Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of horizontal and vertical velocities at the landing of the last step of approach run on the performance and optimal phase ratio of the triple jump. Methods: Three-dimensional kinematic data of 13 elite male triple jumpers were obtained during a competition. Computer simulations were performed using a biomechanical model of the tri…
Purpose – This study aims to examine the role that cultural dimensions at the accounting subculture level play in the relation between XBRL mandate and quality of financial information environment. Design/methodology/approach – Analyst forecast accuracy with empirical data of firms from six nations is assessed. Findings – Results show that accounting values across nations play a signi…
A B S T R A C T Nanostructured nickel–manganese oxides composite was prepared by the sol–gel and the chemistry deposition combination new route. The surface morphology and structure of the composite were characterized by scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. The as-synthesized NiO/MnO2 samples exhibit higher surface area of 130–190 m2 g1. Cyclic voltammetry and galvanos…
Abstract A simple and inexpensive approach to synthesizing mesoporous Fe3O4 is developed by using citric acidassisted solid thermal decomposition of ferric nitrate. The structure and magnetic property of mesoporous Fe3O4 were characterized by XRD, FT–IR, N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, TEM, and vibrating sample magnetometer. It was shown that the decomposition of citric acid result…
Abstract A new visible-light-response photocatalyst Nd2InTaO7 with pyrochlore-type structure crystallized in a cubic system with the space group Fd3m was synthesized by a solid-state reaction method. The H2 evolution was obtained from Pt/CH3OH/H2O solution and pure H2O, and O2 evolution was generated from an aqueous AgNO3 solution under visible light irradiation (k[400 nm). The high photoca…
The performance of herbivorous insects is greatly affected by plant nutritional quality and resistance, which are likely to be altered by rising concentrations of atmospheric CO2. We previously reported that elevated CO2 enhanced biological nitrogen (N) fixation of Medicago truncatula, which could result in an increased supply of amino acids to the pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum). The curr…
