Our purpose was to determine if females demonstrate decreased hamstrings to quadriceps peak torque (H/Q) ratios compared to males and if H/Q ratios increase with increased isokinetic velocity in both sexes. Maturation disproportionately increases hamstrings peak torque at high velocity in males, but not females. Therefore, we hypothesised that mature females would demonstrate decreased H/Q rati...

The Otolithes ruber is considered a valuable fish in the Indo-West Pacific. Estimates of the Q/B ratio and parameters of equations to ‘predict’ Q/B values for O. ruber in northwestern part of the Persian Gulf and the effects of different age-groups (age 1 to 6 year) on prey are presented. The age and food item of O. ruber were recorded on data collected from monthly samplings by bottom tra...

Ten normal digitalized snbjem and six patients with isrhemic h e m disease taking digitalis were studied to determine the otility of the Q-T mtin as a pob sihle guide to differentiating a positive and negative exercise test in the presence of digitalis. A striking decreare in the Q-T ratio in normal digitalized mhjeftr was seen with exercise. Digitalized patienh with ischemic h e m disease, bow...

Despite large uncertainties in the W ± and Z 0 transverse momentum (q T) distributions for q T < ∼ 10 GeV, the ratio of the distributions varys little. The uncertainty in the ratio of W to Z q T distributions is on the order of a few percent, independent of the details of the nonperturbative parameterization.

We analyze the proton electromagnetic form factor ratio R(Q) = QF2(Q 2)/F1(Q ) as a function of momentum transfer Q within perturbative QCD. We find that the prediction for R(Q) at large momentum transfer Q depends on the exclusive quark wave functions, which are unknown. For a wide range of wave functions we find that QF2/F1 ∼ const at large momentum transfer, in agreement with recent JLAB dat...

In this paper, we investigate the Mill’s ratio estimation problem and get two new inequalities. Compared to the well known results obtained by Gordon, they becomes tighter. Furthermore, we also discuss the inverse Q-function approximation problem and present some useful results on the inverse solution. Numerical results confirm the validness of our theoretical analysis. In addition, we also pre...

We consider the following non-preemptive semi-online scheduling problem. Jobs with non-increasing sizes arrive one by one to be scheduled on two uniformly related machines, with the goal of minimizing the makespan. We analyze both the optimal overall competitive ratio, and the optimal competitive ratio as a function of the speed ratio (q ≥ 1) between the two machines. We show that the greedy al...

We report a case of a 35-year-old housewife who had a repetitive ventricular fibrillation following cardiac surgery. This arrhythmia was induced by sinus or supraventricular ectopic beats conducted to the ventricles and interrupting the preceding T or T U wave during incomplete A-V dissociation. The cycle length (Q-Q') and the Q-Q'/Q-T ratio of the beats preceding fibrillation were significantl...

this paper deals with the threshold radius that warrants the use of single restraining rail for transit and railroads. different railways use different threshold radius from 91m to 365m to provide restraining rail. these threshold figures are probably experience driven choices. the need for restraining rail may be related to a so-called derailment alarm coefficient of 1.2 sustained over 2m leng...
