... The choice of which type of electricity is called "positive" and which "negative" was made around 1750 by Ben Franklin, early American scientist and man of many talents (the stamp on the left commemorates his role as first US postmaster--and colonial postmaster before that). ... Franklin knew of two types of electric charge, depending on the material one rubbed. ... Later, when electric batteries were discovered, scientists naturally assigned the direction of the flow of current to be from (+) to (-...

... In electron-positron colliders, effect of the lattice modification by opposing bunch focusing on the equilibrium radiation emittance is important at high values of the space charge parameter, so one should correctly evaluate this dynamic radiation emittance of the weak beam, which may differ a lot from the nominal emittance, already in the linear beam-beam force model. ... The linearized beam-beam force is equivalent to focusing insertion in linear lattice of the collider. ...

Static Fourier spectrometers are often used for spectral measurements of the ionosphere emissions. There are two main advantages of Fourier spectrometers (FS) - large geometric factor and high spectral resolution; these parameters are two orders better than for grating spectral instruments. ... In scanning Fourier spectrometer optical and electric modulation of signal is used to avoid this problem, for static Fourier spectrometer there are no such ways. ...
