Two antagonistic models are used to model the training-performance relationship during an eight week cycling training, with a prediction of the performances in the last week of training. Results indicated different qualities of the model fits for the test data for both models. Mean differences between predicted and real performances were 2.39% for the Fitness-Fatigue-Model and 4.43% for the Per...

It is apparent that developing dynamic models of business processes prior to their change could increase the success of business renovation (BR) projects. Simulation has an important role in modelling and analysing the activities in introducing BR since it enables quantitative estimations of influence of the redesigned process on system performances. An example is presented to investigate some ...

With more and more mission‐critical networking‐intensive workloads being virtualized and consolidated, virtual network performance has never been more important and relevant than today. VMware has been continuously improving the performance of its virtual network devices. VMXNET Generation 3 (VMXNET3) is the most recent virtual network device from VMware, and was designed from scratch for high ...

While many countries have implemented various incentives to promote homeownership, this paper investigates the literature on the relationship between this residential status and the labour market performances. Since the rather negative original contribution by Oswald (1996), the literature has been extending the analyses to more precise measures of labor markets performances, to more subtle des...

A new scheme for sequence coding based on the iterated functions systems theory is presented. The method relies on a 3D approach in which the sequence is adaptively partitioned. Each partition block can be coded either by using the spatial self similarities or by exploiting temporal redundancies. The proposed system shows very good performances when compared to other existing methods.

Background: According to recent estimates, approximately 4% 12% of Iranians experience difficulty in learning to read and spell, possibly as a result of developmental dyslexia. Objectives: The study was intended to investigate spelling error patterns among Persian children with developmental dyslexia and compare those patterns with the errors exhibited by control groups. Patients and Methods: S...

De Jong,David Peter.MS. ,Purdue University.Nuy1978.Evaluation of Access Paths in a Relational Database System.Najor Professor: S. B. Yao. The motivation for and concepts of a relational database organization are briefly reviewed, and a ~eneral model of acc~ss paths for a relational database is described. As a tool for access path desicn and selection a series of equations are developed for the ...

Three experiments tested whether the Implicit Association Test (IAT) reflects general knowledge, or whether it is sensitive to personally endorsed attitudes. In Experiment 1, participants learned to associate positive or negative attributes with two novel groups. Participants in one condition were told that the attributes accurately described the groups; in a second condition, they were told th...

This article covers a tracking appoach for multiple simultaneously flying animals. The idea is to constraint the tracking to the physically possible space without any knowledge of the scene. Accordingly, we propose to use a naively made trajectory dataset as a base to track the targets into the possible space rather than the probable space. First, a trajectory database is computed under weak as...
