It seems using the Maxwell-Stefan (M-S) diffusion model in combination with the vacancy solution theory (VST) and the single-component adsorption data provides a superior, qualitative, and quantitative prediction of diffusion in zeolites. In the M-S formulation, thermodynamic factor (Г) is an essential parameter which must be estimated by an adsorption isotherm. Researchers usually utilize the ...

sentences. In two related experiments, Wippich found integration effects that strongly favored concrete over abstract sentences in results from recognition, reconstruction, and inference tasks that tapped various aspects of text processing. His conclusions strongly support the dual coding view of qualitative differences in the integration of concrete and abstract sentences and texts. Paivio (in...

A central question in cognitive neuroscience is how unitary, coherent decisions at the whole organism level can arise from the distributed behavior of a large population of neurons with only partially overlapping information. We address this issue by studying neural spiking behavior recorded from a multielectrode array with 169 channels during a visual motion direction discrimination task. It i...

The concepts from information theory are applicable in many areas as it gives a precise mathematical way of stating and answering the following question: How much information is revealed by the outcome of a random event? Let us begin with a few simple examples. Let X be a random variable which takes the value a with probability 1/2 and b with probability 1/2. We can then describe the value of X...

In information theory, it has been shown that network coding can effectively improve the throughput of multicast communication sessions in directed acyclic graphs. More practically, random network coding is also instrumental towards improving the downloading performance in BitTorrent-like peerto-peer content distribution sessions. Live peer-to-peer streaming, however, poses unique challenges to...

in this paper we develop a natural generalization of schauder basis theory, we term operator-valued basis or simply ov-basis theory, using operator-algebraic methods. we prove several results for ov-basis concerning duality, orthogonality, biorthogonality and minimality. we prove that the operators of a dual ov-basis are continuous. we also de ne the concepts of bessel, hilbert ov-basis and obt...

A major problem in coding theory is the question if the class of cyclic codes is asymptotically good. In this paper we introduce as a generalization of cyclic codes the notion of transitive codes (see Definition 1.4 in Section 1), and we show that the class of transitive codes is asymptotically good. Even more, transitive codes attain the Tsfasman-Vladut-Zink bound over Fq, for all squares q = ...

Symmetry is at the heart of coding theory. Codes with symmetry, especially cyclic codes, play an essential role in both theory and practical applications of classical error-correcting codes. Here we examine symmetry properties for codeword stabilized (CWS) quantum codes, which is the most general framework for constructing quantum error-correcting codes known to date. A CWS code Q can be repres...
