A variety of anthropometric and training characteristics have been identified as predictor variables for race performance in endurance and ultra-endurance athletes. Anthropometric characteristics such as skin-fold thicknesses, body fat, circumferences and length of limbs, body mass, body height, and body mass index were bi-variately related to race performance in endurance athletes such as swim...

This study tests the hypothesis that evaluation of thyroid nodule (TN) margin irregularities by three-dimensional ultrasound (3-D-US) distinguishes benign from malignant TNs with greater sensitivity and specificity than two-dimensional (2-D-US). We prospectively evaluated 344 using both 2-D-US 3-D-US followed fine needle aspiration biopsy. were divided into four groups based on appearance margi...

The main purpose of this research project was to investigate the impact of Strategic Human Resource Management practices on knowledge sharing behavior among university faculty members. This research also studied the mediating role of trust and organizational commitment in the relationship between SHRM practices and knowledge sharing behavior. Following the positivist paradigm, this research ado...

PURPOSE Lower limb skin-fold thicknesses have been differentially associated with sex in elite runners. Front thigh and medial calf skin-fold appear to be related to 1,500m and 10,000m time in men but 400m time in women. The aim of the present study was to compare anthropometric and training characteristics in recreational female and male half-marathoners. METHODS The association between both...

The classification of software systems into types has been achieved in the past by observing both their specifications and behavioral patterns: the SPE classification, for instance, and its further supplements and refinements, has identified the S-type (i.e., fully specified), the P-type (i.e., specified but dependent on the context) and the E-type (i.e., addressing evolving problems) among the...

We compute a sharp small-time estimate for the price of a basket call under a bi-variate SABR model with both β parameters equal to 1 and three correlation parameters, which extends the work of Bayer,Friz&Laurence[BFL14] for the multivariate Black-Scholes flat vol model. The result follows from the heat kernel on hyperbolic space for n = 3 combined with the Bellaiche[Bel81] heat kernel expansio...

En hommagè a Pierre Rosenstiehl, Lui, qui dirige avec grand style, Ce journal de combinatoire, Mais sait aussì a l'occasion Nous raconter une belle histoire: Fil d'Ariane et boustrophédon. Abstract. This Seidel Triangle Sequence Calculus makes it possible to derive several three-variate generating functions, in particular for the Bi-Entringer numbers, which count the alternating permutations ac...
