Increasing popularity of the naked oat (Avena nuda L.) in food industry promoted value its cultivation. Despite growing demand for grain, research about agronomy is currently limited. Aim this study were to evaluate growth characteristics with nonlinear regression models. Field trials conducted according split block design three replications. Our data consisted weekly dry weight observations co...

We report the discovery of new 27-decimal digit factors of the thirteenth and sixteenth Fermat numbers. Each of the new factors was found by the elliptic curve method. After division by the new factors and other known factors, the quotients are seen to be composite numbers with 2391 and 19694 decimal digits respectively.

Let a -ary linear ( )-code be used over a memoryless channel. We design a soft-decision decoding algorithm that tries to locate a few most probable error patterns on a shorter length [ ]. First, we take cyclically consecutive positions starting from any initial point. Then we cut the subinterval of length into two parts and examine most plausible error patterns on either part. To obtain codewor...

We describe a simple, but powerful local encoding technique, implying two surprising results: 1. We show how to represent a vector of n values from Σ using dn log2 Σe bits, such that reading or writing any entry takes O(1) time. This demonstrates, for instance, an “equivalence” between decimal and binary computers, and has been a central toy problem in the field of succinct data structures. Pre...
