First, a new proof of Berman and Charpin’s characterization of the Reed-Muller codes over the binary field or over an arbitrary prime field is presented. These codes are considered as the powers of the radical of a modular algebra. Secondly, the same method is used for the study of the Generalized Reed-Muller codes over a non prime field.

To the Editor: Making use of the fluorescent properties of anthracyclines they described a rapid flow cytometric assay for the determination of intracellular daunorubicin (DNR) accumulation and retention. Such a technically simple assay may offer the possibility to predict Recently, Berman et all examined the effect of tamoxifen on two cell lines that display the multidrug-resistant (MDR) pheno...

The temperature humidity index (THI) was originally developed for humans by Thom (1958) and extended to cattle by Berry et al (1964). It is currently used to estimate cooling requirements of dairy cattle in order to improve the efficiency of management strategies to alleviate heat stress. The Livestock Conservation Institute evaluated the biological responses to varying THI values and categoriz...

Abstract As a sequel to (Berman, 2008a), we show that the rotation of the Universe can be dealt by generalised Gaussian metrics, defined in this paper. Robertson-Walker’s metric has been employed with proper-time, in its standard applications; the generalised Gaussian metric imply in the use of a non-constant temporal metric coefficient modifying Robertson-Walker’s standard form. Experimental p...

Two sisters are described with a disorder characterised by mental retardation, congenital cataract, progressive spinocerebellar ataxia, sensorineural deafness, and signs of peripheral neuropathy. Progressive hearing loss, ataxia, and polyneuropathy became evident in the third decade. The differential diagnosis of this syndrome is discussed including the syndromes described by Berman et al and K...

Given an algebra A, p.(A) denotes the number of distinct n-ary term operations t :A" ~ A of A which depend on all n variables. We solve some problems of Berman, Gr~itzer and Kisielewicz concerning the sequence (po(A),pl(A) ..... p.(A) .... ) in case [A I is finite. Our methods yield new results about totally symmetric functions on a finite set.
