Hybrid Simulations of the Martian Magnetotail Twist by Jingyi Zhou, Kaijun Liu, Riku Jarvinen, Esa Kallio, Kun Cheng, Shuai Zhang, Qi Liu, Yuqi Liu, Yan Wang, Ruohan Wang, Xinye Wang, Xuanyu Shang, Zhongyuan Xu, Yi Yuan

“…The results agree with previous studies that the crustal magnetic fields cause the Martian magnetotail to twist counterclockwise or clockwise depending on the sign of the IMF Y -component in the Mars solar orbital coordinates. However, the twist is more pronounced when the crustal fields are on the nightside, contradicting the early explanation that the crustal fields affect the twist through dayside magnetic reconnection between the crustal fields and the draped IMF. …”

Placement optimization of solar arrays in photovoltaic power generation facility site by Yudai MATSUMOTO, Kento TANAKA, Masayuki NAKAMURA

“…Increasing the tilted angle of the solar array and the interval between the front and the back can reduce the shadow ratio, but the number of solar arrays that can be installed decreases, and the total amount of light received drops in the entire facility will decrease. Based on the solar orbit analysis, the amount of solar radiation with shadows on the solar array is determined using the ratio of shadows on the solar arrays. …”

Cepstrum Analysis of Terrestrial Impact Crater Records by Heon-Young Chang, Cheongho Han

“…The existence of such a periodicity has an implication in the Galactic dynamics, since the terrestrial impact cratering is usually interpreted as a result of the environmental variation during solar orbiting in the Galactic plane.
