is an astonishing number because it has inspired thinkers in many disciplines, more-so than any other number has in the history of mathematics. This paper investigates how the golden ratio has influenced civilizations throughout history and has intrigued mathematicians and others by its prevalence.

While previous research highlights the important benefits that sport participation can have for youth de-velopment, limited research has examined the sport experiences of athletes with disabilities (Martin, 2006). The purpose of this study was to describe the sport experiences of athletes with physical disabili-ties in a model swim program that has been widely recognized for the development of positive values in athletes. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight athletes with a physical disability. Partici-pants were both male (n = 3) and female (n = 5), between 9- 19 years of age, and averaged 5.9 years of swimming experience. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and were subjected to a content analysis procedure in which raw meaning units were grouped into salient themes (Côté, Salmela, Baria, & Russell, 1993; Tesch, 1990). Athletes ’ responses regarding the outcomes derived from this program revealed four themes: 1) Redefined capabilities, 2) affirmed sense of self, 3) strengthened social connection, and 4) en-hanced acceptance. Social and contextual processes facilitating the development of these outcomes are also discussed. Practical implications for programmers, coaches, and athletes are presented along with recommendations for future sport research.

XMRV, or xenotropic murine leukemia virus (MLV)-related virus, is a novel gammaretrovirus originally identified in studies that analyzed tissue from prostate cancer patients in 2006 and blood from patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) in 2009. However, a large number of subsequent studies failed to confirm a link between XMRV infection and CFS or prostate cancer. On the contrary, recent evidence indicates that XMRV is a contaminant originating from the recombination of two mouse endogenous retroviruses during passaging of a prostate tumor xenograft (CWR22) in mice, generating laboratory-derived cell lines that are XMRV-infected. To confirm or refute an association between XMRV and prostate cancer, we analyzed prostate cancer tissues and plasma from a prospectively collected cohort of 39 patients as well as archival RNA and

testing of preliminary conclusions with respondents for their confirmation of findings. The approach is discrete and in-depth so as to obtain as much reliable information from the group being studied whose entities are not considered merely as respondents but also as active participants. This approach

This analysis of the cases of adverse effects after kava ingestion is a detailed report covering a total of 76 case reports dating from 1990 to 2002 (Table 1). The database consists of the following cases: • 37 Cases from the German „BfArM “ (including five duplicate/triplicate entries of

The random waypoint model is a commonly used mobility model in the simulation of ad hoc networks. It is known that the spatial distribution of network nodes moving according to this model is, in general, nonuniform. However, a closed-form expression of this distribution and an in-depth

was carefully investigated. In particular, the effect of the counter electrode on the full cell impedance was quantitatively analyzed in the cases of cell aging and a low cell temperature. From the experimental results, it was demonstrated that inappropriate conclusions might be drawn in the case where a two

Road accidents involving bus is an alarming matter in Malaysia. National statistics showed that bus accident cases increased significantly with 48 % between the year 2006 and the year 2008. Due to this reason, an in-depth study was performed to clearly identify the problems, investigate
