this study aimed to evaluate the effect of aerobic training with increased resistance of chest wall movement on ventilatory efficiency and pulmonary functions in untrained students. 18 untrained healthy male university students volunteered to participate in this study and were divided into two groups. they performed aerobic training with 70% – 80% of hrmax, three days a week for four weeks¬. ex...

Let f : A → A be a regular polynomial automorphism defined over a number field K . For each place v of K , we construct the v-adic Green functions Gf,v and Gf−1,v (i.e., the v-adic canonical height functions) for f and f . Next we introduce for f the notion of good reduction at v, and using this notion, we show that the sum of v-adic Green functions over all v gives rise to a canonical height f...

Height growth velocity curves between 4.5 and 17.75 years were estimated, using smoothing spline functions, for 112 boys and 110 girls from the Zurich Longitudinal Study (1955--1976). Parameters characterizing the growth process, such as peak height velocity and age at peak height velocity, were calculated directly from the estimated curves. The variability of parameters describing the adolesce...

This article tackles the enumeration and asymptotics of directed lattice paths (that are isomorphic to unidimensional paths) of bounded height (walks below one wall, or between two walls, for any finite set of jumps). Thus, for any lattice paths, we give the generating functions of bridges (“discrete” Brownian bridges) and reflected bridges (“discrete” reflected Brownian bridges) of a given hei...

We present a parametric method to automatically identify people in monocular low-resolution video by estimating the height and stride parameters of their walking gait. Stride parameters (stride length and cadence) are functions of body height, weight, and gender. Previous work has demonstrated effective use of these biometrics for identification and verification of people. In this paper, we sho...
