In this paper, we analyze tactical conflicts between attacking formations and blocking formations in the phase of reception attack in volleyball, using a zerosum game model. In this model, we categorize the attacking formations into 9 patterns which consist of 3 moving patterns of forward players and 3 positions (right, center and left) from which the ball can be spiked. We also categorize the ...

Abstract Motivated by the well known fact that any nonzero solution of fundamental Cauchy functional equation may arbitrarily be prescribed on a Hamel basis, we deal with following problem: given $$\begin{aligned} E_1(\varphi ) = E_2(\varphi \end{aligned}$$ E <mml:mn...

By evaluation of an extensive yield database a biomass yield model [bym] was developed. It is based on site specific yield functions and crop rotation algorithms. In combination with geodata it is possible to calculate regional biomass on the level of municipalities. The conversion to a GIS was performed in Visual Basic for Application (VBA). Exemplary winter rye production for bioethanol in th...
