  • A statistical study of coronal hole merging and splitting has been performed through Solar Cycle 23. The NOAA/SESC solar synoptic maps are examined to identify inarguably clear events of coronal hole merging and splitting. The numbers of merging events and splitting events are more or less comparable regardless of the phase in the solar cycle. The number of both events, however, definitely shows the phase dependence in the solar cycle. It apparently has a minimum at the solar minimum whereas its maximum is located in the declining phase of the sunspot activity, about a year after the second peak in Solar Cycle 23. There are more events of merging and splitting in the descending phase than in the ascending phase. Interestingly, no event is found at the local minimum between the two peaks of the sunspot activity. This trend can be compared with the variation of the average magnetic field strength and the radial field component in the solar wind through the solar cycle. In Ulysses observations, both of these quantities have a minimum at the solar minimum while their maximum is located in the descending phase, a while after the second peak of the sunspot activity. At the local minimum between the two peaks in the solar cycle, the field strength and the radial component both have a shallow local minimum or an inflection point. At the moment, the physical reason for these resembling tendencies is difficult to understand with existing theories. Seeing that merging and splitting of coronal holes are possible by passage of opposite polarity magnetic structures, we may suggest that the energizing activities in the solar surface such as motions of flux tubes are not exactly in phase with sunspot generation, but are more active some time after the sunspot maximum.

  • 'The one to one correspondence model' defines the relation between a dark matter halo (DM halo) and a galaxy. A basic assumption of this model is that a more massive DM subhalo hosts a brighter galaxy. In a more improved version of the model we may be able to assign a mock galaxy with a morphological type. In this study, we are building a mock galaxy catalog using massive halo merging trees from the Horizon Run 4. We test various merging models to calculate the merging time scale of a subhalo along its merging tree. And we obtain the halo mass functions for major subhalos and satellite subhalos, separately, and compare them with the observed luminosity functions of major galaxies and satellite galaxies from the SDSS group catalog. Furthermore, we are going to make a range of mock galaxy catalogs and investigate their properties, such as spatial distributions, environmental effects, and morphologies.

  • This paper proposes a space merging approach to studying the queuing models with finite buffers and jump priorities. Upon the arrival of a call with low priority, one call of such kind is assumed to be transferred to the end of the queue of high priority calls. The transfer probabilities depend on the state of the queue of the heterogeneous calls. We developed the algorithms to calculate the quality of service metrics of such queuing models, and the results of the numerical experiments are shown.

  • Spin distribution of dark matter halos in a cosmological N-body simulation is well fitted by a log-normal distribution, but the origin of the log-normal like shape is still unknown. To understand the evolution of spin and the origin of spin distribution, we have studied the change of the angular momentum of simulated halos through their merging histories. First, we traced merging histories of the dark matter halos and measured the probability distribution of the angular momentum changes from a series of simulations. We were able to fit the angular momentum changes with the Gaussian distribution in spaces of M, spin, ${\Delta}M$. Using the simulated merging trees and the distribution of angular momentum changes during the merging events, we can recover the spin distribution of halos over the various mass scales.

  • In coronagraph images, it is often observed that two successive CMEs merge into one another and form complex structures. This phenomenon, so called CME cannibalism caused by the differences in ejecting times and propagating velocities, can significantly degrade forecast capability of space weather, especially if it occur near the Earth. Regarding this, we attempt to analyze the cases that two CMEs are expecting to meet around 1 AU based on their arrival times. For this, we select 13 CME-CME pairs detected by ACE, Wind and/or STEREO-A/B. We find that 8 CME-CME pairs show a shock structure, which means they already met and became one structure. Meanwhile 5 pairs clearly show magnetic holes between two respective shock structures. Based on detailed investigation for each pair and statistical analysis for all events, we can get clues for following questions: 1) How does the solar wind structure change when they are merging? 2) Are there any systematic characteristics of merging process according to the CME properties? 3) Is the merging process associated with the occurrence of energetic storm particles? 4) What causes errors in calculating CME arrival times? Our results and discussions can be helpful to understand energetic phenomena not only close to the Sun but also near the Earth.

  • Galaxy mergers are known to have been one of the main drivers in galaxy evolution in a wide range of environments. However, in galaxy clusters, high-speed encounters have been believed to undermine the role of mergers as a driver in galaxy evolution. Nonetheless, a high fraction (~38% in Sheen et al. 2012 and ~20% in Oh et al. 2018) of galaxies with post-merging features have been reported in deep (>~28 mag/arcsec2) optical surveys of cluster galaxies. The authors argue that these galaxies could have merged outside of the cluster and, later, fallen into the cluster, sustaining their long-lasting post-merging features. On the other hand, when galaxy clusters interact, galaxy orbits might be destabilized resulting in a higher galaxy merger rate. To test this idea, we measure the ongoing-merger fraction of galaxies in deep DECam mosaic data of seven Abell clusters (A754, A2399, A2670, A3558, A3574, A3659 and A3716) with a variety of dynamical states (0.016

  • There is a well-known simple, stable standard merge algorithm, which uses only linear time but for the price of double space. This extra space consumption has been often remarked as lack of the standard merge sort algorithm that covers a merge process as central operation. In-place merging is a way to overcome this lack and so is a topic with a long tradition of inspection in the area of theoretical computer science. We present an in-place merging algorithm that rear-ranges the elements to be merged by rotation, a special form of block interchanging. Our algorithm is novel, due to its technique of determination of the rotation-areas. Further it has a short and transparent definition. We will give a presentation of our algorithm and prove that it needs in the worst case not more than twice as much comparisons as the standard merge algorithm. Experimental work has shown that our algorithm is efficient and so might be of high practical interest.

  • 본 논문에서는 물체의 경계선을 고려한 칼라 영상 분할 방법을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 먼저 원영상을 벡터 양자화한 후 양자화된 영상의 인덱스 맵을 이용하여 초기 영역을 설정하였다. 그 후 HSI컬러 공간을 이용한 영역 병합에서 물체의 경계선을 고려하기 위해 경계선 제한 성분을 적용하여 영역들을 병합하였다. 또한 RGB 컬러 공간을 이용하여 HSI 컬러 공간에서 병합되지 않은 영역들을 병합하였다. 그리 고 영역병합 알고리즘을 통해 반복적인 처리를 감소시킴으로써 처리 시간을 줄였다. 실험 결과에서는 다양한 영상에 대해 주요 영역들의 분할 결과 및 처리소요시간에서 우수한 성능을 보였다.

  • 본 연구는 개별차량에 대한 미시적 분석이 가능한 고속도로의 실제 항공사진자료를 분석함으로써 고속도로-연결로 접속부를 포함한 합류구간의 교통류 특성을 차로별로 미시적으로 분석하여 기존 연구결과에서 찾아내지 못한 차로별 상호영향에 대한 기초연구를 수행함을 목적으로 한다. 본 연구에서는 고속도로-연결로 접속부에서 수집한 항공사진 원시 자료를 Matlab 프로그램을 사용하여 차로별 30초 단위의 교통량, 속도, 밀도자료를 생성하였고, 또한, 미시적 분석을 위하여 개별차량 차두시간(headway) 데이터를 차로별로 생성하였다. 연구수행 내용으로는 개별차로에 따른 속도, 점유율, 교통량, 차두시간 변화추이를 각각의 차로별로 비교하여 차로특성을 분석하였고 연결로 진입교통량으로 인한 본선 교통류의 정체과정을 분석하였고, 시간과 거리에 따른 시공간도를 작성하여 합류구간 교통류 특성에 대해 해석해보았다. 전체구간을 3개의 지점(합류전, 합류, 합류후)으로 구분하여 차로별 교통류 전이과정을 분석하였으며, 합류구간을 50ft지점으로 세분화하여 교통와해(breakdown)가 발생되는 정확한 위치를 찾아내어 교통류 전파과정을 면밀히 관찰하였다. 본 연구는 혼잡교통류 상태의 연결로 교통류와 본선 교통류간의 관계에 대한 미시적 분석을 수행하여 교통와해현상에 대한 정밀한 분석과 합류구간의 교통와해에 대한 다양한 분석방법을 제시하였으며, 이는 교통와해의 동적변화로 인한 고속도로 동적용량 결정을 할 수 있는 기초이론을 제공한다는 데에 의의가 있다.

  • A numerical simulation study of the solar coronal plasma reveals that a ballooning instability can develop in the course of flux rope merging. When magnetic field lines from different flux ropes reconnect, a new field line connecting farther footpoints is generated. Since the field line length abruptly increases, the field line expands outward. If the plasma beta is low, this expansion takes place more or less evenly over the whole field line. If, on the other hand, the plasma beta is high enough somewhere in this field line, the outward expansion is not even, but is localized as in a bulging balloon. This ballooning section of the magnetic field penetrates out of the overlying field, and eventually the originally underlying field and the overlying field come to interchange their apex positions. This process may explain how a field structure that has stably been confined by an overlying field can occasionally show a localized eruptive behavior.
