Cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization observations will require superb control of systematic errors in order to achieve their full scientific potential, particularly in the case of attempts to detect the B modes that may provide a window on inflation. Interferometry may be a promising way to achieve these goals. This paper presents a formalism for characterizing the effects of a variet...

Measuring the coronal vector magnetic field is still a major challenge in solar physics. This is due to the intrinsic weakness of the field (e.g., ∼ 4G at a height of 0.1R⊙ above an active region) and the large thermal broadening of coronal emission lines. We propose using concurrent linear polarization measurements of near-infrared forbidden and permitted lines together with Hanle effect model...

in this paper we will prove that if $l$ is a continuous symmetric n-linear form on a hilbert spaceand $widehat{l}$ is the associated continuous n-homogeneous polynomial, then $||l||=||widehat{l}||$.for the proof we are using a classical generalized  inequality due to s. bernstein for entire functions of exponential type. furthermore we study the case that if x is a banach space then we have tha...

The performance of an Imidazoline based commercial corrosion inhibitor on CO2 corrosion of mild steel was investigated in a Cl- containing solution employing linear polarization resistance (LPR), potentiodynamic polarization and monitoring corrosion potential techniques. Experimental results showed that an increase of the commercial inhibitor concentration up to 500 ppm increases the RP value a...

In the context of highly efficient, non-toxic and natural organic corrosion inhibitors, Phyllogorgia dilatata was studied as an anticorrosive for mild steel in acid medium. The marine octocoral crude extract (PDCE) was characterized and analyzed by LC-HRMS, revealing the presence of 16 different organic molecules. The corrosion inhibition was evaluated via weight loss study and electrochemical ...

In a coor cross-polarized channel, the polarization states of the transmitting and receiving antennas are the same or orthogonal, and the corresponding target nulls (i.e., the CO-POL Nulls or X-POL Nulls) are defined as the polarization states of the transmitting antenna such that the received power equals zero. However, no systematic studies have been carried out to solve the problem of the co...

We present a new survey for pulsars in the error boxes of the low-latitude EGRET sources 3EG J1027−5817, 3EG J1800−2338 and 3EG J1810−1032. Although all of these sources have been covered by previous pulsar surveys, the recent discovery of the young, energetic pulsar PSR J1410−6132 at 6.7 GHz has shown that pulsars of this type can be hidden from low frequency surveys. Using an observing freque...

The use of an APPLE II undulator is extremely important for providing a high-brilliance X-ray beam with the capability to switch between various photon beam polarization states. A high-precision soft X-ray polarimeter has been used to systematically investigate the polarization characteristics of the two helical APPLE II undulators installed on beamline I06 at Diamond Light Source. A simple dat...

We have used the University of Tasmania Mt Pleasant 26-m radio telescope to investigate the polarisation characteristics of a sample of strong 6.7GHz methanol masers, the first spectral line polarisation observations to be undertaken with this instrument. As part of this process we have developed a new technique for calibrating linear polarisation spectral line observations. This calibration me...
