Four-dimensional twisted group lattices are used as models for spacetime structure. Compared to other attempts at space-time deformation, they have two main advantages: They have a physical interpretation and there is no difficulty in putting field theories on these structures. We present and discuss ordinary and gauge theories on twisted group lattices. We solve the free field theory case by f...

In this paper, a low-power design for the Reed-Solomon (RS) decoder is presented. Our approach includes a novel two-stage syndrome calculator that reduces the syndrome computations by one-half, a modified Berlekamp-Massey algorithm in the key equation solver and a terminated mechanism in the Chien search circuit. The test chip for (255, 239) and (208, 192) RS decoders are implemented by 0.25 μm...

The purpose of this study is to analyze the history and progress Ottoman Turks for Islamic World. Historically, founder kingdom was a Turkic nation from Oghuz tribe, whose name Ertugrul, he pioneer Empire who died in 1289 AD. Later, leadership continued by his son, Uthman. Uthman bin Ertugrul considered empire. There are nine phases, namely first second phases as pioneering founding Empire, thr...

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a complication in monochorionic twin pregnancies which preferably treated with fetoscopic laser surgery. A few small studies suggested possible association between the Solomon technique and placental abruption. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The objective of this study to compare rate ex...

Enhancing the speed and competition in an exhibition of services and products motivated the companies to provide high-quality products to the customers. One of the effective strategies to reach these goals is to create working groups. These groups can help the companies to improve the quality and exposure of their services along with reducing the costs. This approach is applicable in the health...

My aim in this paper is to reassess the conceptual–procedural distinction in the light of the last twenty years of research, and to consider some possible revisions or extensions. Section 1 is a brief introduction. In section 2, I outline the rationale for drawing a conceptual– procedural distinction of the type proposed in relevance theory (Blakemore 1987, 2002; Wilson and Sperber 1993). In se...

Mathematics teaching and learning are crucial to the future of Kenya’s knowledge economy deserve a special focus in our education system. The objective study was determine effectiveness using Grapes GeoGebra on students’ graphs as compared traditional approach. This guided by Technology Acceptance Model (Davis, 1989). (TAM) explains computer-usage behavior that relates reasons why some people u...
