  • Recently, an analysis of 3-micron spectra of CH4 line emission from our Gemini/GNIRS observations of Jupiter's polar regions yielded an unexpected result: The homopause (~1 microbar pressure level) located directly above the long-lasting 8-micron CH4 north-polar hot spot (Great 8-micron Hot Spot: GHS) is cool compared with the temperatures of nearby auroral regions (Kim et al. 2017). Most of the 8-micron emission of the GHS originates from CH4 at the ~1 mbar level (i.e., deeper in the stratosphere, where cooling time is several years), much longer than at the altitude of the homopause. We propose a mechanism to explain the temperature difference: locally-fixed and transient, but energetic auroral particles, which can penetrate to the 1 mbar level and deposit energy there creating and maintaining the GHS. For Saturn, thus far we have not detected distinctive 8-micron nor 3-micron CH4 hot spots in the polar regions. We will present a possible implication for this difference between Jupiter and Saturn.

  • The polar region is in the limelight for an academic worth as well as plenty of natural resources. The study on the polar region was reviewed for better understanding of the polar region and its rock properties. The antarctica has a windy and dry climate along with the lowest temperature on the earth. The thermal distribution according to depth in the area was reported: The freezing-thawing process was repeated in shallow depth, and the temperature falls down below zero under the specific depth. There is a great temperature difference between the atmosphere and rock. A research reported for the degree of weathering of the antarctic slope by using Schmidt hammer and Taffoni test. The rock specimens weathered by repeated freezing-thawing process were tested of the shore hardness and uniaxial compressive strength: The rock strength gradually decreased as the freezing-thawing process was repeated. The comprehensive mechanical properties of the polar region rocks and the relationship between the laboratory weathering test result and the real rock property change in the site remain as future research topics.

  • In this paper, physical properties and electrical characteristics of linear low density polyethylene(LLDPE) films blended with ethylene vinyl acetate(EVA), containing polar groups within it, were investigated to improve defects of polyethylene(PE) such like space charge accumulation and tree growth. Blending method changes super-structure of LLDPE, having a great influence on electrical characteristics. For analysis of physical properties, FTIR, XRD and DSC methods were executed, and for electrical characteristics, volume resistivity and dielectric strength were measured with the varying temperature. From the results, it is confirmed that bled specimens tend to be safe to varying temperature, and specially of 70:30 and 50:50 have a good performance.

  • This study tries to study the poetic beauty of the space deconstructed by the medium appearing in Moon Sam-seok's children's poetry to help with simultaneous education and guiding methodology. The research method is based on the assumption that semiotics spatial image is read. In other words, we intend to derive the poetic beauty of the space in which the great pole space built by is deconstructed by the intervention of by the medium term . Among Moon Sam-seok's series of works, the research text is "The Wind and the Fire," "The Wind and the Empty Bottle," "The Wind and Salt," "The Wind and the Rock." According to the study, the wind deconstructed a space that was differentiated by the presence or absence of matter into a "coexistence space." These poetic spaces symbolize poetic beauty as ideal places of life that coexist in a distinction but not discrimination. Second, the wind has eliminated the gap between alienation, suffering and solitude. In other words, the wind deconstructed poetic space produced poetic beauty with the 'space of communication' based on homogeneity of the nature of existence. In conclusion, Moon's poetic speech can be seen that he intended to express the discreteness of the poetic space as 'communication' and 'common life' by deconstructing it with deviation and convergence by introducing a medium.
