Introduction Hand-held dynamometry (HHD) has never previously been used to examine isometric muscle power. Rate of force development (RFD) is often used for muscle power assessment, however no consensus currently exists on the most appropriate method of calculation. The aim of this study was to examine the reliability of different algorithms for RFD calculation and to examine the intra-rater, inter-rater, and inter-device reliability of HHD as well as the concurrent validity of HHD for the assessment of isometric lower limb muscle strength and power. Methods 30 healthy young adults (age: 23±5yrs, male: 15) were assessed on two sessions. Isometric muscle strength and power were measured using peak force and RFD respectively using two HHDs (Lafayette Model-01165 and Hoggan microFET2) and a criterion-reference Kin-Com dynamometer. Statistical analysis of reliability and validity comprised intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), Pearson correlations, concordance correlations, standard error of measurement, and minimal detectable change. Results Comparison of RFD methods revealed that a peak 200ms moving window algorithm provided optimal reliability results. Intra-rater, inter-rater, and inter-device reliability analysis of peak force and RFD revealed mostly good to excellent reliability (coefficients ô 0.70) for all muscle groups. Concurrent validity analysis showed moderate to excellent relationships between HHD and fixed dynamometry for the hip and knee (ICCs ô 0.70) for both peak force and RFD, with mostly poor to good results shown for the ankle muscles (ICCs = 0.31-0.79). \Conclusions Hand-held dynamometry has good to excellent reliability and validity for most measures of isometric lower limb strength and power in a healthy population, particularly for proximal muscle groups. To aid implementation we have created freely available software to extract these variables from data stored on the Lafayette device. Future research should examine the reliability and validity of these variables in clinical populations.

description: This work investigates the process of evaporation of a liquid fuel in a small gravitational fields by using the experimental model bench (EMB), which simulates the allocated volume of the fuel in the rocket tank. A convective exchange between a gas carrier and the surface of the liquid fuel is supported by an acoustic device. To intensify the process of heat and mass transfer acoustic gas-jet generators (AGG) and magnetostriction emitters (MSE) are used. Investigations are carried out under different parameters of heat carrier, acoustic oscillations and liquid fuel properties. Heat and mass transfer coefficients are measured both using acoustic influence and without acoustic influence.

description: Gold miners captured and diverted large volumes of water to work their

sources, however, has not been widely researched or understood, despite
the profound effect it had on the transformation of landscapes and
waterways, its role in the commodification of water, and its influence
on the development of colonial water law. The alluvial goldfields around
 Creswick in central Victoria, where extensive evidence of water
management is preserved in the landscape today, provides an important
case study of water use in alluvial mining. The Humbug Hill Sluicing
Company was one of many groups in the district to engage in water
engineering on a large scale, and the remains of their activities shed
light on changes in the use and perception of water and the role of
miners with Californian experience in developing water resources on the

description: The large-scale vortex structure of flow in the near wake behind an aircraft during its run on a runway is investigated numerically. The geometrical aircraft configuration was taken close to a mid-range commercial aircraft like Boeing 737-300. It included all essential elements: a body (fuselage), wings with winglets, horizontal and vertical stabilizers, engine nacelles, nacelle pylons, inboard flap track fairings, leading-edge and trailing-edge flaps, and spoilers. Flaps and spoilers position corresponded to the takeoff and landing run conditions. Computational simulation was based on solving the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations closed with the Menter SST turbulence model. Patterns of streamlines, fields of the axial vorticity and the turbulent intensity, vertical and horizontal velocity profiles in the wake are compared and discussed for both run regimes. The flow model was preliminary tested for validity by comparison of the calculated velocity profiles behind a small-scaled aircraft model with those obtained in special wind tunnel experiments.

description: This paper presents a methodology called GUSTL (Generalized collocation method using Stiffness matrices in the context of the Theory of Linear viscoelasticity), which is designed to efficiently estimate the parameters of a Pronyseries representation using measured data of the complex modulus E* of a viscoelastic material obtained via a dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMA or DMTA). The methodology is based on the idea of solving an inverse problem, which is established as a physically motivated system of linear equations. The "stiffness matrix" of this problem is derived out of the interdepencies of the single elements of the Generalized-Maxwell-Elements. Further extensions of the method to the incorporation of the time-temperature-superposition (TTS) principle as well as uncertainty quantification tasks are also highlighted. The whole methodology is validated against sample data from an epoxy-coated carbon reinforcement grid for concrete structures and from a PVB-interlayer material for laminated safety glass.
Embracing Imminence: land ... scapes and the peculiar distance

description: Embracing Imminence casts a realigned landscape practice into the temporal lag immediately preceding the Anthropocene’s official ratification, anticipating the conceptual and disciplinary implications of this epoch. ‘Imminence’ is a temporal condition which is simultaneously anticipatory and deferred. This research articulates three modes of landscape practice that intensify what James Corner calls the ‘peculiar distance’ of landscape architecture’s mediated agency, foregrounding a durational understanding of the landscape as an imminent condition. Geologic signifiers of perpetual and serial change are apprehended through the research as harbingers of a likely near-future landscape condition. Through the modes of plotting, gleaning and fabricating, I explore the mobility and flux of the land in relation to the geological agency of the body. Each mode ‘grasps for’ and suspends the dynamic, entangled conditions of the restless body and the shifting ground as an expanded practice of making. Collectively, these modes of practice modulate, waylay and ‘hold open’ a relation to imminence.

Just before the last bastion of the ground’s metaphoric stability is jettisoned, it must shed its associations of solidity, homogeneity and stasis. We are, as Tim Ingold (2015) foretells, cast adrift unable to cling to the customary narrative of the material ground as a natural foundation separate from our own human agency. The research encounters, forecasts and obfuscates the co-composed conditions of this rapid acceleration, and the increasing instability of the geologic, through three scapes: Siltscape, Sandscape, and Saltscape. By running counter to Cartesian renditions of the ground as immobile or inert, the scapes reveal the ground’s volatility and mobility. They capture shifts that are perceivable in a human lifetime, as opposed to the geological epochs by which most geomorphological changes are registered. This augurs a research terrain simultaneously horizontal, geologic and durational... a terrain that trembles a processual latency between the now and the just before. Embracing Imminence demonstrates an orientation for speculative landscape praxis that accrues and amplifies the mediated conditions of landscape architectural practice, and engages the preoccupation with uncertainty that is heralded by this epoch.
Mechanism of ideal gas separation for bodies in a supersonic flow

description: A mechanism has been formulated that describes the formation of forces causing separation of gas fluxes in non-stationary and spatial flows. A condition has been analytically derived that describes the separation of the gas flow. This flow is torn off either from the body surface or from the mixing layer in the form of a vortex, which induces a velocity in the field of flow, opposite to the velocity of the main flow, while also decelerating it. In accordance with this analytically derived condition, the conditions of separation for cone and self-similar gas flows have also been found, which coincide with the results of experimental and numerical simulation.

description: Non-coding Y RNAs are required for the initiation of chromosomal DNA replication in mammalian cells. It is unknown how they perform this function or if they associate with a nuclear structure during DNA replication. Here, we investigate the association of Y RNAs with chromatin and their interaction with replication proteins during DNA replication in a human cell-free system. Our results show that fluorescently labelled Y RNAs associate with unreplicated euchromatin in late G1 phase cell nuclei before the initiation of DNA replication. Following initiation, Y RNAs are displaced locally from nascent and replicated DNA present in replication foci. In intact human cells, a substantial fraction of endogenous Y RNAs are associated with G1 phase nuclei, but not with G2 phase nuclei. Y RNAs interact and colocalise with the origin recognition complex (ORC), the pre-replication complex (pre-RC) protein Cdt1, and other proteins implicated in the initiation of DNA replication. These data support a molecular 'catch and release' mechanism for Y RNA function during the initiation of chromosomal DNA replication, which is consistent with Y RNAs acting as replication licensing factors. © 2011.

description: © 2014, © 2014 European College of Sport Science. Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine the relative and absolute reliability of second lactate turnpoint using fixed and individual blood lactate method in competitive cyclists. Twenty-eight male, well-trained cyclists (30.2 ± 10.1 years, 72.0 ± 7.4 kg, 177.3 ± 4.7 cm) were recruited to participate in this study. Cyclists completed two incremental cycling tests to exhaustion over a period of 7 days to determine their peak power output, maximal oxygen uptake, maximal heart rate, maximal blood lactate concentration and two lactate turnpoint criteria. The fixed blood concentration criterion (3.5 mM) and an individual criterion were assessed by a lactate-power curve, considering power output, heart rate and oxygen uptake. The main finding of this study was that both lactate turnpoint criteria showed identical low within-subject variation for power output (2.8% coefficient of variation). High values for test–retest correlations ranging from r = 0.70 to r = 0.94 were found for all variables in both threshold criteria. In conclusion, the individual and fixed method to determine the second lactate turnpoint showed similar high absolute and relative reliability in competitive cyclists.

description: L'article intitulé "Le phénomène de gestion des bénéfices – une analyse théorique" présente un aperçu des théories qui fondent les pratiques de gestion des bénéfices au sein des entreprises. Tout d'abord, la recherche repose sur une analyse approfondie de la littérature existante, notamment sur les théories des contrats, de l'agence et des coûts politiques. Ces théories offrent la possibilité de saisir les raisons profondes qui incitent les dirigeants à influencer les résultats financiers.  Ensuite, l'article se penche sur les méthodes employées afin d'améliorer l'équité financière. Il examine les diverses approches utilisées par les entreprises afin de diminuer les résultats, sous-évaluer les actifs ou surévaluer les passifs. L'objectif de ces méthodes est de donner une vision plus positive de la performance financière de l'entreprise, de répondre aux attentes des investisseurs, de diminuer les dépenses de financement et d'influencer les décisions des parties impliquées.

En résumé, cette recherche théorique souligne la complexité du processus de gestion des profits. Des facteurs internes (conflit d'intérêts, asymétries d'information) et externes (pressions réglementaires, concurrence) sont à la fois à l'origine des pratiques de manipulation des résultats comptables. Il est crucial que les chercheurs, les praticiens et les régulateurs comprennent ces mécanismes pour élaborer des outils d'analyse et de contrôle plus performants.

description: Background: Concurrent validity and intra-rater reliability using a customized Android phone application to measure cervical-spine range-of-motion (ROM) has not been previously validated against a gold-standard three-dimensional motion analysis (3DMA) system. Findings. Twenty-one healthy individuals (age:31 ± 9.1 years, male:11) participated, with 16 re-examined for intra-rater reliability 1-7 days later. An Android phone was fixed on a helmet, which was then securely fastened on the participant's head. Cervical-spine ROM in flexion, extension, lateral flexion and rotation were performed in sitting with concurrent measurements obtained from both a 3DMA system and the phone.The phone demonstrated moderate to excellent (ICC = 0.53-0.98, Spearman ρ = 0.52-0.98) concurrent validity for ROM measurements in cervical flexion, extension, lateral-flexion and rotation. However, cervical rotation demonstrated both proportional and fixed bias. Excellent intra-rater reliability was demonstrated for cervical flexion, extension and lateral flexion (ICC = 0.82-0.90), but poor for right- and left-rotation (ICC = 0.05-0.33) using the phone. Possible reasons for the outcome are that flexion, extension and lateral-flexion measurements are detected by gravity-dependent accelerometers while rotation measurements are detected by the magnetometer which can be adversely affected by surrounding magnetic fields. Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrate that the tested Android phone application is valid and reliable to measure ROM of the cervical-spine in flexion, extension and lateral-flexion but not in rotation likely due to magnetic interference. The clinical implication of this study is that therapists should be mindful of the plane of measurement when using the Android phone to measure ROM of the cervical-spine. © 2014 Quek et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

title: Evaluations- und Generalisierungseffekte in der Kunstwahrnehmung
Creators: name: Strasser, Maria Elisabeth
Year: 2010

description: Die Studie ging der Frage nach, wie sich die andauernde Beliebtheit moderner Kunst teilweise erklären lässt. Schlüsselfaktor war dabei die Kunstwerken inhärente Innovation. Je innovativer ein Objekt (moderne Kunst), desto geringer das Gefallen. Gleichzeitig tritt bei gering innovativer Kunst das Phänomen der Sättigung rasch auf, welches ein Sinken des Gefallens bedingt. Innovative Objekte scheinen dagegen resistent zu sein – die zu Beginn ablehnende Haltung wandelt sich zugunsten des Objektes und das sich entwickelte Gefallen bleibt, aufgrund der Stabilität des Faktors Innovation, erhalten. Mit Hilfe der Repeated Evaluation Technique (Carbon & Leder, 2005) wurde versucht, die Auseinandersetzung mit einem Objekt im Alltag zu simulieren und den Einfluss des impliziten Wissens auf eine ästhetische Reaktion zu untersuchen. Die generierte bewusste als auch unbewusste Bekanntheit des Objektes beeinflusst implizit die Urteilsbildung. Die Ergebnisse von Experiment I zeigten den erwarteten Evaluationseffekt: klassische Kunst wurde anfangs präferiert, nach einer Phase der intensiven Auseinandersetzung sank das Gefallen für diese und das Gefallen für innovative Kunst stieg an. Der auf dem Structural Mere Exposure Paradigma (Gordon & Holyoak, 1983) basierende Generalisierungseffekt, wonach das Gefallen auf Objekte derselben Struktur wie bereits Vertraute transferiert wird, konnte nicht nachgewiesen werden. Es wurde spekuliert, dass ein starker Kontrasteffekt Ursache für die negativen Werte der neuen Bilder sein könnte. In einem zweiten Experiment konnte, nach Teilung der Stichprobe nach genereller Stilpräferenz, ein (nicht signifikanter) Gefallenstransfer vor allem bei der weniger beliebten Stilklasse (klassisch vs. modern) gezeigt werden. Die Ergebnisse wurden dahingehend interpretiert, dass Gefallensurteile resistenter gegen Änderungen sind, je größer die Präferenz für diesen Stil ist. Das Ausbleiben eines generellen Generalisierungseffekts wurde durch eine zu geringe Internalisierung des Inhaltes erklärt, wodurch es zu keinen affektiven Reaktionen kam.

description: We present a new approach to establish the existence of a unique limit cycle for the van der Pol equation in case of large damping which is hyperbolic and stable. The proof is based on a linear time scaling (instead of the nonlinear Liénard transformation), on a Dulac--Cherkas function and the property of rotating vector fields.

description: BACKGROUND: The Microsoft Kinect has been used previously to assess spatiotemporal aspects of gait; however the reliability of this system for the assessment of people following stroke has not been established. This study examined the reliability and additional information that the Kinect provides when instrumenting a gait assessment in people living with stroke.METHODS: The spatiotemporal variables of step length, step length asymmetry, foot swing velocity, foot swing velocity asymmetry, peak and mean gait speed and the percentage difference between the peak and mean gait speed were assessed during gait trials in 30 outpatients more than three months post-stroke and able to stand unsupported. Additional clinical assessments of functional reach (FR), step test (ST), 10 m walk test (10MWT) and the timed up and go (TUG) were performed, along with force platform instrumented assessments of center of pressure path length velocity during double-legged standing balance with eyes closed (DLEC), weight bearing asymmetry (WBA) and dynamic medial-lateral weight-shifting ability (MLWS). These tests were performed on two separate occasions, seven days apart for reliability assessment. Separate adjusted multiple regressions models for predicting scores on the clinical and force platform assessments were created using 1) the easily assessed clinically-derived gait variables 10MWT time and total number of steps; and 2) the Kinect-derived variables which were found to be reliable (ICC > 0.75) and not strongly correlated (Spearman's ρ 0.80), but many were redundant. The final regression model using Kinect-derived variables consisted of the asymmetry scores, mean gait velocity, affected limb foot swing velocity and the difference between peak and mean gait velocity. In comparison with the clinically-derived regression model, the Kinect-derived model accounted for >15% more variance on the MLWS, ST and FR tests and scored similarly on all other measures.CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, instrumenting gait using the Kinect is reliable and provides insight into the dynamic balance capacity of people living with stroke. This system provides a minimally intrusive method of examining potentially important gait characteristics in people living with stroke.

description: Artificial intelligence (AI) methods have come a long way in tabletop games, with computer programs having now surpassed human experts in the challenging games of chess, Go and heads-up no-limit Texas hold'em. However, a significant simplifying factor in these games is that individual decisions have a relatively large impact on the state of the game. The real world, however, is granular. Human beings are continually presented with new information and are faced with making a multitude of tiny decisions every second. Viewed in these terms, feedback is often sparse, meaning that it only arrives after one has made a great number of decisions. Moreover, in many real-world problems there is a continuous range of actions to choose from, and attaining meaningful feedback from the environment often requires a strong degree of action coordination. Videogames, in which players must likewise contend with granular time scales and continuous action spaces, are in this sense a better proxy for real-world problems, and have thus become regarded by many as the new frontier in games AI.

Seemingly, the way in which human players approach granular decision-making in videogames is by decomposing complex tasks into high-level subproblems, thereby allowing them to focus on the "big picture". For example, in Super Mario World, human players seem to look ahead in extended steps, such as climbing a vine or jumping over a pit, rather than planning one frame at a time. Currently though, this type of reasoning does not come easily to machines, leaving many open research problems related to task decomposition. This thesis focuses on three such problems in particular: (1) The challenge of learning subgoals autonomously, so as to lessen the issue of sparse feedback. (2) The challenge of combining discrete planning techniques with extended actions whose durations and effects on the environment are uncertain. (3) The questions of when and why it is beneficial to reason over high-level continuous control variables, such as the velocity of a player-controlled ship, rather than over the most low-level actions available. We address these problems via new algorithms and novel experimental design, demonstrating empirically that our algorithms are more efficient than strong baselines that do not leverage task decomposition, and yielding insight into the types of environment where task decomposition is likely to be beneficial.

Efficient compression of large repetitive strings
Creators: name: Hoobin, Christopher
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: When is comes to managing large volumes of data, general-purpose compressors such as gzip are ubiquitous. They are fast, practical and available on every modern platform from standard desktops to mobile devices.

These tools exploit local redundancy in a text using a fixed-size sliding window. This window is usually very small relative to the text, however, in principle it can be as large as available memory. The window acts as a dictionary. Compression is achieved by replacing substrings with pointers to previous occurrences found in the dictionary. This type of algorithm becomes problematic when dealing with collections that are larger than physical memory, as it fails to capture any non-local redundancy, that is, repetition that occurs outside of its search window. With rapid growth in the already enormous amount of data we store and process there is a pressing need for improving compression effectiveness, reducing both storage requirements and decompression costs. However, many systems still use general-purpose compression tools on large highly repetitive data collections.

In this thesis we focus on addressing this issue. We explore compression in a variety of domains where large volumes of data need to be stored and accessed, and general-purpose compression tools are cannon. First we discuss our work on web corpus compression, then we discuss the implementation of a practical index for repetitive texts that gives strong theoretical bounds in terms of size and access, and finally, we discuss our work on compression of high-throughput sequencing reads. We show that in all cases, our new methods improve on current techniques in both run-time and compression effectiveness, and provide important functionality such as fast decoding and random access.

description: In mittlerweile zahlreichen Studien der Wahrnehmungsforschung konnte gezeigt werden, dass Blickbewegungen beim Betrachten von Bildern stark den Blickbewegungen bei darauf folgender visueller Vorstellung derselbigen ähneln und somit den Inhalt einer Szene widerspiegeln. Nach einer ausgedehnten Lernphase, die durch mehrmalige Präsentation der Originalbilder erfolgte, wurden die „scanpaths“ jeder VP aufgezeichnet. Nach einem Tag kam es zur erneuten Präsentation derselben, aber teilweise spiegelverkehrt dargestellten, Stimuli unter gleichzeitiger Aufzeichnung der sakkadischen Augenbewegungen. Untersucht wurde, basierend auf dem Konzept der „Fluency“, das von einer „flüssigeren“ Informationsverarbeitung bei „familiären“ Stimuli ausgeht und der „Feature-Ring“ Hypothese, welche das (Wieder)-Erkennen als eine sensomotorische Repräsentation eines enkodierten Musters durch eine bestimmte Abfolge von Blickbewegungen determiniert, ob die zur Originalversion zugehörigen Blickbewegungen initial an die spiegelverkehrten Bilder angelegt wurden. Somit soll verstanden werden, ob es die anfänglich unpassenden Scanpaths sind, die die Verfremdung seitenverkehrter Bilder ausmachen. Es zeigte sich, dass sich die ersten 5 Fixationen beim Betrachten von Originalbildern und spiegelverkehrten Werken mehr ähnelten, als die darauf folgenden 5 Fixationen. Dieses Ergebnis konnte allerdings auch in der Bedingung ohne Spiegelung der Stimuli gefunden werden, was daraufhinweisen könnte, dass sowohl beim Betrachten, als auch beim Wiedererkennen, eine bestimmte Scanningstrategie verfolgt wurde.
description: A disclosure of alienation effects resulting from viewing mirror-inverted scenes is attempted – based on numerous studies of perception research which assume that eye-movements deriving from subjects viewing scenes strongly resemble the eye-movements that are generated by a subsequent mere imagination of these stimuli. During an extensive learning period, 10 subjects are presented both famous and unknown pictures several times while their eye-movements are recorded simultaneously and, one day later, the presentation of the stimuli is varied from the original version to a mirror-inverted one for a determined number of stimuli. Thus a number of questions must be raised. First of all, if subjects tend to initially show the original scanpaths while they are viewing the mirror-inverted scenes – in order to stick to a more fluent information processing – and secondly, if these unfitting scanpaths are the reason why looking at mirror-inverted pictures appears to be so strange to us. Concluding, the first five fixations while viewing original and mirror-inverted pictures were more similar than the subsequent five fixations. However, this was also the case for the viewing condition without mirror-reversal and accordingly, a specific scanning strategy concerning image inspection and image recognition can be considered.

description: Through the lens of screenwriting practice, this research project interrogates female perspectives in mainstream, comedy screenplays. Its central investigation asks whether or not these perspectives are under-represented, suggesting script development processes are both informed by, and reinforce, the culturally entrenched gendered biases that might see female perspectives, especially in comedies, confined to the margins. Giving particular focus to the female protagonist, this research takes a creative practice approach to exploring the ways in which her perspective might be written into the pages of the screenplay, considering both content and form. The culmination is the writing of Funny/Peculiar, a comedy, feature-length screenplay, which aims to forefront the female protagonist and her perspective from within the confines of the same mainstream structures, formatting and conventions with which this research is critically engaged. Through creative practice a particular narrative device is defined, that of the ‘flipped reality’, which is recruited for the screenplay and dissected in the wider research. Discoveries and experimentation pertaining to perspective arise from the application of this device, including the employment of the second person point-of-view – or ‘Point-of-You’ – for describing screenplay action. Positioned within a postmodern-feminist sensibility, this research looks beyond a politics of inclusion and examines how the ‘norm’ is understood in discourses of comedy, screenwriting and (postmodern) feminism. Through screenwriting practice as a mode of enquiry come new approaches to notions of what is considered to be normal, and the possibilities for alternative perspectives.
