Helsen et al. (2006) observed that during the 2002 FIFA World Cup 26.2% of all the offside situations were assessed incorrectly. For this reason, FIFA made a lot of efforts to decrease the errors when judging offside. The aim of the present study was to analyse all the offside situations during the 2006 World Cup and to make a comparison with the 2002 World Cup. Across the 64 matches, we analys...

Enhanced surveillance for infectious disease events, with accelerated routine reporting and daily supplementary reports, was undertaken during the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. We evaluated the surveillance outputs, reporting intervals and detection of World Cup-relevant events for the enhanced system. Outbreak numbers for measles, Norovirus and Campylobacter were significantly higher than in...

differential steering of in-wheel electric vehicle provides the functions of both active steering and power assisted steering with the coupling control of force and displacement transfer characteristic of system. a collaborative optimization model of the differential power-assisted steering system of in-wheel electric vehicle is built, with steering economy as the main system optimization goal,...

Cluster analysis is a field of data analysis that extracts underlying patterns in data. One application of cluster analysis is in text-mining, the analysis of large collections of text to find similarities between documents. We used a collection of about 30,000 tweets extracted from Twitter just before the World Cup started. A common problem with real world text data is the presence of linguist...

That's it, a book to wait for in this month. Even you have wanted for long time for releasing this book robocup 2006 robot soccer world cup x; you may not be able to get in some stress. Should you go around and seek fro the book until you really get it? Are you sure? Are you that free? This condition will force you to always end up to get a book. But now, we are coming to give you excellent sol...

We describe some applications of mathematical optimization techniques to yacht performance analysis. Applications include sail trim optimization in wind tunnels, match race modelling under uncertainty, and America’s Cup design optimization under uncertain weather conditions.

determining the optimal location of wells with the aid of an automated search algorithm is a significant and difficult step in the reservoir development process. it is a computationally intensive task due to the large number of simulation runs required. therefore,the key issue to such automatic optimization is development of algorithms that can find acceptable solutions with a minimum number of...
