Abstract We classify normal stable surfaces with $$K_X^2 = 1$$ K X 2 = 1 , $$p_g 2$$ p g and $$q=0$$ q 0</mm...

This article introduces an algebra $\mathscr{A}_{\mathsf{MTV}, c}$ of functions in one variable $c$ defined by iterated integrals two specific differential forms depending on $c$, where the product is shuffle product. The can be seen as a common deformation multiple zeta values and Kaneko-Tsumura's recent $T$-values it satisfies same duality relations. Its first graded dimensions, assuming that...

Let Xl' ""Xn be a sample from a population with continuous distribution function F(x -8) such that F(x) +F(-x) =1 and o 80 cannot tend to 1 as 8 -80 -+ 00 more than n times faster than the tails of F tend to O. Some standard as well as robust tests are considered with respect to this rate of conver...

The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability of the 1- and 3RM tests for the modified unilateral squat. Thirty untrained (22 women, 8 men) and 22 trained (12 women, 10 men) subjects participated in the study. The trained group had a minimum of 1 year lower-body training experience but had not participated in unilateral training prior to the study. After practicing proper technique...

Channel optimized ve tor quantization (COVQ), as a joint sour ehannel oding s heme, has proven to perform well in ompressing a sour e and making the resulting quantizer robust to hannel noise. Unfortunately like its ounterpart in the noiseless hannel ase, the ve tor quantizer (VQ), the COVQ en oding omplexity is inherently high. Sample adaptive produ t quantization was re ently introdu ed by Ki...
