Effect of Specific Resistance Training in the Physical Efficiency and Performance Endurance for Some Defensive and Offensive Movements in Handball by هديل عامر أ.م.د. حردان عزيز سلمان أ.د. وداد كاظم الزهيري

“…The research problem is that the performance of the players and it seems obvious in the final minutes of the game, showing signs of loss of concentration and accuracy and the inability of the player to continue a good level of defense and attack and he can’t play the required role of tactical plans And the duties assigned to him in the court as well as a lot of mistakes in the court, which is one of the reasons for the decline in the level of physical efficiency of players. The aim of this study is to prepare a specific resistance training to improve the physical efficiency and technical endurance performance and to know the effect of specific resistance training in the development of physical efficiency and performance endurance of some of the defensive and offensive movements for Al-Jaish players of handball.The hypothesis of research, there are statistically significant differences between the results of the pre and post-tests in the physical efficiency and performance endurance of some defensive and offensive movements in the research sample. …”

Spectral clustering-based energy-efficient resource allocation algorithm in heterogeneous cellular ultra-dense network by Xue WANG, Jing LIU, Jiani SUN, Jizhen ZHANG, Zhihong QIAN

“…In order to solve problems of high power consumption, spectrum shortage and low energy efficiency in the ultra-intensive 5G mobile communication scenario, a resource allocation algorithm based on the maximum energy efficiency for the two-layer heterogeneous cellular non-orthogonal multiple access network was proposed.The original NP-hard optimization problem on the downlink communication link of ultra-dense scene was divided into two subproblem, such as frequency resource allocation and power allocation, which became a deterministic constraint optimization problem.The frequency resource allocation scheme of different user groups was obtained by using base station clustering based on the improved k-means algorithm and users grouping based on spectral clustering algorithm.The fraction of energy efficiency optimization was transformed into a solvable continuous convex optimization problem and power distribution was realized by Dinkelbach method, and the Lagrange multiplier iterative algorithm, respectively.Jointly optimize system energy efficiency in terms of base station clustering, user grouping, resource block allocation and power allocation, which minimized the inter-cluster interference and intra-cluster interference of the base station efficiently.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is better on energy efficiency and computational efficiency compared with existing algorithms.…”
