In this paper, we define quasi-cyclic(QC) generalized Hadamard matrices and balanced QC generalized Hadamard matrices. Then we propose a new construction method for QC generalized Hadamard matrices. The proposed matrices are constructed from the balanced optimal low correlation zone(LCZ) sequence set which has correlation value −1 within low correlation zone.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of Qianliening capsule (QC) against benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in vivo in a BPH rat model, as well as to investigate the effects of QC on prostatic cell apoptosis and the possible molecular mechanisms mediating its anti-BPH activity. Fifty male Sprague‑Dawley (SD) rats were ran...

Quantile Correlation Screening for Ultrahigh Dimensional Heterogeneous Data Xiaolin Chen, China University of Petroleum In this talk, we systematically investigate the quantile correlation sure independence screening (QC-SIS) for ultrahigh dimensional heterogeneous data. We unveil the question under which assumptions and correlation structures QC-SIS enjoys the ranking consistency and sure scre...

Instead of a random interleaver, an algebraic interleaver interconnecting two simple convolutional codes with feedback encoders forms an algebraic quasi-cyclic code. An (nC , k) convolutional code in tailbiting form becomes a quasi-cyclic (QC) linear code of length LnC for some L = Mn. Interleavers with a period M connect two such codes to produce a QC turbo code. The QC turbo codes check equat...

We derive a priori error estimates for three prototypical energy-based quasicontinuum (QC) methods: the local QC method, the energy-based QC method, and the quasinonlocal QC method. Our analysis clearly decomposes the consistency error into modelling and coarsening errors. While previous results on estimating the modelling error exist, we give a new and simpler proof based on negative-norm esti...

Quasi-classical logic (QC logic) allows the derivation of non-trivial classical inferences from inconsistent information. A paraconsis-tent, or non-trivializable, logic is, by necessity, a compromise, or weakening , of classical logic. The compromises on QC logic seem to be more appropriate than other paraconsistent logics for applications in computing. In particular, the connectives behave in ...
