In order to fully examine the breadth of possibility in sports data analysis, we look at two areas of differing scope. The first is scalable and generalizable, exploring the expected performance of athletes in track and field events by means of a datacentric model. It takes Athletic.net data using an in-house web scraper and fits past results against a corpus in order to predict future results ...

Using channeling in a 5-mm crystal with bending angle of 0.65 mrad, a record high efficiency, over 60%, of particle extraction from accelerator was achieved. The extracted beam intensity was up to 5.2×10 11 protons per spill of ∼0.5 s duration. Also, the first proof-of-principle experiment on 'crystal collimation' was performed where crystal-serving as a scraper-has reduced the radiation level ...

Identifi cation of novel Hsp65 RFLPs for Mycobacterium leprae. To the Editor: Tongue scraping is advocated as a therapy for managing halitosis and as a technique for preventing dental caries by reducing bacterial counts in the mouth (1). The practice has been in existence for centuries (2). A Cochrane review has concluded that tongue cleaning is marginally and temporarily more effective than us...

Properly evaluating the overall performance of tubular scraper conveyors (TSCs) can increase their overall efficiency and reduce economic investments, but such methods have rarely been studied. This study evaluated the overall performance of TSCs based on the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). Three conveyors of the same type produced in the same factory...
