one studies the $hx$-hypergroups, corresponding to the chinese hypergroups associated with the direct products of some ${bf z}/n {bf z},$ calculating their fuzzy grades.

in this study we have described our varicocele cases in terms of associated symptoms/signs. in addition, we have tested the correlation between semen parameters and varicocele grades and compared the relative frequencies of associated symptoms/signs in different varicocele grades. 1 19 referred cases of varicocele were categorized based on clinical criteria into 3 grades by one examiner. the re...

PURPOSE To examine concurrently and retrospectively the language abilities of children with specific reading comprehension deficits ("poor comprehenders") and compare them to typical readers and children with specific decoding deficits ("poor decoders"). METHOD In Study 1, the authors identified 57 poor comprehenders, 27 poor decoders, and 98 typical readers on the basis of 8th-grade reading ...

Limited practical recommendations related to wearing compression garments for athletes can be drawn from the literature at the present time. We aimed to identify the effects of compression garments on physiological and perceptual measures of performance and recovery after uphill running with different pressure and distributions of applied compression. In a random, double blinded study, 10 train...

This large-scale longitudinal cohort study examines the extent to which mathematics self-concept and academic self-efficacy mediate the relation between mathematical performance at the end of primary school (Grade 6) and the end of lower secondary school (Grade 9) in an educational system with early tracking. The study involves 843 students in the Netherlands, where tracking is employed from th...
