A comparison of artificial turf.
BACKGROUND In an attempt to decrease injuries, newer forms of artificial turf have been marketed. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a new shredded rubber-based turf improves impact attenuation. METHODS An instrumented computerized impact recording device (IRD, Techmark, Lansing, MI) was dropped 20 times from a height of 48 inches onto five types of turf used by a professional...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Tape
In this paper, we analyzed the performance of various robotically-accessed tape libraries for supercomputing workloads. We used an event-driven simulator to conduct the performance analysis, and we considered the workloads at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA). The simulation results showed that tape libraries with ...
