    Get PDF
    The purpose of this chapter is to present the application of basketball game models through sports technology. The chapter contains introduction, terminology, sports technology practices, basketball models through technology, compilation of basketball models in sports technology, and references. In this chapter, there will be other sub-chapters that will be considered in case of depth exploration of the chapter, writing, processing, and modification of data from other authors. We will present realistically the most renowned thinkers and theorists of the field of models and sports technology from which to draw the most practical model of evolution of basketball

    Model evaluation and optimisation of nutrient removal potential for sequencing batch reactors

    Get PDF
    Performance of sequencing batch reactors for simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal is evaluated by means of model simulation, using the activated sludge model, ASM2d, involving anoxic phosphorus uptake, recently proposed by the IAWQ Task group. The evaluation includes all major process configurations with different aerobic, anoxic, anaerobic sequences, and fill conditions. Basic relationships between modelling and design based on overall process stoichiometry are established for the interpretation of nutrient profiles associated with different operation modes. A similar approach is also used for the assessment of the effect of major operating parameters on system performance. WaterSA Vol.28(4) 2002: 423-43

    Chiral Fermions and Multigrid

    Get PDF
    Lattice regularization of chiral fermions is an important development of the theory of elementary particles. Nontheless, brute force computer simulations are very expensive, if not prohibitive. In this letter I exploit the non-interacting character of the lattice theory in the flavor space and propose a multigrid approach for the simulation of the theory. Already a two-grid algorithm saves an order of magnitude of computer time for fermion propagator calculations.Comment: Latex, 6 pages, 1 figur

    Latent Structure of the Morphological Characteristics and Motor Basic Abilities and Situational to Basketball Players 14-15 years

    The purpose of this research is Latent Structure of the morphological characteristics and motor basic abilities and situational to basketball players 14-15 years. The sample was of 84 basketball players aged 14-15 who have followed the training process of basketball game. The variable samples are 23, 11 of them in morphological space, 8 tests in the area of basic motor character and 4 of them in situational motor of basketball game. In this research our experiment is extracted in two main components which explain 79.16% the general variance of the morphological system, from which are extracted two morphological elements, with this we confi rmed the previous scientifi c knowledge that was enabled to use during the research more precisely in extracting the latent structure in the morphological area. While in the motor area are extracted three main components that explain together 63.60% the variance of the basic and situational motor system of which three factors are extracted

    The Deconfinement Phase Transition in One-Flavour QCD

    We present a study of the deconfinement phase transition of one-flavour QCD, using the multiboson algorithm. The mass of the Wilson fermions relevant for this study is moderately large and the non-hermitian multiboson method is a superior simulation algorithm. Finite size scaling is studied on lattices of size 83×48^3\times 4, 123×412^3\times 4 and 163×416^3\times 4. The behaviours of the peak of the Polyakov loop susceptibility, the deconfinement ratio and the distribution of the norm of the Polyakov loop are all characteristic of a first-order phase transition for heavy quarks. As the quark mass decreases, the first-order transition gets weaker and turns into a crossover. To investigate finite size scaling on larger spatial lattices we use an effective action in the same universality class as QCD. This effective action is constructed by replacing the fermionic determinant with the Polyakov loop identified as the most relevant Z(3) symmetry breaking term. Higher-order effects are incorporated in an effective Z(3)-breaking field, hh, which couples to the Polyakov loop. Finite size scaling determines the value of hh where the first order transition ends. Our analysis at the end - point, heph_{ep}, indicates that the effective model and thus QCD is consistent with the universality class of the three dimensional Ising model. Matching the field strength at the end point, heph_{ep}, to the κ\kappa values used in the dynamical quark simulations we estimate the end point, κep\kappa_{ep}, of the first-order phase transition. We find κep0.08\kappa_{ep}\sim 0.08 which corresponds to a quark mass of about 1.4 GeV .Comment: LaTex, 25 pages, 18 figure
