This study examined whether 20-m shuttle-run performance, sex, body mass index (BMI), age, height, and weight are associated with peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) in youth with Down syndrome (DS; n = 53; 25 women, age 8-20 years) and whether these variables can be used to develop an equation to predict VO2peak. BMI, 20-m shuttle-run performance, and sex were significantly associated with VO2peak in...

The extreme characteristics of the run-up of transient long waves are studied in this paper. First we give a brief overview of the existing theory which is mainly based on the hodograph transformation [9]. Then, using numerical simulations, we build on the work of Stefanakis et al. (2011) [37] for an infinite sloping beach and we find that resonant run-up amplification of monochromatic waves is...

This study utilized a two-dimensional numerical viscous wave tank to simulate the run-up and run-down processes of non-breaking solitary waves on steep seawall. The research aimed investigate transformation between potential energy kinetic energy, evolution mechanisms flow fields, correlation dynamic pressure gradient reverse near sloping bed. model results were consistent with laboratory measu...

Efficient algorithms are obtained for integrating holomorphic differential one-forms along simple geodesic lines on those compact Riemann surfaces which are given as quotients of the upper half-plane by a congruence subgroup T of SL(2, Z). We may assume that every geodesic line passes through a cusp which is unique up to T-equivalence. The algorithms we construct run in polynomial time in the h...

Abstract This study investigates the extent to which paid maternity leave affects educational attainment and adult height in 29 developing countries between 1990 2019. The identification hinges upon variation achievement health outcomes of individuals residing same place but exposed different lengths at birth due policy reforms. analysis uncovers long-lasting favorable effects as an additional ...

Large bedforms in the nearshore (with heights of 10 – 50 cm and lengths of 1-10 m) are observed to occur frequently and to be ubiquitous throughout the surf zone (e.g., Clifton et al. 1971, Gallagher et al. 2002, Hay and Wilson 1994, Thornton et al. 1998). However, their dynamics are poorly understood and they are generally neglected in models of sediment transport, morphology change and nearsh...

BACKGROUND Self-reported weights and heights can be subject to gender, socio-economic, and other biases. On the other hand, obtaining measured anthropometric data can pose a significant respondent burden. METHODS Seattle Obesity Study II (SOS II) participants (n = 419) provided self-reported height, weight, and demographic data through an interviewer-assisted behavior survey. Participants wer...
