Our purpose was to examine the effects of sprint interval training on muscle glycolytic and oxidative enzyme activity and exercise performance. Twelve healthy men (22 +/- 2 yr of age) underwent intense interval training on a cycle ergometer for 7 wk. Training consisted of 30-s maximum sprint efforts (Wingate protocol) interspersed by 2-4 min of recovery, performed three times per week. The prog...

Recently, many programs have been written to perform tasks which are usually regarded as requiring creativity in humans. We can derive some commonalities between these programs in order to build further creative programs. Key to this is the derivation of certain measures which assess how creative a program is. Starting from recent proposals by Ritchie, we define possible measures which describe...

A MACSYMA program is presented which determines whether a given single nonlinear ODE or PDE with real polynomial terms fulfills the necessary conditions for having the Painlevd property. The program listing is given, together with a synopsis of the algorithm, a model of the output of the 0 "S program, a list of tested exarples and instructions to use the package. AMS (MOS) Subject Classificatio...

This paper presents a dynamic technique for statistically estimating three program characteristics that aect a program's computational behavior: (1) the probability that a particular section of a program is executed, (2) the probability that the particular section aects the data state, and (3) the probability that a data state produced by that section has an eect on program output. These three ...

The DFU is based on a commodity DRC platform DS2004, containing two AMD Opteron 2350 quad core processors and two Opteron socket compatible DRC Reconfigurable Processor Units (RPUs), all of which are connected via Hypertransport interconnects. Internal Components of the DFU: 1. HT Interface: Used to decode the HT read/write signals to internal DFU components 2. Statistics Registers: Tuples Proc...

Fault localization is an important and expensive task in software debugging. Some probabilistic graphical models such as probabilistic program dependence graph (PPDG) have been used in fault localization. However, PPDG is insufficient to reason across nonadjacent nodes and only support making inference about local anomaly. In this paper, we propose a novel probabilistic graphical model called B...

Recent theory work has shown that a Genetic Program (GP) used to produce programs may have output that is bounded above by the GP itself [l]. This paper presents proofs that show that 1) a program that is the output of a GP or any inductive process has complexity that can be bounded by the Kolmogorov complexity of the originating program; 2) this result does not hold if the random number genera...

In this paper a fuzzy expert system for predicting the performance of a switched reluctance motor has been developed. The design vector consists of design parameters, and output performance variables are efficiency and torque ripple. An accurate analysis program based on Improved Magnetic Equivalent Circuit (IMEC) method has been used to generate the input-output data. These input-output data i...

Introduction: Very low, Low and Medium X-ray machines are used extensively for Superficial Radiation Therapy mostly used for Basal Cell, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, and Melanoma skin cancers. In most of cases, Superficial X-ray Therapy (SXRT) is preferred to Electron beams generated using a linear accelerator. SXRT tube characteristics may vary with the use of the machine for a lo...

Incremental computation takes advantage of repeated computations on inputs that diier slightly from one another, computing each output eeciently by exploiting the previous output. This paper gives an overview of a general and systematic approach to incrementalization. Given a program f and an operation , the approach yields an incremental program that computes f (x y) eeciently by using the res...
