Studies on bacteria 1875

endeavored, in association with my friend Herr Oberstabsarzt Dr. Schroeter, to study bacteria with the aid of the more perfect optical systems now available to us. Since Schroeter left this plant physiological institute in the summer of 1870, I have carried on these studies alone. I have first attempted to discover the biological relationships of the bacteria as well as to arrive at a decision ...

3 Elias-bassalygo Theorem

Problem Set 1 is due next Wednesday. 2 Overview Today we will do the following. • Prove the Elias-Bassalygo-Johnson Bound introduced in the previous lecture. Recall that the proof consists of the two lemmas described roughly below – List decodable codes have poor rate. – Good error correcting codes are nicely decodable. • Introduce some algebraic codes along with some helpful idea from algebra....

Dynamic Elias-Fano Representation

We show that it is possible to store a dynamic ordered set S(n, u) of n integers drawn from a bounded universe of size u in space close to the information-theoretic lower bound and yet preserve the asymptotic time optimality of the operations. Our results leverage on the EliasFano representation of S(n, u) which takes EF(S(n, u)) = ndlog u ne+ 2n bits of space and can be shown to be less than h...
