3 Elias-bassalygo Theorem

Problem Set 1 is due next Wednesday. 2 Overview Today we will do the following. • Prove the Elias-Bassalygo-Johnson Bound introduced in the previous lecture. Recall that the proof consists of the two lemmas described roughly below – List decodable codes have poor rate. – Good error correcting codes are nicely decodable. • Introduce some algebraic codes along with some helpful idea from algebra....

Dynamic Elias-Fano Representation

We show that it is possible to store a dynamic ordered set S(n, u) of n integers drawn from a bounded universe of size u in space close to the information-theoretic lower bound and yet preserve the asymptotic time optimality of the operations. Our results leverage on the EliasFano representation of S(n, u) which takes EF(S(n, u)) = ndlog u ne+ 2n bits of space and can be shown to be less than h...

Elias Phocas MD (1930-2012)

We recently said our last goodbye to Elias Phocas, a distinguished gastroenterologist, teacher and friend. He faithfully and selflessly served Hellenic Gastroenterology for decades in a wide array of positions, including the Presidency of the Hellenic Society of Gastroenterology, and Presidency of the Panhellenic Gastroenterology Congress. The manner in which Elias practiced gastroenterology se...

LynA regulates an inflammation-sensitive signaling checkpoint in macrophages

Clustering of receptors associated with immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) initiates the macrophage antimicrobial response. ITAM receptors engage Src-family tyrosine kinases (SFKs) to initiate phagocytosis and macrophage activation. Macrophages also encounter nonpathogenic molecules that cluster receptors weakly and must tune their sensitivity to avoid inappropriate respons...
