The aim of the study was to compare bone properties of two groups of students which strongly differ in the level of their everyday physical activity; the School of Medicine (SM) students and the Faculty of Physical Education (FPE) students, University of Zagreb. Quantitative ultrasound parameters--broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) and speed of sound (SOS) were measured. Quantitative ultras...

The movement of piston in free-piston expander-linear generator (FPE-LG) mainly depends on the dynamic force balance among four kinds forces (air impetus, air resistance, electromagnetic resistance and frictional resistance). In this paper, Newton's Second Law first law thermodynamics are used to analyze single-piston FPE-LG, change work produced by analyzed. Nominal work-electricity conversion...

Abstract In this chapter, we explore how applying a feminist political ecology (FPE) lens to ageing shows experiences are relational and dynamic processes of embodying everyday practices ethics care. We apply writings on post-capitalist community economies rupturist gerontology FPE intersectional thinking link them two studies in Japan Uruguay. analyse as part socionatural relations the care in...

Cortex Eucommia has been used as a kidney-tonifying herbal medicine with a long history of compatibility with Fructus Psoraleae. Geniposide (GP) and geniposidic acid (GPA) are the two main chemical components in Cortex Eucommia. In the present study, the effects of Fructus Psoraleae extract (FPE) on intestinal absorption kinetics of GP and GPA in rat were investigated. Twenty four male Sprague-...

In this paper, flow shop scheduling problems with total flowtime minimization is considered. IRZ (iterative RZ, presented by Rajendran and Ziegler, EJOR, 1997) is found to be effective to improve solutions and LR (developed by Liu & Reeves, EJOR, 2001) is suitable for initial solution developing. By integrating FPE (forward pair wise exchange) and FPE-R(forward pair wise exchangerestart) with I...

Schemes for FPE enable one to encrypt Social Security numbers (SSNs), credit card numbers (CCNs), and the like, doing so in such a way that the ciphertext has the same format as the plaintext. In the case of SSNs, for example, this means that the ciphertext, like the plaintext, consists of a nine decimal-digit string. Similarly, encryption of a 16-digit CCN results in a 16-digit ciphertext. FPE...

This paper addresses the assessment of generalization performance of neural network models by use of empirical techniques. We suggest to use the cross-validation scheme combined with a resampling technique to obtain an estimate of the generalization performance distribution of a specific model. This enables the formulation of a bulk of new generalization performance measures. Numerical results ...

Timely risk information acquisition and diagnosis during foundation pit excavation (FPE) processes are vital for ensuring the safe effective construction of underground urban infrastructures. Unfortunately, diverse geological hydrogeological conditions complex shapes create barriers reliable FPE prognosis control. Furthermore, typical support systems use temporary measures, which have limited c...

The 1D Fokker-Planck equation (FPE) plays a major role in the propagation of light universe. It specifically describes small angle scattering photons (and electrons) as they travel participating media. In particular, differential term representing phase function law enables scattering. This also makes FPE challenge to solve discrete ordinate sense. Our approach utilizes adding and doubling, whi...
