We obtain lower bounds for the size of a double blocking set in the Desarguesian projective plane PG(2, q). These bounds are best possible for q Ο½ 11 and in the case q is a square. With the same technique we also exclude certain values for the size of an ordinary minimal blocking set.

Let r 3 be an integer. A weak (r, 2)-system is a family of r sets such that all pairwise intersections among the members have the same cardinality. We show that for n large enough, there exists a family F of subsets of [n] such that F does not contain a weak (r, 2)-system and |F| 2 (1Γ3) } n 1Γ5 log
We prove that the number of directions determined by a set of p points in AG(2, p), p prime, cannot be between ( p+3)Γ2 and ( p&1)Γ2+ 1 3 -p. This is equivalent to saying that besides the projective triangle, every blocking set of Re dei type in PG(2, p) has size at least 3( p&1)Γ2+ 1 3 -p.
A rigorous examination of the various multiple-quantum magic angle spinning sequences is carried out with reference to sensitivity enhancement in the isotropic dimension and the lineshapes of the corresponding MAS peaks in the anisotropic dimension. An echo efficiency parameter is defined here, whic
