We give a speciic product decomposition of the base-point path connected component of the triple loop space of the suspension of the projective plane.

China has experimented with two strategies of reform of its state-owned enterprises (SOE). One is diversification of SOEs’ ownership through introducing non-state sources of investment. Another is to improve the management of SOEs by granting SOEs’ managers autonomy and their employees profit incentives. Utilising a data set on 680 SOEs over 1980-94, we tested the relative effectiveness of two ...

To compare the gene expression profiling between intestinal-type gastric cancer (IGC) and diffuse-type gastric cancer (DGC), cDNA microarray containing 7334 gene elements was performed on 12 paired IGC specimens/its' normal epithelial tissue and 11 paired DGC specimens/its' normal epithelial tissue. Twenty-seven genes were co-overexpressed in IGC and DGC. These overexpressed genes were related ...

The traditional warm-up (WU) used by athletes to prepare for a sprint track cycling event involves a general WU followed by a series of brief sprints lasting ≥ 50 min in total. A WU of this duration and intensity could cause significant fatigue and impair subsequent performance. The purpose of this research was to compare a traditional WU with an experimental WU and examine the consequences of ...

A global sensitivity analysis of a lake ecosystem model (GOTM-FABM-PCLake) was undertaken to test the impacts morphology on parameter in three different lakes. The facilitated by Parallel Sensitivity and Auto-Calibration tool (parsac) included screening step with density-based Borgonovo's method followed in-depth both variance-based Sobol’ methods. proved efficient ranking most influential para...

A parametric sensitivity analysis is carried out on GASCON, a radiological impact software describing the radionuclides transfer to the man following a chronic gas release of a nuclear facility. An effective dose received by age group can thus be calculated according to a specific radionuclide and to the duration of the release. In this study, we are concerned by 18 output variables, each depen...
