The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare various power output estimates and estimate anaerobic energy supply during treadmill roller-skiing. Roller-skiing sprint time-trial performance on a treadmill was compared to numerical simulations of three different power output estimates; non-inertial power estimate (NIP), inertial power estimate (IP), and optimization power estimate (OP). ...

Project portfolio selection is one of the most important decision-making problems for most organizations in project management and engineering management. Usually project portfolio decisions are very complicated when project interactions in terms of multiple selection criteria and preference information of decision makers (DMs) in terms of the criteria importance are taken into consideration si...

We study one way in which stable phenomena can exist in an NIP theory. We start by defining a notion of ‘pure instability’ that we call ‘distality’ in which no such phenomenon occurs. O-minimal theories and the p-adics for example are distal. Next, we try to understand what happens when distality fails. Given a type p over a sufficiently saturated model, we extract, in some sense, the stable pa...

For a first-order formula φ(x; y) we introduce and study the characteristic sequence 〈Pn : n < ω〉 of hypergraphs defined by Pn(y1, . . . , yn) := (∃x) ∧ i≤n φ(x; yi). We show that combinatorial and classification theoretic properties of the characteristic sequence reflect classification theoretic properties of φ and vice versa. Specifically, we show that some tree properties are detected by the...

We investigate the question of whether restriction an NIP type p?S(B) which does not fork over A?B to A is also NIP, and analogous for dp-rank. show that if B contains a Morley sequence I generated by p A, then p?AI similarly preserves This yields positive answers generically stable types case types. With similar techniques we provide new more direct proof latter. Moreover, introduce general co...

NiP/Ni composite coatings with different thicknesses were prepared on coarse-grained Ni substrates by electrodeposition. The tensile tests show that compared the substrate, toughness and strength of samples multilayer are greatly improved. uniform elongation is increased from 24% to 43%, yield 108 172 MPa. In deformation process, geometrically necessary dislocations accumulate, resulting in lon...

Let $K$ be a type-definable infinite field in an NIP theory. If has characteristic $p \gt 0$, then is Artin–Schreier closed (it no extensions). As consequence, $p$ does not divide the degree of any finite separable extension o

A dopamine-imprinted polymer (MIP) was prepared in aqueous methanol solution at 60(o)C by free-radical cross-linking polymerization of methacrylic acid in the presence of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the cross-linker and dopamine hydrochloride as the template molecule. Its ability to isolate dopamine was evaluated as the basis of a solid phase extraction procedure and compared with that of...
