The study aimed to establish the main morphological characteristics of Slovenian junior and senior female national handball team players. Morphological characteristics of various player subgroups (goalkeepers, wings, back players and pivots) were also determined so as to establish whether they had distinct profiles. The subjects were 87 handball players who were members of the Slovenian junior ...

Canadian female junior soccer players were evaluated for their anthropometrical characteristics including somatotype and body composition with a aim to evaluate with their international counterparts. 18 female soccer players with an average age of 16(±0.5) of a local club were assessed during their peak season time . Somatotype was assessed using HeathCarter method and body composition ( Fat%) ...

let $pounds$ be the category of locally compact abelian groups and $a,cin pounds$. in this paper, we define component extensions of $a$ by $c$ and show that the set of all component extensions of $a$ by $c$ forms a subgroup of $ext(c,a)$ whenever $a$ is a connected group. we establish conditions under which the component extensions split and determine lca groups which are component projective. ...

Let H be a separable Hilbert space. Given two strongly commuting CP0-semigroups φ and θ on B(H), there is a Hilbert space K ⊇ H and two (strongly) commuting E0-semigroups α and β such that φs ◦ θt(PHAPH) = PHαs ◦ βt(A)PH for all s, t ≥ 0 and all A ∈ B(K). In this note we prove that if φ is not an automorphism semigroup then α is cocycle conjugate to the minimal ∗-endomorphic dilation of φ, and ...

This study aimed to describe the physique characteristics and competition nutrient intake of professional Rugby League players and to assess use of a statistical technique for evaluating validity of dietary reporting. Players (n = 74) were endomorphic mesomorphs and had a mean weight, height, and BMI of 93.4 +/- 10.9 kg, 179.9 +/- 7.3 cm, and 28.5 +/- 2.1 kg/m2 respectively. Mean sum of eight s...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of gender and somatotypes on single-leg upright standing postural stability in children. A total of 709 healthy children from different schools were recruited to measure the anthropometric somatotypes and the mean radius of center of pressure (COP) on a force platform with their eyes open and eyes closed. The results were that (a) girls...

A free action α of a group G on a row-finite directed graph E induces an action α∗ on its Cuntz-Krieger C ∗-algebra C∗(E), and a recent theorem of Kumjian and Pask says that the crossed product C∗(E) ×α∗ G is stably isomorphic to the C∗-algebra C∗(E/G) of the quotient graph. We prove an analogue for free actions of Ore semigroups. The main ingredients are a new generalisation of a theorem of Gr...

A group in which every element commutes with its endomorphic images is called an E-group. If p is a prime number, a p-group G which is an E-group is called a pE-group. Every abelian group is obviously an E-group. We prove that every 2-generator E-group is abelian and that all 3-generator E-groups are nilpotent of class at most 2. It is also proved that every infinite 3-generator E-group is abel...

A method of generating a practically unlimited number of quasigroups of a (theoretically) arbitrary order using the computer algebra system Maple 7 is presented. This problem is crucial to cryptography and its solution permits to implement practical quasigroup-based endomorphic cryptosystems. The order of a quasigroup usually equals the number of characters of the alphabet used for recording bo...

Ninety-five years after Kretschmer’s original publication the concept of somatotype in psychiatry remains controversial. The aim of the current study was to compare the somatotype of patients with bipolar I disorder and sex-matched mentally healthy controls using an objective method of somatotyping and predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. 67 bipolar I patients (26 males, 41 females) and...
