Vertebral artery loop formation causing encroachment on cervical neural foramen and canal is a rare cause of cervical radiculopathy. We report a case of 61-year-old woman with vertebral artery loop formation who presented with right shoulder pain radiating to her arm for 2 years. Plain radiograph and computed tomography scan revealed widening of the right intervertebral foramen at the C5-6 level. Magnetic resonance imaging and angiogram confirmed the vertebral artery loop formation compressing the right C6 nerve root. We had considered microdecompressive surgery, but the patient's symptoms resolved after conservative management. Clinician should keep in mind that vertebral artery loop formation is one of important causes of cervical radiculopathy. Vertebral artery should be visualized using magnetic resonance angiography in suspected case.

The ionospheric strom evolution process was monitored during the 18 August 2003 magnetic strom over China, through inversion of the ionospheric electron density from GPS observations. The temporal and spatial variations of the ionosphere were analysed as a time series of ionospheric electron density profiles. Results show that the main ionospheric effects of the storm over China under consideration are: the positive storm phase effect usually happens in the low latitudinal ionospheric; the negative storm phase effect occurs in the middle latitude, and the equatorial anomaly structure can be found as well.

The current study designs the mission orbit of the lunar CubeSat spacecraft to measure the lunar local magnetic anomaly. To perform this mission, the CubeSat will impact the lunar surface over the Reiner Gamma swirl on the Moon. Orbit analyses are conducted comprising ${\Delta}V$ and error propagation analysis for the CubeSat mission orbit. First, three possible orbit scenarios are presented in terms of the CubeSat's impacting trajectories. For each scenario, it is important to achieve mission objectives with a minimum ${\Delta}V$ since the CubeSat is limited in size and cost. Therefore, the ${\Delta}V$ needed for the CubeSat to maneuver from the initial orbit toward the impacting trajectory is analyzed for each orbit scenario. In addition, error propagation analysis is performed for each scenario to evaluate how initial errors, such as position error, velocity error, and maneuver error, that occur when the CubeSat is separated from the lunar orbiter, eventually affect the final impact position. As a result, the current study adopts a CubeSat release from the circular orbit at 100 km altitude and an impact slope of $15^{\circ}$, among the possible impacting scenarios. For this scenario, the required ${\Delta}V$ is calculated as the result of the ${\Delta}V$ analysis. It can be used to practically make an estimate of this specific mission's fuel budget. In addition, the current study suggests error constraints for ${\Delta}V$ for the mission.

The Ayu Trough, located in the southern end of the Philippine Sea, represents a divergent boundary between the Philippine Sea and the Caroline Plates. A detailed geophysical survey was carried out in the Ayu Trough by R/V Onnuri. Topographically, the Ayu Trough resembles an slow spreading ridge. The trough can be divided into three sections: the south $(0^{\circ}-1^{\circ}30'N),\;middle\;(1^{\circ}30'-4^{\circ}N)$, and north $(4^{\circ}-6^{\circ}30'N)$. The seafloor in the middle section is characterized by features asymmetric with respect to the axis. These features were probably produced by NW-SE and NNW-SSE extensions and seem to support the argument that the opening of the Ayu Trough occurred in an oblique fashion. Farther south, a long transform fault but with a short offset defines the boundary between middle and southern sections. The axial depth increases a stepwise to the south of $1^{\circ}30'N$. A clear difference can be seen between the southern and middle sections with the latter exhibiting much higher mantle Bouguer anomaly values in the axial region. The anomaly indicates that the axial crust perhaps experienced a much higher degree of extension in the middle than in the southern section. The analyses of magnetic field data reveal that the region beyond 100km exhibits considerable variations, whereas the magnetic anomalies within 100km from the trough axis are very much subdued. This observation suggests that the opening of the Ayu Trough involved an initial stage of rifting of existing volcanic arcs, followed by production of new seafloor.

향후 발생할 수 있는 자연재해의 기초 자료 확보를 위해 아오가시마섬 지역의 화산 구조를 연구하였다. 아오가시마섬은 일곱개의 섬이 분포하는 이즈열도의 최남단에 위치하고 있는 화산섬으로 효율직인 탐사를 위하여 헬리콥터를 이용한 항공 벡터 자기이상 탐사를 수행하였다. 일반적으로 화산섬의 자기구조를 연구하기 위해서는 총자기이상을 이용하게 되는데 이는 본질적인 오차를 내포하고 있다. 총자기이상은 물리적 특성을 정확히 반영하지 못하기 때문에 맥스웰방정식이나 라플라스 방정식을 만족하지 못하며, 물리적으로 정확한 해석을 수행하기 어려운 단점을 가지고 있다. 또한, 해석을 위하여 한 방향으로 투영된 총자기이상값을 사용하기도 하여 이 과정에서 발생하는 오차 때문에 해석상의 오류가 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 문제점을 보완하기 위하여 이번 연구에서는 벡터 자기이상값을 직접 측정 하였으며, 이를 이용하여 보다 신뢰성 높은 아오가시마섬의 3차원 자기이상 특성을 연구하였다. 이번 연구의 해석결과를 간단히 정리하면, 1A/m 이하의 자화강도를 보이는 지역은 아오가시마섬 남서쪽에 분포하고 있으며, 그 심도는 1-2 km로 해석되었다. 이러한 낮은 자화강도를 보이는 지역은 화산분기 작용의 특성을 고려할 때, 화산분기 작용이 발생했던 지역으로 생각된다.

Anomalies of anterior cerebral artery (ACA) include aplasia, hypoplasia and variations in number. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is a non-invasive diagnostic technique for assessment of anomalies of cerebral arteries. The aim of the study was to determine the role of MRA in detection of variants of ACA in adults. This study is an observational retrospective study. This study included forty-nine adult cases (28 males and 21 females), mean age 48±12.9 SD with anomalies of ACA in MRA. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and MRA were done to all patients. Cerebral MRA and magnetic resonance images were evaluated for frequency and distribution of variants of anterior cerebral arteries, associated aneurysms and infarctions. Odds ratios (ORs) and relative risk were calculated to determine risk of occurrence of cerebral infarctions in patients with anomalies of ACA. Hypoplasia of ACA was the commonest anomaly of ACA (51% of cases). Risk of occurrence of cerebral infarctions was higher in cases with azygos variant (OR, 3.3; P=0.35) than in those with hypoplastic ACA (OR, 2; P=0.58). MRA was highly reliable in identification of different variants of ACA and concomitant vascular changes.

The position of any point on the earth's surface can be. represented in the spherical coordinates by surface spherical harmonics. Since geomagnetic field is a function of position on the earth, it can be also expressed by spherical harmonic analysis as spherical harmonics of trigonometric series of $a_m({\theta})$ cos $m{\phi}$ and $b_m({\theta})$ sin $m{\phi}$. Coefficients of surface spherical harmonics, $a_m({\theta})$ and $b_m({\theta})$, can be drawn from the components of the geomagnetic field, declination and inclination, and vice versa. In this paper, components of geomagnetic field, declination and inclination in the Korean peninsula are obtained by spherical harmonic analysis using the Gauss coefficients calculated from the world-wide magnetic charts of 1960. These components correspond to the values of normal geomagnetic field having no disturbances of subsurface mass, structure, and so on. The vertical and total components offer the zero level for the interpretation of geomagnetic data obtained by magnetic measurement in the Korean peninsula. Using this zero level, magnetic anomaly map is obtained from the data of airborne magnetic. prospecting carried out during 1958 to 1960. The conclusions of this study are as follows; (1) The intensity of horizontal component of normal geomagnetic field in Korean peninsula ranges from $2{\times}10^4$ gammas to $2.45{\times}10^4$ gammas. It decreases about 500 with the increment of $1^{\circ}$ in latitude. Along the same. latitude, it increases 250 gammas with the increment of $1^{\circ}$ in longitude. (2) Intensity of vertical component ranges from $3.85{\times}10^4$ gammas to $5.15{\times}10^4$ gammas. It increases. about 1000 gammas with the increment of $1^{\circ}$ in latitude. Along the same latitude, it decreases. 150~240 gammas with the increment of $1^{\circ}$ in longitude. Decreasing rate is considerably larger in higher latitude than in lower latitude. (3) Total intensity ranges from $4.55{\times}10^4$ gammas to $5.15{\times}10^4$ gammas. It increases 600~700 gammas with the increament of $1^{\circ}$ in latitude. Along the same latitude, it decreases 10~90 gammas. with the increment of $1^{\circ}$ in longitude. Decreasing rate is considerably larger in higher latitude as the case of vertical component. (4) The declination ranges from $-3.8^{\circ}$ to $-11.5^{\circ}$. It increases $0.6^{\circ}$ with the increment of $1^{\circ}$ in latitude. Along the same latutude, it increases $0.6^{\circ}$ with the increment of l O in longitude. Unlike the cases of vertical and total component, the rate of change is considerably larger in lower latitude than in higher latitude. (5) The inclination ranges from $57.8^{\circ}$ to $66.8^{\circ}$. It increases about $1^{\circ}$ with 'the increment of $1^{\circ}$ in latitude Along the same latitude, it dereases $0.4^{\circ}$ with the increment of $1^{\circ}$ in longitude. (6) The Boundaries of 5 anomaly zones classified on the basis of the trend and shape of anomaly curves correspond to the geologic boundaries. (7) The trend of anomaly curves in each anomaly zone is closely related to the geologic structure developed in the corresponding zone. That is, it relates to the fault in the 3rd zone, the intrusion. of granite in the 1st and 5th zones, and mountains in the 2nd and 4th zones.

Mariana 해령 후열도 분지내에 위치하고 있는 NW Rota-1과 Esmerala Bank의 지형 및 자력특성을 연구하고 열수분출대의 위치를 추정하기 위하여 2007년 9월에 한국해양연구원 온누리호를 이용하여 획득한 정밀해저지형자료 및 해상자력탐사자료를 함께 분석하였다. NW Rota-1 해산의 전체적인 모양은 원뿔 형태이며, 정상부의 수심은 약 500 m이다. NW Rota-1 해산에서는 급경사나 큰 계곡과 같은 지형적 특성은 보이지 않지만 남동쪽 방향에 불규칙한 지형이 발달해 있다. Esmeralda Bank의 전체적인 모양은 서쪽 방향이 열린 칼데라의 형태를 띠고 있다. Esmeralda Bank의 정상부 수심은 약 50 m로 매우 얕다. Esmeralda Bank의 서쪽부분은 동쪽부분보다 경사가 더 급하고 지형의 기복이 심하게 나타나며, Bank 생성 후 무너져 내렸거나 침식에 의해 형성된 것으로 보이는 계곡이 관찰된다. NW Rota-1 해산과 Esmeralda Bank의 자기이상분포는 두 지역 모두 북쪽에 저이상이 나타나고 남쪽에 고이상이 분포하며 정상부에서는 급격한 자기변화를 보이고 수심이 깊은 기저부에서는 완만한 자기변화가 나타난다. NW Rota-1 해산 정상부에서 저자화강도이상대가 나타나며 이 저이상대를 둘러싸고 남쪽과 북쪽으로 주변보다 높은 자화강도 이상이 관측되는데 이는 이 해저산의 화구륜과 관계가 있는 것으로 생각된다. Esmeralda Bank는 정상부와 서쪽에 저자화강도이상대가 분포하고 있다. NW Rota-1와 Esmeralda Bank 정상부의 저자화강도이상대에서 열수분출대가 존재할 가능성이 있다.

On board satellite magnetometer measures all possible magnetic components, such as the core and crustal components from the inner Earth, and magnetospheric, ionospheric and' its coupled components from the outer Earth. Due to its dipole and non-dipole features, separation of the respective component from the measurements is most difficult unless the comprehensive knowledge of each field characteristics and the consequent modeling methods are solidly constructed. Especially, regional long wavelength magnetic signals of the crust are strongly masked by the main field and dynamic external field and hence difficult to isolate in the satellite measurements. In particular, the un-modeled effects of the strong auroral external fields and the complicated behavior of the core field near the geomagnetic poles conspire to greatly reduce the crustal magnetic signal-to-noise ratio in the polar region relative to the rest of the Earth. We can, however, use spectral correlation theory to filter the static lithospheric and core field components from the dynamic external field effects that are closely related to the geomagnetic storms affecting ionospheric current disturbances. To help isolate regional lithospheric anomalies from core field components, the correlations between CHAMP magnetic anomalies and the pseudo-magnetic effects inferred from satellite gravity-derived crustal thickness variations can also be exploited, Isolation of long wavelengths resulted from the respective source is the key to understand and improve the models of the external magnetic components as well as of the lower crustal structures. We expect to model the external field variations that might also be affected by a sudden upheaval like tsunami by using our algorithm after isolating any internal field components.

자력탐사 해석에 있어서 Slope, graphical, spectral 및 Fourier 해석 등을 포함한 많은 심도계산 방법들이 연구 발표되었다. 그러나 Peters의 half-slope 및 Vacquier 둥의 maximum-slope 방법들이 석유 탐사에 종사하는 지구물리학자들 간에 인기가 있고 널리 사용되고 있다. Slope 방법은 그 적용이 간단하고 쉬울 뿐만 아니라 대체적으로 신뢰성 있는 결과를 준다. Spectral 방법은 평균 깊이의 추정에는 빠르고 효과적이기는 하지만 고립된 개개 자력이상에 적용될 때 믿을 수 없는 결과가 나온다. Spectral 방법의 문제점을 줄이고 결과의 정확도를 높이기 위해서 이 방법의 신뢰도와 적용한계점에 대한 논의를 제시한다.
