Within the last decade, there has been growing interest in the study of multiple solutions of twoand multi-point boundary value problems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations as fixed points of a cone mapping. Undeniably many good results have emerged. The purpose of this paper is to point out that, in the special case of second-order equations, the shooting method can be an effective to...

In this paper mathematical techniques have been used for the solution of Blasius differential equation. The method uses optimized artificial neural networks approximation with Sequential Quadratic Programming algorithm and hybrid AST-INP techniques. Numerical treatment of this problem reported in the literature is based on Shooting and Finite Differences Method, while our mathematical approach ...

The effects of instruction and feedback in proper form on foul-shooting performance was evaluated in 3 players of a women's NCAA Division II college basketball team. Players showed an increase in percentage of shots made and in correct form compared to baseline shooting without instruction or feedback. All players reached criterion within seven training sessions. The results suggest that traini...

Background. Although the educational program for teaching basketball shooting has been discussed, the mental visualization of teaching shooting skills for beginners has not been discussed yet. Objectives. The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of mental visualization in teaching some types of basketball shooting skills. Methods. The experimental method was chosen for its suitabil...

The amount of wounding during routine culling is an important factor in the welfare of wild deer. Little information exists on factors determining shooting accuracy and wounding rates under field conditions in the UK. In this study, 102 anonymous stalkers collected data on the outcomes and circumstances of 2281 shots. Using hot-deck imputation and generalised linear mixed modelling, we related ...

BACKGROUND Impulse noise produced from firearms can potentially damage hearing organs resulting in sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). In Chiang Mai during 1997, Detphithak et al reported a prevalence of acute acoustic trauma (AAT) in 22% of new military privates using an H.K.33 for shooting practice without hearing protection. The H.K.33 renders an average sound pressure level of 128 dBA. Earmu...

We use recent innovative solution techniques to investigate the problem of MHD viscous flow due to a shrinking sheet with a chemical reaction. A comparison is made of the convergence rates, ease of use, and expensiveness the number of iterations required to give convergent results of three seminumerical techniques in solving systems of nonlinear boundary value problems. The results were validat...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has promising applications in basketball shooting analysis, as it can help athletes improve their techniques and accuracy, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of both games training sessions. This article provides a systematic review latest developments AI-based covering four main research topics: Basketball Shooting Posture / Training Type Recognition, Analysis Pos...

In this paper we give a mathematical proof of the existence of the time independent and spherically symmetric solution to the ’t HooftPolyakov model of magnetic monopole by using 2D-shooting method. ∗Current address: Department of Mathematics, University of Californis, Davis, CA95616. e-mail: [email protected].

The difficulties with the simple shooting method for the solution of ordinary differential boundary value problems are well known, and there have been many suggested modifications to overcome them. Notable among them are the discrete orthonormalization process of Godunov and Conte (1966), the multiple shooting method (Keller(1968) and Osborne(1969)) and the Riccati transformation method (Scott(...
