In this paper we determine the minimal number of yes–no queries that are needed to nd an unknown integer between 1 and N , if at most three of the answers are lies. This strategy is also an optimal adaptive strategy for binary three-error-correcting codes. c © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

In this article, we determine the number of yes/no questions required to figure out a birthday (a number between 0 and 31) when up to r incorrect answers to these questions are allowed. In the language of error-correcting codes, we construct optimal (shortest possible length) codes of size 32 and minimal distance d for each positive integer d .

In this paper, a new steganography scheme with high embedding payload and good visual quality is presented. Before embedding process, secret information is encoded as block using Reed-Muller error correction code. After data encoding and embedding into the low-order bits of host image, modulus function is used to increase visual quality of stego image. Since the proposed method is able to embed...

Soft errors that affect flip-flops are a major issue in advanced electronic circuits. As technology scales, multiple bit errors become more likely. This limits the applicability of traditional protection techniques like triplication with voting or single error correction codes that can correct only one error. Multiple errors tend to affect adjacent bits, and therefore it is interesting to use e...

in this research, this possibility was investigated the relative stablilty geometry and bindingenergies of the hydrogen bonds of molybdate-phosphonic acid (mpa) complex in gas phase onthe basis of result of ab initio and dft calculations. three dft methods have been applied forcalculations are b3lyp, bp86 and b3pw91 that have been studied in two series of basis sets:d95** and 6-31+g(d,p) for hy...

  Objective(s): In SPECT, the sinogram contains scatter and lack of attenuated counts that degrade the reconstructed image quality and quantity. Many techniques for attenuation and scatter correction have been proposed. An acceptable method of correction is to incorporate effects into an iterative statistical reconstruction. Here, we propose new Maximum Likelihood Expectation Maximiz...
