Professionalism, golf coaching and a master of science degree
No full textA distinction can be made between 'professionalisation', which is concerned with occupational status and standing, and 'professionalism,' which refers to matters of quality and standards of practice (especially specialized knowledge, ethics and altruism). The purpose of this stimulus article is to present key features of contemporary medical professionalism as a basis for critically reflecting on discourse associated with Tiger Woods' current coach, Sean Foley. It is suggested that that provision of a Master of Science degree in golf teaching/coaching would facilitate the development of 'professionalism' in golf coaches
Direct numerical test of the B-G-K model equation by the DSMC method
No full textIn the present paper the rarefied gas how caused by the sudden change of the wall temperature and the Rayleigh problem are simulated by the DSMC method which has been validated by experiments both in global flour field and velocity distribution function level. The comparison of the simulated results with the accurate numerical solutions of the B-G-K model equation shows that near equilibrium the BG-K equation with corrected collision frequency can give accurate result but as farther away from equilibrium the B-G-K equation is not accurate. This is for the first time that the error caused by the B-G-K model equation has been revealed

Algoritmo generador de foley mono a partir de texto
No full textEn el presente trabajo de grado, se pretende exponer el proceso llevado a cabo para desarrollar un algoritmo generador de Foley mono a partir de texto, con el uso de algoritmos pertenecientes al deep learning. Se hace entonces uso del algoritmo WCGAN-GP , inicialmente estableciendo un set de datos de entrenamiento, en el cual se encuentran audios Foley grabados en la universidad de San Buenaventura Sede Bogotá. Posterior a la obtención del set de datos, se desarrolla y entrena el algoritmo con la finalidad de generar audios Foley mono de dos categorías, cada una con tres variaciones y someterlos a un proceso de escucha, del cual se obtiene una prueba subjetiva realizada a estudiantes de Ingeniería De Sonido de la universidad. Se puede determinar finalmente que el funcionamiento del algoritmo durante la etapa de entrenamiento fue el esperado y adicionalmente, que conforme aumenta la frecuencia de muestreo de los datos utilizados para la etapa de entrenamiento, los audios generados obtenían una mejor puntuación subjetiva debido a su similitud con las categorías de referencia.In the present work of degree, it is intended to expose the process carried out to develop a mono Foley generator algorithm from text, with the use of algorithms belonging to deep learning. The WCGAN-GP algorithm is then used, initially establishing a training data set, in which Foley audios recorded at the University of San Buenaventura of Bogotá are found. After obtaining the data set, the algorithm is developed and trained in order to generate Foley mono audios of two categories, each with three variations and submit them to a listening test process, from which a subjective test is obtained from students of Sound Engineering at the university. It can be finally determined that the performance of the algorithm during the training stage was as expected and additionally, that as the sample rate of the data used for the training stage increases, the generated audios obtained a better subjective score due to their similarity with the reference categories.PregradoIngeniero de Sonid
Edgeworth and Lindahl-Foley equilibria of a general equilibrium model with private provision of pure public goods
No full textIn this paper, we propose a definition of Edgeworth equilibrium for a private ownership production economy with (possibly infinitely) many private goods and a finite number of pure public goods. We show that Edgeworth equilibria exist whatever be the dimension of the private goods space, and can be decentralized, in the finite and infinite dimensional cases, as Lindahl-Foley equilibria. Existence theorems for Lindahl-Foley equilibria are a by-product of our results.production economy; public goods; Edgworth equilibrium; Lindahl-Foley equilibrium; proper economy
A study on the reliability of consecutive k-Out-of-n: G systems based on Copula
No full textThe computation of reliability characteristics of a system that consists of dependent components is sometimes difficult especially when the type of dependence is not known. This article introduces the copula method to calculate the reliability of dependent consecutive k-out-of-n: G systems. The components in these systems are dependent on each other and the dependency may be either linear or nonlinear. The copula is a popular tool for modeling the dependence structure of data. It contains the information about the dependency structure of a vector of random variables and can capture nonlinear dependence. Based on the copula theory, the article analyzes the consecutive k-out-of-n: G systems and gets the reliability indexes. Finally, some numerical examples are presented to illustrate the results obtained in this article.Peer reviewe
G. K. Chesterton Portrait
No full textThis item is an oil portrait of the British author G. K. Chesterton (1874–1936). It was painted by the Irish artist Edwin Swan. The portrait measures approximately 44.5 by 34 inches. This portrait is based on a black-and-white photograph of Chesterton taken in 1935 by the British photographer Howard Coster (1885-1959). This is a posthumous portrait, painted after Chesterton’s death in 1936.
Edwin Swan was born in Ballyragget, Ireland, and studied at the Academie Julian in Paris. This portrait of Chesterton was once exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1940.https://collected.jcu.edu/chestertonimages/1000/thumbnail.jp
The numbers of dependent k-sets in a graph are log concave
No full textA set of vertices in a graph is said to be dependent if it is not independent. Let p(k)(G) denote the number of dependent sets of size k in the graph G. We show that, for any graph G, the sequence {p(k)(G)} is logarithmically concave.

Hamstring muscle architecture assessed sonographically using wide field of view: a reliability study
No full textPurpose To assess the intra-rater reliability of static wide field of view ultrasound to quantify the architectural characteristics of the hamstring muscles. Methods Twenty amateur male athletes were recruited. Their left hamstring muscles were assessed using static wide field of view ultrasound on two separate occasions. Static ultrasound images were acquired by a single sonographer using a 92mm linear transducer. The architectural characteristics (muscle length, fascicle length, pennation angle and muscle thickness) from two distinct locations of the bicep femoris long head and semimembranosus were evaluated. Muscle length and thickness of the bicep femoris short head and semitendinosus muscle were also evaluated. Intraclass correlation coefficient analyses were performed to determine the intra-rater reliability of the performed measurements. Results Both muscle (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.99; standard error of measurement = 4.3 to 6.6mm) and fascicle (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.92 to 0.98; standard error measurement = 1.1 to 2.4mm) length were measured with excellent intra-rater reliability. Muscle thickness was measured with excellent reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.9 to 0.96; standard error of measurement = 0.91mm to 1.4mm) for all hamstring muscles except for the proximal segments of the bicep femoris short head (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.85; standard error of measurement = 0.84mm) and semitendinosus (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.88; standard error of measurement = 0.82mm), which were measured with good reliability. Pennation angle was measured with good reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.77 to 0.87; standard error of measurement = 1 to 1.6°). Conclusion The architectural characteristics of the hamstring muscles of male amateur athletes can be reliably quantified using static wide field of view ultrasound
Measurement of the ratio of branching fractions B(B0→K∗0γ )/B(B0s→φγ ) and the directCP asymmetry inB 0→K∗0γ
No full textThe ratio of branching fractions of the radiative B decays B0→K⁎0γ and B0s→ϕγ has been measured using an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb−1 of pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of s√=7TeV. The value obtained is
B(B0→K⁎0γ)B(B0s→ϕγ)=1.23±0.06(stat.)±0.04(syst.)±0.10(fs/fd),
where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is the experimental systematic uncertainty and the third is associated with the ratio of fragmentation fractions fs/fd. Using the world average value for B(B0→K⁎0γ), the branching fraction B(B0s→ϕγ) is measured to be (3.5±0.4)×10−5.
The direct CP asymmetry in B0→K⁎0γ decays has also been measured with the same data and found to be
ACP(B0→K⁎0γ)=(0.8±1.7(stat.)±0.9(syst.))%.
Both measurements are the most precise to date and are in agreement with the previous experimental results and theoretical expectations
