Using magnetic field and plasma moment data obtained by THEMIS satellites(A, D, and E), we selected 203 fast flow events accompanied by dipolarization in the near-Earth region( X(GSM) = -7 ~ -12 RE) and statistically examined their properties. It was found that most of the fast flows show the maximum velocity between 1 minute before dipolarization onset and 2 minutes after onset and proceed earthward and duskward. We also found that only the flows with low velocity of less than 400 km/s are observed at X > -8 RE, while the high velocity flows(as well as low velocity flows) are observed at the further tailward region(X < -8 RE). And most of the tailward flows are slow regardless of distance at X(GSM) = -7 ~ -12 RE. On the other hand, if we consider the fast flow as a bubble (Pontius and Wolf, 1990), the entropy parameter, PV5/3 is an important factor to describe the plasma sheet dynamics. Thus we investigated the relationship between the flow velocity and the amount of change in PV5/3 before and after dipolarization onset and found out that the dipolarizations with more depleted entropy parameter tend to show higher flow velocity. Also we examined how the magnetic field at geosynchronous orbit responds to the fast flow accompanied by dipolarization in the near-earth plasma sheet, using the measurements from GOES 11 and 12 statellites. We found that most of the fast flows do not reach geosynchronous orbit as suggested by Ohtani et al. (2006).

Many eruptions of Mt. Baekdusan volcano have been recorded in the historical literatures, and there were unrest precursors in 2002. Based on the geological survey results, it has been recognized that Mt. Baekdusan's Plinian eruptions had caused ashfall, followed by the occurrence of pyroclastic flows, which were caused by the collapse of eruption column. Therefore, we simulated the range of the impacts of pyroclastic flows, which were caused by small eruptions from a specific crater. Based on the simulation results, it can be interpreted that, when the pyroclastic flows are caused by the eruption column collapse from an eruption with less than VEI 3, the impacts will range from the outer rim of the caldera to the mountain slope 7 km at the maximum distance. Furthermore, it is interpreted that, when the eruption column occurs by the crater located inside the caldera, most will be deposited inside the caldera and what overflows will be deposited thickly mostly in the north valley, the upper stream region of Erdaobaihe.

This paper presents a experimental evidence of the generation of the earth potential and communication line noise from the electric railway. There is a critical measurement err in case of measuring the electrical power induced noise voltage and degree of cable balance in the field of earth potential generated. As a results, it has been found that the conventional cable has more noise immunity than shielded cable near the railway where the earth current flows through the sheath layer.

The magnetic dipolarizations at the tail are often, if not always, associated with plasma flows of some magnitude. The associated flow direction is known to be earthward most often but not necessarily always. It is the primary goal of this paper to clarify the association between dipolarizations and the associated flow characteristics in general, but with a primary emphasis on tailward flow cases. Based on a number of dipolarizations that we identify at the near-Earth tail using the THEMIS tail observations we first confirm that dipolarizations can in general initiate in association with both earthward and tailward flows. Also, the main direction of the plasma flow, whether being earthward or tailward, is not critical in determining the intensity of the dipolarizations. We actually identify some events of tailward flow-associated dipolarizations that are as much intense as the earthward flow-associated events. The occurrence rate of the tailward flow-associated dipolarizations is mainly concentrated in the radial region of < 10 RE and in the local time region of 22-01 hr. However, its relative occurrence rate is rather low, ~19 % in the radial region and ~15.3 % in the local time region, as compared to that for the events associated with all other types of flows. Furthermore, the flow direction often changes no matter whether it is initially earthward or tailward near the onset time. As a consequence, the net transport of the magnetic flux during the main duration of the dipolarization process is earthward for nearly all of the dipolarizations that initiate with dominantly tailward flows near the onset, as is the case for those that initiate with dominantly earthward flows.

The Cretaceous magmatism in the Gyeongsang Basin, which intruded into the upper crust or extruded throughout ENE-trending volcanic belts in southern Korea, led to the formation of two contrasting metallogeinic provinces: the Haman-Gunbug-Goseong and the Euiseong. The Haman-Gunbug-Goseong metallogenic province in the southwestern portion of the Gyeongsang Basin consists of dominantly nonmarine sedimentary rocks (e.g., the Sindong and Hayang groups) which are rarely intercalated with andesitic pyroclastics and flows.

In the building, there are a lot of electricity, electrodes, and communication equipment. Many of those equipment needs to earthing. Naturally, the earth electrodes are constructed in the site of a building. In such a situation, when electric current flows into a certain earthing system the potential of other earthing systems rises. That is, the potential interference will take place between the earth electrodes. The conventional study has been considered by only the relation of the distance between the earth electrodes using the potential distribution formula of earth surface. However, it is necessary to inquire strictly, taking the surface potential of electrodes by electrode form into consideration. In this paper, basic formula is deduced on the basis of both electrodes surface potential of earth electrode as a source of the potential interference and earth electrode which receives the potential interference.

Daejeonsa basalt in the Mt. Juwang area is composed of 12 lava flows alternate with 9 peperites, and each lava and peperite has variable thickness. Globular peperites yielded in Daejeonsa basalt are mixed basalt clasts with reddish shale. Based on field description, when lava flows over unconsolidated wet shale or injectes into unconsolidated wet shale, peperites were formed at the contacts between lava and shale. Daejeonsa basalt are massive lava flows with rare vesicules: some vesicules are found in upper part of a flow unit. The basalt has mainly pseudomorphs of olivine as phenocryst, and also plagioclase and clinopyroxene phenocrysts in rocks with higher Mg-number. Matrix is mainly subophitic texture, sometimes showing ophitic and intergranular textures due to different cooling rate. Clinopyroxene is augite(Wo$_{41.6}$En$_{45.1}$Fs$_{13.3}$), and plagioclase is mostly labradorite(An$_{55.0}{\sim}_{67.7}$), but some is andesine(An$_{44.3}$) and bytownite(An$_{74.5}$). Oxide minerals are composed of titanomagnetite and ilmenite.

Products of the eruption of Mt. Baekdusan are identified as volcanic materials at the estuaries of the Songhuagang river to north, the Dumangang river to east and the Amnokgang river to west. More speficially, pyroclastic flows, lahars and volcanic floods can affect an area of 400km in radius, centering around Lake Cheonji caldera. However, unlike the millenium eruption, the flow situation has been changed. Because multi-purpose dams and reserviors with a combined pondage of mora than 2 billion tons of water have been built in the rivers of which sources are originated from Lake Cheonji caldera. In addition, the flow of fluids expected to take place when the volcano has erupted is thought to be affected by artificial constructions in both direct and indirect ways. This study calculates the direction of fluids flow by using numerical analyses of pyroclastic flows, lahars and volcanic floods that can occur when the volcano of Mt. Baekdusan has erupted. We also estimate the scope of damages by pyroclastic flows, lahars, volcanic flooding caused by the pondage of the dams and water storages in and around Mt. Baekdusan. Pyroclastic flows transported over the steep slopes at the early times of eruptions move over the mountain slopes, affecting airplanes, and lahars due to leaks of Lake Cheonji could reach as far as major rivers and streams near Mt. Baekdusan. Unlike historical accounts, volcanic flood is expected to be limited in its scope of influence to reservoirs bigger than Lake Cheonji in pondage.

Separated flows passed complex geometries are modeled by discrete vortex techniques. The flows are assumed to be rotational and inviscid, and a new techlnique is described to determine the stream functions for linear shear profiles. The geometries considered are the snow cornice and the backward-facing step, whose edges allow for the separation of the flow and reattachment downstream of the recirculation regions. A point vortex has been added to the flows in order to constrain the separation points to be located at the edges, while the conformal mappings have been modified in order to smooth the sharp edges and to let the separation points free to oscillate around the points of maximum curvature. Unsteadiness is imposed to the flow by perturbing the vortex location, either by displacing the vortex from the equilibrium, or by imposing a random perturbation with zero mean to the vortex in equilibrium. The trajectories of passive scalars continuously released upwind of the separation point and trapped by the recirculating bubble are numerically integrated, and concentration time series are calculated at fixed locations downwind of the reattachment points. This model proves to be capable of reproducing the trapping and intermittent release of scalars, in agreement with the simulation of the flow passed a snow cornice performed by a discrete multi-vortex model, as well as with direct numerical simulations of the flow passed a backward-facing step. The results of simulation indicate that for flows undergoing separation and reattachment the unsteadiness of the recirculating bubble is the main mechanism responsible for the intense large-scale concentration fluctuations downstream.
