INFLUENCE OF ORIENTATION ERRORS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF A MAGNETIC COMPASS ON THE ACCURACY OF DETERMINING THE POSITION OF THE PALEOMAGNETIC POLE AND THE AMPLITUDE OF PALEOSECULA... by D. A. Ushakov, I. E. Lebedev, V. E. Pavlov

“…As a result of the work performed , it is shown that: 1) the amplitudes of paleosecular variations and the positions of paleomagnetic poles are weakly sensitive to moderate and even relatively large errors in the orientation of paleomagnetic samples associated with the use of a magnetic compass; 2) very large errors in the orientation of samples lead to a significant increase in the within-site scatter of paleomagnetic directions, which makes it possible to detect and exclude the corresponding sites with a large (for instance >15°) value of the α95; 3) the influence of distortions associated with the use of a magnetic compass on the accuracy of determining the position of the paleomagnetic pole and the amplitude of ancient geomagnetic variations depends on latitude. …”

Design, Fabrication, and Characterization of a Flexible Dual-Band Metamaterial Absorber by Wang Xin, Zhang Binzhen, Wang Wanjun, Wang Junlin, Duan Junping

“…Furthermore, this design concept can be extended to the other absorber structure and the other frequency bands, therefore, which can greatly enrich the applications in antenna, sensing, thermal image, and detection. For instance, in the design of projectile-borne conformal antenna array, a flexible ultrathin MM absorber can easily be loaded between the antenna and the projectile body to reduce the radiation interference, weaken the coupling loss, and reduce the RCS.…”
