Comparison of experimental data with modeling predictions is essential for making quantitative measurements of species properties, such as diffusion coefficients and species concentrations using a T-sensor. To make valid comparisons between experimental data and model predictions, it is necessary to account for uncertainty in model predictions due to uncertain values of model parameters. We pre...

The management of playing time in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) soccer athletes may be a key factor affecting running performance during competition. This study compared playing time and running performance between regular-season and postseason competitions during a competitive women's soccer season. Nine NCAA Division I women soccer players (age, 21.3 ± 0.9 years; height, 170...

The aim of this study was to quantify the motion demands of match-play in elite U12 to U16 age-group soccer players. Altogether, 112 players from two professional soccer clubs at five age-group levels (U12-U16) were monitored during competitive matches (n = 14) using a 5 Hz non-differential global positioning system (NdGPS). Velocity thresholds were normalized for each age-group using the mean ...

The relationship between competitive balance or intensity and venue attendance has been extensively tested in the literature. These studies have used complex metrics econometric testing. This d...

We present a model of competitive interaction among n symmetric …rms producing a homongeous good that includes both Bertrand and Cournot competition as special cases. In our model the intensity of competition is captured by a single parameter –the perceived slope of competitors’supply functions. We show that total welfare increases monotonically with the intensity of competition and the number ...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction on the quadriceps-dominant strategy as a parameter associated with the neuromuscular control of the knee joint. METHODS In this study 14 competitive soccer players who had undergone ACL reconstruction with bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft and 14 healthy competitive soccer play...

This study aims to understand the performance of SME’s product innovation by relating it foresight concept SME owners or managers and moderating effect competitive intensity. It employs a quantitative research method using survey. paper studies SMEs from West Java Province Indonesia in three industrial sectors: food, fashion, handicrafts. These sectors were chosen because they are most competit...

The Grey-White Decision Network is introduced as an application of an on-center, off-surround recurrent cooperative/competitive network for segmentation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain images. The three layer dynamical system relaxes into a solution where each pixel is labeled as either grey matter, white matter, or "other" matter by considering raw input intensity, edge information, ...
