Acoustic predictions of the recently developed traceo ray model, which accounts for bottom shear properties, are benchmarked against tank experimental data from the EPEE-1 and EPEE-2 (Elastic Parabolic Equation Experiment) experiments. Both experiments are representative of signal propagation in a Pekeris-like shallow-water waveguide over a non-flat isotropic elastic bottom, where significant i...

The end-Permian extinction event (EPEE) considered to have been caused by the eruption of Siberian Large Igneous Province (SLIP), age which is critical for extinction-SLIP model evaluation. Tunguska Basin flora during this time, in accordance with EPEE model, supposed killed massive injection into atmosphere poisonous substances such as methane, sulfates, mercury and combastion coals. In additi...

Control and data parallelism are two complementary but often mutually exclusive paradigms used to program massively parallel systems. We propose to encapsulate both control and data parallelism in regular classes of a sequential Object Oriented language: a SPMD programming model is used and thus no language extensions are needed, provided a Shared Virtual Memory is available. We show how these ...

the aim of the present study was to examine anthropometric characteristics and selected physical fitness factors in male elite athletes (epee, foil, sabre) of iran national fencing team. the statistical population consisted of 30 athletes of fencing national team (age range 22.2± 3.67 yr) in the three weapons (epee n=10, foil n=10 and sabre n=10). anthropometric characteristics (sitting height,...

Scientific programmers are eager to exploit the computational power offered by Distributed Memory Parallel Computers (DMPCs), but are generally reluctant to undertake the manual porting of their application programs onto such machines. A possible solution to this problem consists in using libraries that hide the details of parallel computations. We show how to go one step beyond, using the full...

Clinical analyses have shown that injuries and pain linked specifically to fencing training/competition were prevalent in 92.8% of fencers. Patellofemoral pain is the most common chronic injury in athletic populations and females are considered to be more susceptible to this pathology. This study aimed to examine gender differences in patellofemoral contact forces during the fencing lunge. Pate...
