UNLABELLED Partial acclimatization resulting from staging at moderate altitude reduces acute mountain sickness during rapid exposure to higher altitudes (e.g., 4300 m). Whether staging also benefits endurance performance has not yet been scientifically evaluated. PURPOSE Determine the effectiveness of staging at 2200 m on time trial (TT) performance of unacclimatized sea-level residents (SLR)...

BACKGROUND Differences in pain response to two different M-M-R products have previously been demonstrated in 12-month old infants and in 4 â 6 year old children. Objective To determine if the acute and immediate pain response to two licensed M-M-R vaccine products (using a self-report measure) in children 4-6 years of age was similar to that demonstrated in younger infants. METHODS Randomized...

This short note is a conceptual prologue to the series of articles devoted to the analysis of interrelations between the representation theory (especially, its inverse problems) and the control and games theory. This note was appeared as an attempt to formulate rigorously and mathematically the ideas of [1] and simultaneously to treat them in a more (mathematically) general context of control a...

This is a survey of M-regularity and its applications, expanding on lectures given by the second author at the Seattle conference, in August 2005, and at the Luminy workshop " Géométrie Algébrique Complexe " , in October 2005 1 .

How close are Galerkin eigenvectors to the best approximation available out of the trial subspace ? Under a variety of conditions the Galerkin method gives an approximate eigenvector that approaches asymptotically the projection of the exact eigenvector onto the trial subspace – and this occurs more rapidly than the underlying rate of convergence of the approximate eigenvectors. Both orthogonal...

This paper analyses a multiple class single server M/M/1/K queue with finite capacity under preemptive service priority discipline. The Poisson process has been used to model the multiple classes of arrival streams. The service times have exponential distribution. Analytical expressions for the flow balanced equations have been derived using Markov chain. This paper presents an analytical solut...

Let K be a symmetric convex body in R. It is well-known that for every θ ∈ (0, 1) there exists a subspace F of R with dimF = [(1− θ)n] such that (∗) PF (K) ⊇ c √ θ MK Dn ∩ F, where PF denotes the orthogonal projection onto F . Consider a fixed coordinate system in R. We study the question whether an analogue of (∗) can be obtained when one is restricted to choose F among the coordinate subspace...
