Characterization of Navajo sandstone hydrous ferric oxide concretions

Subjects: Geology--Utah
Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument

description: In Utah's Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument (GSENM), abundant  spheroidal hydrous ferric oxide (HFO) concretions (cemented mineral masses) of the  Jurassic Navajo Sandstone are present both in situ and loose in topographic lows. The  HFO cement phases are typically amorphous HFO, goethite and hematite. Concretions  are a significant record of diagenetic history, iron cycling and precipitation/mobilization  events. The physical characterization of the concretions provides data to infer the  processes affecting precipitation geometries and timing of precipitation events throughout  the diagenetic history of the sandstone reservoir. Physical properties of the concretions  also provide data to propose a model for formation of spheroidal HFO concretions.  Three precipitation geometries are present in GSENM: 1. spheroidal (aspect ratio  ranges from 1.00 to 1.06) to discoidal (aspect ratio >1.06) macro concretions >5 mm  diameter, 2. spheroidal to discoidal micro concretions <5 mm diameter, and 3. HFO-lined  joints and related asymmetrical loopy mineralization and banded precipitation patterns  (Liesegang bands). Three end members of Utah macro concretions (rind, layered and  solid) and two end members of micro concretions (rind and solid) are distinguished by  internal structure. Different precipitation geometries result from a combination of  diffusive and advective mass transfer.  Multiple generations of cement textures and minerals suggest a pervasive growth  model similar to some carbonate concretions where HFO concretions are precipitated  with a set radius from multiple nuclei throughout the concretion. Chemical and mineral phase gradients detected via QEMSCAN and visible to near infrared (Vnir) reflectance  spectroscopy suggest that concretions form initially from an amorphous HFO gel that  dehydrates with age to more stable phases (goethite, hematite). Some internal structures  of concretions are a result of overprinting from late-stage precipitation events.  The Utah concretions interest planetary scientists because similarities with spherules  in Meridiani Planum suggest that Mars "blueberries" also form via diffusive reactant  transfer during groundwater diagenesis and Mars hematite likely had precursor HFO  phases. Multiple mineralization events have probably occurred on Mars although  variability of Utah concretions represents a more complex history of diagenesis.  Concretions preserve a record of diagenetic events. Reservoir evolution is better  understood by determining how concretions grow and change over time.
A reliability-based geometric design approach to freeway number of lanes decisions

description: For more than twenty years, the introduction of reliability-based analysis into roadway geometric design has been investigated. This type of probabilistic geometric design analysis is well suited to explicitly address the level of variability and randomness associated with design inputs when compared to a more deterministic design approach. In this study, reliability analysis was used to estimate the probability distribution of operational performance that might result from basic number of lanes decisions made to achieve a design level of service on a freeway. The concept is demonstrated using data from Interstate 15 and Interstate 80 in Utah. The basic traffic count data used for analysis were obtained from Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT). To account for the uncertainty in the design inputs, statistical distributions were developed and reliability analysis was carried out using Monte Carlo simulation. A statistical software Minitab was used to develop statistical distributions of design inputs involving variability from the traffic count data. Minitab was also used to run Monte Carlo simulation by generating random samples of the design inputs. The outcome of this probabilistic analysis is a distribution of vehicle density for a given number of lanes during the design hour. The main benefit of reliability analysis is that it enables designers to explicitly consider uncertainties in their decision-making and to illustrate specific values of the distributions that correspond their target level of service (e.g., the 65th through 85th percentile density corresponds to the design level of service). The results demonstrate how uncertainty in estimates of K (i.e., the percent of daily traffic in the design hour), directional distribution, percent heavy-vehicles, and free-flow speed significantly contribute to the variation in the vehicle density on a freeway.

Resting respiratory sinus arrhythmia is associated with affective responses to romantic partner interactions in daily life
Creators: name: Cribbet, Matthew R.
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2014
Subjects: Arrhythimia
Intimacy (Psychology)
Interpersonal relations - Psychological aspects

description: Recent theory and research on psychophysiological aspects of self-regulation emphasizes the central role of resting respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), an index of parasympathetic nervous system functioning. Within the context of close relationships, resting RSA may index an individual's self-regulatory capacity to manage affect associated with interpersonal interactions. In the laboratory, RSA was measured during a 10-minute resting baseline and participants completed measures of relationship quality. Partners were emailed a link to complete an online measure of relationship quality. Following the laboratory sessions, participants were prompted (using experience sampling methodology) to provide ratings of their affect during interactions with a romantic partner throughout a day. Resting RSA was correlated with partner reports of conflict in the relationship but not participant ratings of relationship quality. Multilevel models revealed a positive association between resting RSA and reports of calm and relaxed affect during social interactions with a romantic partner. Resting RSA was negatively associated with upset and angry affect during interactions with a romantic partner. These findings suggest that resting RSA may influence affect regulation during social interactions with a romantic partner and may have implications for understanding processes key to self-regulation and health.

"I Got the Cell Count Blues:" Danez Smith, HIV, and the Legacy of the Black Arts Movement
Creators: name: Juncosa, Toni R.
Publisher: name:  JAm It! (Journal of American Studies in Italy)
Year: 2019

description: This paper connects Danez Smith’s collection of poems Don’t Call Us Dead (2017) to writing by the poet’s predecessors in the Black Arts Movement. I argue that Smith’s expression of HIV in their poetry continues and updates the denunciation of mass incarceration of, as well as structural violence against, non-white US citizens. My goal is to analyze intertextuality and the main topoi in Smith’s poetry as elements contributing to the extension of the BAM’s attempt to raise awareness and create Black self-determination and nationhood (Neal 1969). To do so, I read Smith’s work in light of contemporary thought, focusing on Judith Butler’s (2004) ideas of grievability, indefinite detention, and the hierarchies of death.

Youth development in community recreation programs: leveraging context to promote self-regulation
Creators: name: Morgan, Cass A.
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Mentoring
Program evaluation
Recreation programming
Self-regulation
Youth development

description: This dissertation is comprised of five chapters, three of which are written in an article format and will later be submitted for publication. The remaining two chapters, Chapters 1 and 5, serve as introductory and summary chapters. This dissertation seeks to address conceptually, empirically, and from an evaluative standpoint how recreation settings can serve to promote self-regulation in youth. Recreation programs are ideally situated to support the development of self-regulation in youth. However, the role of self-regulation in recreation programs is one that has seen little review, making it an important topic to examine. Chapter 2 is a synthesis of the literature on self-regulation, youth development, and recreation. This chapter provides practitioners with leverage points on how to support self-regulation in youth. The findings from this synthesis suggest that practitioners can utilize some of the key elements of a recreation program to foster self-regulation. Specifically, practitioners should leverage fun and enjoyment, recreation activities that have developmental attributes, and interpersonal relationships. A discussion with recommendations for practice is presented. The third chapter examines the effects of a mentoring program on youth participants' self-regulation. An 8-week-long mentoring curriculum was implemented in a summer recreation program. The research was conducted with two matched sites from the same recreation agency, one to serve as the treatment site, the other to serve as a comparison site. Self-regulation scores were collected on a sample of youth who received mentoring (n = 29) and youth who did not receive mentoring (n = 35). A repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance was conducted. Results indicated that youth who received the mentoring showed a greater rate of change over time in self-regulation than the comparison site. These findings suggest that a structured mentoring program is an important mechanism with which to promote youths' self-regulation. Implications for research and practice are discussed. Chapter 4 presents a broader approach to program evaluation by providing an example of program implementation evaluation. This paper draws on the implementation of a youth mentoring program to illustrate the methods used to assess key implementation factors. A mixed methods approach was used to collect implementation data and included the use of a structured journal and interviews with program implementers and participants. The process of assessing program implementation is discussed, highlighting the challenges in conducting program implementation evaluation within a recreation setting.

Static analysis of android applications

Malware
Static analysis

description: Today's smartphones house private and confidential data ubiquitously. Mobile apps running on the devices can leak sensitive information by accident or intentionally. To understand application behaviors before running a program, we need to statically analyze it, tracking what data are accessed, where sensitive data ow, and what operations are performed with the data. However, automated identification of malicious behaviors in Android apps is challenging: First, there is a primary challenge in analyzing object-oriented programs precisely, soundly and efficiently, especially in the presence of exceptions. Second, there is an Android-specific challenge|asynchronous execution of multiple entry points. Third, the maliciousness of any given behavior is application-dependent and subject to human judgment. In this work, I develop a generic, highly precise static analysis of object-oriented code with multiple entry points, on which I construct an eective malware identification system with a human in the loop. Specically, I develop a new analysis-pushdown exception-ow analysis, to generalize the analysis of normal control flows and exceptional flows in object-oriented programs. To rene points-to information, I generalize abstract garbage collection to object-oriented programs and enhance it with liveness analysis for even better precision. To tackle Android-specic challenges, I develop multientry point saturation to approximate the eect of arbitrary asynchronous events. To apply the analysis techniques to security, I develop a static taint- ow analysis to track and propagate tainted sensitive data in the push-down exception-flow framework. To accelerate the speed of static analysis, I develop a compact and ecient encoding scheme, called G odel hashes, and integrate it into the analysis framework. All the techniques are realized and evaluated in a system, named AnaDroid. AnaDroid is designed with a human in the loop to specify analysis conguration, properties of interest and then to make the nal judgment and identify where the maliciousness is, based on analysis results. The analysis results include control- ow graphs highlighting suspiciousness, permission and risk-ranking reports. The experiments show that AnaDroid can lead to precise and fast identication of common classes of Android malware.

Investigation of the Schwartz, Parloff and Stephenson categorization of behavior of psychiatric nurses in nurse-patient interactions
Creators: name: Murphy, Elaine Parry
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Nursing Behavior

description: A categorization of the behavior of psychiatric nurses formulated by Charlotte Schwartz, William Stephenson and Morris B. Parloff was investigated as to its adequateness for classifying a selected sample of incidents of psychiatric nurse behavior.  The author proposed the hypothesis that additional categories would be needed in order to have a complete picture of the ongoing patterns of behavior in nurse-patient interactions.  The Schwartz categorization included interventions by the nurse aimed at meeting a patient's physical needs and promoting his physical well being, meeting the emotional needs of a patient, upholding social standards, both cultural and ward and noninterventions reflecting respect for the patient's autonomy and integrity or due to the nurse's aversion to or intolerance of a patient's behavior.  In the present study a category was provided for incidents not falling into the five Schwartz categories but no attempt was made to determine specifically what additional categories might be needed.  A review of literature failed to reveal any other research into the categorization of the behavior of psychiatric nurses although articles have been written which suggest 37 additional categories such as meeting the patient's social needs, giving information to the patient, managing and supervising the patient's environment and gathering data about the patient.  Some authors have cited examples of how the nurse may interact with a patient to meet her own needs, but no published study was found which indicated that categories of this particular nature have been used in classifying the actual behavior of nurses in nurse-patient interactions.  In carrying out this investigation it was necessary to find some criteria for delineating a nurse-patient incident. Exploration of the literature did not reveal any tool that could be used for this purpose; therefore, a pilot study was conducted in order to develop a means for delineating incidents. To answer the question, Are categories other than the five set forth by Schwartz, Stephenson, and Parloff necessary in order to have a more complete categorization of the behavior of psychiatric nurses as they interact with patients?", 273 incidents of behavior were delineated from nurse-patient interaction recordings made by graduate psychiatric nurses. Five Judges were asked to use the Schwartz, et al., categories labeled A, B, C, D, and E, and an additional category, labeled F, to classify these incidents.

A relational view of consumer social learning in virtual communities

description: Social learning is an important part of consumers' lives. A major limitation of previous research in consumer social learning is the lack of attention to the effects of relationships built among participants on the learning process in online communities. Within a thread in an online forum, when a post is made referring to a previous post, a connection is built between the posts, indicating the opportunity for the continuation of the learning process. We construct a conceptual framework of reference relationships in ongoing threads. We propose that four key constructs related to the reference  relationships between posts are associated with the continuation of the social learning process within threads, including engagement, sociality, advanced levels of learning, and existence and strength of ties between posters. We investigated 19 threads with 580 posts in a diabetes online community using both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Results provide substantial evidence that reference relationships in an ongoing thread are significantly positively associated with posters' engagement in the community and in the ongoing thread, advanced learning steps and sociality demonstrated in the content of posts in the ongoing thread, and ties in other threads. Our study suggests important implications for marketers in facilitating consumers' social learning process in online communities. Specifically, we suggest that by investigating posts made in reference relationships, marketers may identify the topics in which posters have interest and the influentials who disseminate and generate knowledge in online communities.
“Message Queens”: Aids Protest Literature, the Gay Community and Writing as a Political Act

description: The explosion of the AIDS epidemic in the early Eighties, and the subsequent position the gay community found itself in, brought the need for writers to become politically engaged. The protest against the institutions took different forms and activism was interpreted differently from different authors. Larry Kramer was very political and attacked both the government and the gay community, David Feinberg was aggressive but preferred humor as a weapon to protest, while Sarah Schulman chose a purer form of fiction and alongside the epidemic narrated the protests and the process of gentrification in the Village area. All these literary texts, and many more, have contributed to save and shape both gay culture and the gay community.

Kinetic study of coal extraction by tetralin with ultrasonic irradiation

Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Ultrasonics

description: This investigation was concerned with the kinetics of coal extraction  by 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (tetralin) under the influence of  ultrasonic waves.  The coal used in this study was obtained from the working face of  the Utah Spring Canyon Mine. The extraction of coal has been carried out  at five different temperatures: 24° G, 29°C, 34*C, 44°C, and 54°C. At  each of these temperatures the yield of extract increases rapidly in the  early stages of extraction, levels off later to approach an asymptotic  value. Analysis of the data from this study showed that a modified firstorder  rate equation best describes the kinetics of the extraction process.  In this study on the solvent extraction of coal, the enthalpy of  activation (6.0 kcal/mole) was found to remain constant throughout the  extraction process. However, an increase in free energy of activation  ) that was observed is accounted for by a decrease in entropy of  activation. The values of free energy of activation were found to be  24»5 kcal/mole during the early stages of the extraction process and  25.1 kcal/mole near the end of the extraction process.  An experiment was conducted to see if tetralin undergoes decomposition  when subjected to ultrasonic irradiation for 20 hours. The results  show that no significant decomposition of tetralin occurs during the  first 15 hours under ultrasonic irradiation and less than one percent of  the tetralin was found to be decomposed at the end of 20 hours.

description: This essay examines The Light and the Glory, From Sea to Shining Sea, and Sounding Forth the Trumpet—a trilogy of historical narratives written by Peter Marshall and David Manuel—to elucidate their rhetorical structures. Special attention is given to the way the narratives adhere to the structure of the American jeremiad as defined by Sacvan Bercovitch and how they are informed by apocalyptic providentialism as defined by Nicholas Guyatt. Revealing the narrative structures allows us to see how the authors merge God’s salvation history with the secular history of the United States and, thereby, treat American history as sacred. By understanding historical narratives such as the ones constructed by Marshall and Manuel, we can better understand how a large portion of the United States population understands themselves and their nation’s role in history.

Maximal independent set
Multigrid

description: The algebraic multigrid (AMG) method is often used as a preconditioner in Krylov subspace solvers such as the conjugate gradient method. An AMG preconditioner hierarchically aggregates the degrees of freedom during the coarsening phase in order to eciently account for lower-frequency errors. Each degree of freedom in the coarser level corresponds to one of the aggregates in the ner level. The aggregation in each level in the hierarchy has a signicant impact on the eectiveness of AMG as a preconditioner. The aggregation can be formulated as a partitioning problem on the graph induced from the matrix representation of a linear system. The contributions of this work are as follows: rst, a GPU implementation of a \bottom-up" partitioning scheme based on maximal independent sets (MIS), including an ecient conditioning scheme for enforcing partition size constraints; second, three novel topological metrics, convexity, eccentricity, and minimum enclosing ball, for measuring partition quality; third, empirical test results comparing our MIS-Based aggregation methods with the MeTis graph partioning library, showing that the metrics correlate more strongly with AMG performance than the commonly used edge-cut metric, and that for ner aggregations, MIS-based aggregation is better suited for AMG coarsening than is the \top down" MeTis graph partitioning library, but that for coarser aggregations, MeTis performs better.
“To Work Black Magic”: Richard Bruce Nugent’s Queer Transnational Insurgency
Creators: name: Tracy, Ryan
Publisher: name:  JAm It! (Journal of American Studies in Italy)
Year: 2019

description: Within the Harlem Renaissance’s politically charged climate, a discourse of anti-decadence emerged to police the boundaries of racial solidarity and to ward off the public specter of flamboyant homosexuality associated with European aestheticism. However, self-styled bohemian Richard Bruce Nugent (1906-1987) stubbornly embraced literary decadence and aestheticism, illuminating the ways that blackness and homosexuality possessed the power to deconstruct American national identity in distinct yet overlapping ways. For Nugent, blackness and homosexuality each had the power to rework fraternal relations between men that nationalist ideologies defined as inherently belligerent. Nugent’s decadence comes specifically to bear on the global-historical relationship between Italy and Africa, echoed in both the Ethiopian Crisis and the sometimes tense relations between African- and Italian-American men in the lead-up to World War II. In his largely overlooked short story, “Pope Pius the Only” (1937), Nugent responds to fascist Italy’s invasion of the sovereign African kingdom of Ethiopia with “black magic,” toppling categorical hierarchies and undoing global white nationalisms from within by putting blackness, homoeroticism, and literary decadence “to work.”

description: Group homes have been an important option for people with intellectual disabilities leaving the family home or institutions. They were one focus of the Royal Commission on Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disabilities. Much evidence was collected about harm experienced by people in group homes through submissions, and dedicated and other hearings about disability services more generally. In its Final Report the Commission considered group homes to be both a flawed model and subject to weak implementation similar to that identified across the Australian disability service system more generally. This article describes the Commission’s approach to group homes, the evidence heard, and its conclusions; and critiques its stance, processes, and recommendations, identifying links to the NDIS Review published after the Commission’s Report in 2023. The Commission’s recommended reforms to practice, and replacement of group homes with alternative options reflect current policy directions, but raise issues that will be important for implementation; including; uncertainty about alternatives to group homes, the risk of alternatives not having better outcomes and thus the loss of good services, risk of neglecting quality of support practice in new alternatives and recurrence of institutional practice in them, and potential negative impacts on existing residents of signalling group homes as a flawed model. The Commissions’ approach missed opportunities for appreciative enquiry about conditions that lead to good outcomes in some group homes. The article concludes by considering the benefits for people with intellectual disabilities of singling out long-term residents and people with complex or high support needs, together with the potential for a quicker pace of change that may result from the Commission’s work.
Darkest Italy Revisited: American Hyper-Nationalism and the Making of the “Criminal Immigrant”. From the Age of Thomas Jefferson to the Rise of Donald J. Trump, 1776-2018

description: Since taking the oath of office in January 2017, the controversies surrounding President Trump’s stance on immigration and the U.S.-Mexico border continue to make headlines and change lives. At stake in contemporary debates about Mexican immigration to the US are fundamental questions about American national identity and the United States’ role in the wider world: What is an American? Who can become one and how? As it turns out, xenophobia, hyper nationalism and charges of foreign criminality constitute a tradition in US politics that is as old as the republic- and as American as apple pie. Nowhere is this more evident than in the history of Southern Italian immigration to the United States prior to 1924. Tracing Americans’ ideas about Italians’ “national character” from 1776- 1865, this paper examines the perceptions and debates that defined American encounters with the first immigrants identified as a “criminal group” inside the United States: Italians. Comparing the views of critics and defenders of Italian’s alleged criminality alike, including Presidents Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson, as well as novelists Washington Irving, Henry T. Tuckerman and Theodore Dwight, my work shows that a spectrum of opinion about Italy and the “Italian character” existed in the United States before the Civil war and that these ideas left a lasting legacy with measurable effects on American culture, foreign policy and immigration law through 1924. The essay concludes by reflecting on contemporary debates about immigration policy, the US-Mexico border and Trump-era discourse on the “character” of Mexicans and Mexican-Americans against the backdrop of Italian immigration to America in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Digital Windows: cause + effect between reality + virtuality

Subjects: Space (Architecture)

description: Digital Windows allow real people in the real world to interact with virtual objects in a virtual world through a direct relationship between real-space and digital-space. Actions in the real world are affected by re-actions in  the virtual world.   As a Master's thesis Project, the scope of Digital Windows is that of a prototype for a larger vision. This vision suggests the potential for Digital Windows to be a group of input/output nodes (located in separate, yet related places) that allow physically distant by-passers to interact with each other. It will take a pause at a node to see it as more than something hanging on a wall; and, several pauses to understand the interaction with people at the other nodes. This, in essence, becomes a progressive discovery with each by-pass that results in a pause. Environmental psychology might associate this process of discovery with arousal (physiological reactions).  Arousal fluctuates directly with the complexity of what is going on. One way to keep things simple for bypassers is to treat them as by-passers, and require nothing of them. As windows allow us to see specific parts of other places; the content of this  project is a virtual space ‘between' some real spaces. The real spaces at each node have unique points-of-view into the shared virtual space, through respective digital windows. Objects in the virtual space are the  devices of a cause and effect interaction between the real world and the digital world.

Evaluation of informatics methods for public health surveillance of adverse drug events

Public Health Surveillance

description: Many public health entities maintain clinical data repositories useful for assessing the harm caused by adverse drug events (ADEs). In Utah, the state government has databases containing claims data for emergency department visits; claims data for inpatient visits; death certificates; medical examiner records; and controlled substance prescription records. These data are promising sources for surveillance of ADEs because of their ubiquity and standardized encoding, though they have limitations including restricted clinical content and lack of integration. To assess the value of these repositories for ADE surveillance in the public health context, the utility of three data source approaches was examined: a single data source; multiple, unlinked data sources; and multiple, linked data sources.  Evaluation of a single data source ADE surveillance approach was conducted using inpatient claims data to monitor harm due to anesthesia drugs. The results demonstrate suboptimal performance; notably, very low sensitivity and tendency to identify ADEs not directly related to anesthesia agents. Multiple, unlinked data repositories were used to examine trends in methadone prescriptions for pain and associated ADEs. Emergency room visits, death certificates, and medical examiner cases showed a consistent trend of increasing morbidity and mortality as methadone prescription rates increased. The correlation of multiple independent data sources is important evidence, but the study was ecologic and additional work was necessary to further characterize methadone-related harm. A multiple, linked data source strategy was used to further investigate the ecologic results. Using probabilistic and deterministic record matching techniques, prescription records and death certificate data were linked into longitudinal patient histories. The linked data set was used to characterize deaths due to methadone, including quantification of prescription recipients, prescriber practice patterns, and decedent characteristics. Although linking several data repositories requires greater technical expertise, the results show that multiple, linked data sources offer a powerful means to conduct ADE surveillance.  The lack of integration and restricted clinical detail of public health data is a concern for ADE surveillance. However, with appropriate use of informatics methodologies, surveillance for ADEs is satisfactory for public health assessment and intervention needs.

The influence of noncircular chainrings on maximal and submaximal cycling performance

description: Most cycling power is produced during leg extension with minimal power production occuring during the transition between the extension-flexion phases. A prolonged leg extension phase and reduced transition phase could increase cycling power by allowing muscles to generate power for a greater portion of the cycle. Noncircular chainrings have been designed to prolong the time spent in the powerful leg extension phase by varying crank angular velocity within the pedal cycle. The purposes of this dissertation were to evaluate the extent to which noncircular chainrings influence power, biomechanics, and metabolic cost during maximal and submaximal cycling. In the first study, I investigated the effects of chainring eccentricity (C = 1.0, R = 1.13, O = 1.24) on maximum cycling power (Pmax) and optimal pedaling rate (RPMopt). Chainring eccentricity did not influence Pmax and RPMopt. Despite reasonable theory regarding a prolonged leg extension phase and reduced transition phase, chainring eccentricity did not influence Pmax and RPMopt during maximal cycling. In the second study, I evaluated the influence of noncircular chainrings on joint-specific kinematics and power production during maximal cycling. Ankle angular velocity was significantly reduced (-13±12% and -37±13% at 90 and 120 rpm, respectively) with the O chainring, whereas knee and hip angular velocities were unaffected during the leg extension phase. Further, joint-specific power production was unaffected by chainring eccentricity. These results demonstrate that redundant degrees of freedom (DOF) in the cycling action (i.e., ankle angle) allowed cyclists to negate the effects of eccentricity and maintain their preferred hip and knee actions. In my third study, I evaluated the extent to which chainring eccentricity influenced metabolic cost and biomechanics of submaximal cycling. My study protocol allowed for separate analysis of eccentricity and pedal speed (known to influence metabolic cost). Chainring eccentricity with similarly matched pedal speeds reduced knee (-10%) and hip (-5%) angular velocities, while metabolic cost and cycling efficiency remained unaffected. Despite small but significant alterations in joint-specific kinematics, chainring eccentricity did not influence metabolic cost or cycling efficiency during submaximal cycling. Taken together, these results indicate that commercially available noncircular chainrings do not provide performance benefits over conventional circular chainrings during maximal and submaximal cycling.
