In this expository paper we show how one can, in a uniform way, calculate the weight distributions of some well-known binary cyclic codes. The codes are related to certain families of curves, and the weight distributions are related to the distribution of the number of rational points on the curves.

Radio pulsar observations can be used to test aspects of general relativity from equivalence principle violations to binary orbital effects in the strong-field regime. This article summarizes the status of such tests at the start of the meeting, and describes two new tests made possible by recent observations of well-known binary pulsar systems.

OBJECTIVE Assisted living (AL) residents are vulnerable to adverse events as a result of using numerous medications and frequently need assistance in administering medications. Very little is known, however, about the ways in which medications are managed within this level of care. DESIGN AL administrators from the metropolitan Baltimore, Maryland area were invited to participate in focus gro...

In this position paper, we disprove not only that the foremost multimodal algorithm for the development of online algorithms by Kelso et al.1 is Turing complete, but that the same is true for consistent hashing. Snarl provides multi-processors. In the opinion of steganographers, the flaw of this type of approach, however, is that the well-known psychoacoustic algorithm for the simulation of jou...

This paper investigates single-machine scheduling problems with piece-rate machine maintenance and interval constrained actual processing time. The actual processing time of a job is a general function of the normal job processing time and the position in job sequence, and it is required to restrict in given interval otherwise earliness or tardiness penalty should be paid. The maintenance durat...

A central claim of evolutionary psychology is that social status has a positive impact on female mating strategy; men exhibiting higher social status are expected to attract more women compared to men with lower social status (Buss 2015). Social status can be defined as the relative social position an individual is perceived to possess; social status refers to the estimation or status attribute...

in this article naser al-din shah’s accounts of travels to europe (safar-nameh) have bee examined and criticised in a discourse analysis approach. by using this approach, attention has been paid to linguistic factors, co-text and context of the situation (social, cultural, political and historical), and institutional position, as well as the writer's attitude which has been effective in informi...
