Plots of quadratic residues display some visual features that are analyzed mathematically in this paper. The graphical patterns of quadratic residues modulo m depend only on the residues of m modulo the lowest positive integers.

The projective special linear group PSL2(n) is 2-transitive for all primes n and 3-homogeneous for n≡ 3 (mod 4) on the set {0,1, · · · ,n−1,∞}. It is known that the extended odd-like quadratic residue codes are invariant under PSL2(n). Hence, the extended quadratic residue codes hold an infinite family of 2-designs for primes n≡ 1 (mod 4), an infinite family of 3-designs for primes n≡ 3 (mod 4)...

The super-Poincaré covariant formalism for the superstring is used to compute mass-less four-point two-loop amplitudes in ten-dimensional superspace. The computations are much simpler than in the RNS formalism and include both external bosons and fermions.

(here b and a run over the quadratic nonresidues and quadratic residues, respectively, that lie between 0 and p) is a unit of the real quadratic field R(y/p), and that 77> 1. The fact that -n > 1 is usually deduced from the theory of the classnumber of quadratic fields. We present a short proof independent of the theory of the class-number. As in the paper of Chowla and Mordell [Note on the non...

Palmitoylation is a reversible, post-translational modification of a protein through the addi‐ tion of the 16-carbon fatty acid, palmitate, to a cysteine residue. There are two types of pal‐ mitoylation, one called thioor S-palmitoylation in which palmitate is added to the thiol side chain of a cysteine residue via a labile thioester bond [1]. The other type, N-palmitoyla‐ tion, is the addition...

Multi-residue analysis method for penicillins was developed and validated in bovine muscle, chicken, milk, and flatfish. Detection was based on liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). The developed method was validated for specificity, precision, recovery, and linearity. The analytes were extracted with 80% acetonitrile and clean-up by a single reversed-phase solid-phase extr...

Binary optimal codes often contain optimal or near-optimal subcodes. In this paper we show that this is true for the family of self-dual codes. One approach is to compute the optimum distance profiles (ODPs) of linear codes, which was introduced by Luo, et. al. (2010). One of our main results is the development of general algorithms, called the Chain Algorithms, for finding ODPs of linear codes...
