For a smooth plane curve, the curvature can be characterized by the rate of change of the angle between the tangent vector and a fixed vector. In this article we prove that the curvature of a space curve can also be given by the rate of change of the locally defined angle between the tangent vector at a point and the nearby point. By using height functions, we introduce turning angle of a space curve and characterize the curvature by the rate of change of the turning angle. The main advantage of the turning angle is that it can be used to characterize the curvature of discrete curves. For this purpose, we introduce a discrete turning angle and a discrete curvature called visual curvature for space curves. We can show that the visual curvature is an approximation of curvature for smooth curves.

In this paper we study the property of harmonic vector fields. We call a vector fields ${\xi}$ harmonic if it is a harmonic map from the manifold into its tangent bundle with the Sasaki metric. We show that the characteristic polynomial of operator $A={\nabla}{\xi}\;in\;S^{2n+1}\;is\;(x^2+1)^n$.

Quadratic B$\acute{e}$zier curves are important geometric entities in many applications. However, it was often ignored by the literature the fact that a single segment of a quadratic B$\acute{e}$zier curve may fail to fit arbitrary endpoint unit tangent vectors. The purpose of this paper is to provide a solution to this problem, i.e., constructing $G^1$ quadratic B$\acute{e}$zier curves satisfying given endpoint (positions and arbitrary unit tangent vectors) conditions. Examples are given to illustrate the new solution and to perform comparison between the $G^1$ quadratic B$\acute{e}$zier cures and other curve schemes such as the composite geometric Hermite curves and the biarcs.

We study Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which carry the space of closed conformal vector fields of at least 2-dimension. Subject to the condition that at each point the set of closed conformal vector fields spans a non-degenerate subspace of the tangent space at the point, we prove a global and a local classification theorems for such manifolds.

In this paper, the method for dielectric constant and less tangent measurements of microwave substrates using a microstrip line is presented. The two samples of an open-ended line and a short-ended tine are made and complex propagation constant is evaluated from the one-port scattering parameter measurements. This method has been automated fully using a personal computer and a vector network analyzer.

One of typical submanifolds of a Sasakian manifold is the so-called generic submanifolds which are defined as follows: Let M be a submanifold of a Sasakian manifold M with almost contact metric structure (ø, G, ξ) such that M is tangent to the structure vector ξ. If each normal space is mapped into the tangent space under the action of ø, M is called a generic submanifold of M [2], [8].(omitted)

In present study, we introduce ruled surfaces whose base curve is the Salkowski curve in Euclidean 3-space and whose generating lines consist of the Frenet vectors of this curve (tangent, principal normal and binormal vectors). Then, we produce regular surfaces from a vector with real coefficients, which is a linear combination of these vectors, and we examine some special cases for these surfaces. Moreover, we present some geometric properties and graphics of all these surfaces.

The position vector field x is the most elementary and natural geometric object on a Euclidean submanifold M. The position vector field plays very important roles in mathematics as well as in physics. Similarly, the tangential component $x^T$ of the position vector field is the most natural vector field tangent to the Euclidean submanifold M. We simply call the vector field $x^T$ the canonical vector field of the Euclidean submanifold M. In earlier articles [4,5,9,11,12], we investigated Euclidean submanifolds whose canonical vector fields are concurrent, concircular, torse-forming, conservative or incompressible. In this article we study Euclidean submanifolds with conformal canonical vector field. In particular, we characterize such submanifolds. Several applications are also given. In the last section we present three global results on complete Euclidean submanifolds with conformal canonical vector field.

Relationships between the Ricci curvature and the squared mean curvature and between the shape operator associated with the mean curvature vector and the sectional curvature function for slant submanifolds of an S-space-form are proved, particularizing them to invariant and anti-invariant submanifolds tangent to the structure vector fields.
