INTRODUCTION Unintentional injuries (injuries for which there is no evidence of a predetermined intent) are one of the leading causes of death worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Although evidence demonstrates unintentional injuries are preventable it is a public health challenge for many LMICs such as the Solomon Islands. Occupational therapists are well placed...

AbsrructAn ( n, k, d) linear code over F = GF( q) is said to be ntcrximunt dktunce separable (MDS) if d = n k + 1. It is shown that an (II, k, FI k + 1) generalized Reed-Solomon code such that 2 I k 5 n 1 ((I 1)/2] (k + 3 if q is even) can be extended by one digit while preserving the MDS property if and only if the resulting extended code is also a generalized Reed-Solomon code. It follows tha...

A 26-year-old male member of the Australian Defense Force presented with a history of central abdominal pain of 4 weeks duration and peripheral eosinophilia consistent with eosinophilic enteritis. Acute hookworm disease was diagnosed as the cause. Adult worms recovered from feces after therapy with albendazole were morphologically consistent with Ancylostoma ceylanicum. As the patient had been ...

Reed–Solomon (RS) codes are widely used to identify and correct errors in storage systems and transmission and. When RS codes are used for so many memory system and reduces error in data. (255, 223) product ReedSolomon (RS) for non-volatile NAND flash memory systems. Reed-Solomon codes are the most used in digital data storage systems, but powerful for tool burst errors . To correct multiple ra...

The purpose of this paper is to study and analyze the performance and efficiency of Reed Solomon (RS) coding. In coding theory, Reed Solomon codes are the subset of BCH codes that are one of the most powerful known classes of linear cyclic block codes. Reed Solomon (RS) codes are very efficient and best for correction of burst errors and have a wide range of applications in digital communicatio...

Because of their importance in applications and their quite simple definition, Reed–Solomon codes can be explained in any introductory course on coding theory. However, decoding algorithms for Reed– Solomon codes are far from being simple and it is difficult to fit them in introductory courses for undergraduates. We introduce a new decoding approach, in a self-contained presentation, which we t...

The 17 December 2016 Solomon Islands earthquake (Mw 7.9) initiated ~103 km deep in the subducting Solomon Sea slab near the junction of the Solomon Islands and New Britain trenches. Most aftershocks are located near the Solomon Islands plate boundary megathrust west of Bougainville, where previous large interplate thrust faulting earthquakes occurred in 1995 (Mw 7.7) and 1971 (Mw 8.0). Teleseis...

In this paper, we present a new class of public key cryptosystem based on Reed-Solomon codes, a member of the code based PKC(CBPKC), referred to as K(XII)SE(1)PKC. We show that K(XII)SE(1)PKC can be secure against the various attacks. Particularly we present a member of K(XII)SE(1)PKC constructed based on the Reed-Solomon code over the extension field F28 , which is extensively used in the pres...

The Orlik-Solomon algebra of a matroid can be considered as a quotient ring over the exterior algebra E . At first we study homological properties of E-modules as e.g. complexity, depth and regularity. In particular, we consider modules with linear injective resolutions. We apply our results to Orlik-Solomon algebras of matroids and give formulas for the complexity, depth and regularity of such...
