In fact, recently developed techniques of match analysis provide a body of evidence that supports the belief that neuromuscular demands of training and competition are higher than initially suspected (e.g., accelerations/decelerations) [42,43,109] and give further support to the viewpoint that strength/power-related qualities are crucial for high-level performance.
Spain ranks fifth in such ranking after countries with extensive wage indexation (Belgium, Sweden, Finland and France), while countries such as Germany and Italy have low levels of real wage rigidity.23 Therefore, the fact that estimated levels of real wage cyclicality in Europe are higher than initially expected may be driven by the selected pool of countries for which estimations are available.

As the simulated pressure heads are higher than the measured pressure heads with initially assumed C values, the C values are reduced by the same value for all pipe groups and the network is simulated to obtain the least value of the summation of the sum of the square of difference between the measured and simulated pressure heads.
In both cases the profit from driving is higher than we initially reported.
