    Basic components of a monochromatic XPS system. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy ( XPS) is a surface-sensitive quantitative spectroscopic technique based on the photoelectric effect that can identify the elements that exist within a material (elemental composition) or are covering its surface, as well as their chemical state, and the overall ...

    The folium of Descartes is related to the trisectrix of Maclaurin by affine transformation. To see this, start with the equation. and change variables to find the equation in a coordinate system rotated 45 degrees. This amounts to setting In the plane the equation is. If we stretch the curve in the direction by a factor of this becomes.

    Definition. Let P and Q be fixed points in the plane, and let d (P, S) and d (Q, S) denote the Euclidean distances from these points to a third variable point S. Let m and a be arbitrary real numbers. Then the Cartesian oval is the locus of points S satisfying d (P, S) + m d (Q, S) = a. The two ovals formed by the four equations d (P, S) + m d ...
