In this paper we present two algorithms for the following problem: given a string and a rational e > 1, detect in the online fashion the earliest occurrence of a repetition of exponent ≥ e in the string. 1. The first algorithm works in O(n log σ) time and linear space, where n is the length of the input string and σ is the number of distinct letters. This algorithm is relatively simple and requ...

BACKGROUND The construct validity of fresh human cadaver as a training tool has not been established previously. The aims of this study were to investigate the construct validity of fresh frozen human cadaver as a method of training in minimal access surgery and determine if novices can be rapidly trained using this model to a safe level of performance. METHODS Junior surgical trainees, novi...

SUPPLEMENT 1. DETAILS OF TRAINING SCHEDULE This supplement shows the detailed training schedule during the 10-week preseason training period. The Eccentric Hamstring Sessions The hamstring sessions were progressively incorporated into the training schedule. At the beginning of the 10-week preseason period, players performed one set of five repetitions, once per week. The volume of eccentric ham...

This study aimed to the digestibility quality of Elephant Grass (Pennisetum purpureum) and concentrate with addition urea molasses in vitro. The was conducted vitro using an experimental method. design used a completely randomized (CRD) four treatments five repetitions: T0 (Elephant 100%), T1 60% + 40% Concentrate), T2 60%) % Umos 40%) T3 Concentrate 20% 20%). results showed no effect (P>0.0...

The aim of the present study was to compare the responses of blood pressure, heart rate, and rate-pressure product of hypertensive women using beta-blockers with healthy controls during resistance exercise (by the end of the concentric phase of the contractions) and in the postexercise period (5 and 30 minutes after). Ten untrained normotensive women (N) and 10 mildly hypertensive females recei...

DNA sequencing by hybridization (SBH) induces errors in the biochemical experiment. Some of them are random and disappear when the experiment is repeated. Others are systematic, involving repetitions in the probes of the target sequence. A good method for solving SBH problems must deal with both types of errors. In this work we propose a new hybrid genetic algorithm for isothermic and standard ...

Plyometric training (PT) enhances soccer performance, particularly vertical jump. However, the effectiveness of PT depends on various factors. A systematic search of the research literature was conducted for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) studying the effects of PT on countermovement jump (CMJ) height in soccer players. Ten studies were obtained through manual and electronic journal search...

We reported previously the formation of microtears in an in vivo loaded Flexor Digitorum Profundus (FDP) rabbit tendon with a repetition rate of 60 repetitions per minute and a peak force of 15% of maximum peak tetanic force for 80 cumulative hours. Tear area as a percent of tendon area, tear density (tears/mm(2)), and mean tear size (microm(2)) were higher in tendons from the loaded limb compa...

INTRODUCTION We compared the effects of eccentrically biased (EB) and conventional (CONV) resistance training on muscle architecture, one-repetition maximum (1RM), isometric strength, isokinetic force-velocity characteristics, functional capacity, and pulse wave velocity in older men and women. METHODS Twenty-eight older adults participated in the study (mean ± SD: age = 68 ± 5 yr). Of these,...
