We introduce an additive but not F4-linear map S from Fn4 to F 4 and exhibit some of its interesting structural properties. If C is a linear [n, k, d]4-code, then S(C) is an additive (2n, 2 , 2d)4-code. If C is an additive cyclic code then S(C) is an additive quasi-cyclic code of index 2. Moreover, if C is a module θ-cyclic code, a recently introduced type of code which will be explained below,...

let x be a banach space of dimx > 2 and b(x) be the space of bounded linear operators on x. if l : b(x) → b(x) be a lie higher derivation on b(x), then there exists an additive higher derivation d and a linear map τ : b(x) → fi vanishing at commutators [a, b] for all a, b ∈ b(x) such that l = d + τ

BACKGROUND: The use of antibiotics as feed additive in animal feeds due to the appearance of residues in milk and meat and their effects on human health has restricted. Two of essential oils with high potential for use in ruminant diet are Mentha piperita (peppermint) and Mentha pulegium (pennyroyal) essential oil. OBJECTIVE: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of essential oils...

Bayesian Optimisation (BO) is a technique used in optimising a D-dimensional function which is typically expensive to evaluate. While there have been many successes for BO in low dimensions, scaling it to high dimensions has been notoriously difficult. Existing literature on the topic are under very restrictive settings. In this paper, we identify two key challenges in this endeavour. We tackle...

The article first summarizes the assumptions of Luce (2004, 2008) for inherently binary (2-D) stimuli (e.g., the ears and eyes) that lead to a "p-additive," order-preserving psychophysical representation. Next, a somewhat parallel theory for unary (1-D) signals is developed for intensity attributes such as linear extent, vibration to finger, and money. The 3rd section studies the property of bi...

BACKGROUND Anemia and vitamin D deficiency are both important health issues; however, the nature of the association between vitamin D and either hemoglobin or anemia remains unresolved in the general population. METHODS Data on 11,206 adults were obtained from the fifth Korean National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey. A generalized additive model was used to examine the threshold le...

We study the upper tail behaviors of the local times of the additive stable processes. Let X1(t), · · · , Xp(t) be independent, d-dimensional symmetric stable processes with stable index 0 < α ≤ 2 and consider the additive stable process X(t1, · · · , tp) = X1(t1) + · · · + Xp(tp). Under the condition d < αp, we obtain a precise form of large deviation principle for the local time

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a novel feed additive on chicken intestinal colonization and carcass contamination by Campylobacter jejuni. The feed additive was composed of microencapsulated organic acids and essential oils (OA/EO). The feed additive tested was provided by Jefo Nutrition Inc., St-Hyacinthe, Quebec, Canada. Day-old birds were separated into two rooms a...

δ-Hyperbolic metric spaces have been defined by M. Gromov in 1987 via a simple 4-point condition: for any four points u, v, w, x, the two larger of the distance sums d(u, v)+ d(w, x), d(u, w) + d(v, x), d(u, x) + d(v, w) differ by at most 2δ. They play an important role in geometric group theory, geometry of negatively curved spaces, and have recently become of interest in several domains of co...
