On the brachistochrone problem for cycling ascents

Len Bos, Michael A. Slawinski, Raphaël A. Slawinski +1

VAM ({\it velocità ascensionale media}) is a measurement that quantifies a cyclist's climbing ability. We show that to minimize the time to attain a given height gain\, -- \,which…

On minimizing cyclists' ascent times: Part II

Len Bos, Michael A. Slawinski, Raphaël A. Slawinski +1

We formulate an optimization of a bicycle ascent time under the constraints of the average, maximum, and minimum powers. In contrast to the first part of this study, we do not rest…

On minimizing cyclists' ascent times

Len Bos, Michael A. Slawinski, Raphaël A. Slawinski +1

We prove that, given an average power, the ascent time is minimized if a cyclist maintains a constant ground speed regardless of the slope. Herein, minimizing the time is equivalen…

Modelling of a cyclist's power for time trials on a velodrome

Len Bos, Michael A. Slawinski, Raphaël A. Slawinski +1

We formulate a phenomenological model to study the power applied by a cyclist on a velodrome\, -- \,for individual timetrials\, -- \,taking into account the straights, circular arc…

Modelling of cyclist's power to overcome dissipative forces on a velodrome

Len Bos, Michael A. Slawinski, Raphaël Slawinski +1

We model the instantaneous power applied by a cyclist on a velodrome -- for individual pursuits and other individual time trials -- taking into account its straights, circular arcs…

On modelling bicycle power for velodromes: Part II Formulation for individual pursuits

Len Bos, Michael A. Slawinski, Raphaël A. Slawinski +1

We model the instantaneous power on a velodrome--as applied to individual pursuits and other individual time trials--taking into account its straights, circular arcs, and connectin…

On modelling bicycle power for velodromes: Part I: Formulation for individual pursuits

Michael A. Slawinski, Raphaël A. Slawinski, Theodore Stanoev

For a moving bicycle, the power can be modelled as a response to the propulsion of the centre of mass of the bicycle-cyclist system. On a velodrome, an accurate modelling of power…

Determination of X-Ray Transient Source Positions By Bayesian Analysis of Coded Aperture Data

Carlo Graziani, Donald Q. Lamb, Raphael Slawinski

We present a new method of transient point source deconvolution for coded-aperture X-Ray detectors. Our method is based upon the calculation of the likelihood function and its inte…
