A split complete weight enumerator in six variables is used to study the 3-colored designs held by codewords of xed composition in Type III codes containing the all-one codeword. In particular the ternary Golay code contains 3-colored 3-designs. We conjecture that every weight class in a Type III code with the all-one codeword holds 3-colored 3-designs.

A general decoding method for cyclic codes is presented which gives promise of substantially reducing the complexity of decoders at the cost of a modest increase in decoding time (or delay). Significant reductions in decoder complexity for binary cyclic finite-geometry codes are demonstrated, and two decoding options for the Golay code are presented.

We consider algorithms of the Waltz type for computing local consistency (also called arc-consistency) for constraints over numeric domains. Many commonly used propagation rules do not in fact enforce local consistency. We extend the propagation rule given by Falt-ings Faltings, 1994] to the case of ternary constraints. Since any general n-ary continuous constraint can be represented as a colle...

Following the Larson prescription for modelling amphiphilic molecules m ternary microemulsions, we develop a microscopic lattice model for a pseudo-ternary

objective(s): the objective of this study was to design a topical microemulsion of vit b12 and to study the correlation between internal structure and physicochemical properties of the microemulsions. microemulsions are thermodynamically stable mixtures of water, oil, surfactants and usually cosurfactants with several advantages for topical and transdermal drug delivery. the formulation of micr...

We demonstrate a tunable electron-blocking layer to enhance the performance of an Earth-abundant metal-oxide solar-cell material. A 5 nm thick amorphous ternary metal-oxide buffer layer reduces interface recombination, resulting in sizable open-circuit voltage and efficiency enhancements. This work emphasizes the importance of interface engineering in improving the performance of Earth-abundant...

Jankov (characteristic) formulas were introduced 50 years ago in [7] and proved to be a very useful tool for studying a broad range of logics, e.g. intermediate, modal, fuzzy, relevant, many-valued, etc. All these different logics have one thing in common: in one or the other form they admit the deduction theorem. From the standpoint of algebraic logic it means that their corresponding varietie...

The rate of the degenerate isomerization of A^-hexafluoroisopropylidene-V,V-dimethyl-/?-phenylenediamine was measured by high-pressure F NMR spectroscopy in a viscous hydrocarbon, 2,4-dicyclohexyl-2-methylpentane. Pressure-induced retardations that cannot be rationalized within the framework of the transition state theory (TST) were observed, and it was concluded that the reaction was cast into...
