The purpose of this study was to analyze the infl uence of intellectual impairment (II) on game-related statistics which best contribute to success in basketball. Offi cial game-related statistics were gathered from 6 male teams (n = 63 players) during the 13 games played in the World II-Basketball Championships (Ankara 2013). Variables were normalized to 100 ball possessions and descriptive st...

In this paper, we consider a generalization of binomial coe¢ cients, called C– nomial coe¢ cients, dependent upon a sequence fungn, with indices in arithmetic progressions. We obtain a general recurrence relation and a generating matrix, and point out some new relationships between these coe¢ cients and the generalized Pascal matrices. Further, we obtain generating functions, combinatorial repr...

An efficient coefficient quantization scheme is described for minimizing the costfor implementing the fixed parallel linear-phase finite-impulse response (FIR) filters in themodified Farrow structure introduced by Vesma and Saramäki for generating FIR filters withan adjustable fractional delay. The implementation costs under consideration are the minimumnumber of adders and subt...

From 1984, the US has annually conducted the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) surveys to capture either health behaviors, such as drinking or smoking, or health outcomes, including mental, physical, and generic health, of the population. Although this kind of information at a population level, such as US counties, is important for local governments to identify local needs, tra...

E. Olejnik, A. Janas, B. Grabowska, M. Kawalec, AGH University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Foundry Engineering, Krakow, Poland Casting technology was applied and research was carried out on two alloys based on the Ni3Al phase with variable carbon content of 0,2 and 1,25 wt. % C, respectively. Resistance to abrasive wear, friction coeffi cient and Vickers microhardness were determined....

Computational methods are given in [3] to determine the maximum possible absolute value of each of the coe cients of the polynomials in this class when satis es some restrictions. It is also shown that there exist polynomials P and Q in the class such that each of the nonzero coe cients of P and Q have the largest possible absolute value of any polynomial in the class. The extremal polynomials ...

Many image and video compression schemes perform the discrete cosine transform (DCT) to represent image data in frequency space. An analysis of a broad suite of images con rms previous nding that a Laplacian distribution can be used to model the luminance AC coe cients. This model is expanded and applied to color space (Cr/Cb) coe cients. In MPEG, the DCT is used to code interframe prediction e...

The goal is to improve recognition rate by optimisation of Mel Frequency Cepstral Coe cients (MFCCs): modi cations concern the time-frequency representations used to estimate these coe cients. There are many ways to obtain a spectrum out of a signal which di er in the method itself (Fourier, Wavelets,...), and in the normalisation. We show here that we can obtain noise resistant cepstral coe ci...

We consider a generalized regression model with a partially linear index. The index contains an additive nonparametric component in addition to the standard linear component, and the model’s dependent variable is transformed by a unknown monotone function. We propose weighted rank estimation procedures for estimating (i) the coe¢ cients for the linear component, (ii) the nonparametric component...
