In this write-up, we extend quicksort to the task of fuzzy sorting of intervals. In many situations the precise value of a quantity is uncertain (e.g., any physical measurement is subject to noise). For such situations we may represent a measurement i as a closed interval [ai, bi], where ai ≤ bi. A fuzzysort is defined as a permutation 〈i1, i2, . . . , in〉 of the intervals such that there exist...

Heterobimetallic NiZn complexes featuring metal centers in distinct coordination environments have been synthesized using diimine–dioxime ligands as binucleating scaffolds. A tetramethylfuran-containing ligand derivative enables a stable one-electron-reduced S 1⁄4 1/2 species to be accessed using Cp2Co as a chemical reductant. The resulting pseudo-square planar complex exhibits spectroscopic an...

In this paper, from the perspective of spatial economics, we studied the spatial spillover of public services and their effect on factor income. We establish a Nonlinear General Equilibrium Model, which contains “two regions, two sectors and two elements". For the determination of the spill-over effect, using Matlab mathematical software to draw a furger, through the mathematical method of deri...

The text is clear and amplified by numerous illustrations but the bibliography, although considerable, lacks many important recent references. The English is excellent although terms such as dysoric retinopathy (page 87) might elude the most knowledgeable reader. This book obviously suffers from certain disadvantages when an ophthalmologist enters such a complex and changing field. There is thu...

37 38 The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anthropometric and performance characteristics 39 of high level youth female soccer players by annual-age category (U10-U16). Data were 40 collected from 157 female soccer players (U16; n=46, U14; n=43, U12; n=38, U10; n=30), 41 recruited from three high level female soccer academies in England. Players completed 42 assessments of anthropometr...

INTRODUCTION Pubertal growth pattern differs according to age at pubertal growth spurt onset which occurs over a five years period (girls: 8-13 years, boys: 10-15 years). The need for more than one pubertal reference pattern has been proposed. We aimed to obtain five 1-year-age-interval pubertal patterns. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Longitudinal (6 years of age-adult height) growth study of 1,453 he...
