We survey the state of the art in constructions of locally testable codes, locally decodable codes and locally correctable codes of high rate.

Recent technological and scientific research has been devoted to the development of rate-controlled drug delivery system overcome physiological adversities such as unpredictable gastric emptying times residence time. FDDS are particular interest drugs that locally active have narrow absorption window in stomach. offers numerous advantages, specially having GIT, primary stomach, Prolonged retent...

In this paper we describe an implementation of a 2dimensional DCT processor and shows that the GALS (Globally Asynchronous Locally Synchronous) approach is highly suitable for implementation of such processors. Primarily it increases the design efficiency by using the divide-and-conquer approach.

We show a generic, simple way to amplify the error-tolerance of locally decodable codes. Specifically, we show how to transform a locally decodable code that can tolerate a constant fraction of errors to a locally decodable code that can recover from a much higher error-rate. We also show how to transform such locally decodable codes to locally list-decodable codes. The transformation involves ...

Maintenance and differentiation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells are controlled by complex interactions with the stroma microenvironment. Stroma-cell interactions can be supported by locally expressed membrane-spanning cell-surface (cs) growth factors. CSF-1 is expressed by stroma as a soluble glycoprotein, as proteoglycan, or as a membrane-spanning cs glycoprotein. CSF-1 regulates th...

groups of infinite rank in which every subgroup is either normal or self-normalizing are characterized in terms of their subgroups of infinite rank.

BACKGROUND Neoadjuvant chemotherapy improves surgical options and prognosis in patients with operable breast cancer. Predictive biomarkers are needed to choose the most effective therapy and to avoid unnecessary toxicity. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed the courses of apoptosis-related serum biomarkers macrophage migration-inhibitory factor (MIF), soluble cell death receptor sFAS, soluble in...
