We have measured the strange-quark content of the nucleon, {eta}{sub {ital s}}={sup +0.012}{sub {minus}0.08}, and the Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element {vert bar}{ital V}{sub {ital c}{ital d}}{vert bar}=0.220{sup +0.015}{sub {minus}0.018} using a sample of 1797 {nu}{sub {mu}}- and {bar {nu}}{sub {mu}}-induced {mu}{sup {minus}}{mu}{sup +} events with {ital P}{sub {mu}}{ge}9 GeV/{ital c} and 30{le}{ital E}{sub {nu}}{le}600 GeV. The data are consistent with the slow-rescaling hypothesis of charm production in {nu}-{ital N} scattering and within this formalism yield a value of the charm-quark mass parameter {ital m}{sub {ital c}}=1.31{sub {minus}0.48}{sup +0.64} GeV/{ital c}{sup 2}.
