Mathematics and System Engineering Faculty Publications

A best proximity pair for a set-valued map F : A -○ B with respect to a set-valued map G : A -○ A is defined, and a new existence theorem of best proximity pairs for continuous set-valued maps is proved in nonexpansive retract metric spaces. As an application, we derive a coincidence point theorem. Copyright © 2008 A. Amini-Harandi et al.

Frequency Tunable Resonant Apparatus, Aristide Dogariu, Pieter Kik

UCF Patents

Tuning of the resonant state of a structure that scatters optical fields is achieved by varying the effective optical properties of the environment of a small conductive structure. The frequency tunable resonant scatterer includes a medium, a conductive structure within that medium and a second structure in the vicinity of said conductive structure, wherein the plasmon resonance of said conductive structure is tuned by way of the proximity of said second structure to said conductive structure. The second structure is gradually moved away from and closer to the nanoparticle to change the effective dielectric constant for tuning a resonance frequency …

The Effect Of Isotonic Exercises Using Kinetic Rhythm In Evaluating The General State Of The Kinetic System (Motor Equilibrium) And The Variable Muscular Strength Of The Legs For Patients With Multiple Sclerosis, Mona Talib Thabet

Modern Sport

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease affecting the central nervous system, where the patient loses the ability to control nerves, with symptoms that are variable and unpredictable, ranging from vision weakness, difficulty in movement or speech, to general fatigue—essentially causing a widespread imbalance in the body. Currently, there is no definitive cure for MS, partly because its symptoms fluctuate over time, making it difficult to assess the effectiveness of treatments; thus, managing the disease to prevent deterioration is crucial. Movement originates from the nervous system, which sends signals to muscles to perform specific actions, requiring mental focus and training …

The research problem focused on identifying the relationship between …

Setting Standard Grades And Levels For Some Basic Basketball Skills For Students Of The Department Of Physical Education In The Faculty Of Basic Education, Ahmed Moayad Hussein, Ahmed Raad Ibrahim, Mohammed Khaled Ahmed

Modern Sport

The importance of this research lies in establishing standardized scores and levels for some basic basketball skills due to the lack of fixed and specific standards to measure students’ performance in these fundamental skills. The research problem arises from the absence of reference criteria when attempting to determine students’ skill levels in basketball. The study aimed to develop standardized scores and levels for certain basic basketball skills. The research scope included the human domain—first-year students in the Physical Education Department at the College of Basic Education, University of Mosul, during the academic year 2007/2008; the time frame—from November 1, 2007, …

Impact Style Of The Changeable Resistance In The Development Of Some Of The Physical & Functional Changes For The National Team For The Badminton, Abeer Dakhil Hatim

Modern Sport

Badminton is considered one of the most effective sports for developing physical fitness, as it requires competition, extensive running, jumping, quick reactions, and coordinated eye-hand movements. The game demands heightened awareness and precise timing, especially during jumps or support movements, where players must accurately judge the ball's trajectory when sending or receiving from an opponent. Given these demands, it is essential to implement advanced technical exercises to raise the performance of national team players. Based on this need, the two researchers focused on enhancing sensory perception and movement recognition, which are critical for players to maintain proper positioning during gameplay. …

Competition Anxiety And Its Relationship To Satisfaction With The Leadership Role Of Team Leaders In The Elite Football League, Akla Suleiman Ali, Nizar Nazem Hamid

Modern Sport

Football is considered one of the most popular sports worldwide, if not the most popular. Observing the significant development in the performance of international teams, it is clear that this progress no longer relies solely on sports training as a science directly related to achievement but also increasingly focuses on studying other supporting sciences that enhance performance. In this context, sports education experts emphasize that most international teams are very close in terms of physical, technical, and tactical levels. Therefore, an important factor determining the outcome of their competitive struggles is the psychological factor, which plays a crucial role in …

Topological Structures In The Equities Market Network, Gregory Leibon, Scott Pauls, Daniel Rockmore, Robert Savell

Dartmouth Scholarship

We present a new method for articulating scale-dependent topological descriptions of the network structure inherent in many complex systems. The technique is based on “partition decoupled null models,” a new class of null models that incorporate the interaction of clustered partitions into a random model and generalize the Gaussian ensemble. As an application, we analyze a correlation matrix derived from 4 years of close prices of equities in the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (NASDAQ). In this example, we expose (i) a natural structure composed of 2 interacting partitions of …
