The V-I characteristics of low pressure discharges occurring between each of three kinds of anode and a fixed hot cathode in several bi-cusp magnetic fields are investigated. The results are different from those in non-magnetic fields as follows` First, both breakdown and maintaining potentials of low pressure discharges in the fields are rather depend on the arrangement of the directions of magnetic lines of force and the directions between two electrodes than on the distance between two electrodes or the size of the electrodes. Second, the maintaining potentials of the discharges in the fields are lower than those in the non-fields, and the electrical conductivity in the fields are better than those in the non-fields. Third, the breakdown potertials in the fields when the direction of magnetic lines of force is perpendicular with the direction of discharging path between two electrodes are higher than those when the two directions are parallel with each other. But the maintaining patentials in the fields are shown the contrary phenomena with before. This results are particularily conspicuous as the separatrix of the fields pass across the discharging path between two electrodes.

Stress and displacement fields for a crack propagating along interface between isotropic material and functionally gradient one with linear property gradation along X direction are developed. The stress and displacement fields are obtained from the complex function of steady plane motion for isotropic and functionally gradient material (FGM). The stresses and displacement in isotropic material of bimaterial are not influenced by nonhomogeneity, however, the fields in FCM are influenced by nonhomogeneity in the terms of higher order, n$\geq$3. When the nonhomogeneous parameter in FGM is zero, or in area close to crack tip, the fields are identical to those of isotropic-isotropic bimaterial. Using these stress components, the effects of nonhomogeneity on stresses are discussed.

A new roof edge detection method based on multi level scales of wavelet function is proposed in this paper roof edge and its direction are obtained in this new methods at one time. Besides. scale characteristics of detecting roof edge is analyzed. And a few new methods on fingerprint image pre-processing are described. A method segmenting foreground/background of fingerprint images is proposed, in which Prior estimation of direction field is not required any more. A segmentation method based on multi-scale roof edges is implemented. and the valid scale range of the method is defined. too. And the method is used to segment ridges and valleys in fingerprint images simultaneously The exact direction fields made up of the direction of each point in ridges can be obtained when detecting ridges exactly based on the roof edge detector, in comparison with the traditional coarse estimation of direction fields. Obviously. it will establish a solid foundation for the sequent fingerprint identification.

The dynamics of a tornado-like vortex with touching down is investigated by using the LES turbulence model. The detailed information of the turbulent flow fields is provided and the force balances in radial and vertical directions are evaluated by using the time-averaged axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations. The turbulence has slightly influence on the mean flow fields in the radial direction whereas it shows strong impacts in the vertical direction. In addition, the instantaneous flow fields are investigated to clarify and understand the dynamics of the vortex. An organized swirl motion is observed, which is the main source of the turbulence for the radial and tangential components, but not for the vertical component. Power spectrum analysis is conducted to quantify the organized swirl motion of the tornado-like vortex. The gust speeds are also examined and it is found to be very large near the center of vortex.

Let $\{X(t);\;t{\in}R^n\}$ be a measurable, separable and H-sssis random fields. Here, we suppose that the increments are invariant under all Euclidean rigid body motions. We investigate some properties of H-sssis random fields and monotonicity of projection process $\{X_e(t);\;t{\in}R^1\}$ in any direction $e{\in}R^n$.

The polarized direction of MT field was analyzed using the MT dataset measured in the Korean Peninsula. The atmospherics above 1 Hz has a large dispersion of polarized direction, whereas the Schumann resonance near 8 Hz exhibits the predominant direction ranging from $N20^{\circ}W$ to NS. The electromagnetic field variations below 0.1 Hz, induced by magnetic pulsations, show a strongly polarized direction of nearly NS. It results from the regular pulsations since the regular pulsation fields, driven by Alfv.n's wave in the magnetosphere, has a worldwide predominant direction of NS. The MT field strongly polarized along NS direction causes the poorly behaved XY impedance.

A Reversed Field Pinch(RFP) Plasma automatically forms the reversed field configuration in a stable state by the self-reversal phenomenon. But this process of formation of the reversed field configuration has a problem that instabilities occur. In order to form a RFP configuration in a stable state by removing instabilities, this experimental study attempts to restrain Toroidal magnetic fields and supplement Toroidal flux by employing high frequency rotating fields. As a result, the reversed magnetic field configuration is stably formed in a short period because high frequency rotating fields can deflect poloidal currents and produce magnetic fields in the Toroidal direction.

The classification of fingerprint images is to classify fingerprint images into varies fingerprint types, it is very important in automatic fingerprint recognition. In this paper, a new singular points detection technique was presented. A direction uniform measure is defined to describe the changes of direction fields in a certain neighborhood of fingerprint images. Singular points can be detected by adopting the measure. It should be pointed out that singular points in accurate positions would be obtained in this ways. And an improved Poincare exponential algorithm is presented to identify core points and triangle points. In this paper. making use of 102 experimental fingerprint images datas and attained 7.8% classification errors. This was better than experimental result of abstract [9]. It is possible to use on-line fingerprint images classification.

Strands composing multistage superconducting cables for AC power applications have twisted structure in each stage for lower AC loss and higher stability. So, when transport currents flow in a cable, each strand is exposed to longitudinal and azimuthal magnetic fields produced by transport current flowing in strand itself and Iongitudinal and transverse magnetic fields by transport current flowing in twisted cable. In this paper. we study the influence on self field lesses generated in second stage superconducting cable for different twist direction of filaments in a strand considering twist of strands in cables.

An ionization front (IF) surrounding an H II region is a sharp interface through which a cold neutral gas makes transition to a warm ionized phase by absorbing UV photons from central massive stars. We investigate the structure and instability of a plane-parallel D-type IF threaded by magnetic fields parallel to the front. We find that magnetic fields increase the maximum propagation speed of the IFs, while reducing the expansion factor, defined as the density ratio of neutral to ionized phases. IFs become unstable to distortional perturbations due to gas expansion across the fronts, exactly analogous to the Darrieus-Landau instability of ablation fronts in terrestrial flames. The growth rate of the IF instability is proportional linearly to the perturbation wavenumber as well as the upstream flow speed. The IF instability is stabilized by gas compressibility and becomes completely quenched when the front is D-critical. The instability is also stabilized by magnetic pressure when the perturbations propagate in the direction perpendicular to the fields. When the perturbations propagate in the direction parallel to the fields, on the other hand, it is magnetic tension that reduces the growth rate, completely suppressing the instability when ${\beta}$ < 1.5, with ${\beta}$ denoting the square of the ratio of the sound speed to the Alfven speed in the pre-IF region. When the front experiences an acceleration, the IF instability cooperates with the Rayleigh-Taylor instability to make the front more unstable. We discuss potential effects of IF instability on the evolution and dynamics of IFs in the interstellar medium.
