Pc1 pulsations are geomagnetic fluctuations in the frequency range of 0.2 to 5 Hz. There have been several observations of Pc1 pulsations in low earth orbit by MAGSAT, DE-2, Viking, Freja, CHAMP, and SWARM satellites. However, there has been a clear limitation in resolving the spatial and temporal variations of the pulsation by using a single-point observation by a single satellite. To overcome such limitations of previous observations, a new space mission was recently initiated, using the concept of multi-satellites, named the Small scale magNetospheric and Ionospheric Plasma Experiments (SNIPE). The SNIPE mission consists of four nanosatellites (~10 kg), which will be launched into a polar orbit at an altitude of 600 km (TBD) in 2020. Four satellites will be deployed in orbit, and the distances between each satellite will be controlled from 10 to 1,000 km by a high-end formation-flying algorithm. One of the possible science targets of the SNIPE mission is observing electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves. In this paper, we report on examples of observations, showing the limitations of previous EMIC observations in low earth orbit, and suggest possibilities to overcome those limitations through a new mission.

It is now generally accepted that individuals at increased risk for cardiovascular disease may be identified by certain traits or habbits. The factors such as high blood pressure, elevated blood cholestrol, age, sex and obesity are associated with increseaed frequency of disease. The blood cholesterol level lowering will decrease cardiovascular disease risk. The regression of atherosclerosis can be achieved by lowering the level of circulating cholesterol. Those things are connected with the quantity and quality of protein, fats, carbohydrates, especially soluble and non-soluble fiber, magnesium and calcium. The lipoprotein and lipid metabolism are connected with the lipid transport. The factors on lipid absorption and blood serum lipid pattern of human are exist. The factors have a variety of materials with different chemical and physical properties. The soluble fiber diet make a low blood and liver lipids. Many kind of soluble fiber results in a lowering of blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The cholesterol lowering effects of dietery fiber may be a results of alterations of in intestinal handling of fats, hepatic metabolism of fatty acid or triglyceride acid metabolism of lipoprotein. It is investigated that the high density lipoprotein (HDL) is inversely related to coronary artery disease. It has been postulated that HDL may be an important factor in cholesterol efflux from the tissues, therby reducing the amount of cholesterol deposited there. Alternatively, the HDL may pick up cholestyl ester and phospholipid during normal VLDL lipolysis in the plasma. The HDL levels are relatively insensitive to diet. At present time, the cause-and -diet effect of HDL's inverse relation to CHD remains unclear.

Ionizer is used for improving manufacturing process and reducing inferior goods in the clean room. As a general rule, neutralization of the electrostatic charge is most important to make TFT-LCD, PDP and OLED. Pulse AC-static eliminator with output voltage of about 10.5kV has been used these days as neutralization device. But this device has a problem with lower performance which was caused by particles-adhesion on the electrode when it has been used for a long time. So we studied to solve the problem with lower performance using high Frequency(72kHz) static eliminator which was produced by Piezo transformer device, and compared Pulse-AC type with Piezo-electronic device such as decay time and ion balance for 10 weeks periods. As a result of this study, we found that Piezo transformer device has been maintained normal condition for 10 weeks. Also, we made the rule by this study, normally Piezo transformer device has to clean the electrode during every 11th weeks.

Hydrogenated nanocrystalline Si (nc-Si:H) thin films were prepared by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The films were deposited with a radio frequency power of 100 W, while substrates were exposed to direct current (DC) biases in the range from 0 to -400 V. The effects of the DC bias on the formation of nanoscale Si crystallites in the films and on their optical characteristics were investigated. The size of the Si crystallites in the films ranges from ~ 1.9 to ~ 4.1 nm. The relative fraction of the crystallites in the films reached up ~ 56.5 % when the DC bias of -400 V was applied. Based on the variation in the structural, chemical, and optical features of the films with DC bias voltages, a model for the formation of nanostructures of the nc-Si:H films prepared by PECVD was suggested. This model can be utilized to understand the evolution in the size and relative fraction of the nanocrystallites as well as the amorphous matrix in the nc-Si:H films.

The Korean Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) tokamak device is being constructed to perform long-pulse, high-beta, advanced tokamak fusion physics experiments. The long-pulse operation requires the non-inductive current drive system such as the Lower-Hybrid Current Drive (LHCD) system. The LHCD system drives the non-inductive plasma current by means of C-band RF with 2-MW CW power and 5-GHz frequency. For the LHCD test experiments, an RF test system is developed. It is composed of a 5-GHz, 1.5-MW pulsed magnetron and a compact pulse modulator with $4\;{\mu}s$ of pulse width. The pulse modulator provides the maximum output voltage of 45 kV and the maximum current of 90 A. It is composed of 7 stages of Pulse Forming Network (PFN), a thyratron tube (E2V, CX1191D), and a pulse transformer with 1:4 step-up ratio. In this paper, the detailed design and the performance test of the pulse modulator are presented.

The microwave heating system of KSTAR consists of ECH and LHCD. ECH and LHCD offer the benefits ofa reliable operation at the start of plasma formation and a non-inductive current drive durable steady state operation, respectively. LHCD uses a C-band microwave system with a frequency of 5 GHz. A pulsed power modulator with a power of 3.6 MW, $4{\mu}S$, 200 pps is required to drive the high-powered magnetron. The development of a pulse modulator with 1:4 pulse transformers is the focus of the research in this study. The peak power handling capability is 3.6 MW (45 kV, 90 A at load side with a pulse width of $4{\mu}S$). This paper describes the system overview and test results of the pulsed modulator. In particular, a simulated waveform is compared with the tested waveform.

The anisotropic nature of the magnetic turbulence associated with magnetic dipolarizations in the Earth's plasma sheet is examined. Specifically we determine the power spectral indices for the perpendicular and parallel components of the fluctuating magnetic field with respect to the background magnetic field and compare them to determine possible anisotropic features. For this study, we identify a total of 47 dipolarization events from February 2008 using the magnetic field observations by the THEMIS A, D and E satellites when they are situated closely near the neutral sheet in the near-Earth tail. For the identified events, we estimate the spectral indices for the frequency range from 1.3 mHz to 42 mHz. The results show that for many events the spectral indices are larger for fluctuations in the ${\Psi}$ direction than for those in the other two directions, where the ${\Psi}$ direction is perpendicular to the background magnetic field line and to the azimuthal direction. This implies that the dipolarization-associated turbulence of the magnetic field is often anisotropic. We discuss how this result differs from what is expected from the theory of homogeneous, anisotropic, MHD turbulence.

고주파 유도결합 플라즈마(RFICP)에서의 전자온도와 전자 밀도를 Double probe 측정법에 의해서 계측하였다. 사용가스는 아르곤가스를 사용하였으며 동작압력은 30 [mTorr]에서 60 [mTorr]로 하였고, 입력파워는 50 [W] 에서 200 [W], 아르곤 가스유량은 3 [sccm]에서 12 [sccm]으로 하였다. 전자온도와 전자밀도의 반경방향의 공간분포는 아스펙트비(R/L)를 1로 하여 측정하였다. 전자온도는 입력파워에 대해서는 특별한 의존성이 없었으나 압력과 아르곤 가스유량에 대해서는 의존성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 전자온도는 입력파워를 증가해도 거의 일정했고, 압력을 증가했을때는 감소하였고, 아르곤 가스유량을 증가하면 저유량에서 전자온도는 저하하려는 경향이 있으나 유량이 증가할수록 변화는 거의 차이가 없는 것으로 볼 수 있다. 전자밀도는 입력파워와 압력, 아르곤 가스유량에 대해서 모두 의존성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 전자밀도는 입력파워를 증가할수록 증가하였고 압력에 대해서는 거의 일정했고, 아르곤 가스유량에 대해서는 증가하는 것을 나타내었다. 반경방향의 공간분포 측정에서는 전자온도는 플라즈마 중심부에서 주변부로 갈수록 조금씩 상승하는 것을 볼수 있으며 전자밀도는 플라즈마 중심부에서 가장 높은 밀도를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과로부터 고주파 유도결합 플라즈마(RFICP)에서의 생성유지기구등의 파악에 도움을 줄 수 있었다.

고주파 유도결합 플라즈마(RFICP)에서 루우프법에 의해 자기장특성을 계측하였다. 자기장 계측은 플라즈마의 거시적 변화를 시간적으로 접근하며, 반도체 프로세스의 관건인 균일하고, 고집적인 분포를 얼마나 교란, 응집하는가를 검증하고, 밀도와의 관계를 비교, 분석하여 방적의 최적화를 규명할 수 있을 것이다. 작은 루우프 안테나($\Phi$:외경 7.5mm)는 RF 자기장의 크기와 방향을 결정하기 위해 방전속에 삽입된다. 자기장의 세기는 전형적으로 입력파워 50 - 500 [W]에 대해 0.1에서 2.5 G 사이로 변화하였다. 사용가스는 아르곤가스(99.9% 고순도)를 사용하였으며, 동작압력은 20 [mTorr] 에서 15 [sccm]까지하였다. 반경방향의 공간분포에서는 아스펙트비(aspect ratio : R/L)를 2로 하여 자기장 분포를 계측하였다. 자기장은 입력파워의존성에 대해서 200 [W]까지 상승하고, 300[W]에서 안정성을 지속한다. 압력에 대한 의존성은 300[W]에서 60 [mTorr]이상 일 때는 플라즈마의 균질한 압력상태를 벗어남을 보인다. 아르곤 가스유량에 대해서는 무거운 중성기체입자가 자기장의 영향을 거의 받지 않기 때문에 일정한 경향이 나타났다. 반경방향의 공간분포 측정에서는 자기장은 RFICP의 대구경 특성에 맞게 전체적으로 일정한 분포를 이루고 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과로부터 고주파유도결합 플라즈마에서의 동작생성, 유지기구등의 파악에 도움이 될 것이다.

In this paper, maxwell 3D finite element analysis program (Ansoft) was used to obtain electromagnetic properties associated with the coil and nearby structures. The electromagnetic emitting properties were presented by 3D simulation software operated at 250 kHz and some specific conditions. The electromagnetic field in the ferrite core was shown to be high and symmetric. An LS-100 luminance meter and a Darsa-2000 spectrum analyzer were used in the experiment. According to data on the lamp tested using high magnetic field ferrite, the optical and thermal wave fields were shown to be high around the ring-shaped electrodeless fluorescent lamp. The optical or light field was high at the center of the bulb rather than around the ferrite core. The light conditions of the bulb were assumed to be complex, depending on the condition of the filler gas, the volume of the bulb, and the frequency of the inverter. Our results have shown coupling between the gas plasma and the field of the light emitted to be nonlinear.
