We present a test of the emission statistics of active galactic nuclei (AGN), probing the connection between the red-noise temporal power spectra and multi-modal flux distributions known from observations. We simulate AGN lightcurves under the assumption of uniform stochastic emission processes for different power-law indices of their respective power spectra. For sufficiently shallow slopes (power-law indices (${\beta}{\leq}1$), the flux distributions (histograms) of the resulting lightcurves are approximately Gaussian. For indices corresponding to steeper slopes (${\beta}{\geq}1$), the flux distributions become multi-modal. This finding disagrees systematically with results of recent mm/radio observations. Accordingly, we conclude that the emission from AGN does not necessarily originate from uniform stochastic processes even if their power spectra suggest otherwise. Possible mechanisms include transitions between different activity states and/or the presence of multiple, spatially disconnected, emission regions.

본 연구는 구획공간화재에서 화재특성과 위치에 따른 공간내부의 열유속 특성을 파악하기 위해 ISO-9705 표준화재실의 40 % 크기로 축소된 공간에서 화재 실험을 수행하였다. 열유속의 측정은 Schimit-Boelter type 열유속계를 이용하였으며 화재실의 내부와 출입구쪽의 중앙바닥면에서 열유속이 각각 측정되었다. 실험에 사용된 연료는 천연가스, 헵탄, 톨루엔, 에탄올, 폴리스틸렌 등이다. 실험결과 화재발열량과 상층부의 온도가 증가함에 따라 화재실 내부 바닥에서의 열유속이 출입구쪽에 비해 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 또한 그을음의 생성이 많은 연료일수록 화재실 바닥면에서 열유속의 공간적인 편차가 상대적으로 크게 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 공간내 하층부에서의 열유속 분포는 화재가 성장함에 따라 화염 및 상층부에서 방출되는 복사열과 밀접한 관계가 있고 이는 상층부의 온도뿐만 아니라 연소가스의 조성이나 그을음 농도(soot concentration), 환기조건 등과 같은 화재특성에 크게 영향을 받는다는 사실을 파악하였다.

The radiation driven response function (R$\_$q/) for AP and HMX propellant was obtained and compared with experimental results by using a simple $\alpha$$\beta$γ flame model rather than with detailed chemistry. For an AP propellant, the profile of heat release was assumed by the experimental data. The calculated R$\_$q/ shows a frequency shift of the peak amplitude to the higher frequency and a decrease in the maximum amplitude as radiation increases. In addition, it was found the increase in the total flux could enhance the mean burning rate γ$\_$b/ while the phase differences between the radiation and resulting conduction could consequently reduce the fluctuating amplitude Δγ$\_$b/. Fortunately, this is the qualitative duplication of the behavior recently observed in the experiments of RDX propellants. For HMX, the response function R$\_$q/ has been calculated and showed a quite good agreement with the experimental data. Even though the fairly good agreement of R$\_$q/ with experimental ones, the unsteady behavior of HMX was not reproduced as the radiation input increased. This is due to lack of the material properties of HMX or the physical understanding of HMX burning at high pressure.

The temperature field of a counterflow non-premixed flame is investigated using thermocouples of two sizes. A thermal balance is performed on the thermocouple in order to calculate the magnitude of the radiation corrections involved. Both the thermocouple wire and bead are separately considered to be the relevant thermal surface to which convective heat transfer takes place, and from which radiation lasses occur. The flame is also simulated by using a detailed chemical kinetic mechanism in a previously developed computer code. The local thermo-physical properties of the gas mixture, required to calculate the corrections, are determined both from the simulation, and by approximating the properties of the mixture as those of molecular nitrogen at the measured temperatures. It is concluded that the thermocouple wire is the appropriate thermal surface to which radiation corrections apply, in the absence of information about the gas mixture, its properties can be reasonably approximated by those of nitrogen rm ($N_2$), and the radiation corrections are very sensitive to misalignments in the temperature and velocity fields.

In this paper, we present observations of the Space Radiation Detectors (SRDs) onboard the Next Generation Small Satellite-1 (NEXTSat-1) satellite. The SRDs, which are a part of the Instruments for the study of Stable/Storm-time Space (ISSS), consist of the Medium-Energy Particle Detector (MEPD) and the High-Energy Particle Detector (HEPD). The MEPD can detect electrons, ions, and neutrals with energies ranging from 20 to 400 keV, and the HEPD can detect electrons over an energy range from 0.35 to 2 MeV. In this paper, we report an event where particle flux enhancements due to substorm injections are clearly identified in the MEPD A observations at energies of tens of keV. Additionally, we report a specific example observation of the electron distributions over a wide energy range in which we identify electron spatial distributions with energies of tens to hundreds of keV from the MEPD and with energy ranging up to a few MeV from the HEPD in the slot region and outer radiation belts. In addition, for an ~1.5-year period, we confirm that the HEPD successfully observed the well-known outer radiation belt electron flux distributions and their variations in time and L shell in a way consistent with the geomagnetic disturbance levels. Last, we find that the inner edge of the outer radiation belt is mostly coincident with the plasmapause locations in L, somewhat more consistent at subrelativistic energies than at relativistic energies. Based on these example events, we conclude that the SRD observations are of reliable quality, so they are useful for understanding the dynamics of the inner magnetosphere, including substorms and radiation belt variations.

고체 추진제의 소화를 위한 연소실 압력 강하시 금속입자들에 의한 복사열전달에 동적소화에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. AP:Binder의 화학반응으로 발생하는 전도열 플럭스를 구하기 위해 화염모델을 사용하였으며, 금속입자들에 복사열 플럭스를 구하기 위해 연소흐름 모델을 사용하였다. 연소실은 크기가 무한대인 경우와 노즐에 의해 제한된 형태 두 가지를 선택하여 계산을 수행하였다. 계산에 사용된 추진제 조성을 AP:Al:CTPB=76:10:14이며 최종압력 이후, 총 열 플럭스 중 복사열 플럭스가 차지하는 비중은 5~6%정도로 나타났다. 연소실 크기가 무한대인 경우, 복사열전달을 고려한 경우의 임계 압력강하율이 복하열을 고려하지 않은 경우보다 45% 크게 나타났다. 이는 복사열전달이 동적소화에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 보여주는 것이다.

Geosynchronous electron flux dropouts are most likely due to fast drift loss of the particles to the magnetopause (or equivalently, the "magnetopause shadowing effect"). A possible effect related to the drift loss is the radial diffusion of PSD due to gradient of PSD set by the drift loss effect at an outer L region. This possibly implies that the drift loss can affect the flux levels even inside the trapping boundary. We recently investigated the details of such diffusion process by solving the diffusion equation with a set of initial and boundary conditions set by the drift loss. Motivated by the simulation work, we have examined observationally the energy spectrum and pitch angle distribution near trapping boundary during the geosynchronous flux dropouts. For this work, we have first identified a list of geosynchronous flux dropout events for 2007-2010 from GOES satellite electron measurements and solar wind pressures observed by ACE satellite. We have then used the electron data from the Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) spacecraft measurements to investigate the particle fluxes. The five THEMIS spacecraft sufficiently cover the inner magnetospheric regions near the equatorial plane and thus provide us with data of much higher spatial resolution. In this paper, we report the results of our investigations on the energy spectrum and pitch angle distribution near trapping boundary during the geosynchronous flux dropout events and discuss implications on the effects of the drift loss on the flux levels at inner L regions.

This experimental study represents the results of an analysis on the characteristics of flux density distributions in the focal region of solar concentrator. The characteristics of flux density distributions are investigated to optimally design and position a cavity receiver. This deemed very useful to find and correct various errors associated with a dish concentrator. We estimated the flux density distribution on the target placed along with focal lengths from the dish vertex to experimentally determine the focal length. It is observed that the actual focal point exists when the focal length is 2.17 m. We also evaluated the position of flux centroid, and it was found that there were errors within 2 cm from the target center. The total integrated power of 2467 W was measured under focal flux distributions, which corresponds to the intercept rate of 85.8%. As a result of the percent power within radius, approximately 90% of the incident radiation is intercepted by about 0.06 m radius.

연안습지 생태계에서 열에너지 교환 과정은 매우 중요하다. 지표 열에너지 평형을 이루는 요소인 순복사플럭스, 현열 플럭스, 잠열 플럭스 그리고 토양열 플럭스를 전라남도 고흥에 위치한 수평적으로 균질하다고 판단되는 지역인 고흥만 간척지에서 관측하고 분석하였다. 열의 수송을 평가하기 위해서 5회의 집중관측 기간에 대기 난류를 측정하였고, 특히 갈대로 덮여있는 간척지에서 지표층 열에너지 수지를 분석하기 위해서는 물과 매우 미세한 입자로 구성된 토양 그리고 계절에 따라 색깔과 밀도가 변하는 식생캐노피를 고려하였다. 순복사 플럭스, 현열 플럭스, 잠열 플럭스, 토양열 플럭스를 기존의 에너지 수지방정식에 적용하여 식생과 토양과 같은 지표면 특성에 따른 열 플럭스의 특징을 조사하여 습지의 기온조절 효과에 대해 알아보았다. 에너지 수지비로 식생 성장기에는 주로 잠열 플럭스에 의해 열이 대기로 전달되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 식생층은 열을 저장하여 기온의 일교차를 줄이는 역할을 한다. 여름철에 집중관측지의 기온이 주변 지역의 기온보다 보다 낮고 겨울철에는 다소높게 나타난 결과는 식생층을 포함하는 연안습지가 열환경을 조절함을 보여주었다.
