Abstract Firstly, we give a formula on the generalized Hamming weight of linear codes constructed generically by defining sets. Secondly, by choosing properly the defining set we obtain a class of cyclotomic linear codes and then present two alternative formulas to calculate their generalized Hamming weights. Lastly, we determine their weight distribution and generalized Hamming weights partial...

This paper is a companion paper to [19]. We provide numerical procedures and algorithms for computing the alignment of and distance between two disk type surfaces. We provide a convergence analysis of the discrete approximation to the arising mass-transportation problems. We furthermore generalize the framework to support sphere-type surfaces, and prove a result connecting this distance to loca...

An experimental and theoretical study of lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals (LCLCs) confined in cylinders with degenerate planar boundary conditions elucidates LCLC director configurations. When the Frank saddle-splay modulus is more than twice the twist modulus, the ground state adopts an inhomogeneous escaped-twisted configuration. Analysis of the configuration yields a large saddle-splay mo...

Increasingly, programs for handicapped infants and toddlers are including in their intervention activities objectives related to the quality of parent-child interaction. As a consequence, it has become necessary for programs to assess the impact of these intervention efforts on parent behaviors. This article considers tools available for assessing parent-child interaction for program planning a...

and ignorance of the various authorities granting permission to visit; but on the whole a considerable amount was seen in the time. I propose to mention arrangements made for mental defectives in the first instance by the educational authorities, in the second instance by medical authorities. I then propose to discuss clinics of more general psychiatric interest: and lastly, one important and t...

Power grasp is a grasp that can hold objects stably without changing the joint torques of ngers. Almost all studies on power grasp deal with one object. But it is more eÆcient to hold multiple objects at the same time. This paper derives a condition for power grasp for multiple objects, and de nes an optimal power grasp from the viewpoint of decreasing the work of joint torques. Lastly, we show...

Vehicular networks are the promising approach to provide safety to the drivers. It becomes a key component of intelligent transport system. A lot of research work has been done towards it but security issue got less attention. In this article we discuss about the VANET, it's technical and security challenges. We also discuss some major attacks and solutions that can be implemented against these...

We report initial findings around the Facebook and Twitter adoption trends of 840 fire and police departments affected by Hurricane Sandy. The data show that adoption increased during the time period directly surrounding Hurricane Sandy. Despite this increase, the creation of new online accounts since that time has been declining and overall adoption rates seem to be stabilizing. Lastly, the da...

Studies of the structural polymorphism exhibited by block copolymers in the presence of selective solvents are relatively recent, but very promising in terms of fundamental understanding and practical applications. Highlighting recent advances, this review progresses from ‘dry’ ordered ( ) copolymers to solvated ordered gel-like copolymers and ( ) lastly to solvated disordered but locally organ...

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my full gratitude towards Dr. Seung Soon Jang for his encouragement and support for this precious opportunity. I would also like to thank my undergraduate collaborators: Youngkyung 'Claire' Kim, Hansol Jang, and Heeyoung Yoon for supporting me throughout the research. Lastly, I would like to thank my CNBT lab senior members for providing me with continuo...
