  • KAP82 (KHU Auto-guiding software Package for McDonald 82 inch telescope)는 천체망원경의 정밀한 추적을 가능하게 하는 가이드 프로그램으로, 미국 텍사스주에 위치한 McDonald 천문대의 82 inch 망원경에 장착된 광학 및 적외선 영역의 관측기기 SQUEAN (SED camera for Quasars in EArly uNiverse)과 함께 개발되었다. KAP82는 지난 한 해 동안 두 차례의 개정을 통해 프로그램 작동의 안정성을 확보하고, 동시에 가이드의 성능에도 많은 개선이 이루어졌다. 대상 별 중심을 찾는 알고리즘에 따라 KAP82 1.0에서는 가중 평균(weighted mean)을, KAP82 2.0에서는 산술평균을 활용해 자체 개발한 J-J 함수를 사용해 가이드를 구현한 것이 특징이다. 이번에 개발한 KAP82 3.0은 가이드 알고리즘으로 가우스 함수를 채택하고, 제조사가 다른 다수의 상용 CCD카메라 및 망원경과 연결이 가능한 ASCOM Platform에서 작동하므로, 다른 시스템에도 쉽게 적용할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 포스터에서는 KAP82 3.0을 소개하면서 기존 KAP82버전들과 KAP82 3.0의 차이로 알아본 서로 다른 알고리즘에 따른 가이드의 정확성을 비교 분석한 결과를 제시한다.

  • 미국 텍사스 주 맥도날드 천문대에 위치한 2.1m 망원경에 부착된 SQUEAN (SED Camera for QUasars in EArly uNiverse)은 2010년부터 운용되고 있는 CQUEAN을 바탕으로 개발된 적외선 영역 광학기기이다. 20개의 필터 장착이 가능한 필터 휠 제어 시스템을 가지고 있는 SQUEAN 시스템은 SMOP (SQUEAN Main Observation software package), KFC82 (KHU Filter wheel Control software package for McDonald 82 inch Telescope), KAP82 (KHU Auto-guiding software Package for McDonald 82 inch Telescope) 등으로 구성되어 있다. 그러나 대형 필터 휠을 제어하는 모터의 토크부족과 감속기의 백래시(Backlash)의 영향으로 오프셋의 오차가 커서 초기위치의 재설정 없이 하룻밤 이상 관측을 지속하는데 어려움이 있었다. 토크가 크고 인코더가 장착된 모터 교체와 제어 프로그램 등을 변경하고, 백래시의 영향을 최소화할 수 있도록 소프트웨어로 보정하였다. 또한, SMOP로부터 네트워크 통신을 통해 초기화용 필터 마스크(Initial Filter Mask:IFM)를 제작하여 돔 플랫 이미지에서 정확한 필터의 위치를 측정하는 기능을 도입하였다. 이 발표에서는, 개선된 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어의 내용과 테스트한 결과에 대해 보여준다.

  • The Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute and the Department of Astronomy at the University of Texas at Austin are developing a near infrared wide-band high resolution spectrograph, immersion grating infrared spectrometer (IGRINS). The compact white-pupil design of the instrument optics uses seven cryogenic mirrors, including three aspherical off-axis collimators and four flat fold mirrors. In this study, we introduce the optomechanical mount designs of three off-axis collimating mirrors and one flat slit-viewer fold mirror. Two of the off-axis collimators are serving as H and K-band pupil transfer mirrors, and are designed as system alignment compensators in combination with the H2RG focal plane array detectors in each channel. For this reason, the mount designs include tip-tilt and parallel translation adjustment mechanisms to properly perform the precision alignment function. This means that the off-axis mirrors' optomechanical mount designs are among the most sensitive tasks in all IGRINS system hardware. The other flat fold mirror is designed within its very limitedly allowed work space. This slit-viewer fold mirror is mounted with its own version of the six-point kinematic optics mount. The design work consists of a computer-aided 3D modeling and finite element analysis (FEA) technique to optimize the structural stability and the thermal behavior of the mount models. From the structural and thermal FEA studies, we conclude that the four IGRINS mirror mounts are well designed to meet all optical stability tolerances and system thermal requirements.

  • Bacteriocins are antimicrobial peptides that are produced by bacteria and toxic to bacterial strains closely related to the producer strain. It has previously been reported that Bacillus thuringiensis strain NEB17 and Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki BUPM4 produce the bacteriocins thuricin 17 (3,162 Da) and bacthuricin F4 (3,160.05 Da), respectively. Here, we demonstrate that these bacteriocins have functional similarities and show a similar spectrum of antimicrobial activities against indicator strains. We also studied the effects of sterilization methods on the recovery and biological activities of these bacteriocins. They were completely degraded by autoclaving and the two were similarly affected by the tested filter membranes. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyestersulfone (PES), and cellulose acetate (CA) are suitable for filter sterilization of these bacteriocins. The two bacteriocins were stable across a range of storage conditions. These data will facilitate their utilization in food preservation or agricultural applications.

  • We consider a stable tandem network which consists of two M/M/1 nodes and study the probability that the total backlog exceeds a large level N. Since the excessive backlog is a rare event, it is difficult to estimate this probability efficiently by using the crude Monte Carlo simulation. Instead we perform the ;$h$-transform proposed by McDonald(1999) to obtain the twisted network, in which the node with the larger load is overloaded. Then we use it to run the fast simulation.

  • We consider M/M/1 feedback queues with multi-class customers. We assume that different classes of customers have different arrival rates, service rates and feedback probabilities. Using the h-transforms of McDonald(999) we derive an importance sampling estimator for an overflow probability that the total number of customers in the system reaches a high level before emptying.

  • Skewed t distributions have attracted significant attention in the last few years. In this paper, a generalization - referred to as the skewed generalized t distribution - with the pdf f(x) = 2g(x)G(${\lambda}x$) is introduced, where g(${\cdot}$) and G (${\cdot}$) are taken, respectively, to be the pdf and the cdf of the generalized t distribution due to McDonald and Newey (1984, 1988). Several particular cases of this distribution are identified and various representations for its moments derived. An application is provided to rainfall data from Orlando, Florida.

  • In this paper, we show that if R is a local-global domain then the Question holds. McDonald and Waterhouse in [6] and Estes and Guralnick in [5] introduced the concept of local-global rings (so called rings with many units) independently. A local-global ring is a commutative ring R with 1 satisfying; if a polynomial f in R[ $x_{1}$, .., $x_{n}$] represents a unit over $R_{P}$ for every maximal ideal P in R, then f represents a unit over R. Such rings include semilocal rings, or more generally, rings which are von Neumann regular mod their Jacobson radical, and the ring of all algebraic integers.s.s.
