The largest minimum weight of a self-dual doubly-even binary (n, k, d) code is d = 4bn/24c+ 4. Of such codes with length divisible by 24, the Golay Code is the only (24, 12, 8) code, the Extended Quadratic Residue Code is the only known (48, 24, 12) code, and there is no known (72, 36, 16) code. One may partition the search for a (48, 24, 12) self-dual doubly-even code into 3 cases. A previous ...

Fast forward to today. PHRs are definitely making inroads, but not necessarily in the way Microsoft (or competitor Google Inc., which in 2008 launched its own consumer-oriented PHR service) had hoped. A Forrester Research survey of more than 5,200 consumers conducted in late 2009 found that almost a third of respondents had some form of PHR-but the vast majority are getting them from their heal...

Cilostazol is a phosphodiesterase III inhibitor that has antiplatelet effects due to subsequent increases in cyclic adenosine monophosphate within platelets (1). This agent also provides vasodilation, improves endothelial function, inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell growth, inhibits neointimal hyperplasia, and seems to reduce the risk of restenosis and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) afte...

conclusions in addition to the modern medical diagnostic methods, indigenous knowledge of folk medicine, especially folk orthopedics, with a little thought, guidance and planning can be considered as an appropriate therapeutic method in order to raise the level of public health without any side effects. background medical anthropology is the comprehensive intercultural systematic study of healt...
