Predicting competitive alpine skiing performance by multivariable statistics—the need for individual profiling by Robert Nilsson, Apostolos Theos, Ann-Sofie Lindberg, Christer Malm

“…Physiological test results from a total of twelve (n = 12) world-class female skiers were included in the analysis.ResultsThe result on goodness of regression (R2) and goodness of prediction (Q2) in this study indicate that valid Orthogonal Projection to Latent Structures (OPLS) models for both Slalom and Giant Slalom can be generated (R2 = 0.39 to 0.40, Q2 = 0.21 to 0.15), but also that competition performance still cannot be predicted at a group level (low Q2). …”

Immune algorithm-based base station location optimization in the TD-SCDMA network by Ying-jie ZHANG, Ci-ping MAO, Yun-xiao ZU, Xian-you SUN

“…According to the defects of the existing 3G base station location optimization algorithms and the characteris-tics of the TD-SCDMA network, an optimization program was proposed for TD-SCDMA network base station location based on immune algorithm. A mathematical model of base station location was established. A population initialization program based on opposition-based learning and an elite crossover strategy were also designed, and the immune optimi-zation algorithm framework was presented. …”

LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN OF A SMALL FAMILY CAR DISC BRAKE BASED ON ANSYS (MT) by WANG SuoGuo, SHEN JingHu, SHI Le

“…Aiming at the lightweight design of the disc brake for small family cars, the finite element analysis and multi-objective optimization of the disc brake were carried out.Through the sensitivity analysis, the contribution degree of each size parameter of the brake disc to the braking performance and quality was established, and the optimization variables were quickly selected.Taking the lightest weight of the brake disc, the lowest surface temperature of the brake disc and the minimum maximum equivalent stress as the objective function, a multi-objective optimization mathematical model was established. NSGA-II hybrid variant algorithm based on the control elite strategy in Ansys was used to optimize the brake disc. …”
