Possibilities and limitations in the biomechanical analysis of countermovement jump performance were examined using force plate data. Four male and 4 female sport students participated in the study. Software designed to test jumping performance was used to evaluate recordings from a force plate and to compute net velocity and net displacement measures for the center of gravity. In parallel, a f...

.NET is an emerging Microsoft’s project which promotes a new framework for Software Development emphasizing the use of Internet resources and the interaction between components written in different programming languages. Whereas functional programming languages such as Haskell are well-suited for developing tools to analyze, verify and transform programs, typical Haskell compilers do not provid...

E-CELL [3] is a cenceputually attractive biosimulation tool for representing and simulating biopathways. With E-CELL, Tomita et al. [4] have modeled several biopathways including biochemical reactions in human erythrocyte, signal transduction for bacterial chemotaxis, energy metabolism in mitochondria and lytic-lysogenic switch network of λ phage. On the other hand, we developed a tool for repr...

introduction: weed competition is one of the major factors which limit sugar beet production in the world. weed – crop interactions are based on competition for water, nutrients and light and allelopathic effects may also play a small role. in sugar beet weed interference, all these factors are important too, but the light is of prime importance. due to the fact that a lot of weeds can grow abo...

Due to the lack of representation of an object-oriented database on hand-held devices, the present work describes an approach to send the information in the form of an object-oriented database on hand-held devices. A smart phone is selected as a hand-held device and connectivity between the object-oriented databases has been established by the use of the object-oriented programming language C#....

In [1, 4], we introduced the model of net rewriting systems (NRS) and a subclass of this model, reconfigurable nets (RN), to analyze, simulate and verify concurrent and distributed systems that are subject to structural dynamic changes. Both models arise from two different lines of research that were conducted in the field of the Petri net formalism [6]. The first line covers various proposals ...

Fishing capacity management policies have been traditionally implemented at national level with national targets for capacity reduction. More recently, capacity management policies have increasingly targeted specific fisheries. French fisheries spatially vary along the French coastline and are associated to specific regions. Capacity management policies, however, ignore the capital mobility ass...

This Paper describes a hand geometry biometric identification system. We have acquired a database of 22 people using a conventional document scanner. The experimental section consists of a study about the discrimination capability of different extracted features, and the identification rate using different classifiers based on neural networks.

Techniques for cancer cell separation and retrieval from peripheral blood are not only used to prevent cancer metastasis, but also to understand its underlying mechanisms. We developed a surface-modified membrane with high specificity for cancer cells. Ethanolamine groups were introduced to the surface of the nylon net filter, and human colon cancer cell line Colo201 cells were suspended in per...
