Letter: William G. Andersen, Jr. and Debra J. Collins, October 2, 1986.
No full textLetter: photocopy, 11" x 8.5" (29.7cm x 21.6cm)Letter from William G. Andersen, Jr. and Debra J. Collins to George Kain, 2 October 1986. This letter serves as notice to George Kain that Reston was not among the cities chosen as a finalist in the All-America Cities program. The All-America Cities program recognizes citisen group iniative and action, not action taken solely by public officials, and the balance of civic, public, and private sector action is carefully weighed in the decision process. The letter is accompanied by a copy of the entrance form provided by Kain. Andersen and Collins address specific reasons why Reston was not chosen as the All-American City including waning civic involvement, previously noted problem areas had not significantly changed; and unconvincing descriptive language about Reston.

The Andersen aerobic fitness test: New peak oxygen consumption prediction equations in 10 and 16-year olds
No full textThis is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Aadland, E., Andersen, L. B., Lerum, Ø., & Resaland, G. K. (2018). The Andersen aerobic fitness test: New peak oxygen consumption prediction equations in 10 and 16-year olds. Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports, 28, 862-872, which has been published in final form at https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/sms.12985. This article may be used for non-commercial purposes in accordance with Wiley Terms and Conditions for Use of Self-Archived Versions.Measurement of aerobic fitness by determining peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) is often not feasible in children and adolescents, thus field tests such as the Andersen test are required in many settings, for example in most school‐based studies. This study provides cross‐validated prediction equations for VO2peak based on the Andersen test in 10 and 16‐year‐old children. We included 235 children (n = 113 10‐year olds and 122 16‐year olds) who performed the Andersen test and a progressive treadmill test to exhaustion to determine VO2peak. Joint and sex‐specific prediction equations were derived and tested in 20 random samples. Performance in terms of systematic (bias) and random error (limits of agreement) was evaluated by means of Bland‐Altman plots. Bias varied from −4.28 to 5.25 mL/kg/min across testing datasets, sex, and the 2 age groups. Sex‐specific equations (mean bias −0.42 to 0.16 mL/kg/min) performed somewhat better than joint equations (−1.07 to 0.84 mL/kg/min). Limits of agreement were substantial across all datasets, sex, and both age groups, but were slightly lower in 16‐year olds (5.84‐13.29 mL/kg/min) compared to 10‐year olds (9.60‐15.15 mL/kg/min). We suggest the presented equations can be used to predict VO2peak from the Andersen test performance in children and adolescents on a group level. Although the Andersen test appears to be a good measure of aerobic fitness, researchers should interpret cross‐sectional individual‐level predictions of VO2peak with caution due to large random measurement errors.acceptedVersio
Sparre-Andersen theorem with spatiotemporal correlations
No full textThe Sparre-Andersen theorem is a remarkable result in one-dimensional random walk theory concerning the universality of the ubiquitous first-passage-time distribution. It states that the probability distribution ρn of the number of steps needed for a walker starting at the origin to land on the positive semiaxes does not depend on the details of the distribution for the jumps of the walker, provided this distribution is symmetric and continuous, where in particular ρn∼n-3/2 for large number of steps n. On the other hand, there are many physical situations in which the time spent by the walker in doing one step depends on the length of the step and the interest concentrates on the time needed for a return, not on the number of steps. Here we modify the Sparre-Andersen proof to deal with such cases, in rather general situations in which the time variable correlates with the step variable. As an example we present a natural process in 2D that shows that deviations from normal scaling are present for the first-passage-time distribution on a semiplane
