✦ Synopsis
There have been many characterizations of the classical curves in PG(2, q) given by the zeros of quadratic and Hermitian forms. The next step is to characterize pencils of such curves. Here it is done in the case that the pencils have a single base point. A key result that emerges from the investigation is that a certain nonclassical unital is simply the union of conics with a common point.

## Abstract Halin's Theorem characterizes those infinite connected graphs that have an embedding in the plane with no accumulation points, by exhibiting the list of excluded subgraphs. We generalize this by obtaining a similar characterization of which infinite connected graphs have an embedding in
In this paper the number of directions determined by a set of q&n points of AG(2, q) is studied. To such a set we associate a curve of degree n and show that its linear components correspond to points that can be added to the set without changing the set of determined directions. The existence of li
The propagation characteristics of the creepage discharge in a parallel-plane electrode gap with a protruding point in transformer oil are observed and investigated in detail under an impulse voltage application by using a high-speed schlieren optical technique and an LED current measurement system.
