In Part I we present and discuss implementations of both well-known and novel algorithms for fundamental problems of linear algebra over the field with two elements GF(2). In particular, we present the best known implementations for matrix-matrix multiplication and matrix decomposition for dense matrices over GF(2). These implementations are based on novel variants of the “M4RM” multiplication ...

To understand the relative contributions of primary motor cortex (M1) and area F5 of the ventral premotor cortex (PMv) to visually guided grasp, we made simultaneous multiple electrode recordings from the hand representations of these two areas in two adult macaque monkeys. The monkeys were trained to fixate, reach out and grasp one of six objects presented in a pseudorandom order. In M1 326 ta...

We demonstrate that in the macaque monkey there is robust, short-latency facilitation by ventral premotor cortex (area F5) of motor outputs from primary motor cortex (M1) to contralateral intrinsic hand muscles. Experiments were carried out on two adult macaques under light sedation (ketamine plus medetomidine HCl). Facilitation of hand muscle electromyograms (EMG) was tested using arrays of fi...

S. cerevisiae strains were isolated and identified from vineyards the spontaneous fermentation must at eastern foot of Helan Mountain in China, their oenological properties abilities analyzed. From total 199 identified, 14 isolates (F4-13, F5-7, F5-9, F5-12, F5-18, F5-19, F5-21, F6-8, F6-23, F9-23, SXY-4, HT-10, ZXY-17, MXY-19) exhibited excellent tolerance to sugar, SO2, ethanol. Among isolate...

Trivium is a bit-based stream cipher in the final portfolio of the eSTREAM project. In this paper, we apply the approach of Berbain et al. to Trivium-like ciphers and perform new algebraic analyses on them, namely Trivium and its reduced versions: Trivium-N , Bivium-A and Bivium-B. In doing so, we answer an open question in the literature. We demonstrate a new algebraic attack on Bivium-A. This...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of exercise on plasma tryptophan (TRP) and free serotonin (f5-HT), whole blood-5-HT (WB-5-HT) and f5-HT/WB-5-HT ratio in Italian Saddle horses. Six clinically healthy Italian Saddle horses were subjected to a 450 meters obstacles course. Blood samples were collected from each horse by jugular venipuncture using vacutainer tubes with K(3)-E...

Observation of actions performed by others activates monkey ventral premotor cortex, where action meaning, but not object identity, is coded. In a functional MRI (fMRI) study, we investigated whether other monkey frontal areas respond to actions performed by others. Observation of a hand grasping objects activated four frontal areas: rostral F5 and areas 45B, 45A, and 46. Observation of an indi...

The purpose of this paper is to improve the upper bounds of the minimum distances of self-dual codes over F5 for lengths 22, 26, 28, 32 − 40. In particular, we prove that there is no [22, 11, 9] self-dual code over F5, whose existence was left open in 1982. We also show that both the Hamming weight enumerator and the Lee weight enumerator of a putative [24, 12, 10] self-dual code over F5 are un...
