Abstract
Raeder, C, Wiewelhove, T, Simola, RÁDP, Kellmann, M, Meyer, T, Pfeiffer, M, and Ferrauti, A. Assessment of fatigue and recovery in male and female athletes after 6 days of intensified strength training. J Strength Cond Res 30(12): 3412–3427, 2016—This study aimed to analyze changes of neuromuscular, physiological, and perceptual markers for routine assessment of fatigue and recovery in high-resistance strength training. Fourteen male and 9 female athletes participated in a 6-day intensified strength training microcycle (STM) designed to purposefully overreach. Maximal dynamic strength (estimated 1 repetition maximum [1RMest]; criterion measure of fatigue and recovery); maximal voluntary isometric strength (MVIC); countermovement jump (CMJ) height; multiple rebound jump (MRJ) height; jump efficiency (reactive strength index, RSI); muscle contractile properties using tensiomyography including muscle displacement (Dm), delay time (Td), contraction time (Tc), and contraction velocity (V90); serum concentration of creatine kinase (CK); perceived muscle soreness (delayed-onset muscle soreness, DOMS) and perceived recovery (physical performance capability, PPC); and stress (MS) were measured before and after the STM and after 3 days of recovery. After completing the STM, there were significant (p ≤ 0.05) performance decreases in 1RMest (%∆ ± 90% confidence limits, ES = effect size; −7.5 ± 3.5, ES = −0.21), MVIC (−8.2 ± 4.9, ES = −0.24), CMJ (−6.4 ± 2.1, ES = −0.34), MRJ (−10.5 ± 3.3, ES = −0.66), and RSI (−11.2 ± 3.8, ES = −0.73), as well as significantly reduced muscle contractile properties (Dm, −14.5 ± 5.3, ES = −0.60; V90, −15.5 ± 4.9, ES = −0.62). After days of recovery, a significant return to baseline values could be observed in 1RMest (4.3 ± 2.8, ES = 0.12), CMJ (5.2 ± 2.2, ES = 0.28), and MRJ (4.9 ± 3.8, ES = 0.32), whereas RSI (−7.9 ± 4.5, ES = −0.50), Dm (−14.7 ± 4.8, ES = −0.61), and V90 (−15.3 ± 4.7, ES = −0.66) remained significantly reduced. The STM also induced significant changes of large practical relevance in CK, DOMS, PPC, and MS before to after training and after the recovery period. The markers Td and Tc remained unaffected throughout the STM. Moreover, the accuracy of selected markers for assessment of fatigue and recovery in relation to 1RMest derived from a contingency table was inadequate. Correlational analyses also revealed no significant relationships between changes in 1RMest and all analyzed markers. In conclusion, mean changes of performance markers and CK, DOMS, PPC, and MS may be attributed to STM-induced fatigue and subsequent recovery. However, given the insufficient accuracy of markers for differentiation between fatigue and recovery, their potential applicability needs to be confirmed at the individual level.

Abstract
Pote, L and Christie, CJ. Strength and conditioning practices of University and high school level cricket coaches: a South African context. J Strength Cond Res 30(12): 3464–3470, 2016—Although the sport of cricket is well established, the strength and conditioning practices of cricket players are not well known. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the current strength and conditioning practices that coaches implement for South African schoolboy and University level cricket players. An online survey, adapted from previous strength and conditioning questionnaires, was sent to 38 schoolboy and 12 University teams that participated in the top competitions in the country (n = 50). Of these, 24 replied indicating a response rate of 48%. Results indicated that although some forms of conditioning, workload monitoring and injury prevention were being implemented, the correct practices were not being administered. Furthermore, it was identified that most coaches had insufficient qualifications and experience to administer the correct training techniques. It was concluded that coaches require further education so that scientifically based training programs can be implemented. This was deemed particularly necessary for adolescent bowlers who are at an increased risk of injury, specifically in the lower back region.

Abstract
Gnacinski, SL, Cornell, DJ, Meyer, BB, Arvinen-Barrow, M, and Earl-Boehm, JE. Functional Movement Screen factorial validity and measurement invariance across sex among collegiate student-athletes. J Strength Cond Res 30(12): 3388–3395, 2016—The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a screening tool used to evaluate functional movement quality and subsequent musculoskeletal injury risk. Despite recent research on the factorial validity of the FMS, no confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) has been conducted to examine measurement invariance across sex among student-athletes. The primary purpose of the current study was to confirm the factor structure of the FMS measurement model in a collegiate student-athlete population. It was hypothesized that the 1-factor model would demonstrate better model fit than the recently proposed 2-factor model. The secondary purpose of the study was to examine FMS measurement invariance across sex using the previously identified measurement model. It was hypothesized that FMS measurement invariance would hold across sex. Male (n = 88) and female (n = 88) collegiate student-athletes completed FMS screening during the off-season. Factorial validity was examined using CFA procedures, and model parameters were estimated using maximum likelihood estimation. Measurement invariance was examined by comparison of fit indices between hierarchically constrained models. Results revealed support for both the 1- and the 2-factor models; however, the 2-factor model failed to fit the data significantly better than the 1-factor model. Results also indicated that measurement invariance did not hold across sex, indicating that the FMS sum score construct is not measured equivalently in male and female populations. Collectively, results provide evidence for the use of the unidimensional FMS sum score among collegiate student-athletes, yet prompt caution because it relates to the evaluation of sex differences in sum or movement pattern scores.
Supreme Court’s Treatment of Drug Detection Dogs Doesn’t Pass the Sniff Test
Authors: Slaughter Matthew 
Published: April 2016

The current Supreme Court approach to the nuances involved in drug detection dogs is fundamentally flawed. The Supreme Court has allowed, on the evidentiary front, the introduction of unscientific evidence into law enforcement practices, which allows officers to disregard traditional Fourth Amendment protections. As Justice Souter stated in Illinois v. Cabellas, “[T]he sniff alert does not necessarily signal hidden contraband, and opening the container or enclosed space whose emanations the dog has sensed will not necessarily reveal contraband or any other evidence of crime.”
The Courts classification of drug detection dogs in Caballes as sui generis is unsubstantiated. The Court in Caballes also determined that a dog sniff alone was sufficient to establish probable cause for a physical search inside a vehicle. The Court should revise this treatment and consider alternative proposals. Additionally the Court’s reliance in Florida v. Harris on blanket terms such as “bona fide organization” and “training program” illustrates the Justices’ incomprehension of the complexities involved in such a process. Finally, the Court in Harris inappropriately dismissed the very real financial incentive law enforcement has to maintain detection dogs that over-alert.

Zusammenfassung
Mit den Neuregelungen zur Sanierung und Abwicklung von Banken (BRRD, SRM-VO und SAG) ist das Bankeninsolvenzrecht auf eine einheitliche Grundlage gestellt worden. Der praktische Wert der eingeführten Abwicklungsmaßnahmen, insbesondere des sog. bail-in, muss sich indes noch beweisen. Nachdem sich die wissenschaftliche Diskussion bisher auf die grundsätzlichen rechtspolitischen Fragen fokussiert hat, ist es nunmehr an der Zeit, die komplexen Neuregelungen auch in ihren Details stärker zu untersuchen. Der Beitrag unternimmt es, die im SAG vorgesehenen Abwicklungsmaßnahmen vorzustellen und erste konkrete Auslegungs- und Zweifelsfragen der gesetzlichen Regelungen zu identifizieren.

OBJECTIVE:
To identify predictors of eating in the absence of hunger (EAH) in low-income toddlers, describe affect during EAH, test EAH as a predictor of body mass index (BMI), and examine the type of food eaten as a predictor of BMI.

METHODS:
EAH, indexed as kilocalories (sweet, salty, and total) of palatable foods consumed after a satiating meal, was measured (n = 209) at ages 21, 27, and 33 months. Child gender, age, race/ethnicity, and previous exposure to the foods; maternal education and depressive symptoms; and family chaos, food insecurity, and structure were obtained via questionnaire. Child and mother BMI were measured. Child affect was coded from videotape. Linear regression was used to examine predictors of EAH and the association of kilocalories consumed and affect with 33 month BMI z-score (BMIz).

RESULTS:
Predictors of greater total kilocalories included the child being a boy (P &lt; .01), being older (P &lt; .001), and greater maternal education (P &lt; .01). Being in the the top quartile of sweet kilocalories consumed at 27 months and showing negative affect at food removal had higher BMIz (β = 0.29 [95% confidence interval 0.10 to 0.48] and β = 0.34 [95% confidence interval, 0.12 to 0.56], respectively).There was no association of salty kilocalories consumed or positive affect with BMIz.

CONCLUSIONS:
There was little evidence that maternal or family characteristics contribute to EAH. EAH for sweet food predicts higher BMIz in toddlerhood. Studies investigating the etiology of EAH and interventions to reduce EAH in early childhood are needed.
Biotransformation of ferulic acid by the phytopathogenic fungi Colletotrichum acutatum and Lasiodiplodia theobromae

The microbial transformation of ferulic acid (FA) offers a cleaner, more economical alternative for the natural production of flavorings and fragrances. In the present study, the biotransformation of FA using the filamentous phytopathogenic fungi Colletotrichum acutatum and Lasiodiplodia theobromae was researched. Initially, the toxicity of FA against both fungi was evaluated; the FA displayed a moderate toxicity (total inhibition at concentrations ≥ 2000 mg L-1) and apparently a detoxification mechanism was present. Afterwards, the microorganisms were incubated with the substrate at room conditions using a Czapek-Dox culture medium. The results demonstrated that the FA was mainly converted to 4-vinylguaiacol, reaching the highest abundance within the first 48 hours. To a lesser extent, acetovanillone, ethylguaiacol, and vanillin, among others, were produced. Interestingly, the compounds generated in the biotransformation of FA with C. acutatum and L. theobromae have been used as flavorings. Based on the identified metabolites, a possible metabolic pathway was proposed.

SummaryObjective: Delayed gastric emptying is a well-recognised phenomenon in a number of canine disease conditions. Only a limited number of drugs have been reported to have some gastrokinetic effect in the dog. The aim of this study was to investigate prokinetic effects of maropitant. Material and methods: In a cross-over study 24 healthy adult Beagle dogs were randomised to receive either maropitant (2 mg/kg q24 h PO), cisapride (1 mg/kg q12 h PO) or placebo (vitamin- B12, 10 μg/dog q24 h PO) for 7 days with a 7-day washout period between treatments. Gastric emptying was measured simultaneously via 99mTechnetium radioscintigraphy and 13C-sodium acetate breath testing for 6 hours post-feeding. The decrease in radioactive counts in the stomach and the increase in 13CO2 concentration in exhaled breath (measured via gas chromatography) were plotted against time. The area under the curve was determined for each test and the time to 25%, 50% and 75% gastric emptying was calculated for each method. Friedman test was used to compare gastric emptying times. Results: With both methods, no difference for gastric emptying times was observed for any treatment. Conclusion and clinical relevance: Neither maropitant nor cisapride were shown to have an effect on gastric emptying in healthy beagles using radioscintigraphy or breath test when compared to placebo. Consequently, neither drug can be recommended as a gastric prokinetic in dogs.

Abstract
On September 20, 2012, a marketing authorization valid throughout the European Union (EU) was issued for decitabine for the treatment of adult patients aged 65 years and older with newly diagnosed de novo or secondary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are not candidates for standard induction chemotherapy. Decitabine is a pyrimidine analog incorporated into DNA, where it irreversibly inhibits DNA methyltransferases through covalent adduct formation with the enzyme. The use of decitabine was studied in an open-label, randomized, multicenter phase III study (DACO-016) in patients with newly diagnosed de novo or secondary AML. Decitabine (n = 242) was compared with patient’s choice with physician’s advice (n = 243) of low-dose cytarabine or supportive care alone. The primary endpoint of the study was overall survival. The median overall survival in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population was 7.7 months among patients treated with decitabine compared with 5.0 months for those in the control arm (hazard ratio [HR], 0.85; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.69–1.04; p = .1079). Mature survival data after an additional year of follow-up were consistent with these results, with a median overall survival of 7.7 months in patients treated with decitabine and 5.0 months in the control arm (HR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.68–0.99; p = .0373). Secondary endpoints, including response rates, progression-free survival, and event-free survival, were increased in favor of decitabine when compared with control treatment. The most common adverse drug reactions reported during treatment with decitabine are pyrexia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, febrile neutropenia, neutropenia, nausea, and diarrhea. This paper summarizes the scientific review of the application leading to approval of decitabine in the EU. The detailed scientific assessment report and product information (including the summary of product characteristics) for this product are available on the EMA website (http://www.ema.europa.eu).
Schneiderian Membrane Thickness and Clinical Implications for Sinus Augmentation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Regression Analyses
Authors: Monje Alberto , Diaz Karla Tatiana , Aranda Luisiana , Insua Angel , Garcia‐Nogales Agustin , Wang Hom‐Lay 
Published: April 2016

Background: Schneiderian membrane thickness (SMT) has been regarded as a key factor for influencing membrane perforation, which may jeopardize the final clinical outcome of sinus augmentation. Hence, this systematic review aims at studying the mean SMT and further investigating patient‐related factors that may affect SMT. As a secondary goal, the association between SMT and membrane perforation rate was studied.Methods: Three independent reviewers in several databases, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Cochrane Oral Health Group Trials Register databases, conducted electronic and manual literature searches. This review was written and conducted according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses) and MECIR (Methodological Expectations of Cochrane Intervention Reviews) guidelines. Quantitative assessment was performed for articles that met the inclusion criteria to investigate the mean SMT, its contributing factors, and the influence on membrane damage and surgical complications.Results: Thirty‐one studies that reported maxillary SMT were considered for qualitative analysis. Nineteen were further meta‐analyzed. Overall mean ± SE SMT was 1.17 ± 0.1 mm (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.89 to 1.44). Although mean SMT for the three‐dimensional radiography (3DR) group was 1.33 mm (95% CI = 1.06 to 1.60), for the histology group, it was 0.48 mm (95% CI = 0.12 to 1.1). Random‐effects model showed that, although there is a trend for thicker SMT as determined using 3DR compared with histologic analysis, such difference did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.15). Also, regression analyses demonstrated that the variables periodontitis (P = 0.13) and smoking (P = 0.11) showed thicker SMT. Inconclusive data were obtained when correlating SMT and perforation rate, although it seems that thicker SMT might be more prone to perforation (P = 0.14).Conclusions: SMT is, on average, 1 mm in patients seeking sinus augmentation. Three‐dimensional technologies overestimate approximately 2.5 times SMT when compared with histologic analysis. Periodontitis and smoking may result in thickening of the sinus membrane. However, current data were inconclusive to link SMT to the rate of membrane damage.
Valuation of Prospective Resources - A Portfolio Approach
Authors: Jankowski E. J. , Kirchin A. 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
There are many ways to approach the valuation of an exploration portfolio. The most appropriate methodology will depend on the scale and complexity of the portfolio as well as time/resource constraints. An expected monetary value (EMV) approach based on success case discounted cash flow analyses is generally the preferred valuation methodology. Various EMV approaches are described and when they might be applicable is discussed. For large complex portfolios the only reliable valuation methodology is a full probabilistic approach built around a Monte Carlo simulation of all possible exploration outcomes. This approach will be illustrated via a detailed case study to back up the EMV discussion.
The expected value of an exploration portfolio should be the mean of all possible values of the portfolio. This is driven by all possible combinations of success and failure of the exploration drill out of the portfolio and the resource uncertainty in those wells that are successful. Short cut approaches are frequently adopted to simplify the valuation process but in many cases the final value, which may be described as the expected value, is in reality not the true expected value. These short cuts often ignore any correlation or dependency between the chances of success for prospects in the portfolio. In undeveloped or immature areas, the commercial and development synergies and dependencies can also have a very significant impact on the ultimate expected value. These short cut approaches do not capture these impacts. In most cases, therefore, the only way to derive an expected value is adopt a full probabilistic approach in a similar manner as routinely employed for resource volumes. A large worked example is presented to highlight the methodology together with some practical ways of dealing with valuation complexities that arise in many portfolios. The end product is not only a single expected value but a distribution of value of the portfolio. The ability to report a range of value similar to the range of resource volumes that are routinely reported is far more informative to decision makers or investors than the current practice of a single expected value.
Apply Two-Way Cluster Analysis to Select Candidate Reservoir Models From Multiple Realizations
Authors: Fei Jin , Yarus Jeffrey M. , Chambers Richard 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
Unconventional resource plays are not typically homogeneous; therefore the reservoirs might not be contiguous. Geostatistical based earth modeling can create hundreds of reservoir property realizations. The challenge is to select a few optimal models from these realizations for further analysis. Traditionally, candidates are selected from ranked distributions representing quantiles (e.g., P10, P50, and P90) of the reservoir volumetrics, which assumes contiguous reservoir volumes. However, such methods lack any physical geometrical information.
In this paper, a two-way clustering method is used to take into account spatial property information. First, a three-dimensional (3-D) realization is transformed into a one-dimensional (1-D) array, so that each element of the array maps to one single grid cell that carries the spatial location information. Next, a matrix is created from the multiple realizations. Each column represents a single realization, and each row represents a single 3-D grid cell. Then, clustering algorithm is applied to both columns (R-mode) and rows (Q-mode). R-mode shows the similarity of different realizations, whereas Q-mode shows the clusters of different cells. Finally, connected geobodies are extracted from the clusters.
This novel method was applied to a west Texas Permian basin reservoir. Domain experts can first select realization candidates from different R-mode clusters and compare the results. Then, the location and connectivity of cells from Q-mode clustering can be mapped in addition to evaluating their statistical ranking. During Q-mode cluster analysis, Euclidean distance carries the spatial property location of the cell in a distance calculation. Statistical analysis of the geobodies suggests the optimal realization, which is not necessarily the P50. Through such quantitative evaluations of all the realizations, geologists and reservoir engineers can select optimistic to pessimistic realizations to aid economic assessment of the reservoir.
