The Möbius-Kantor map {4 + 4, 3} [CMo, §8.8, 8.9] is a regular orientable map of type {8, 3} and genus 2. It is a 2-sheeted covering of the cube {4, 3}, branched over the centers of its six faces, each of which lifts to an octagonal face. Its (orientation-preserving) automorphism group is isomorphic to GL2(3), a double covering of the automorphism group PGL2(3) ∼= S4 of the cube. The aim of thi...

In this study, we evaluated the extent to which 2000-m rowing ergometer performance times predicted final rankings at the World Rowing Championships in a sample of 638 rowers of both sexes and body-mass classifications (i.e., open-category and lightweight rowers). Rowing ergometer performance times were examined using a questionnaire, and in 17 of 23 events they were positively correlated (P < ...

This paper describes an outbreak of Salmonella enteriditis occurring at the Junior World Rowing Championships at Poznan, Poland, in August 1995 which was to have a significant effect on the performance of several of the largest national teams.

AIMS To investigate the relation between somatotype, performance characteristics, and the incidence of injury during the Australian Netball Championships. METHOD Two hundred and forty high performance netball players competed at the Australian Netball Championships in which 213 (89%) were measured using the Heath-Carter somatotype scale. During these championships, in conjunction with the inj...

In this paper we discuss a simulation/probability model that identifies the team that is most likely to win a tournament. The model can also be used to answer other questions like ‘which team had a lucky draw?’ or ‘what is the probability that two teams meet at some moment in the tournament?’. Input to the simulation/probability model are scoring intensities, that are estimated as a weighted av...
