The binary and ternary codes spanned by the rows of the point by block incidence matrices of some 2-designs and their complementary and orthogonal designs are studied. A new method is also introduced to study optimal codes.

background: xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (xcc), the causative agent of bacterial citrus canker, has affected citriculture worldwide. varieties of means have been used to minimize its devastating effects, but no attention has been given to bacteriocins.objectives: here and for the first time, we report the isolation and characterization of two novel bacteriocins.materials and methods: secretom...

In this paper we develop a class of two-level designs that allow orthogonal estimation of certain main e ects and two-factor interactions when other main e ects and two-factor interactions are present but not of interest. The designs can be easily generated using block-crossed arrays. The application is clearly to settings in which one might apply either Taguchi’s crossed arrays or single-array...

multiple input multiple output (mimo) radars are new generation of array radars that employ orthogonal waveforms for their transmit probing signals. despite of several advantages, this strategy results in transmission of uniform power in all angle of array’s viewing field. therefore, possibility of transmit beamforming and achieving coherent processing gain will be lost. many efforts have been ...

The concept of a linear ordered orthogonal array is introduced, and its equivalent geometrical configuration is determined when its strength is 3 and 4. Existence of such geometrical configurations is investigated. They are also useful in the study of (T, M, S)-nets.

The main objective of this project is to design the full-rate Space-Time-Frequency Trellis code (STFTC), which is based on Quasi-Orthogonal designs for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The proposed Quasi-Orthogonal Space-Time-Frequency Trellis code combines set partitioning and the structure of quasi-orthogonal space-frequency desi...

This paper is concerned with designing experiments under the assumption that an analysis strategy is used that considers interactions in addition to main effects. A criterion which averages an approximation to A s -efficiency over lower-dimensional projections of the design is introduced to compare designs. A columnwise design procedure is used to construct three-level designs for six factors i...

The generalized word length pattern of an orthogonal array allows a ranking of orthogonal arrays in terms of the generalized minimum aberration criterion (Xu and Wu [Ann. Statist. 29 (2001) 1066–1077]). We provide a statistical interpretation for the number of shortest words of an orthogonal array in terms of sums of R2 values (based on orthogonal coding) or sums of squared canonical correlatio...
