In the literature, few data are available about the reliability of torque measured during passive isokinetic knee movements. This study investigated the consistency of torque measurements during passive knee movements at 60, 180 and 300 degrees/second in 30 healthy subjects. Intraclass correlation values ranged between 0.78 and 0.92 when the results of two consecutive tests were compared. When ...

The objective of this study was to determine the optimal plot size evaluate fresh matter productivity sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) and showy rattlebox (Crotalaria spectabilis Roth.). Fifteen uniformity trials (blank experiments) with rattlebox, in single or intercropping, were carried out. evaluated 540 basic experimental units (BEU) 1 × m (15 36 BEU per trial). determined by method Ha...

The effect of a pre-exercise energy sport drink on the acute hormonal response to resistance exercise was examined in eight experienced resistance trained men. Subjects were randomly provided either a placebo (P: maltodextrin) or the supplement (S: combination of branched chain amino acids, creatine, taurine, caffeine, and glucuronolactone). Subjects performed 6 sets of no more than 10 repetiti...

We develop match probability statistics to test the recurrences of gamma ray bursts in the BATSE catalog 1B and 2B. We do not find a signal of repetitions at the match level of 10 .

STUDY DESIGN In vivo feline model subjected to variable number of repetitions of a short static lumbar flexion followed by an equally long rest period. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of the number of repetitions as a risk factor in promoting a cumulative low back disorder in the feline model. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Epidemiologic data point out that t...

A weak repetition in a string consists of two or more adjacent substrings which are permutations of each other. We describe a straightforward (n 2) algorithm which computes all the weak repetitions in a given string of length n deened on an arbitrary alphabet A. Using results on Fibonacci and other simple strings, we prove that this algorithm is asymptotically optimal over all known encodings o...

We consider with a new point of view the notion of nth powers in connection with the k-abelian equivalence of words. For a fixed natural number k, words u and v are k-abelian equivalent if every factor of length at most k occurs in u as many times as in v. The usual abelian equivalence coincides with 1-abelian equivalence. Usually k-abelian squares are defined as words w for which there exist n...

Pseudo-repetitions are a natural generalization of the classical notion of repetitions in sequences. We solve fundamental algorithmic questions on pseudo-repetitions by application of insightful combinatorial results on words. More precisely, we efficiently decide whether a word is a pseudorepetition and find all the pseudo-repetitive factors of a word. 1998 ACM Subject Classification F.2.2 Non...

Higher spatial resolution imaging data are considered desirable in many Earth observation applications. In this work, we propose and demonstrate the TARSGAN (learning Terrestrial image deblurring using Adaptive weighted dense Residual Super-resolution Generative Adversarial Network) system for Restoration (SRR) of 10 m/pixel Sentinel-2 “true” colour images as well all other multispectral bands....

Abstract Background The aim was to verify the effect of non-periodized and linear periodized combined (aerobic plus resistance) exercise training on insulin resistance markers in adults with obesity. Methods A blinded randomized control trial conducted three groups individuals obesity (BMI, 30–39.9 kg/m 2 ): group (CG, n = 23), (NG, (PG, 23). NG PG performed aerobic exercises same session aerob...
