Placing landmarks on number lines, such as marking each tenth on a 0-1 line with a hatch mark and the corresponding decimal, has been recommended as a useful tool for improving children's number sense. Four experiments indicated that some landmarks do have beneficial effects, others have harmful effects, and yet others have no effects on representations of common fractions (N/M). The effects of...

We show that every self-orthogonal code over $\mathbb F_q$ of length $n$ can be extended to a self-dual code, if there exists self-dual codes of length $n$. Using a family of Galois towers of algebraic function fields we show that over any nonprime field $\mathbb F_q$, with $q\geq 64$, except possibly $q=125$, there are self-dual codes better than the asymptotic Gilbert--Varshamov bound.

thalmicus, sinusitis, and upper respiratory tract infections. Physical examination was unremarkable except for a malnourished state with BMI of 14.8 kg/m. Laboratory tests inQuestion: A 64-year-old man presented with chronic watery diarrhea and weight loss for 5 months prior to hospitalization. He had 8 to 15 bowel movements per day, with a total volume of 2 L. He had been in poor health for more
