Constructions of MDS symbol-pair codes with minimum distance seven or eight [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Symbol-pair codes are proposed to guard against pair-errors in symbol-pair read channels. The minimum symbol-pair distance plays a vital role in determining the error-correcting capability and the constructions of symbol-pair codes with largest possible minimum symbol-pair distance is of great importance.

Symbol-pair Weight Distributions of Some Linear Codes [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 In this paper, we investigate the symbol-pair weight distributions of MDS codes and simplex codes over finite fields. Furthermore, the result shows that all the nonzero codewords of simplex codes have the same symbol $b$-weight and rearrangement entries of codewords in simplex code may induce different symbol-pair weight.

Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.Abstract Ancient Maya texts are informationally dominated by hieroglyphic inscriptions and visually dominated by figural art with distinctly formed hands. The hands suggest iconographically embedded hand signs, which would constitute a unique modality of semantic expression and a discourse complement to hieroglyphic writing.
