Recently, ESA (European Space Agency) has launched CryoSAT-2 for polar ice observations. CryoSAT-2 is equipped with a SIRAL (SAR/interferometric radar altimeter), which is a high spatial resolution radar altimeter. Conventional altimeters cannot measure a precise three-dimensional ground position because of the large footprint diameter, while SIRAL altimeter system accomplishes a precise three-dimensional ground positioning by means of interferometric synthetic aperture radar technique. In this study, we developed an efficient SIRAL SARIn mode processing technique to measure a precise three-dimensional ground position. We first simulated SIRAL SARIn RAW data for the ideal target by assuming the flat Earth and linear flight track, and second accessed the precision of three-dimensional geopositioning achieved by the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm consists of 1) azimuth processing that determines the squint angle from Doppler centroid, and 2) range processing that estimates the look angle from interferometric phase. In the ideal case, the precisions of look and squint angles achieved by the proposed algorithm were about -2.0 ${\mu}deg$ and 98.0 ${\mu}deg$, respectively, and the three-dimensional geopositioning accuracy was about 1.23 m, -0.02 m, and -0.30 m in X, Y and Z directions, respectively. This means that the SIRAL SARIn mode processing technique enables to measure the three-dimensional ground position with the precision of several meters.

In the present study, to investigate flows around space launch vehicles at mid-high altitudes efficiently, a three-dimensional unstructured mesh Navier-Stokes solver employing a Maxwell slip boundary condition was developed. Validation of the present flow solver was made for a blunted cone-tip configuration by comparing the results with those of the DSMC simulation and experiment. It was found that the present flow solver works well by capturing the velocity slip and the temperature jump on the solid surface more efficiently than the DSMC simulation. Flow simulations of space launch vehicles were conducted by using the flow solver. Mach number of 6 at the mid-high altitude around 86km was considered, and the flow phenomena at the mid-high altitude was discussed.

This study examined Public Evaluation for functions of urban open space environment using a marketing strategy called Importance-Performance analysis. 12 main function attributes for urban open space environment were selected 150 respondents were sampled in Taejon city by personal interview. Ratings used mean values from a seven-point scale. Results were then graphically displayed on an easily interpreted two-dimensional 'Action Grid'. Generally Importance Ratings were high, but Performance Ratings were low relatively for various open space environment functions. In air pollution control function the difference was the most large. The results of rating scale analysis indicated repondents' sexual and residence period difference.

Protostellar jets and outflows are signatures of star formation and promising mechanisms for driving supersonic turbulence in molecular clouds. We quantify outflow-driven turbulence through three-dimensional numerical simulations using an isothermal version of the total variation diminishing code. We drive turbulence in real space using a simplified spherical outflow model, analyze the data through density probability distribution functions (PDFs), and investigate density and velocity power spectra. The real-space turbulence-driving method produces a negatively skewed density PDF possessing an enhanced tail on the low-density side. It deviates from the log-normal distributions typically obtained from Fourier-space turbulence driving at low densities, but can provide a good fit at high densities, particularly in terms of mass-weighted rather than volume-weighted density PDF. We find shallow density power-spectra of -1.2. It is attributed to spherical shocks of outflows themselves or shocks formed by the interaction of outflows. The total velocity power-spectrum is found to be -2.0, representative of the shock dominated Burger's turbulence model. Our density weighted velocity power spectrum is measured as -1.6, slightly less that the Kolmogorov scaling values found in previous works.

Taxicab plane geometry and Cinese-Checker plane geometry are non-Euclidean and more practical notion than Euclidean geometry in the real world. The ${\alpha}$-distance is a generalization of the Taxicab distance and Chinese-Checker distance. It was first introduced by Songlin Tian in 2005, and generalized to n-dimensional space by Ozcan Gelisgen in 2006. In this paper, we studied the isoperimetric inequality in ${\alpha}$-plane.

A near infrared wide-band high resolution spectrograph, immersion grating infrared spectrometer (IGRINS) has been jointly developed by the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute and the University of Texas at Austin. The compact white-pupil design of the instrument optics includes five cryogenic flat mirrors including a slit mirror, an input fold mirror, a dichroic mirror, and H&K camera fold mirrors. In this study, we introduce the optomechanical mount designs of the five cryogenic mirrors. In order to meet the structural stability and thermal requirements of the mount models, we conducted the design work with the aid of 3-dimensional computer modeling and the finite element analysis (FEA) method. We also present the actual fabricated parts and assemblies of the mounts and mirrors as well as their CAD models.

In order to generate the 3D structure of the 21-cm signal during the reionization, semi-numerical simulations based on Excursion set formalism are broadly used. However, semi-numerical simulations in the realization of the 3D structure are known to be the ionizing photon non-conserving by the structure of the Excursion set approach. Recently, explicit photon conserving algorithms for semi-numerical simulations introduced, but they are still too slow when forward modelling the 21-cm signal with high-dimensional parameter spaces. Here, we introduce a new method for approximately correcting photon non-conservation, which can be applied on-the-fly. This method is tailored towards the efficient simulation and Bayesian inference with high-dimensional parameter space. Then, we investigate how large an impact that photon non-conservation has on astrophysical parameter inference by performing an MCMC analysis. We find that the ionizing escape parameter is deviated from the fiducial value by 2 sigma when we infer astrophysical parameters without this correction.

In this study, an aging deformation statistical model for a unique high and steep rock slope was proposed, and the aging characteristic of the slope deformation was better reflected. The slope displacement was affected by multiple-environmental factors in multiple scales and displayed the same tendency with a rising water level. The statistical model of the high and steep rock including non-aging factors was set up based on previous analyses and the study of the deformation and residual tendency. The rule and importance of the water level factor as a non-aging unit was analyzed. A partitioned statistical model and mutation model were established for the comprehensive cumulative displacement velocity with the monitoring study under multiple factors and multiple parameters. A spatial model was also developed to reflect and predict the whole and sectional deformation character by combining aging, deformation and space coordinates. A neural network model was built to fit and predict the deformation with a high degree of precision by mastering its feature of complexity and randomness. A three-dimensional finite element model of the slope was applied to approach the structure character using numerical simulations. Further, a three-dimensional finite element model of the slope and dam was developed, and the whole deformation state was analyzed. This study is expected to provide a powerful and systematic method to analyze very high, important and dangerous slopes.

Multi-dimensional data play a crucial role in various fields, as like computer graphics, geographical information system, and multimedia applications. Indexing method fur multi-dimensional data Is a very Important factor in overall system performance. What is proposed in this paper is a new dynamic access method for spatial objects called HL-CIF(Hierarchically Layered Caltech Intermediate Form) tree which requires small amount of storage space and facilitates efficient query processing. HL-CIF tree is a combination of hierarchical management of spatial objects and CIF tree in which spatial objects and sub-regions are associated with representative points. HL-CIF tree adopts "centroid" of spatial objects as the representative point. By reflecting objects′sizes and positions in its structure, HL-CIF tree guarantees the high spatial locality of objects grouped in a sub-region rendering query processing more efficient.

In this study, experiments of development and application of 50 MPa high-performance concrete are performed for large dimensional tunnel linings. In order to produce 50MPa high-performance concrete, eight optimal mixtures replacing with fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag up to 50 percent of type I Portland cement were selected then tests for mechanical properties and simple adiabatic temperature rise tests were carried out. And in order to assess the quantitative characteristics of heat of hydrations of developed mixtures, three mixtures that the type I Portland cement (OPC) and each one mixture of binary and ternary mixtures (BS30, F15S35) were reselected, then the adiabatic temperature rise tests and mock-up tests were performed. Consequently, the comparisons between the results of mock-up tests and finite element analysis can be enhanced the reliability of analyzing routines of thermal behaviours of the developed high-performance concrete.
