Single-session upper limb plyometric training is as effective as two sessions for improving muscle strength, power, and serve velocity in male youth tennis players: a randomized pa... by Jian Wang, Qi Xu

“…Evaluations were conducted twice—once before the intervention and once after—assessing isometric shoulder rotation strength (internal [ISRT] and external [ESRT]) with a dynamometer, the medicine ball chest throw (MBCT), seated shot-put test (SST), and serve velocity using a radar gun.ResultsIn the post-intervention, significant differences were observed between groups for the variables of ISRT (p = 0.010; ηp2 = 0.189), ESRT (p = 0.004; ηp2 = 0.226), MBCT (p = 0.012; ηp2 = 0.181), SST (p = 0.019; ηp2 = 0.164), and tennis serve velocity (p = 0.004; ηp2 = 0.226).ConclusionThe study found that ULPT significantly improves upper limb muscle strength, power, and serve velocity in young male tennis players, with both once and twice weekly training yielding similar benefits. …”

Research and design of authenticated encryption algorithm based on AES round function by Guoqiang GAO, Zichen LI

“…The authenticated encryption algorithm guarantees the confidentiality and integrity of the information at the same time,and has extensive research and application prospects in the field of information security.With the mixed integer linear programming (MILP) method,the iterative structure with high efficiency and more active S boxes is searched.Based on this new round iterative function and the generalized Feistel structure,an authenticated encryption algorithm with the ability to resist collision attack,differential attack,linear attack and other attacks was designed and implemented,and the efficiency was twice that of AES-GCM.…”

An Association Rule Mining Scheme Based on Bit Operation and Reverse Index by Yulei Huang, Xiaoxia Luo, Qing Lin

“…An improved Apriori algorithm for association rule mining called Apriori-BR was proposed,which was based on bit operation and reverse index.Specifically,the reverse index from frequent itemsets to transactions was constructed firstly by scanning twice of database,and the reverse index was grouped by the length of transactions.Then in the mining process,bit operation was adopted to accelerate subset detection together with the dynamical elimination of invalid low-dimensional transactions.The numerical results show that the Apriori-BR proposed can substantially improve mining efficiency when compared with the conventional Apriori algorithm and the improved ones in the literature.…”

Design and study of ultra-wideband folded loop antennas by LV Wen-jun, ZHU Hong-bo

“…Design of a novel ultra-wideband folded loop antenna was proposed.It was fed by coplanar waveguide and can be easily integrated with other microwave circuits.By introducing a pentagonal folded loop,the bandwidth of the an-tenna is improved twice than that of conventional folded loop antenna.Parametric study is carried out numerically by us-ing EM simulators.Based on numerical results,the antenna is also studied experimentally.As can be seen,an operation bandwidth of over 4.75:1 is obtained.The presented antenna may be practical for ultra-wideband applications.…”
