In the present work we introduce a new flare activity indicator, MAD and examine its characteristics by analyzing a set of successive three days' observations of a typical active region, AR2372. The computed MAD is compared with conventional activity indicator such as separator. It is found that. (1) MAD traces very well the separator, (2) it. singles out. local discontinuity of magnetic field lines and (3) it. is a good measure of describing the evolutionary status of active region.

We introduce new methods to measure distance in precision using large scale structure formation. The accuracy to determine geometrical factors is enhanced in comparison to the previous method known as BAO. We determine both D_A and H simultaneously as well as structure of growth of density fluctuations and peculiar velocities. Our method is independent of any given prior on large scale structure formation such as the shape of spectra.

The observational sensitivity of dual-polarization weather radar was quantitatively analyzed by using two different pulse widths. For this purpose, test radar scan strategy which consisted of consecutive radar scan using long (LP: $2{\mu}s$) and short (SP: $1{\mu}s$) pulses at the same elevation angle was employed. The test scan strategy was conducted at three operational S-band dual-polarization radars (KSN, JNI, and GSN) of Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA). First, the minimum detectable reflectivity (MDR) was analyzed as a function of range using large data set of reflectivity ($Z_H$) obtained from JNI and GSN radars. The MDR of LP was as much as 7~22 dB smaller than that of SP. The LP could measure $Z_H$ greater than 0 dBZ within the maximum observational range of 240 km. Secondly, polarimetric observations and the spatial extent of radar echo between two pulses were compared. The cross-polar correlation coefficient (${\rho}_{hv}$) from LP was greater than that from SP at weak reflectivity (0~20 dBZ). The ratio of $Z_H$ (> 0 dBZ) and ${\rho}_{hv}$(> 0.95) bin to total bin calculated from LP were greater than those from SP (maximum 7.1% and 13.2%). Thirdly, the frequency of $Z_H$ (FOR) during three precipitation events was analyzed. The FOR of LP was greater than that of SP, and the difference in FOR between them increased with increasing range. We conclude that the use of LP can enhance the sensitivity of polarimetric observations and is more suitable for detecting weak echoes.

In this paper we shall study moving boundary problems, and we introduce an approach for solving a wide range of them by using calculus of variations and optimization. First, we transform the problem equivalently into an optimal control problem by defining an objective function and artificial control functions. By using measure theory, the new problem is modified into one consisting of the minimization of a linear functional over a set of Radon measures; then we obtain an optimal measure which is then approximated by a finite combination of atomic measures and the problem converted to an infinite-dimensional linear programming. We approximate the infinite linear programming to a finite-dimensional linear programming. Then by using the solution of the latter problem we obtain an approximate solution for moving boundary function on specific time. Furthermore, we show the path of moving boundary from initial state to final state.

A rapeseed reaping equipment attachable to a conventional combine was developed in order to harvest rapeseed for bio-diesel materials. This study was carried out to measure the harvest feasibility of a prototype combine in rapeseed fields. Grain, stem and pod flow rate, grain qualities (whole kernel, damaged kernel, unhulled kernel, material-other-than-grain) and grain loss rates (header, threshing, separation) were investigated in each field test. As the result of the fold test, the average grain flow rates of SUNMANG and MS varieties showed 1,430 kg/h and 2,038 kg/h, respectively. The average stem and pod flow rates showed 3,443 kg/h and 6,596 kg/h, respectively. In each working speed, the average whole kernel rate and the material-other-than-grain showed 99.9% and below 0.08%, respectively. In the average grain loss, the rates showed 5.66% in case of SUNMANG and 5.94% in MS. Header loss was higher than other parts for SUNMANG. However, threshing loss was relatively higher than other parts for MS. Header loss rate due to side cutter knifes, however, was not so high when compared with a grain loss due to the cutter bar. Effective field capacity and field efficiency of the prototype combine showed 0.389 ha/h and 44%, respectively. Comparison of customary combine with the prototype combine through field test demonstrated that the header loss was reduced by 69.3% when the prototype combine was used.

The PdO nanoparticle with large surface area was selected to solve the environmental pollution problem at fire range caused by high energy explosives research department explosive (RDX) and high melting explosive (HMX). By simulating water pollution, RDX and HMX nitramine explosives were dissolved in water, followed by the degradation reaction at 313 K by adding PdO. In order to measure the degradation reaction rate of explosives, ¹H NMR was used, which can monitor the reaction rate without losing sample during reaction, and observe the progress of the reaction through the spectrum. The results showed that the degradation of RDX and HMX by PdO nanoparticles are pseudo-first order reaction. The degradation of explosives compounds were observed via the chemical shift and peak intensity analysis of NMR peaks. The measured rate constants for these reactions of RDX and HMX were 2.10 × 10^-2 and 6.35 × 10^-4 h^-1, respectively. This study showed that the application of PdO nanoparticles for explosives degradation is a feasible option.

In this paper, a unified potentiostat which can measure the current of both $O_2$-based and $H_2O_2$-based blood glucose sensors with low supply voltage of 1.0V has been designed and verified by simulations and measurements. Potentiostat is composed of low-voltage operational transconductance amplifier, cascode current mirrors and mode-selection circuits. It can measure currents of blood glucose chemical reactions occurred by $O_2$ or $H_2O_2$. The body of PMOS input differentional stage of the operational transconductance amplifier is forward-biased to reduce the threshold voltage for low supply voltage operation. Also, cascode current mirror is used to reduce current measurement error generated by channel length modulation effects. The proposed low-voltage potentiostat is designed and simulated using Cadence SPECTRE and fabricated in Magnachip 0.18um CMOS technology with chip size of $110{\mu}m{\times}60{\mu}m$. The measurement results show that consumption current is maximum $46{\mu}A$ at supply voltage of 1.0V. Using the persian potassium($K_3Fe(CN)_6$) equivalent to glucose, the operation of the fabricated potentiostat was confirmed.

In mathematics, a definition must have authentic reasons to be defined so. On defining geometric figures, there must be adequencies in sequel and consistency in the concepts of figures, though the dimensions of them are different. So we can avoid complicated thoughts from the study of geometric property. From the texts of SMSG, UICSM and others, we can find easily that the same concepts are not kept up on defining some figures such as ray and segment on a line, angle and polygon on a plane, and polyhedral angle and polyhedron on a 3-dimensionl space. And the measure of angle is not well-defined on basis of measure theory. Moreover, the concepts for interior, exterior, and frontier of each figure used in these texts are different from those of general topology and algebraic topology. To avoid such absurdness, I myself made new terms and their definitions, such as 'gan' instead of angle, 'polygonal region' instead of polygon, and 'polyhedral solid' instead of polyhedron, where each new figure contains its interior. The scope of this work is hmited to the fundamental idea, and it merely has dealt with on the concepts of measure, dimension, and topological property. In this case, the measure of a figure is a set function of it, so the concepts of measure is coincided with that of measure theory, and we can deduce the topological property for it from abstract stage. It also presents appropriate concepts required in much clearer fashion than traditional method.

The heat transfer characteristics of solar tower receivers are experimentally investigated with receiver shapes. Generally the heat transfer characteristics become different according to the shapes and materials of the volumetric air receiver. In order to study these effects, The experimental apparatus adopting laminated mesh and honeycombs as the volumetric air receiver is proposed. The receiver consists of laminated mesh (diameter; 100mm, thickness; 1mm), honeycombs (diameter; 100mm, thickness; 30 mm) inserted out the heat transfer characteristics of the laminated mesh the air temperatures are obtained by installing 3 thermocouples on each layer, dividing ceramic tube into 4 layers. Also, a radiative shield is installed to measure the only air temperature. The data for laminated mesh and honeycomb thickness of 30, 60, 90mm are obtained. The results show that the temperature of layer 3 is higher than those of layer 2 and layer 1.

As the concentration of aqueous $CD_3OH$ solutions was decreased, the OD peaks in $^2H$ NMR spectra grew relative to the $CD_3$ peaks. Isotope impurity for OH groups of $CD_3OH$ and deuterium naturally present in water contributed to the OD peaks. Using these peak area data, the site-specific isotope populations of isotope enriched chemicals were measured. In addition, the method using both $^1H$ and $^2H$ NMR spectroscopy was demonstrated with neat $CD_3OH$ to measure the site-specific isotope populations. The results indicate that although it represents only ~0.015% of hydrogen isotopes, the deuterium naturally present in solvents cannot be ignored, especially when the concentration of deuterium-enriched solutes is varied. Proton/deuteron exchange between methyl and methyl/hydroxyl groups was confirmed to be negligible, while that among hydroxyl groups was detectable.
