Dear Sir: Gary-Bobo and Solomon (1968, 1971) have employed Gibbs-Donnan equilibrium studies in the assessment o f the anomalous osmotic behavior o f the red cell. In these studies, the interpretation was based on thermodynamic equations for ideal solutions. During the course of recent investigations, we have found that it is necessary to consider the nonideal aspects o f concentrated hemoglobin...

SRA's knowledge-based natural language processing system SOLOMON has been developed for text under standing since 1986 . In addition to being a domain-independent NLP system, starting in the fall of 1990 , SOLOMON has been extended as part of the MURASAKI project to become a multi-lingual text understanding system . It currently understands Spanish and Japanese as well as English texts . In ord...

Abstract. Given a real hyperplane arrangement A, the complement M(A) of the complexification of A admits an action of the group Z2 by complex conjugation. We define the equivariant Orlik-Solomon algebra of A to be the Z2-equivariant cohomology ring of M(A) with coefficients in the field F2. We give a combinatorial presentation of this ring, and interpret it as a deformation of the ordinary Orli...

With the development of computer technology and Internet technology, more and more real-time error control principles are implemented. Based on research of error control technology, In this thesis, we implement data packet’s coding and decoding based on Reed-Solomon code through looking chart; and emulate the real-time error control systems that use error control methods of FEC and FEC/ ARQ. Ex...

Error detection and correction plays a very important role in data communication. Various codes such as convolutional and block codes are available for the purpose of error detection and correction. Among the block codes Reed-Solomon code provides several advantages. Reed-Solomon codes are powerful error-correcting codes that finds wide applications in many fields. The soft-decision decoding of...

La casa de los espíritus (1982) es la primera y obra maestra gran escritora chilena Isabel Allende. Debido a importancia que recibió novela, se convirtió en un best seller fue traducida muchos idiomas, incluido el árabe. Se hicieron dos traducciones, primera, realizada por Sulayman Al Guindi (1998) y, segunda, manos Saleh ’Almani (2010). Nuestro trabajo arroja luz sobre idea diversidad las trad...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine the prevalence of common bacterial sexually transmitted infections, including Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, in women attending clinics in the Solomon Islands. METHODS We conducted a sexual health survey among women attending three nurse-led community outpatient clinics in August 2014, to establish the prevalence of bacterial sexuall...

To reduce storage overhead, cloud file systems are transitioning from replication to erasure codes. This process has revealed new dimensions on which to evaluate the performance of different coding schemes: the amount of data used in recovery and when performing degraded reads. We present an algorithm that finds the optimal number of codeword symbols needed for recovery for any XOR-based erasur...

The fruit-bat genus Pteralopex comprises the monkey-faced bats, a group of six endangered species found only in old-growth forests on certain islands in the south-west Pacific (the Solomon Islands and Fiji). The taxonomy of the genus is reviewed in detail and updated accordingly. Two ‘cryptic’ biological species are shown to occur in sympatry on both Bougainville and Choiseul in the northern So...

Reed-Solomon and BCH codes were considered as kernels of polar codes by Mori and Tanaka in [6] and Korada, Şaşoğlu, and Urbanke in [4] to create polar codes with large exponents. For codes of length l ≤ q, Mori and Tanaka showed Reed-Solomon codes give the best possible exponent, where q is the size of the input alphabet. However, considering larger matrices over Fq yields better exponents for ...
