Inan *Member of USNC/URSI Executive Committee iii Description of the International Union of Radio Science The International Union of Radio Science is one of the world scientific unions organized under the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU). It is commonly designated as URSI from its French name, Union Radio Scientifique Internationale. Its aims are (1) to promote the scientific study of radio communications, (2) to aid and organize radio research requiring cooperation on an international scale and to encourage the dis­ cussion and publication of the results, (3) to facilitate agreement upon com­ mon methods of measurement and the standardization of measuring instru­ ments, and ( 4) to stimulate and to coordinate studies of the scientific aspects of telecommunications using electromagnetic waves, guided and unguided. The International Union itself is an organizational framework to aid in promoting these objectives. The actual technical work is largely done by the National Committee in the various countries. The new officers of the International Union are: President: Kristian Schlegel (Germany) Past President: Hiroshi Matsumoto (Japan) Vice Presidents: Chalmers M. Butler (USA) Frarn,;ois Lefeuvre (France) ("URSI Exposure" Officer) Andrzej W. Wernik (Poland) (Treasurer) Paul H. Wittke (Canada) Secretary-General: Paul Lagasse (Belgium) Assistant Secretary-General: Frank Olyslager (Belgium) Assistant Secretary General (Publications): W. Ross Stone (USA) Administrative Assistant: Inge Heleu (Belgium) The Secretary-General's office and the headquarters of the organization are located at Avenue Albert Lancaster, 32, B-1180 Brussels, Belgium. The Union is supported by contributions (dues) from 38 member countries. Additional funds for symposia and other scientific activities of the Union are provided by ICSU from contributions received for this purpose from UNESCO. The International Union, as of the XXVlth General Assembly held in Maastricht, Netherlands, August 2002, has ten bodies called Commissions for centralizing studies in principal fields. Every three years the International Union holds a meeting called the General Assembly. The next is the XXVIlth, to be held in New Dehli, India, 23-29 October, 2005. The Secretariat prepares and distributes the Proceedings of the General Assemblies. The International Union arranges international symposia on specific subjects pertaining to the work of one or several Commissions and also cooperates with other Unions in internation­ al symposia on subjects of joint interest. iv Radio is unique among the fields of scientific work in having a specific adaptability to large-scale international research programs, since many of the phenomena that must be studied are worldwide in extent and yet are in a measure subject to control by experimenters. Exploration of space and the extension of scientific observations to the space environment are depend­ ent on radio for their research. One branch, radio astronomy, involves cos­ mic phenomena, URSI thus has a distinct field of usefulness in furnishing a meeting ground for the numerous workers in the manifold aspects of radio research; its meetings and committee activities furnish valuable means of promoting research through exchange of ideas.

Trew ECE Department North Carolina State University Raleigh, NC 27695 The world is experiencing rapid advancement and progress in the ability to design and fabricate mechanical and electronic structures and devices with nanoscale dimensions. This ability stems from parallel advances in materials growth technology, patterning techniques, imaging and manipulation capability, and advances in characterization and testing. When taken together, these techniques form the basis for designing and fabri­ cating electronic devices and structures with atomic level control. Nanotechnology permits the realization of new devices and structures with performance potentially far exceeding that available from current systems and will keep electronic device per­ formance on Moore's Law. Materials research on the nano-scale offers the potential to produce materials that do not exist in nature, and with idealized and optimum proper­ ties, while parallel effort in nano-electronics presents the opportunity to fabricate devices and circuits with orders of magnitude increase in performance compared to present devices. Recent breakthroughs provide evidence of potential success. This effort is expected to provide the basis for the next worldwide economic boom, and these advances will affect a wide variety of applications, including wireless technolo­ gies for both commercial and military systems. Current trends in nanoelectronics are discussed, attractive approaches identified, and recent advances presented. ix Plenary-2 FUTURE DETECTOR TECHNOLOGIES FOR RADIO ASTRONOMY Jonas Zmuidzinas Professor of Physics G. W. Downs Laboratory Caltech, 320-47 Pasadena CA 91125 Superconducting detectors are poised to play a key role in millimeter and submillime­ ter astrophysics. Superconducting devices have been used in radio astronomy for over two decades now in heterodyne receivers using SIS mixers. Such mixers offer unsur­ passed sensitivity in the 100-1200 GHz frequency range, and are a key technology for the ALMA interferometer now being built in Chile as well as the HIFI instrument for the Herschel Space Observatory, to be launched in 2007. In the future, a variety of new superconducting detector technologies will be brought forward, especially for direct detection, such as Transition Edge Sensor (TES) bolometers, SQUID multiplexers, and kinetic inductance detectors.

  • Highlights and Discoveries from the Chandra X-Ray Observatory1
    Highlights and Discoveries from the Chandra X-ray Observatory1 H Tananbaum1, M C Weisskopf2, W Tucker1, B Wilkes1 and P Edmonds1 1Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138. 2 NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center, ZP12, 320 Sparkman Drive, Huntsville, AL 35805. Abstract. Within 40 years of the detection of the first extrasolar X-ray source in 1962, NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has achieved an increase in sensitivity of 10 orders of magnitude, comparable to the gain in going from naked-eye observations to the most powerful optical telescopes over the past 400 years. Chandra is unique in its capabilities for producing sub-arcsecond X-ray images with 100-200 eV energy resolution for energies in the range 0.08<E<10 keV, locating X-ray sources to high precision, detecting extremely faint sources, and obtaining high resolution spectra of selected cosmic phenomena. The extended Chandra mission provides a long observing baseline with stable and well-calibrated instruments, enabling temporal studies over time-scales from milliseconds to years. In this report we present a selection of highlights that illustrate how observations using Chandra, sometimes alone, but often in conjunction with other telescopes, have deepened, and in some instances revolutionized, our understanding of topics as diverse as protoplanetary nebulae; massive stars; supernova explosions; pulsar wind nebulae; the superfluid interior of neutron stars; accretion flows around black holes; the growth of supermassive black holes and their role in the regulation of star formation and growth of galaxies; impacts of collisions, mergers, and feedback on growth and evolution of groups and clusters of galaxies; and properties of dark matter and dark energy.

  • Abstract a Highly Efficient, Megawatt Class Constant
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: A HIGHLY EFFICIENT, MEGAWATT CLASS CONSTANT IMPEDANCE TUNABLE POWER EXTRACTION CIRCUIT FOR MOBILE IONOSPHERIC HEATERS Amith Hulikal Narayan Doctor of Philosophy, 2020 Dissertation directed by: Professor Thomas M Antonsen Jr Department of Electrical Engineering Ionospheric modification (IM) refers to changes in the ambient properties of the ionosphere that are produced by humans. The ability to control and exploit iono- spheric processes helps us understand naturally occurring phenomena like aurora, scintillations, and airglow. It also helps us improve trans-ionospheric communica- tion and develop new applications that take advantage of the ionosphere as an active plasma medium. Ionospheric Heaters broadcast high power radio waves, typically in the radio frequency (RF) band, to modify the ionosphere in a controlled manner. These facilities are permanent terrestrial installations and do not presently support study at different latitudes. However, past IM experiments conducted at high lati- tudes across the world indicate a strong dependence of ionospheric processes on the geomagnetic latitude. Mobile Ionospheric Heaters will allow for the first time, quantitative explo- ration of the ionosphere at different geomagnetic latitudes. These mobile structures must be relatively smaller than the existing arrays (small enough to fit on the barge of a ship) and highly efficient at the same time. The size and efficiency of the terres- trial heating units prevent their reuse in mobile structures. These factors motivate the need for developing novel heater units. Our research focused on a new high power, high-efficiency RF source that consists of a gridless tetrode RF tube and a highly efficient power extraction circuit.

  • Coordinated Optical and Radar Observations of Ionospheric Pumping for a Frequency Pass Through the Second Electron Gyroharmonic at HAARP M
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 112, A06325, doi:10.1029/2006JA012146, 2007 Coordinated optical and radar observations of ionospheric pumping for a frequency pass through the second electron gyroharmonic at HAARP M. J. Kosch,1,2,3 T. Pedersen,1 E. Mishin,4 S. Oyama,5,6 J. Hughes,7 A. Senior,2 B. Watkins,5 and B. Bristow5 Received 30 October 2006; revised 20 January 2007; accepted 12 February 2007; published 23 June 2007. [1] On 4 February 2005, the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) facility was operated in O and X mode while pointing into the magnetic zenith to produce artificial optical emissions in the ionospheric F layer. The pump frequency was set to 2.85 MHz to ensure passing through the second electron gyroharmonic of the decaying ionosphere. Optical recordings at 557.7 and 630 nm were performed simultaneously with the side-viewing high frequency (HF) and colocated ultra high frequency (UHF) ionospheric radars. No X-mode effects were found. For O-mode pumping, when passing from below to above the second gyroharmonic frequency, the optical intensity shows a distinct increase when the plasma frequency passes through the second electron gyroharmonic, while the UHF backscatter changes from persistent to overshoot in character. The optical intensity decreases when pump wave reflection ceases, dropping to zero when upper-hybrid resonance ceases. The HF radar backscatter increases when the upper-hybrid resonance frequency passes from below to above the second gyroharmonic frequency. These observations are consistent with the coexistence of the parametric decay and thermal parametric instabilities above the second gyroharmonic.

The sample comprises 78 ob- jects, divided into 43 Seyfert 2s, 26 Seyfert 1s, 3 Starburst and 6 normal galaxies. The spectra pertain to the inner ∼ 300 pc in radius, and thus sample the central kine- matics and stellar populations of active galaxies. The data are used to measure stellar velocity dispersions (σ⋆) both with cross-correlation and direct fitting methods. These measurements are found to be in good agreement with each-other and with those in previous studies for objects in common. The CaT equivalent width is also measured.

Using Raman spectroscopy on cancer tissues sample, which is one of the most important herbs, quantitative and qualitative analyses are performed. DNA/RNA of cancer cells was detected in the sample and the performance of Raman arrangement for measuring DNA/RNA of cancer cells concentration was evaluated at two parts using calibration graph. In the first part, spectra are containing synchrotron while in the second part, spectra are filtered and synchrotron are removed. Keywords: Quantitative Analysis, Cancer Tissues, Raman Spectroscopy, Calibration Graph, DNA/RNA, Synchrotron 1- INTRODUCTION Raman spectroscopy is a fast, cheap and inoffensive method for analyzing various types of solid, liquid and gas samples. One of the Raman spectroscopy problems about biological samples is presence of synchrotron in spectra. For removing synchrotron, there are various applied methods such as changing the laser wavelength or using Fourier transform arrangement and some theories such as shifted spectra and Fast Fourier Transform Filters [1–23].
