Abstract


Stochastic differential equation of the phase fluctuations is derived for the collision conductive magnetized plasma in the polar ionosphere applying the complex geometrical optics approximation. Calculating second order statistical moments it was shown that the contribution of the longitudinal conductivity substantially exceeds both Pedersen and Hall’s conductivities. Experimentally observing the broadening of the spatial power spectrum of scattered electromagnetic waves which equivalent to the brightness is analyzed for the elongated ionospheric irregularities. It was shown that the broadening of the spectrum and shift of its maximum in the plane of the location of an external magnetic field (main plane) less than in perpendicular plane for plasmonic structures having linear scale tenth of kilometer; and substantially depends on the penetration angle of an incident wave in the conductive collision turbulent magnetized ionospheric plasma. The angle-of-arrival (AOA) in the main plane has the asymmetric Gaussian form while in the perpendicular plane increases at small anisotropy factors and then tends to the saturation for the power-low spectrum characterizing electron density fluctuations. Longitudinal conductivity fluctuations increase the AOAs of scattered radiation than in magnetized plasma with permittivity fluctuations. Broadening of the temporal spectrum containing the drift velocity of elongated ionospheric irregularities in the polar ionosphere allows to solve the reverse problem restoring experimentally measured velocity of the plasma streams and characteristic linear scales of anisotropic irregularities in the terrestrial ionosphere.

Experimental Simulation of Red Sprites in a Laboratory

Experimental Simulation of Red Sprites in a Laboratory DOI:  https://doi.org/10.30564/jasr.v5i3.4858 Abstract Over the past three decades, research of high-altitude atmospheric discharges has received a lot of attention. This paper presents the results of experimental modeling of red sprites during a discharge in low-pressure air. To initiate ionization waves in a quartz tube, an electrodeless pulseperiodic discharge fed by microsecond voltage pulses with an amplitude of a few kilovolts and a repetition rate of tens of kHz were formed. In this case ionization waves (streamers) have a length of tens of centimeters. The main plasma parameters were measured at various distances along the tube. The measurements confirm the fact that ionization waves propagate in opposite directions from the zone of the main electrodeless discharge, just as it happens during the formation of red sprites.

Analysis of Chinese Citizens’ Perception and Its Differences of City Spirit: A Case Study of Hefei City DOI:  https://doi.org/10.30564/jgr.v5i3.4788 Abstract City spirit is the soul of the city. The spread of city spirit not only could establish a civilized specimen for citizens, but also create a good cultural atmosphere for the city. Hefei residents’ perception of city spirit is extensive, and most of Hefei citizens consider the expression words of city spirit are very appropriate, which is enlightened, open-minded, actual and innovate. Great majority of Hefei citizens willing to support the propaganda and promotion of the city spirit, and they think the promotion of the city spirit plays a key role in the way of city’s development. In addition,significant differences in the perception of urban spirituality emerge among residents with different economic and social characteristics. There are four aspects about how to enhance the public perception of city spirit, which including in...
