Polarization properties of radar waves that are scattered from atmospheric objects are of great interest in meteorological studies. However, polarimetric radar measurements are often not sufficiently accurate for retrieving physical properties of targets. To compensate for errors, radar polarimetric calibration is applied. Typical calibrations are performed based on measurements of point target...

We study the dynamics of systems with a polar dynamic preferred direction. Examples include the pattern-forming growth of bacteria as well as shoals of fish, flocks of birds and migrating insects. Due to the fact that the preferred direction only exists dynamically, but not statically, the macroscopic variable of choice is the macroscopic velocity associated with the motion of the active units,...

[1] The cross polar cap potential is considered an instantaneous monitor of the rate at which magnetic flux couples the solar wind to the Earth’s magnetosphere-ionosphere system. Studies have shown that the cross polar cap potential responds linearly to the solar wind electric field under nominal solar wind conditions but asymptotes to the order of 200 kV for large electric field. Saturation of...

A cross-intersecting Erdős-Ko-Rado set of generators of a finite classical polar space is a pair (Y,Z) of sets of generators such that all y ∈ Y and z ∈ Z intersect in at least a point. We provide upper bounds on |Y | · |Z| and classify the crossintersecting Erdős-Ko-Rado sets of maximum size with respect to |Y | · |Z| for all polar spaces except some Hermitian polar spaces.

Sometimes information in a network model is based on multi-agent, multi-attribute, multi-object, multi-polar information or uncertainty rather than a single bit. An m-polar fuzzy model is useful for such network models which gives more and more precision, flexibility, and comparability to the system as compared to the classical, fuzzy and bipolar fuzzy models. In this research article, we intro...

The quintuply bonded [(H)L(iPr)Cr]2 reacts with various small molecules, revealing a pattern of two kinds of transformations. Unsaturated molecules that are neither polar nor oxidizing form binuclear [2+n] cycloaddition products retaining Cr-Cr quadruple bonds. In contrast, polar or oxidizing molecules effect the complete cleavage of the Cr-Cr bond.

Flexible organic phototransistors are fabricated using polylactide (PLA), a polar bio-material, as the dielectric material. The charge trapping effect induced by the polar groups of the PLA layer leads to a photosensitivity close to ≈104. The excellent performance of this new device design is further demonstrated by incorporating the photo-transistors into a sensor array to successfully image a...

A histochemical study using lectin methods was performed on myxosporean parasites from vastly different fish hosts from marine and fresh waters. Six biotinylated lectins were used (WGA, SBA, BS-I, Con-A, UEA-I and SNA). The binding pattern of Con-A and WGA revealed the presence of mannose and/or glucose, and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine respectively, in polar capsules and valves of most of the myxosp...

One of the major activities in software design is defining software architecture. Before designing software structure and software behavior we have to define its architecture. In this paper we have proposed three-tiered software architecture. This software architecture extends application logic tier with security. We have implemented two important security issues: authentication and authorizati...
