A simulation of cross-country skiing on varying terrain by using a mathematical power balance model
(2013)
The current study simulated cross-country skiing on varying terrain by using a power balance model. By applying the hypothetical inductive deductive method, we compared the simulated position along the track with actual ...
Studying the time trend of Methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Norway by use of non-stationary γ-Poisson distributions
(2015)
Objectives Study the time development of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and forecast future behaviour. The major question: Is the number of MRSA isolates in Norway increasing and will it continue to ...
Micro indentation hardness testing of commercial-grade RDX crystals
(2016)
This paper describes the continuous micro indentation hardness testing of two
commercial grades of RDX with differing shock sensitivities using three (3)
different loads on a Berkovich indenter to obtain values of elastic ...
All Molecular Surfaces are Equal: Demanding Invariance of Predictions in Linear Single-Variable Models
(2016)
The molecular surface has been suggested to be a region of the molecule where information of non-covalent intermolecular interactions is present. Many workers have pursued this idea by constructing models based on statistical ...
A Study of the Detonation Properties, Propellant Impulses, Impact Sensitivities and Synthesis of Nitrated ANTA and NTO Derivatives
(2016)
Nitrated derivatives of 5-amino-3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole (ANTA)
and 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) were theoretically characterized with respect to their performance as high explosives and rocket propellants. The detonation ...
Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Is Increasing in Norway: A Time Series Analysis of Reported MRSA and Methicillin-Sensitive S. aureus Cases, 1997–2010
(2013)
The current study simulated cross-country skiing on varying terrain by using a power balance model. By applying the hypothetical inductive deductive method, we compared the simulated position along the track with actual ...
On the Big Bang Cosmology as a Kinematic Event in Newtonian Cosmology Modified by Dark Energy
(2012)
The concepts dark matter and dark energy are commonly used to explain the universe.
The dark energy can be conceived as a property of vacuum or the ether. However, a
quite different but also common approach is to modify ...
Comparing VO2max Improvement in Five Training Methods
(2012)
This paper presents a theoretical study comparing the improvement of the whole body
maximum oxygen uptake (maximum aerobic power or VO2max) when training at different
intensities and with different methods matched for ...
Study of thermal instability of HMX crystalline polymorphs with and without molecular vacancies using reactive force field molecular dynamics
(2016)
The sensitivity of energetic materials can be identified by heat, friction, impact, shock, electrostatic charge, etc. A complexity of various factors may influence the sensitivity and among them are the crystal structure ...
Using the Power Balance Model to Simulate Cross-Country Skiing on Varying Terrain
(2014)
The current study adapts the power balance model to simulate cross-country skiing on varying terrain. We assumed that the skier’s locomotive power at a self-chosen pace is a function of speed, which is impacted by friction, ...
