background: identifying regional types and evaluating the frequency of pneumococcal strains has become increasingly important especially in vaccination. the purpose of this study was the identification and frequency determination of our regional serotype and evaluation of the performance of recent type specific multiplex pcr for the diagnosis of streptococcus pneumonia serotypes. methods: all i...

Spread-spectrum systems are presented, which are based on Finite Field Fourier Transforms. Orthogonal spreading sequences defined over a finite field are derived. New digital multiplex schemes based on such spread-spectrum systems are also introduced, which are multilevel Coding Division Multiplex. These schemes termed Galois-field Division Multiplex (GDM) offer compact bandwidth requirements b...
