Biomechanical analysis of three tennis serve types using a markerless system

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Purpose The tennis serve is commonly associated with musculoskeletal injury. Advanced players are able to hit multiple serve types with different types of spin. No investigation has characterised the kinematics of all three serve types for the upper extremity and back. Methods Seven NCAA Division I male tennis players performed three successful flat, kick and slice serves. Serves were recorded using an eight camera markerless motion capture system. Laser scanning was utilised to accurately collect body dimensions and data were computed using inverse kinematic methods. Results There was no significant difference in maximum back extension angle for the flat, kick or slice serves. The kick serve had a higher force magnitude at the back than the flat and slice as well as larger posteriorly directed shoulder forces. The flat serve had significantly greater maximum shoulder internal rotation velocity versus the slice serve. Force and torque magnitudes at the elbow and wrist were not significantly different between the serves. Conclusions The kick serve places higher physical demands on the back and shoulder while the slice serve demonstrated lower overall kinetic forces. This information may have injury prevention and rehabilitation implications.
General Considerations on the System of the Universe—Shape of our Firmament

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

I have been induced to make the brief series of letters addressed to you, thus public, because of a regret which, I believe, is widely felt, that the discoveries made in recent years, throwing most unexpected light upon the constitution—present and remote—of the Stellar Universe, should longer continue comparatively unknown, and concealed amid the varied and massive collections of our 'Learned Societies. Unfortunately, I am not at present in a condition to bestow on these discoveries a shadow of original interest, so that, in description, my pen can have only a borrowed liveliness; but as the illustrious men who share the glory of having achieved such acquisitions for mankind, have, not unequivocally, shown a disinclination to the humbler task of reducing them into a popular system, we have only the choice of consenting, that matter of unusual importance shall remain unfitted to fulfil the best purpose of truth—which is to instruct and elevate the general mind—or to permit the work to be attempted by some one with pretensions no higher than my own.

PSXIII-B-15 Late Weaning Improves Growth and Reduces the Breeding age in Alpine Dairy Goats

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract The aim was to evaluate the effect of weaning age on growth in Alpine dairy goats. Thirty-six female kids were randomly assigned to one of 3 treatments: 1) early weaning at 6 wk of age (6-wk), 2) weaning at 8 wk of age (8-wk), and 3) late weaning at 10 wk of age (10-wk). Treatments were blocked by BW and birth date, and each female kid was housed with a male companion of similar age and BW. Kids had ad libitum access to acidified milk replacer (ME=4.7 Mcal/kg DM), kid starter (ME=2.35 Mcal/kg DM), hay (ME=1.26 Mcal/kg DM) and water. Weaning was performed progressively over 7 d. For the 12 wk period, feed intakes for 6-wk, 8-wk and 10-wk were respectively: 135, 201 and 287 g/d for milk replacer; 90, 68, 54 g/d for hay; 25, 19 and 13 g/d for starter feed. Total ME intake was higher when increasing weaning age (6-wk, 281 kcal/d; 8-wk, 303 kcal/d; 10-wk, 371 kcal/d, P&lt; 0.05). Interestingly, at weaning, total ME intake dropped more markedly when weaning was early (6-wk, 95 kcal/d; 8-wk, 297 kcal/d; 10-wk, 451 kcal/d, P&lt; 0.05). 10-wk had higher BW at 12 wk of age (23.9 kg), compared with 6-wk (21.2 kg, P=0.004), and a trend was observed with 8-wk (22.2 kg, P=0.059). This effect of weaning age on BW was prolonged over time with heavier BW in 10-wk at 8 months (36.1 kg), compared to 6-wk (33.6 kg, P=0.04), and a trend was observed with 8-wk (34.0 kg). Using growth curves, extending the weaning age of dairy goats allowed to reach the breeding BW target of 32 kg sooner (6-wk, 191 d; 8-wk, 188 d; 10-wk, 161 d, P&lt; 0.05). Overall, weaning kids at 10 wk limited the negative impact of earlier weaning on growth in the Alpine breed.
Recruiting Low-Income African American Men in Mental Health Research: A Community-Based Participatory Research Feasibility Study

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

African Americans (AAs) are 20% more likely to develop serious psychological distress compared to Whites but are less likely to use mental health services. The study objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of recruitment strategies to engage AA fathers in a mental health intervention. Using the community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach, a community-academic partnership (CAP) developed and implemented direct and indirect referral strategies to engage AA fathers in a mental health intervention. Direct referral strategies focused on community partner identification of potentially eligible participants, providing information about the study (i.e., study flyer), and referring potential participants to the study. Indirect referrals included posting flyers in local businesses frequented by AA men, radio advertisements, and social media posts from community organizations. From January to October 2019, 50 direct and 1388 indirect referrals were documented, yielding 24 participants screened and 15 enrolled. Of all participants screened, 58% were referred through indirect referral, 38% were referred directly by community partners, and 4% of the participants were referred through both direct and indirect referrals. Twenty percent of those exposed to the direct referral methods and 1% of those exposed to the indirect referral methods were enrolled. The indirect referrals accounted for 60% of enrollment, whereas the direct referrals accounted for 33.3% of enrollment. Collaborating with the community partners to engage hard-to-reach populations in mental health studies allowed for broad dissemination of recruitment methods, but still resulted in low participant accrual. Additional focus on increasing direct referral methods appears to be a fruitful area of CBPR.
Simulation-based evaluation system for man-machine interfaces in nuclear power plants

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The authors have developed the SEAMAID system which is a simulation-based evaluation and analysis support system for man-machine interface design in the domain of nuclear power plants. The SEAMAID system simulates the interaction between an operator and man machine interfaces (MMI), and supports the evaluation of the MMI by using the simulation results. The operator simulator in the SEAMAID system copes with a single abnormal event, according to the operation manuals. The Interaction Analyzer (IA) evaluates the simulation results executed by integrating the operator simulator, the man-machine-interface (MMI) simulator, and the plant simulator. The authors expanded SEAMAID in two features: realization of flexible modification/addition/deletion of evaluation items and consideration of various kinds of guidelines of a human interface by representing the items as frames; and a human model of detecting and diagnosing plant anomaly followed by a sequence of reactions. In this paper, MMI evaluation using the integrated simulation of plant, MMI and operator are discussed. Especially focusing on the MMI evaluation process of SEAMAID, the frame structure is proposed for handling various guidelines and evaluation indices, and providing appropriate guideline to an analyst or a designer.
Simulation Investigations of the Effect of a Supporting Structure Defect on the Dynamic State of the Rotor Supported on Slide Bearings

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The present article reports an attempt to assess the effect of the defect having the form of supporting structure fracture on the dynamic state of the rotor supported on slide bearings. The investigations were conducted on an experimentally verified numerical model of a selected large-dimension rotating machine. Within the framework of the investigations, selected cases of a defect localised in the region of one of bearing supports were analysed. The applied method of calculations comprised two basic stages. The first stage consisted in determining complex flexibility characteristics of the supporting structure at the rotor foundation place. In the second stage the obtained flexibility characteristics, after transformation to real matrices of stiffness, damping, and apparent masses, were used for determining parameters of rotor motion. As a result of the calculations, characteristics were obtained that provide opportunities for assessing the effects of the examined defects on rotor vibrations within a wide range of rotational speeds.
‘The Cushy Number’: Civilian Men in British Post-war Representations of the Second World War

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Using a broad range of filmic and televisual representations this chapter argues that the civilian man has been much maligned in post-war culture. Instead the often necessary roles played by millions of civilian men have been effectively written out of Britain's wartime story despite their centrality to both victory and survival. It is often emphasised that a military uniform was the only acceptable way to be a man in this period. Those out of uniform are left open to jibes and scorn, often shown to be army-dodging crooks and would-be wife stealers rather than vital cogs in pursuing a course of total warfare. Moreover, the civilian man is often a focus of ridicule, the butt of the joke and, therefore, far from a masculine figure.

Three (3) research objectives, research questions, and null hypotheses guided this study. Materials/methods. This study employed a descriptive survey design. The study population comprised Civic Education teachers in public senior secondary schools across the three Senatorial Districts of Kaduna State, Nigeria. A sample size of four hundred (400) was selected using sampling techniques. The research supervisors validated the instrument, and a reliability coefficient of .82 was obtained. The mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions, and the t-test was used to test the null hypotheses. Results. The study revealed no significant difference in teachers' opinions regarding the objectives of using assessment techniques in the teaching of Civic Education in senior secondary schools. In addition, no significant difference was found in the assessment techniques used, nor in the challenges teachers face when using these techniques for teaching Civic Education in senior secondary schools. Based on the findings, it was recommended, among others, that the Kaduna State Ministry of Education and other stakeholders in the sector should organize workshops and seminars for teachers to update their knowledge on the use of learners' assessment techniques for improving the teaching of Civic Education at the senior secondary school level in the state. Conclusion. Government, Non-governmental Organizations, and other international partners in education development, such as ESSPIN, JAICA, UKAIDS, and UNICEF, should organize an update course for Civic Education teachers to improve their skills in using learners' assessment techniques at the senior secondary school level in Kaduna State.
Molecular Cloning of Two New Interferon-induced, Highly Related Nuclear Phosphoproteins*

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

During the molecular cloning of the human dsRNA activated-p68 kinase (PKR), polyclonal antibodies against PKR selected, in addition to cDNAs corre-sponding to PKR, another cDNA presenting only slight homology with PKR cDNA. This cDNA recognized an mRNA species of 2 kilobases induced by both a-and y-interferons. Its transcription did not require protein synthesis. On further library screening, it selected two highly related cDNAs, referred to as 75 and 41, dis-playing perfect homology over 612 base pairs and di-vergent at both ends. In addition, cDNA 75 presents an insertion of 150 base pairs highly homologous to a region common to both sequences. The 75 and 41 pep-tidic sequences are very hydrophilic, rich in basic amino acid residues, and contain several potential

IDDF2019-ABS-0326 Evaluation of the effects of the hydroalcoholic extract of liv.52 DS on paracetamol induced liver toxicity and oxidative stress in rats

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Background

Oxidative stress induced by toxicants is known to cause various complications in the liver. Herbal drug such as Liv.52 is found to have a hepatoprotective effect. However, the biochemical mechanism involved in the Liv.52 DS mediated protection against toxicity is not well elucidated using suitable in vivo models. Paracetamol causes oxidative stress and dysfunction of the liver. This study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of the hydroalcoholic extract of Liv.52 DS on some biochemical and histopathological parameters of liver tissue in against paracetamol-induced hepatic damage in rats.

Methods

Wistar rats were orally administered with 2 g/kg body weight Paracetamol. Vehicle (distilled water) and silymarin (50 mg/kg body weight) was used as the negative and positive control groups, respectively. Paracetamol-administered groups were treated with Liv 52 DS extract (100, 200, and 400 mg/kg). After 15 days of treatment, the blood specimens and liver samples were examined. Alteration in the levels of biochemical markers of hepatic damage like AST, ALT, ALP and lipid peroxides were tested, and phytochemical tests were also performed.

Results

In Paracetamol-treated group, the levels of serum urea, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and liver superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and vitamin C significantly decreased (p<0.05) compared to control. Also, in this group, serum triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL), protein carbonyl (PC), malondialdehyde, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and TNF-α gene expression significantly increased (p<0.05) as compared to the control (vehicle-treated rats). Treatment with Liv. 52 DS extract in a significant increase (p<0.05) in CAT, SOD, vitamin C, HDL and a significant decrease (p<0.05) in the level of urea, MDA, PC, TG, TC, VLDL, TNF-α protein, and the gene expression of TNF-α compared with the test without treatment group. Histopathological evidence demonstrated that treatment with Liv.52 DS extract could decrease liver lymphocyte infiltration.

Conclusions

The present study suggests that Liv. 52 DS extract possesses hepatoprotective activity. It could be an effective and promising preventive agent against Paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity.
