A Comparison of the Technique of the 180° Cutting Maneuver Performed on Grass and on a Hardwood Floor

The 180º cutting maneuver (also known as the 505 drill) is commonly seen in field and court sports, and it consists of a 15 m run up to a turning point, followed by a timed stop and 180º change of direction for 5 m. The purpose of this study was to determine the most effective joint movements, limb velocities and body positions to perform the 180º cutting maneuver. Additionally, the study compared the kinematics of the 505 drill performed indoors while wearing running shoes and outdoors while wearing cleats. For this study, twelve athletes executed the 505 drill indoors while wearing running shoes, and twelve executed the 505 drill outdoors while wearing cleats. Fifty nine independent variables were measured for each athlete and compared to the athlete’s time to complete the test. Mean test time was 2.27 seconds for the indoor group and a significantly lower 2.47 s for the outdoor group. Correlation analysis and forward stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed on both groups to determine which variables were significantly related to test time. Trunk forward lean at push off of the jab leg was most highly correlated to test time for the indoor athletes (r= -0.887), however, flexion at maximum flexion of the jab knee was most highly correlated to test time for the outdoor group (r= -0.748). Outdoor athletes could benefit from assuming a lower and more flexed body position similar to the indoor athletes and attain a greater degree of trunk lean at jab leg touchdown.

Positional comparison of isometric mid-thigh pull characteristics in youth female netball players

Received: 17.11. 2020 Accepted: 31.01. 2021 Online: 11.03. 2021 To examine isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) characteristics of female youth netball players by position (defenders, centers and shooters). Data were collected on 50 regional youth players and comprised of height and body mass, and IMTP relative force-time characteristics (peak force [PF] and force at 50 [F50], 100 [F100], 150 [F150], 200 [F200] and 250 [F250] milliseconds). These were compared across netball positions via a series of one-way analyses of variance. Centers demonstrated greater F50 (p = 0.025, [Hedges g] g = 1.04), F100 (p = 0.020, g = 1.14), F150 (p = 0.048, g = 0.76) and F250 (p = 0.035, g = 0.84) compared to defenders. No statistical differences (p > 0.05) were observed in any IMTP characteristic between defenders and shooters, yet effect sizes revealed practical differences (g = 0.07 to 0.85). Similarly, no statistical differences (p > 0.05) were observed in any IMTP characteristic between centers and shooters, yet effect sizes revealed practical differences (g = ‒0.63 to 1.21). These findings demonstrate that IMTP force-time characteristics differ between defenders and centers in youth female netball players. Practitioners should consider developing their netball players’ peak and rapid force production capabilities, while considering the specific demands on individual positions.
FIELD EXPERIMENTS ON SOILS REINFORCED WITH MULTIORIENTED GEOSYNTHETIC INCLUSIONS

Results and conclusions determined from field experiments performed to evaluate the practical aspects of reinforcing cohesionless soils with multioriented geosynthetic inclusions are described. The multioriented elements were generally similar in size and configuration to toy jacks. Experiments conducted included California bearing ratio, resistance to compaction, rutting, and trafficability tests. Substantial increases in stiffness and strength were obtained by reinforcing cohesionless soils with multioriented inclusions. Multioriented elements also proved useful in reducing rutting and providing increased mobility and trafficability in soft and loose soils.

Balancing continuity and novelty: The practical relevance of management research from the practitioners' perspective

In management research, the literature on practical relevance holds that practitioners actively construct practical relevance. However, the practitioners' perspective on relevance has received very little scholarly attention to date. This paper puts forward a theoretical model for examining how practitioners construct academic knowledge as practically relevant based on interviews with practitioners enrolled on executive MBA (EMBA) courses. The model shows that practitioners construct academic knowledge as relevant by (1) perceiving it as congruent with their context, experiences and intuition, (2) extending their knowledge by new instruments, constructs, and means of scientific framing and (3) reconnecting it to their contexts and professional practices. This model extends the literature by showing that, in order to be considered practically relevant, academic knowledge needs to balance novelty and continuity. Additionally, the paper shows that practitioners are unlikely to perceive as relevant ambiguous academic knowledge that is 'action expansive', i.e. that presents them with an overwhelming range of possible actions.
Aeropropulsion Technology (APT). Task 23 - Stator Seal Cavity Flow Investigation

The focus of NASA Contract NAS3-25950 Task 23 was to numerically investigate the flow through an axial compressor inner-banded stator seal cavity. The Allison/NASA developed ADPAC code was used to obtain all flow predictions. Flow through a labyrinth stator seal cavity of a high-speed compressor was modeled by coupling the cavity flow path and the main flow path of the compressor. A grid resolution study was performed to guarantee adequate grid spacing was used. Both unsteady rotor-stator-rotor interactions and steady-state isolated blade calculations were performed with and without the seal cavity present. A parameterized seal cavity study of the high-speed stator seal cavity collected a series of solutions for geometric variations. The parameter list included seal tooth gap, cavity depth, wheel speed, radial mismatch of hub flowpath, axial trench gap, hub corner treatments, and land edge treatments. Solution data presented includes radial and pitchwise distributions of flow variables and particle traces describing the flow character.

Supermarket 212 Mart is here as an answer to meet consumer decisions who want to shop in modern markets based on sharia. However, its new presence has not been able to compete and seize the existing market. Even though the 212 Mart supermarket has implemented a marketing strategy to increase consumer purchasing decisions, this still cannot attract the decision of the wider community to shop because there are several elements of the community's retail mix that have not been maximally implemented. There are many factors that can influence consumer purchasing decisions, one of which is price. The purpose of this study is to determine and analyze the effect of price on consumer purchasing decisions 212 Mart Cikaret. The research method used is a survey method with a correlational analysis approach. The number of samples is 100 people. The test was carried out with a simple linear test by first testing the validity, reliability, and data analysis The results of the analysis show that the price variable has a significant effect on buying decisions (t count 16.591 is greater than t table 1.985 with a significant level of 5%). Ho is rejected, Ha is accepted, meaning that there is a significant price effect on consumer decisions to shop at 212 Mart supermarkets. The price variable has a positive correlation with purchasing decisions with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 655.8%. The positive constant value indicates the potential for consumer fanaticism towards 212 Mart Cikaret. Fanaticism gets stronger if there is a lower price than its competitors.
NUMERICAL APPRAISAL OF THE NEW SLENDER SHIP FORMULATION IN STEADY MOTION

A new formulation for the fluid motion around a slender ship is developed, on the basis of an asymptotic expression of the Kelvin-source around its track. The boundary value problem is expressed by an integral equation which is much more simplified than the solution of the Neumann-Kelvin approximation. In order to examine the validity of this theory, numerical computations are carried out with respect to the pressure distribution, wave pattern and wave resistance of several types of hull forms, i.e. the Wigley hull, a sailing yacht hull, and a Series 60 (CB - 0.600 hull. The results are compared with experimental data.

Seed train process intensification strategy offers potential for rapid, cost-effective scale-up of biosimilars manufacturing

A perfusion approach at N-1, where cells stay in the exponential growth phase throughout the entire culture duration, is becoming more common as a strategy for process intensification. This is because the higher cell densities it generates allows manufacturers to skip seed stages and reduce process transfer time through multiple bioreactor sizes, thus providing more cost-effective biologics production in smaller facilities. However, this N-1 perfusion approach requires optimization. In this article, we describe the development and proof-of-concept studies with single-use rocking motion perfusion bioreactors in which we have achieved a ten-fold increase in viable cell count in N-1 seed stage, compared to the fed-batch control process, in just 6–8 days. We also mention in detail how we inoculated a 50 L bioreactor production run using this intensified seed train and show comparable growth kinetics and yield with a control process, also at 50 L scale. Using this intensification approach in the future will help our manufacturing facility, the Biopharma Division of Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd., reach 4000 L production-scale volumes with fewer process transfer steps, and without changing the feeding strategy or production bioreactors of our biologics’ portfolio.
Performance of Self-Consolidating Concrete in Prestressed Girders

A structural investigation of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) in AASHTO Type I precast, prestressed girders was performed. Six test girders were subjected to transfer length and flexural testing. Three separate concrete mixtures, two girders per mixture, were used to construct these specimens. A moderate-strength, conventional-slump concrete mixture, similar to the concrete used in typical ALDOT girders was evaluated versus moderate-strength SCC and high-strength SCC. No significant difference in transfer bond behavior was found between the full-scale SCC girders and the conventional concrete girders. High-strength SCC girders had shorter transfer lengths than moderate-strength (SCC and conventional) girders. After normalization to account for the difference in prestress magnitude and concrete strength, there was no discernible difference in the magnitude of the transfer lengths between the concrete types. After a composite, cast-in-place concrete deck was added to each girder, flexural testing was performed near each girder end, resulting in two flexural tests per girder. Embedment lengths were varied for each test in order to bracket the AASHTO strand development length. Results indicated that the use of SCC had no adverse effects on the overall flexural performance, and the flexural bond lengths were conservatively predicted by the relevant ACI and AASHTO expressions. Similarly, the SCC girders exhibited comparable service-level performance to the conventional girders. Based on the work performed in this study SCC should perform well in prestressed concrete girder applications.
Managing High Performance Sport.

As the discipline of sport management matures, high performance sport management emerges as a swiftly developing branch of knowledge. The high performance industry and sport practitioners are leading the way by adopting practices that recognise the significance of managing high performance sport. Indicative of these practices is also the recognition and establishment of the role of high performance directors on athlete performance. These shifts in industry practices (i.e., hiring high performance directors and placing an emphasis on high performance management practices) have not been matched with an equivalent focus of academic inquiry that would help define the field, distinguish it from other fields and illustrate its significance in empirical ways. Chapter 1, written by Popi Sotiriadou, represents the start of an inquiry into defining the discipline of managing high performance sport and the roles of high performance directors in athlete success. The funnel of HPSM is comprised of three interrelated components; (a) high performance management (Part A of this book), (b) managing high performance athletes (Part B of this book), and (c) issues in high performance sport (Part C of this book). The funnel of HPSM implies that athlete performance (at the lowest part of Figure A) is a factor of all three components. Unquestionably, performances at top-level sports are the result of a combination of the broader environmental and physical circumstances in which people live; the opportunities they are offered to excel through sport systems; and the genetic qualities they are born with and other athlete related issues. Accordingly, the factors that contribute to international sporting success can be classified at three different levels. The macro-level (Part A: High Performance Management), the meso-level (Part B: Managing High Performance Athletes) and the micro level (Part C: Issues in High Performance Sport). Factors at each level are systematically considered in the three parts of this this book.
New and Simple Tester for Slump of Concrete

Describes a new and simple apparatus called the "K-Slump Tester" used to measure the slump of concrete in 1 min. Over 450 tests were performed in several centers. The results show that there is good correlation between the K-slump measured with the tester and the slump measured with the standard cone. Use of the apparatus is simple and economical.
A Comparison: Accrual Versus Cash Flow Based Financial Measures’ Performance in Predicting Business Failure

Most business failure prediction models use accrual-accounting-based financial ratios; a few used cashflow-based measures. Comparison of the two approaches on the same dataset are rare. This study investigates the prediction accuracy of six accrual-accounting, six cash-flow-based, and the combined 12 ratios on companies’ financial data collected during the 2008-2010 recession. Careful to avoid prior research pitfalls (Sharma, 2001), we perform many analyses on a matched set of 50 failed and 50 nonfailing companies. We propose that cash-flow-based measures are better predictors but find that a mixed model of two accrual-accountingand two cash-flow-based ratios perform significantly better than other models.
EVALUATION OF SAFETY IMPACT OF HIGHWAY PROJECTS

An empirical Bayesian approach to evaluate the safety impact of highway projects at a group of sites level was developed. Rural traffic accident data from the state of Indiana were used. The Bayesian methodology was illustrated using examples of wedge and level and resurfacing projects. The results indicated that wedge and level and resurfacing activities did not have a significant effect on the level of the expected number of accidents or accident rates at 95% probability level on Indiana's two-lane rural roads having traffic volumes less than 4,000 vehicles per day.

SIGCAP: A COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR ASSESSING THE TRAFFIC CAPACITY OF SIGNAL-CONTROLLED ROAD JUNCTIONS

Sigcap is a FORTRAN program which takes as its input the conventional data describing a signal-controlled road junction, the sequence of stages in the signal cycle and the pattern of traffic passing through the junction. The program estimates the practical traffic capacity of the junction, calculates signal timings which maximise that capacity, and provides indications of the amount by which the capacity can be altered by various means which may be available to the traffic engineer. Sigcap is applicable both to isolated junctions and to each of the junctions in a linked signal system or area traffic control scheme, and is intended for everyday use by traffic engineers without recourse to advice from specialists in computing.

Self-focusing of a spatially modulated beam within the paraxial complex geometrical optics framework in low-density plasmas

Accurate modelling of ponderomotive laser self-focusing may represent a key for the success of inertial confinement fusion, especially within the shock ignition approach. From a numerical point of view, implementation of a paraxial complex geometrical optics (PCGO) method has improved the performance of the hydrodynamics code CHIC, but (1) overestimating ponderomotive speckle self-focusing in reduced two-dimensional geometry, and (2) not accounting for speckle intensity statistics. The first issue was addressed in our previous work (Ruocco et al 2019 Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 61 115009). Based on those results, here we propose a novel PCGO scheme for modelling spatially modulated laser beams by (1) creating Gaussian speckles, and (2) emulating the realistic speckle intensity statistics. Self-focusing of spatially modulated beams in a homogeneous stationary plasma with this method is studied. This investigation evidences that plasma smoothing does not reduce the speckle intensity enhancement at long time scales when the average beam intensity is twice above the speckle critical intensity. Comparison against electromagnetic simulations confirms that this approach improves the description of self-focusing of high-intensity speckles within the PCGO model.
