The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of 4 months of different training modalities on power, speed, skill and anaerobic capacity in 15-16 year old male basketball players. Thirty five Lithuanian basketball players were randomly assigned into three groups: power endurance group (intermittent exercise, PE, n = 12), general endurance group (continuous exercise, GE, n = 11) and contr...

This paper presents the steady state analysis of Rostov-II benchmark using conventional two-step approach. It involves STREAM/RAST-K and CASMO-5/PARCS code systems. documents a comprehensive code-to-code comparison between Serpent 2, CASMO-5, STREAM at lattice level for different fuel assemblies (FAs) loaded in core; PARCS, RAST-K core 2D. Finally, 3D results both deterministic models are compa...

Članek znotraj postpozitivistične metateo-retske pozicije trdi, da je študij poglavitnih zahodnih reprezentacij Kitajske v literaturi konsistentno zane-marjen in površno obravnavan.
