We investigate the mean energy, strength and width of the triple giant dipole resonance using sum rules. We point out that the excitation operator for the triple giant dipole resonance must be modified from the naive choice D 3. With the modified excitation operator, the strength and mean energy calculated in the Tomonaga model agree with the harmonic limit and the width is larger than √ 3 time...

This study investigated the influence of different silica fillers on the flexural strength of experimentally filled resins. Hydrophilic (non-silanated) silica, hydrophobic silica modified by organofunctional silane, and silica modified by organofunctional silane that additionally contains polymerizable carbon double bonds were assigned into further subgroups: the first subgroup was electron bea...

The aim of this study was to assess the concurrent validity of the Optojump™ system (Microgate, Bolzano, Italy) versus a force platform in the estimation of temporal and reactive strength measures. In two separate investigations, twenty physically active males performed double-leg and single-leg drop jumps from a box height of 0.3 m and a 10 s vertical bilateral hopping test. Contact time, flig...

AIM To investigate the effect of supplementing high-volume endurance training with heavy strength training on muscle adaptations and physical performance in elite cross country skiers. Eleven male (18-26 years) and eight female (18-27 years) were assigned to either a strength group (STR) (n=9) or a control group (CON) (n=10). STR performed strength training twice a week for 12 weeks in addition...

Eighteen junior elite figure skaters were filmed while performing axel and double axel jumps. These same skaters were assessed for strength of the shoulders, knees, and hips at multiple angular velocities using a Cybex II system. The height of the jumps was significantly correlated with the strength data. Knee extension at 240 deg/sec and shoulder abduction at 300 deg/sec were shown to be the m...

Relations between the total β+ Gamow-Teller (GT+) strength and the E2 strength are further examined. It is found that in shell-model calculations for N =Z nuclei, in which changes in deformation are induced by varying the single-particle energies, the total GT+ or GT− strength decreases monotonically with increasing values of the B(E2) from the ground state to the first excited J π =2 + state. ...
