In this paper we explore lattice-based position-jump models of diffusion, and the implications of introducing non-local jumping; particles can jump to a range of nearby boxes rather than only to their nearest neighbours. We begin by deriving conditions for equivalence with traditional local jumping models in the continuum limit. We then generalize a previously postulated implementation of the R...

Background. The badminton forehand overhead jump smash is one of the high speed and powerful motions among various racket sports. Objectives. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of fatigue on the kinematic variable movement changes during overhead jump smash in badminton. Methods. This study is descriptive quantitative research with the pre-test and post-test design methods use...

background: physical exercises can influence some anthropometric and fitness components differently. the aim of present study was to evaluate how a relatively long‑term training program in 11‑14‑year‑old male iranian students affects their anthropometric and motor performance measures. methods: measurements were conducted on the anthropometric and fitness components of participants (n = 28) pri...

One of the major industry problems is the flow boiling, where reaching to the critical heat flux (CHF) condition can lead to a temperature jump and damage of the systems. In the present study, the effects of a uniform change in tube diameter on subcooled flow boiling and CHF was numerically investigated. The Euler-Euler model was used to investigate the relationship between the two liquid and v...

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of different postactivation potentiation conditioning activities’ volumes and intensities on countermovement jump and multiple sets of high speed kicks. Nine taekwondo athletes (M±SD; age: 20.3±5.2 years; height: 177±7.2 cm; body mass: 71.8±15.3 kg; maximum dynamic half-squat 1RM: 132.8±32.5 kg and practice time: 9.6±7.2 years) participated. One c...

We give a sufficient condition on a Lévy measure μ which ensures that the generator L of the corresponding pure jump Lévy process is (locally) hypoelliptic, i.e., sing suppu ⊆ sing suppLu for all admissible u. In particular, we assume that μ|Rd\{0} ∈ C ∞(Rd \ 0). We also show that this condition is necessary provided that suppμ is compact.

Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a cognitive task on jump-landing biomechanics and performance. Methods: 26 recreational athletes participated in the study. Participants jumped forward off of a 30cm box a distance equal to one half of their body height, then immediately performed a countermovement jump. This movement was performed in a control condition, while ...

Granular flow simulation using CFD has received a lot of attention in recent years. In such cases, CFD is either, coupled with Discrete Element Method (DEM) techniques for appropriate incorporation of inter-particle collisions, or the Eulerian CFD approach is used in which granular particles are treated as they were fluid. In the present study, a CFD analysis was performed...

This paper treats the risk-averse optimal portfolio problem with consumption in continuous time for a stochastic-jump-volatility, jump-diffusion (SJVJD) model of the underlying risky asset and the volatility. The new developments are the use of the SJVJD model with logtruncated-double-exponential jump-amplitude distribution in returns and exponential jumpamplitude distribution in volatility for...

In this study, we examine the consistency of a gravity-based predictive theory for hydraulic jump, given by Kurihara [ Proceedings Report Research Institute Fluid Engineering (Kyusyu Imperial University, 1946), Vol. 3, pp. 11–33]; Tani [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 4, 212–215 (1949)] with phenomenological condition at jump Rayleigh [Proc. R. London, Ser. A 90, 324–328 (1914)]; and Watson Mech. 20, 481–49...
