainty)를 정량적으로 분석함으로써 라이다에 의한 풍속연직분포 관측의 불확도를 정량평가하고자 한다.

Star forming galaxies found in the early universe exhibit asymmetric Lyα emission line that results from multiple scattering in a neutral thick medium surrounding the Lyα emission source. It is expected that emergent Lyα will be significantly polarized through a large number of resonance scattering events followed by a number of successive wing scatterings. In this study we adopt a Monte Carlo method to calculate the polarization of Lyα transferred in a very thick static slab of H_I. Resonantly scattered radiation associated with transitions between is only weakly polarized and therefore linear polarization of the emergent Lyα is mainly dependent on the number of off-resonant wing scattering events. The number of wing scattering events just before escape from the slab is determined by the product of the Doppler parameter a and the line center optical depth τ₀, which, in turn, determines the behavior of the linear polarization of Lyα. This result is analogous to the study of polarized radiative transfer of Thomson scattered photons in an electron slab, where the emergent photons are polarized in the direction perpendicular to the slab when the scattering optical depth is small and polarized in the parallel direction when the slab is optically thick. Our simulated spectropolarimetry of Lyα shows that the line center is negligibly polarized, the near wing parts polarized in the direction parallel to the slab and the far wing parts are polarized in the direction perpendicular to the slab. We emphasize that the flip of polarization direction in the wing parts of Lyα naturally reflects the diffusive nature of the Lyα transfer process in thick neutral media.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the local velocity acceleration in a boundary layer diffusion flame over a flat plate. In order to know the effect of separation on the local velocity acceleration, two typical cases, flows with and without separation, are considered. For these cases, flow visualization using paraffine smoke tracers has been made. Mean velocity and r.m.s. value of fluctuating velocity are measured by using a laser Doppler velocimeter. In addition, measurements of time-mean concentration and time-mean temperature have been made. Time-mean density profiles have been obtained from the data of concentration and temperature. The obtained results are summarized as follows : (1) In the case without separation, the local velocity acceleration is clearly observed near the visible flame zone for all flow conditions. On the while, in the case with serration, the local velocity acceleration is observed only at low free stream velocity and high fuel injection velocity. As increasing the free stream velocity or decreasing the fuel injection velocity, it is not distinctly observed in the mean velocity profile. (2) The r.m.s. value of fluctuating velocity is significantly decreased by combustion in the case with separation. But in the case without separation, the r.m.s. value is increased near the visible flame zone in comparison with cold flow. In both cases, the peak value of r.m.s. appeared just at the visible flame zone, where the mean velocity gradient is not too high.

In this paper, we present the basic design results for high-resolution radar development at S-band frequency that can precisely measure the miss distance between two targets. The basic system requirement is proposed for the design of a 3.5 GHz linear frequency-modulated (LFM) radar with maximum detection distance and distance resolution of 2 km and 1 m, respectively, and the specifications of each module are determined using the radar equation. Our calculations revealed a signal-to-noise ratio ${\geq}30dB$ with a bandwidth of 150 MHz, transmission power of 43 dBm for the power amplifier, gain of 26 dBi for the antenna, noise figure of 8 dB, and radar cross-section of $1m^2$ at a target distance of 2 km from the radar. Based on the calculation results and the theory and method of LFM radar design, the hardware was designed using software defined radar technology. The results of the subsequent field test are presented that prove that the designed radar system satisfies the requirements.
