Ibáñez1, Raúl Martinez De Santos2, Nuno Leite3, Jaime Sampaio3 The aim of the present study was to identify basketball game performance indicators which best discriminate winners and losers in regular season and playoffs. The sample used was composed by 323 games of ACB Spanish Basketball League from the regular season (n=306) and from the playoffs (n=17). A previous cluster analysis allowed splitting the sample in balanced (equal or below 12 points), unbalanced (between 13 and 28 points) and very unbalanced games (above 28 points). A discriminant analysis was used to identify the performance indicators either in regular season and playoff games. In regular season games, the winning teams dominated in assists, defensive rebounds, successful 2 and 3-point field-goals. However, in playoff games the winning teams’ superiority was only in defensive rebounding. In practical applications, these results may help the coaches to accurately design training programs to reflect the importance of having different offensive set plays and also have specific conditioning programs to prepare for defensive rebounding. Key words: Performance analysis, game-indicators, win/lose, basketball. Introduction Traditionally, preparing basketball teams to succeed in competition...

...Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade, Serbia mail: vm@etf.rs Abstract — The purpose of the methodology described in this paper is to highlight an effective method for the organization of research results into written and oral forms. Authorities within supervising universities have realized that strong research by a candidate is often obscured by poor presentation, leading to the paper being ignored by the research community and journal reviewers. On the basis of their academic background, the authors of this paper decided to form a set of clear guidelines for writing research papers and giving oral presentations aimed at helping PhD students. To support the effectiveness of the methodology proposed, a statistical analysis has been conducted. The methodology described in this paper was initially intended for use in the fields of computer engineering; however, it is applicable more widely. In conclusion, if the methodology reported in this paper is followed strictly, it is much less likely that a good piece of work would be rejected for publication, and/or remain anonymous, due to inadequate presentation. Index Terms—methodology, research, PhD, structure, presentation. INTRODUCTION The aim of the methodology described in this paper is to help PhD students to produce good papers and effective oral presentations. The...

...Sci241 Final In: Science Sci241 Final SCI/241 FINAL Project Personalized Nutrition and Exercise Plan January 13, 2012 Ruby Warner In my family we have a lot of major health problems. The one health problem that most of my family members suffer from is High Blood Pressure. “Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood throughout the body. Many factors affect blood pressure, causing it to change from day to day and throughout the day. We are unable to control some of the factors that increase the risk of developing high blood pressure like being African American, over the age of 35, family history of high blood pressure, or having diabetes, gout or kidney disease, but the good news is that there are some that we can change”!(mckinley.illinois.edu/handouts/blood_pressure_factors.html). In order to maintain a good blood pressure I should have an exercise plan that involves my cardiovascular, I need to exercise at least 2.5 hours a week. These exercises include cycling, walking, and swimming. Also I may want to talk with my doctor to make sure my body is healthy before I start my exercise program. Nutrition is very important in helping to control my blood pressure and helping with not getting this because I have a family history. The way I need to do this is eating well balanced meals. Here is a way to do this. “The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) eating plan is recommended if your blood pressure is high...

...Outline of Final Paper SCI 207 Dr. Shameema Sarker March 4, 2012 I. Introduction Hunger is and can be a significant moral challenge for the nation on many levels. It can equally be a threat politically and economically for all. The present and future hunger controversy is what inspired biotechnology and genetic engineering. The hopes of solving the food problem of this world’s growing population has brought about the genetic engineering or genetically modified crops in farming. Even though some proponents that genetically modified foods could be beneficial to the world, to include taste and quality, and resistance to disease, the truth is yet to be recognized unequivocally. There are thousands of questions to be answered and further research to be done. Public awareness is equally necessary and the reality of food and crop engineering and distributing is also yet to be complete. This paper will examine if the consumption of genetically engineered foods is good for human health, the agriculture and the world’s food supply, genetically engineering involving nature, the positive and negative aspects, and the food security and alternatives. II. Human Health a) Public Awareness b) Taste c) Promises III. Agriculture and Food Supply a) Pollution of crops b) Does more or less need to be done with genetic modification c) Too much or too less will cause hunger IV. Nature a) Will species be harmed? Will land be harmed? V. Positive...

...HISTORY OF CITATION INDEXING The concept behind citation indexing is fundamentally simple. By recognizing that the value of information is determined by those who use it, what better way to measure the quality of the work than by measuring the impact it makes on the community at large. The widest possible population within the scholarly community (i.e. anyone who uses or cites the source material) determines the influence or impact of the idea and its originator on our body of knowledge. Because of its simplicity, one tends to forget that citation indexing is actually a fairly recent form of information management and retrieval. There were three factors that led to the development of citation indexing back in the 1950's. With the huge influx of government dollars into research and development following World War II, the research community naturally began to publicly document its findings through the accepted channel of published scientific journal literature. The subsequent burgeoning of the literature created a need for a method of indexing and retrieval that would be more cost effective and efficient than the then-current model of human indexing of materials for subject specific indices. While the subtle judgements made by subject specialists were valuable in giving depth to a subject index, manual indexing was both a more time consuming process and labor intensive. Its costs increased in proportion to the growth of material to be indexed. So the need for a better way of...

...“The Effect of Labor on Profitability: The Role of Quality” Zeynep Ton Harvard Business School, Boston, MA 02163, zton@hbs.edu Abstract Store labor is a large expense in retail operations. Although there is overwhelming evidence that CQ(conformance quality—how well employees execute prescribed processes) and SQ(service quality—the extent to which customers have a positive service experience at the stores) improve sales, there is limited evidence indicating their effect on profitability. When the costs of increasing labor are obvious and benefits are indirect, managers may not employ more staff. And this paper studies the effect of labor on profitability through its impact on quality, both conformance quality and service quality. Key words: labor; quality; retail corporation 1. Literature review and hypothesis of this paper 1.1 Service quality(SQ) SQ is measured by customers’ assessment of their service experience. the writer present some studies that show profitability is stimulated by loyal customers. But the evidence is limited. Some other studies show that the relationship between profitability and customer loyalty is not strong. In a study of Swedish firms, Anderson et al.(1997) find that the relationship between customer satisfaction and return on investment varies across industries.The mixed evidence about the effect of SQ on profitability suggests that the effect depends on the operating context. 1.2 Conformance quality(CQ) CQ...
