Developing a Research Agenda through Pitching

Developing a Research Agenda for the Analysis of Product Supply: A Response to the Recent Commentaries

Pelvis and torso kinematics and their relationship to shoulder kinematics in high-school baseball pitchers.

It was the purpose of our study to examine the kinematics of the pelvis and torso and determine their relationship to the kinematics of the shoulder in high-school baseball pitchers. A single group, repeated-measures design was used to collect pelvis, torso, and shoulder kinematics throughout the pitching motion. Subjects threw a series of maximal effort fastballs to a catcher located the regul...

Final Report Ncgia Research Initiative 4 Use and Value of Geographic Information

This report describes the results of NCGIA Research Initiative 4 on Use and Value of Geographic Information. It begins with a discussion of objectives and the process of developing a research agenda. The initiative was active during the period May 1989 through the summer of 1991, although the final wrap-up meeting was not held until April 1992. Since that time, research activities have continue...

Effect of Amplitude and Mean Angle of Attack on the Unsteady Surface Pressure of a Pitching Airfoil

Details of pressure distributions, on a two dimensional airfoil oscillating in pitch through stall, in a 0.8 0.8 m low-speed wind tunnel are presented. Pitching occurred about the airfoils quarter-chord axis. Pitch rate, Reynolds number, and oscillation amplitudes were varied to determine the effects on pressure and lift distributions. It was found that mean angle of attack and pitching amplitu...

An agenda for increasing grant funding of emergency medicine education research.

Funding is a perennial challenge for medical education researchers. Through a consensus process, the authors developed a multifaceted agenda for increasing funding of education research in emergency medicine (EM). Priority agenda items include developing resources to increase the competitiveness of medical education research faculty in grant applications, identifying means by which departments ...
