Abstract We study the problem of determining minimum number $f(n,k,d)$ affine subspaces codimension $d$ that are required to cover all points $\mathbb{F}_2^n\setminus \{\vec{0}\}$ at least $k$ times while covering origin most $k - 1$ times. The case $k=1$ is a classic result Jamison, which was independently obtained by Brouwer and Schrijver for $d = . value $f(n,1,1)$ also follows from well-kno...

There has been an established myth of stereotype traits which good political leaders must possess, but which unfortunately as interpreted by many, are generally lacking in a typical engineer, making him unfit for such positions. In this paper, reflections and justifications why engineers are fit for leadership positions were made. It discusses some of the engineering potentials like creativity,...

We prospectively investigated the effect of personality on sexual quality of life (SQOL) in 49 epilepsy patients (23 women). Fifteen patients had generalised epilepsy and 34 had focal epilepsy. SQOL was determined using the Derogatis Interview for Sexual Function - Self Report Inventory (DISF-SR) and personality was studied using the NEO five-factor inventory (NEO-FFI). Lower extraversion and f...

Psychological aspects of Irritable Bowel Syndrome have been well investigated in Western countries, but there is a paucity of Indian studies focusing on this area. A series of fifty patients with the Irritable Bowel Syndrome were studied with respect to their depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms and their personality traits. Patients had a mean score of 14.68 on Hamilton's depression rating sc...

WIDEPHOS, a β-cyclodextrin cavitand bearing two introverted P(III) donor atoms, readily accommodates two converging Au-X fragments (X = Cl, Br, I). In the corresponding [(WIDEPHOS)(AuX)(2)] complexes, severe steric crowding within the cavity results in one of the P-Au-X rods deviating from linearity, as revealed by an X-ray diffraction study and unusual (31)P magnetic shielding of one of the tw...

A new guideline for proper allocation of multipoles in the multiple multipole method (MMP) is proposed. In an ‘a posteriori’ approach, subspace fitting (SSF) is used to find the best location of multipole expansions for the two dimensional dielectric scattering problem. It is shown that the best location of multipole expansions (regarding their global approximating power) coincides with the med...

Nowadays, most streaming data sources are becoming highdimensional. Accordingly, subspace stream clustering, which aims at finding evolving clusters within subgroups of dimensions, has gained a significant importance. However, existing subspace clustering evaluation measures are mainly designed for static data, and cannot reflect the quality of the evolving nature of data streams. On the other ...
