Abstract. The "ring current'' grows in the inner magnetosphere during magnetic storms and contributes significantly to characteristic perturbations to the Earth's field observed at low-latitudes. This paper outlines how understanding of the ring current evolved during the half-century intervals before and after humans gained direct access to space. Its existence was first postulated in 1910 by Carl Størmer to explain the locations and equatorward migrations of aurorae under stormtime conditions. In 1917 Adolf Schmidt applied Størmer's ring-current hypothesis to explain the observed negative perturbations in the Earth's magnetic field. More than another decade would pass before Sydney Chapman and Vicenzo Ferraro argued for its necessity to explain magnetic signatures observed during the main phases of storms. Both the Størmer and Chapman–Ferraro models had difficulties explaining how solar particles entered and propagated in the magnetosphere to form the ring current. During the early 1950s Hannes Alfvén correctly argued that the ring current was a collective plasma effect, but failed to explain particle entry. The discovery of a weak but persistent interplanetary magnetic field embedded in a continuous solar wind provided James Dungey with sufficient evidence to devise the magnetic merging-reconnection model now regarded as the basis for understanding magnetospheric and auroral activity. In the mid-1960s Louis Frank showed that ions in the newly discovered plasma sheet had the energy spectral characteristics needed to explain the ring current's origin. The introduction of ion mass spectrometers on space missions during the 1970s revealed that O+ ions from the ionosphere contribute large fractions of the ring current's energy content. Precisely how cold O+ ions in the ionosphere are accelerated to ring-current energies still challenges scientific understanding.

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to identify differences between abnormal and normal lung signals gathered by an EIT device, which is a new, non-invasive system that seeks the electrical conductivity and permittivity inside a body. Lung performances in patients are investigated using Phase Space Mapping technique on Electrical EIT signals. The database used in this paper contains 82 registered records of 52 individuals with proper lung volume. The results of this paper show that as the delay parameter (τ) increases, the SD1 parameter of phase space mapping indicates a significant difference between normal and abnormal lung volumes. The value of the SD1 parameter with τ = 6 in the case that the lung volume is in a normal condition is 342.57 ± 32.75 while it is 156.71 ± 26.01 in non-optimal mode. This method can be used to identify the patients’ lung volumes with chronic respiratory illnesses and is an accurate assessment of the diverse methods to treat respiratory system illnesses in addition to saving various therapeutic costs and dangerous consequences that are likely to occur by using improper treatment methods. It can also reduce the required treatment durations.
