The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and FT-Raman spectra of α,α'-dibromo-o-xylene (DBOX), α,α'-dibromo-m-xylene (DBMX) and α,α'-dibromo-p-xylene (DBPX) of the configuration BrCH(2)C(6)H(4)CH(2)Br have been recorded in the range 4000-400 and 4000-100 cm(-1), respectively. The conformational analysis of these compounds was performed. The complete vibrational assignment and analysis of the funda...

Generalizing the maximum and the average error criteria for channel coding, we introduce the α-decodability, defined as the α-norm of the probabilities of correctly decoding the messages. Several aspects, such as the exponent, the existence of a strong Fano’s inequality, and the achievability of the channel capacity by random coding are investigated, and it is revealed that α “ 0 (corresponding...
