This study examined the relationship between lower body power and repeated as well as single sprint performance in soccer players. The performance of nineteen male soccer players was examined. The first testing session included the countermovement jump (CMJL) and the progressive full squat (FSL), both with external loads. Power in the CMJL and FSL was measured with each load that was lifted. Th...

Timed vital capacity of one second, peakflow, maximum breathing capacity (maximum voluntary ventilation), maximum middle half flow rate, total vital forced expiratory and inspiratory capacities, tidal and minute volume tested via the mouth and each "nose" separately for the diagnosis of nasal airway disturbance have proved to be valuable parameters of pulmonary function for the evaluation of th...

The article presents that the data obtained in course of study give an idea level development strength main muscle groups under influence special loads powerlifters various sports qualifications. Before modern science and practice training there are many problems: rational distribution power loads, physical qualities, increase functional reserves body, others multifaceted solved a complex way u...

Changes in the presynaptic inhibition of spinal alpha-motoneurons were studied in athletes during motor activities of different types. In the state where muscles were at relative rest, the presynaptic inhibition of spinal alpha-motoneurons of the m. soleus was stronger in muscle samboists (athletes specializing in the martial art of sambo) and sprinters than in long-distance runners. In sambois...

1. Abstract In this paper a robust and efficient methodology is presented for treating large-scale reliability-based, structural optimization problems under seismic loads using the pushover analysis method. The optimization problem is solved with the Evolution Strategies method, while the reliability analysis is carried out with the Monte Carlo simulation method. In order to reduce the excessiv...

Non-carious cervical lesion (NCCL) is the loss of hard dental tissue commonly observed at the buccal and labial tooth surfaces at the cementoenamel junction (CEJ). Most NCCLs of teeth can be classified into four categories: attrition, erosion, abrasion, and stress-induced cervical lesion. Stress-induced cervical lesions are loss of tooth structure that results from repeated tooth flexure caused...

Parallel corpora are the bread and butter of a number of machine translation technologies. Therefore, important efforts are regularly spent in acquiring new ones. This task often involves a rather cumbersome manual inspection and it is rather difficult to set up a strategy that fits all the needs. We thus developed PARADOCS, a system aiming at doing this automatically. Our solution exploits num...

A critical, yet not very well studied problem in medical applications is the issue of accurately labeling patient records according to diagnoses and procedures that patients have undergone. This labeling problem, known as coding, consists of assigning standard medical codes (ICD9 and CPT) to patient records. Each patient record can have several corresponding labels/codes, many of which are corr...

Web includes digital libraries and billions of text documents. A fast and simple search through this sizeable set is important for users and researchers. Since manual or rule based document classification is a difficult, time consuming process, automatic classification systems are absolutely needed. Automatic text classification systems demand extensive and proper training data sets. To provide...
