Local weight distribution is the weight distribution of minimal codewords in a linear code. We give the local weight distribution of the (256, 93) third-order binary Reed-Muller code. For the computation, a coset partitioning algorithm is modified by using a binary shift invariance property. This reduces the time complexity by about 1/256 for the code. A necessary and sufficient condition for m...

Several different families of quaternary codes related to Reed-Muller binary linear codes can be found in the literature. Two definitions of such families are denoted as ZRM−(r,m) and {RMs(r,m)}. In the current paper ZRM−(r,m− 1) and {RMs(r,m)} codes are shown to be equal exactly for s = 0 (0 ≤ s ≤ bm−1 2 c). Therefore, for the above-mentioned value of s, Z4-linear Reed-Muller codes with the sa...

Introduction The D. melanogaster Muller F element is unusual because it appears to be packaged as heterochromatin, but the genes that reside in this domain exhibit expression patterns that are similar to other euchromatic genes (RIDDLE et al. 2012). This dichotomy suggests that Muller F element genes either have some unique characteristics, or they have a more robust version of the gene activat...

Knowledge of the level of pharyngeal obstruction during sleep is an important factor in deciding whether or not a patient suffering from obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) will benefit from uvulopalatopharyngoplasty. The Muller manoeuvre has been advocated as a method of obtaining this information. We compared the findings from the technique of sleep nasendoscopy, which actually allows vi...

Abs t rac t . This paper surveys work on the synthesis of reactive programs which implement winning strategies in infinite two-person games. The representation of such games by Muller automata and by game graphs (as introduced by McNaughton) is considered, and the construction of winning strategies is described in three stages, covering "guarantee games", "recurrence games", and generM regular ...

The hormone auxin plays a critical role in the regulation of plant growth and development. Auxin is transported from cell to cell with strict directionality by uptake and efflux carrier proteins (reviewed by Muday and DeLong, 2001). The polarity of auxin transport is believed to be controlled by the localization of auxin transport proteins, with both putative efflux carriers and influx carriers...

PURPOSE Müller glia have multiple functions in the retina, including synthesis of neurotrophic factors, uptake and metabolism of neurotransmitters, spatial buffering of ions, maintenance of the blood-retinal barrier, and response to injury. A population of Müller glia has some stem cell-like characteristics both in vivo and in vitro. The purpose of this study was to generate and characterize no...

The controversy over the evolutionary advantage of recombination initially discovered by Fisher and by Muller is reviewed. Those authors whose models had finite-population effects found an advantage of recombination, and those whose models had infinite populations found none. The advantage of recombination is that it breaks down random linkage disequilibrium generated by genetic drift. Hill and...

Lemaire and Muller-Hill recently reported the nucleotide sequence of the gal T gene of Escherichia coli and deduced the amino acid sequence of galactose 1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (EC 2.7.7.12) (1). We determined the nucleotide sequence of this gene by application of the Sanger dideoxy method to EcoRV, Sau3A, RsaI and PvuII restriction fragments. Approximately 80% of the sequence was deter...
