The Earth's outer radiation belt often suffers from drastic changes in the electron fluxes. Since the electrons can be a potential threat to satellites, efforts have long been made to model and predict electron flux variations. In this paper, we describe a prediction model for the outer belt electrons that we have recently developed at Chungbuk National University. The model is based on a one-dimensional radial diffusion equation with observationally determined specifications of a few major ingredients in the following way. First, the boundary condition of the outer edge of the outer belt is specified by empirical functions that we determine using the THEMIS satellite observations of energetic electrons near the boundary. Second, the plasmapause locations are specified by empirical functions that we determine using the electron density data of THEMIS. Third, the model incorporates the local acceleration effect by chorus waves into the one-dimensional radial diffusion equation. We determine this chorus acceleration effect by first obtaining an empirical formula of chorus intensity as a function of drift shell parameter $L^*$, incorporating it as a source term in the one-dimensional diffusion equation, and lastly calibrating the term to best agree with observations of a certain interval. We present a comparison of the model run results with and without the chorus acceleration effect, demonstrating that the chorus effect has been incorporated into the model to a reasonable degree.

새만금호 내부개발에 따른 호 내측의 수리특성과 수질환경 영향을 분석하기 위해 EFDC 모형을 이용한 심층적인 수치모의가 수행되었다. 개발이 진행되면서 방수제 및 준설 영향으로 표 저층간의 흐름특성이 변화된다. 특히 관리수위 적용에 따른 제한적인 배수갑문 운영은 기존과 다르게 표 저층간 성층발달을 심화시켜 새만금호 내측의 수질환경을 악화시키는 주요 인자로 확인되었다. 무작위행보에 의한 입자추적방법을 이용한 내부 체류시간 분석을 통해 확인된 특성은 평수시와 홍수시 그 특성이 크게 다르지만, 만경호 북측구역은 일종의 사대로 변화되어 오염물질이 장기간 체류되면서 침적된 저니층의 용출로 인해 수질환경이 악화되는 주요 원인으로 작용할 것으로 추론되었다.

철강 산업에서의 원재료는 생산성, 품질, 가격경쟁력에 결정적인 역할을 하고 있다. 철강제품의 원재료를 함철부산물로 활용한다면, 함철부산물을 처리하기 위한 비용 및 환경오염문제를 해결할 뿐만 아니라 가격경쟁력을 높일 수 있다. 함철부산물들은 대부분 작읍입도를 가지고 있어서, 제강공정 내에 직접 투입하게 되면 열 유동 및 원료 비산 등의 문제가 발생하게 된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하고 추가적인 환원을 유도하기 위해 철원에 탄재를 혼합한 뒤 단괴를 성형하여 제강공정 내에 투입하는 방법이 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 함철부산물에 탄재를 혼합하여 단괴를 성형하는 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 함철부산물, 탄재, 융제, 바인더에 따른 CCBI (carbon composite briquette iron)의 성형성 및 압축강도를 확인하였다.

Polarization is a rich source of information on the physical properties of astronomical objects. In particular, scattered sunlight by optically thin media (e.g., cometary comae) shows linear polarization of light, which highly depends on the phase angle (an angle between the Sun-Comet-Earth), wavelengths, and physical properties of cometary dust particles such as size, composition, and structures. Here, we present a study of polarimetric properties of non-periodic comet C/2013 US10 (Catalina) in optical and near-infrared wavelength regions obtained from imaging, spectroscopy, and polarimetric observations taken on UT 2015 December 17 - 19 welcoming its (probably) first close approach to the Earth. In this presentation, we want to introduce our progress since the last Korean Astronomical Society meeting (at BEXCO, Busan, 2016 April 14 - 15) especially in terms of spatial variations of degree of linear polarization (DOLP) and its possible scenarios to explain the correlations with other observational results. In particular, we found that there is strong anti-correlation between the gas/dust flux ratio and DOLP at the cometocentric distance of $(2-5){\times}104 km$. Besides, within 10 arcseconds in radii (corresponding to inner coma region of 104 km from the center), the inverse relationship of these two parameters does not hold anymore. We conjecture that the rapid outward increase of DOLP can be supported by either the sublimation/evaporation of icy volatiles, disaggregation of cometary dust particles ejected from the nucleus, and/or difference of dominant dust particle sizes. From our results, we can conclude that comet C/2013 US10 (Catalina) corroborates rather indefinite traditional classification of poalrimetric classes of comets, and provides good opportunity to study less processed material which probably cherishes its memory at the formation epoch of the Solar System.

In this study, a fluorescent silica nano particle is used as the surrogate for challenging test of membrane surface integrity. The particles are functionalized by a fluorescent dying agent so that as an ultraviolet light is imposed a bright fluorescent image from the particles can be taken. If a membrane surface is damaged and has a compromised part larger than the size of surrogate the fluorescent particles would pass through and contained in the permeate. An operator can directly notice whether the membrane surface is damaged or not by detecting a fluorescent image taken from the permeate. Additionally, the size of compromised part is estimated through analysing the fluorescent image in which we surmise the mass of particles included in the permeate by calculating an average RGB value of the image. The pilot scale experiments showed that this method could be applied successfully to determine if a membrane surface had a damaged parts regardless of the test condition. In the testing on the actual damaged area of $4.712mm^2$, the lowest error of estimating the damaged area was -1.32% with the surrogate concentration of 80 mg/L, flux of $40L/m^2/hr$ for 25 minutes of detection. A further study is still going on to increase the lowest detection limit and thus decrease the error of estimation.

침지식분리막 오염을 최소화하기 위한 두 가지 공기세정방식을 비교하였다. 연속적인 공기세정과 단계별 공기량을 증가시키는 방식을 연구하였다. 15분의 여과 중에 세정공기의 증가는 5분마다 단계별로 공기량을 증가시켜주었다. 모의 여과 원수에 분말활성탄을 10 g/L 이하 그리고 카올린은 20 g/L 이하로 준비하였으며, 플러스는 80 LMH로 하였다. 단계별 공기세정방식은 연속적인 공기세정 방식보다 분리막 오염억제에 효과적이었다. 추가적으로 주입된 응집제는 분리막 오염저감을 보다 향상시켰다. 연속적인 공기세정의 오염현상은 공경막힘과 분리막 표면에 지속적인 입자의 축적에 기인하였다.

The KOMPSAT-1 satellite, launched into a circular sun synchronous orbit on Dec. 21, 1999, entered its$6^{th}$year of successful operation this year. The purposes of the mission are to collect earth images (6.6 m resolution), multi-spectral images of the ocean, and to collect information on the particle environment of the low earth orbit. For normal operation, KOMPSAT-1 orbits are determined using GPS navigation solutions. However, at the start of the life of KOMPSAT-1, the 11-year solar activity cycle was at a maximum. Solar flux was maintained at this level until 2002, and thereafter reduced to a moderate level by 2004. Thus, the OD (Orbit Determination) accuracy has varied according to the solar activity. This paper presents the degree to which the OD accuracy could be degraded during a high solar activity period compared with that of a (relatively) low solar activity period. We investigated the effect of the use of solve-for parameters such as a drag coefficient ($C_D$), solar radiation coefficient ($C_R$), and the general accelerations ($G_A$) on OD accuracy with solar activity. For the evaluation of orbit determination accuracy, orbit overlap comparison is used since no independent orbits of comparable accuracy are available for comparison. The effect of the use of a box-wing model instead of a constant cross-sectional area is also investigated.

In Kang (2015) we calculated the acceleration of cosmic-ray electrons at weak spherical shocks that are expected to form in the cluster outskirts, and estimated the diffuse synchrotron radiation emitted by those electrons. There we demonstrated that, at decelerating spherical shocks, the volume integrated spectra of both electrons and radiation deviate significantly from the test-particle power-laws predicted for constant planar shocks, because the shock compression ratio and the flux of inject electrons decrease in time. In this study, we consider spherical blast waves propagating through a constant density core surrounded by an isothermal halo with ρ ∝ r⁻ⁿ in order to explore how the deceleration of the shock affects the radio emission from accelerated electrons. The surface brightness profile and the volumeintegrated radio spectrum of the model shocks are calculated by assuming a ribbon-like shock surface on a spherical shell and the associated downstream region of relativistic electrons. If the postshock magnetic field strength is about 0.7 or 7 µG, at the shock age of ∼ 50 Myr, the volume-integrated radio spectrum steepens gradually with the spectral index from α_inj to α_inj + 0.5 over 0.1–10 GHz, where α_inj is the injection index at the shock position expected from the diffusive shock acceleration theory. Such gradual steepening could explain the curved radio spectrum of the radio relic in cluster A2266, which was interpreted as a broken power-law by Trasatti et al. (2015), if the relic shock is young enough so that the break frequency is around 1 GHz.
