Optimal depth jump height quantified as percentage of athlete stature

Reliability of percentage ideal weight for height.

AIMS To assess the reliability of percentage ideal weight for height (%WFH) as a measure in children. METHODS Forty two dietitians calculated %WFH of six children. Eleven of the 42 repeated the calculations. RESULTS Interexaminer estimates varied by 16.5 to 40 percentage points (mean 27.8). Intraexaminer variability was also large. CONCLUSIONS %WFH is an unreliable measure of nutritional ...

Encoding Quantified CSPs as Quantified Boolean Formulae

Quantified Constraint Satisfaction Problems (QCSPs) are CSPs in which some variables are universally quantified. For each possible value of such variables, we have to find ways to set the remaining, existentially quantified, variables so that the constraints are all satisfied. Interest in this topic is increasing following recent advances in Quantified Boolean Formulae (QBFs), the analogous gen...

University Athlete Transition: Making the Jump from Sport to Life

Adult height in constitutionally tall stature: accuracy of five different height prediction methods.

The accuracy of height predictions at various ages based on five different methods (Tanner-Whitehouse mark I; Tanner-Whitehouse mark II; index of potential height; Bayley-Pinneau; Roche-Wainer-Thissen) was compared at yearly intervals with final height achieved in 32 boys (78 predictions) and 100 girls (227 predictions) with constitutionally tall stature. The boys were initially seen at a mean ...

Shrub-depth: Capturing Height of Dense Graphs

The recent increase of interest in the graph invariant called tree-depth and in its applications in algorithms and logic on graphs led to a natural question: is there an analogously useful “depth” notion also for dense graphs (say; one which is stable under graph complementation)? To this end we introduced, in a 2012 conference paper, the notion of shrub-depth of a graph class which is related ...
