Abstract
Haycraft, JAZ, Kovalchik, S, Pyne, DB, and Robertson, S. Classification of players across the Australian Rules football participation pathway based on physical characteristics. J Strength Cond Res 36(3): 702–709, 2022—This study investigated the utility of physical fitness and movement ability tests to differentiate and classify players into Australian Football League (AFL) participation pathway levels. Players (n = 293, age 10.9–19.1 years) completed the following tests; 5-m, 10-m, and 20-m sprint, AFL planned agility, vertical jump (VJ), running VJ, 20-m multistage fitness test (MSFT), and athletic ability assessment. A multivariate analysis of variance between AFL participation pathway levels was conducted, and a classification tree determined the extent to which players could be allocated to relevant levels. The magnitude of differences between physical fitness and movement ability were level-dependent, with the largest standardized effect size (ES) between Local U12, Local U14, and older levels for most physical fitness tests (ES: −4.64 to 5.02), except the 5-m and 10-m sprint. The 20-m, 5-m, AFL agility, 20-m MSFT, overhead squat, and running VJ (right) contributed to the classification model, with 57% overall accuracy reported (43% under cross-validation). National U16 players were easiest to classify (87%), while National U18 players were most difficult (0%). Physical fitness tests do not seem to differentiate between players after selection into AFL talent pathway levels. Other attributes (i.e., skill, psychological, and sociocultural) should be prioritized over physical fitness and movement attributes by selectors/coaches when considering selection of talented players.

Abstract
Comfort, P, Jones, PA, Thomas, C, Dos'Santos, T, McMahon, JJ, and Suchomel, TJ. Changes in early and maximal isometric force production in response to moderate- and high-load strength and power training. J Strength Cond Res 36(3): 593–599, 2022—The aims of this study were to determine the changes in early (50-, 100-, 150-, 200-, 250 ms) and maximal isometric force production, in response to a 4-week period of moderate-load resistance training (60–82.5% 1 repetition maximum [1RM]), followed by a 4-week period of high-load (80–90% 1RM) resistance training. Thirty-four subjects (age 19.5 ± 2.8 years; height 1.72 ± 0.08 m; body mass 69.9 ± 11.4 kg; maximal power clean 0.92 ± 0.03 kg·kg−1) participated in this study. Only trivial-to-moderate (0.2–2.7%, d = 0.00–0.88) and nonsignificant (p > 0.05) changes in early isometric force production were observed in response to the moderate-load training period, whereas very large (9.2–14.6%, d = 2.71–4.16), significant (p ≤ 0.001) increases in early isometric force production were observed in response to high-load training. In contrast, there was a very large, significant increase in peak force (PF) across the moderate-load phase (7.7 ± 11.8%, d = 2.02, p = 0.003), but only a moderate significant increase in PF (3.8 ± 10.6%, d = 1.16, p = 0.001) across the high-load phase. The results of this study indicate that high-load multijoint resistance training, that follows moderate-load training, results in superior increases in early multi-joint force production, compared with the changes observed after moderate-load resistance training.

AbstractIR64 is a rice variety with high-yield that has been widely cultivated around the world. IR64 has been replaced by modern varieties in most growing areas. Given that modern varieties are mostly progenies or relatives of IR64, genetic analysis of IR64 is valuable for rice functional genomics. However, chromosome-level genome sequences of IR64 have not been available previously. Here, we sequenced the IR64 genome using synthetic long reads obtained by linked-read sequencing and ultra-long reads obtained by nanopore sequencing. We integrated these data and generated the de novo assembly of the IR64 genome of 367 Mb, equivalent to 99% of the estimated size. Continuity of the IR64 genome assembly was improved compared with that of a publicly available IR64 genome assembly generated by short reads only. We annotated 41,458 protein-coding genes, including 657 IR64-specific genes, that are missing in other high-quality rice genome assemblies IRGSP-1.0 of japonica cultivar Nipponbare or R498 of indica cultivar Shuhui498. The IR64 genome assembly will serve as a genome resource for rice functional genomics as well as genomics-driven and/or molecular breeding.

AbstractThe cuticle, a hydrophobic layer of cutin and waxes synthesized by plant epidermal cells, is the major barrier to water loss when stomata are closed at night and under water-limited conditions. Elucidating the genetic architecture of natural variation for leaf cuticular conductance (gc) is important for identifying genes relevant to improving crop productivity in drought-prone environments. To this end, we conducted a genome-wide association study of gc of adult leaves in a maize inbred association panel that was evaluated in four environments (Maricopa, AZ, and San Diego, CA, in 2016 and 2017). Five genomic regions significantly associated with gc were resolved to seven plausible candidate genes (ISTL1, two SEC14 homologs, cyclase-associated protein, a CER7 homolog, GDSL lipase, and β-D-XYLOSIDASE 4). These candidates are potentially involved in cuticle biosynthesis, trafficking and deposition of cuticle lipids, cutin polymerization, and cell wall modification. Laser microdissection RNA sequencing revealed that all these candidate genes, with the exception of the CER7 homolog, were expressed in the zone of the expanding adult maize leaf where cuticle maturation occurs. With direct application to genetic improvement, moderately high average predictive abilities were observed for whole-genome prediction of gc in locations (0.46 and 0.45) and across all environments (0.52). The findings of this study provide novel insights into the genetic control of gc and have the potential to help breeders more effectively develop drought-tolerant maize for target environments.

AbstractThe Seismometer to Investigate Ice and Ocean Structure (SIIOS) is a NASA-funded analog mission program to test flight-candidate instrumentation on icy-ocean world analog sites. In September 2017, an SIIOS experiment was deployed on Gulkana Glacier. The instrumentation included a Nanometrics Trillium 120 s Posthole seismometer, four Nanometrics Trillium Compact (TC) seismometers, four Mark Products L28 geophones, and five each of Silicon Audio (SiA) 203P-15 and 203P-60 seismometers. The SiA sensors served as our flight-candidate instruments. The instrumentation was arranged in a small (&lt;2  m) aperture array with most sensors deployed in the ice. We also placed five of the SiA seismometers on top of a mock lander to simulate placement on a lander deck. The instrumentation recorded an active-source experiment immediately after deployment and then passively for 13 days. We conducted an active-source experiment using a sledgehammer striking an aluminum plate at 13 locations, with 9–13 shots occurring at each location. During the passive observation, the experiment recorded one large Mw 7.1 event that occurred in Mexico and four other teleseismic events with Mw&gt;6.0. The active- and passive-source signals are being used to constrain the local glacial hydrological structure, environmental seismicity, to develop algorithms to detect and locate seismic sources, and to quantify the similarities and differences in science capabilities between sensors. Initial results indicate the flight-candidate instrumentation performs comparably to the Trillium Posthole up to periods of 3 s, after which the flight-candidate performs more comparably to the TCs.

Les acteurs des filières laitières bovine, caprine et ovine françaises se sont regroupés dans le programme PhénoFinlait autour d’un but commun : caractériser la composition du lait en Acides Gras (AG) et protéines afin de la maîtriser. La quantification des AG et des protéines devait être possible à grande échelle et à moindre coût avant d’identifier des leviers permettant d’adapter cette composition à la demande. PhénoFinlait s’est organisé autour de trois objectifs : i) caractériser précisément la composition du lait, ii) phénotyper et génotyper une large population de femelles sur l’ensemble du territoire français et iii)identifier les leviers génétiques et alimentairespermettant de maîtriser cette composition. La spectrométrie dans le Moyen InfraRouge (MIR) a été choisie comme méthode de quantification à haut débit des composants du lait. Elle permet la quantification précise en routine de 15 à 27 AG, des quatre caséines et des deux protéines majeures du lactosérum. Une collecte de données de grande ampleur a été mise en œuvre dans plus de 1 500 élevages bovins, caprins et ovins. Les données de production laitière, les spectres MIR du lait, les informations sur le stade physiologique des femelles et sur la composition de l’alimentation des troupeaux ont été recueillies. Plus de 12 000 vaches, chèvres et brebis ont été génotypées. Finalement, plus de 800 000 données représentatives des situations de l’élevage français ont été stockées dans une base de données destinée à l’étude du déterminisme génétique de la composition en AG et en protéines du lait, et des facteurs d’élevage l’influençant.
Crosswalks Between Knee and Hip Arthroplasty Short Forms
Authors: Polascik Breanna A. , Hidaka Chisa , Thompson Madison C. , Tong-Ngork Sarani , Wagner Jessica L. , Plummer Otho , Lyman Stephen 
Published: March 2020

Background:
The Oxford Knee Score (OKS); Oxford Hip Score (OHS); Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, Joint Replacement (KOOS JR); and Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, Joint Replacement (HOOS JR) are well-validated and widely used short-form patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for assessing outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA). We are not aware of the existence of any crosswalks to convert scores between these PROMs. We aimed to develop and validate crosswalks that will permit the comparison of scores between studies using different PROMs and the pooling of results for meta-analyses.

Methods:
We retrospectively analyzed scores from patients (486 in the knee cohort and 340 in the hip cohort) from the Syracuse Orthopedic Specialists Joint Registry who had completed the appropriate PROMs (OKS and KOOS JR in the knee cohort and OHS and HOOS JR in the hip cohort) as the standard of care before undergoing primary TKA or unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) between January 9, 2016, and June 19, 2017, or primary THA or hip resurfacing between November 29, 2010, and October 30, 2017, or when returning for postoperative care. Using the equipercentile equating method, we created 4 crosswalks: OKS to KOOS JR, KOOS JR to OKS, OHS to HOOS JR, and HOOS JR to OHS. To assess validity, Spearman coefficients were calculated using bootstrapping methods, and means for actual and crosswalk-derived scores were compared.

Results:
There were minimal differences between the means of the known and crosswalk-derived scores. As calculated with the use of bootstrapping methods, Spearman coefficients between the actual and derived scores were strong and positive for both knee arthroplasty crosswalks (0.888 to 0.889; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.887 to 0.891) and hip arthroplasty crosswalks (0.916 to 0.918; 95% CI, 0.914 to 0.919).

Conclusions:
We successfully created 4 crosswalks that allow conversion of Oxford scores to KOOS and HOOS JR scores and vice versa. These crosswalks will allow harmonization of PROMs assessment regardless of which of the short forms are used, which may facilitate multicenter collaboration or allow sites to switch PROMs without loss of historic comparison data.

Use of Computerized Adaptive Testing to Develop More Concise Patient-Reported Outcome Measures
Authors: Kane Liam T. , Namdari Surena , Plummer Otho R. , Beredjiklian Pedro , Vaccaro Alexander , Abboud Joseph A. 
Published: March 2020

Background:
Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are essential tools that are used to assess health status and treatment outcomes in orthopaedic care. Use of PROMs can burden patients with lengthy and cumbersome questionnaires. Predictive models using machine learning known as computerized adaptive testing (CAT) offer a potential solution. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of CAT to improve efficiency of the Veterans RAND 12 Item Health Survey (VR-12) by decreasing the question burden while maintaining the accuracy of the outcome score.

Methods:
A previously developed CAT model was applied to the responses of 19,523 patients who had completed a full VR-12 survey while presenting to 1 of 5 subspecialty orthopaedic clinics. This resulted in the calculation of both a full-survey and CAT-model physical component summary score (PCS) and mental component summary score (MCS). Several analyses compared the accuracy of the CAT model scores with that of the full scores by comparing the means and standard deviations, calculating a Pearson correlation coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient, plotting the frequency distributions of the 2 score sets and the score differences, and performing a Bland-Altman assessment of scoring patterns.

Results:
The CAT model required 4 fewer questions to be answered by each subject (33% decrease in question burden). The mean PCS was 1.3 points lower in the CAT model than with the full VR-12 (41.5 ± 11.0 versus 42.8 ± 10.4), and the mean MCS was 0.3 point higher (57.3 ± 9.4 versus 57.0 ± 9.6). The Pearson correlation coefficients were 0.97 for PCS and 0.98 for MCS, and the intraclass correlation coefficients were 0.96 and 0.97, respectively. The frequency distribution of the CAT and full scores showed significant overlap for both the PCS and the MCS. The difference between the CAT and full scores was less than the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) in >95% of cases for the PCS and MCS.

Conclusions:
The application of CAT to the VR-12 survey demonstrated an ability to lessen the response burden for patients with a negligible effect on score integrity.
Radio+ and Open Source Software for Mobilizing Knowledge for Sustainable Agriculture in Sri Lanka
Authors: Faria Rashid  
Published: March 2020

Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) considered an important platform towards sustainable agriculture, specifically when mobile and Free and Open Source (FOSS) applications are used to broadcast radio referred to here as Radio+.
Radio+ plays an important role in educating and entertaining farmers and give beneficial farming information. Radio+ can encourage younger farmers to increase their participation in the agricultural sector and motivate them to use new ideas and techniques for agriculture. In order to boost sustainable agricultural systems, Free and Open Source (FOSS) applications recognized for low cost and user-friendly platform used on mobile devices such as Smart Phones.
In Sri Lanka, partners including the Department of Export Agriculture, Wayamba University and LIRNEasia collaborating with researchers at the University of Alberta and University of Guelph have created a community of practice for farmer media convergence. A partnership development grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) in 2012 enabled the partners to establish a community-university research partnership in order to explore the potential for low cost ICTs to enhance knowledge mobilization practices within agricultural communities of practice in Sri Lanka. This paper outlines the experiences of the initiative and its use of Open Source (FOSS) and radio+ for sustainable agriculture in Sri Lanka.
