In 1959, Professor N. A. Court [2] generated synthetically a twisted cubic C circumscribing a tetrahedron T as the poles for T of the planes of a coaxal family whose axis is called the Lemoine axis of C for T. Here is an analytic attempt to relate a normal rational curve rn of order n, whose natural home is an n-space [n], with its Lemoine [n—2] L such that the first polars of points in L for a simplex S inscribed to rn pass through rn anf the last polars of points on rn for S pass through L. Incidently we come across a pair of mutually inscribed or Moebius simplexes but as a privilege of odd spaces only. In contrast, what happens in even spaces also presents a case, not less interesting, as considered here.

Let c = ( c 1 , . . . , c r ) be a set of curves forming a minimum base on a surface, which, under a self-transformation, T , of the surface, transforms into a set T c expressible by the equivalences T c = Tc, where T is a square matrix of integers. Further, let the numbers of common points of pairs of the curves, c i , c j , be written as a symmetrical square matrix Г. Then the matrix T satisfies the equation TГT' = Г. The significance of solutions of this equation for a given matrix Г is discussed, and the following special surfaces are investigated: §§4-7. Surfaces, in particular quartic surfaces, wìth only two base curves. Self-transformations of these depend on the solutions of the Pell equation u 2 - kv 2 = 1 (or 4). §8. The quartic surface specialized only by being made to contain a twisted cubic curve. This surface has an involutory transformation determined by chords of the cubic, and has only one other rational curve on it, namely, the transform of the cubic. The appropriate Pell equation is u 2 - 17 v 2 = 4. §9. The quartic surface specialized only by being made to contain a line and a rational curve of order m to which the line is ( m - 1)⋅secant (for m = 1 the surface is made to contain two skew lines). The surface has two infinite sequences of self-transformations, expressible in terms of two transformations R and S , namely, a sequence of involutory transformations R S n , and a sequence of non-involutory transformations S n .

We studied a particular class of well known error-correcting codes known as Reed–Solomon codes. We constructed RS codes as algebraic-geometric codes from the normal rational curve. This approach allowed us to study some algebraic representations of RS codes through the study of the general linear group GL(n,q). We characterized the coefficients that appear in the decompostion of an irreducible representation of the special linear group in terms of Gromov–Witten invariants of the Hilbert scheme of points in the plane. In addition, we classified all the algebraic codes defined over the normal rational curve, thereby providing an algorithm to compute a set of generators of the ideal associated with any algebraic code constructed on the rational normal curve (NRC) over an extension Fqn of Fq.

The principal theorem to be proved in this part is: Theorem II. If in IIn a normal rational curve, ρ, and a quadric primal S are such that there is a proper simplex inscribed in ρ and self-polar with regard to S, then there exist sets of N, = (2n+1/2), chords of р every two of which are conjugate with regard to S. A set can be constructed to contain any pair of chords of р which are conjugate with regard to S.

Electromagnetic radiation is emitted when fast (relativistic) electrons pass through crystal targets which are oriented in a preferential (channelling) direction with respect to the incident beam. In the classical sense, the electrons perform sinusoidal oscillations as they propagate through the crystal (as illustrated in Fig. 1 for the case of planar channelling). When viewed in the electron rest frame, this motion, a result of successive Bragg reflections, gives rise to familiar dipole emission. In the laboratory frame, the radiation is seen to be of a higher energy (because of the Doppler shift) and is also compressed into a narrower cone of emission (due to the relativistic “searchlight” effect). The energy and yield of this monochromatic light is a continuously increasing function of the incident beam energy and, for beam energies of 1 MeV and higher, it occurs in the x-ray and γ-ray regions of the spectrum. Consequently, much interest has been expressed in regard to the use of this phenomenon as the basis for fabricating a coherent, tunable radiation source.

It is well known that a large flux of electrons must pass through a specimen in order to obtain a high resolution image while a smaller particle flux is satisfactory for a low resolution image. The minimum particle flux that is required depends upon the contrast in the image and the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio at which the data are considered acceptable. For a given S/N associated with statistical fluxtuations, the relationship between contrast and “counting statistics” is s131_eqn1, where C = contrast; r2 is the area of a picture element corresponding to the resolution, r; N is the number of electrons incident per unit area of the specimen; f is the fraction of electrons that contribute to formation of the image, relative to the total number of electrons incident upon the object.
