Rapidly deployable and effective methods are needed to contain free-ranging deer (Odocoileus spp.) during acute disease outbreaks. We evaluated efficacy of a 2.1-m-tall polypropylene mesh (poly-mesh) fence for containing L 15 free-ranging white-tailed deer (O. virginianus) within a 42-ha area in eastern Nebraska, USA. We observed a 99% decrease in deer leaving the enclosure area after we instal...

The aim of this study is to determine the effect that uncertainty, in relation to the probability of error, exerts on the reaction response and speed during the lunge in fencing. The participants were 18 regional-level fencers with over five years' experience. Force platforms under the feet recorded the horizontal components of the reaction forces, from which the kinematic parameters of the cen...

Fencing has been an interesting sport for decades. Modern fencing is a that tests competitor's skills, reflexes, and mental fortitude, among other abilities. In this work, analytical model to predict player's proficiency in proposed. A score linearly dependent on the arm length, leg agility, speed reaction speed. To realized model, at least 6 players' data must be collected. When there are more...

This paper evaluates the joint impact of exclusive channels and revenue sharing on suppliers and retailers in a hybrid duopoly common retailer and exclusive channel model. The model bridges the gap in the literature on hybrid multichannel supply chains with bilateral complementary products and services with/without revenue sharing. The analysis indicates that, without revenue sharing, the suppl...

A 2-year study was undertaken to assess the effectivenesS of Max-Flex Fast Fence electric fencing materials (polytape) for reducing damage to crops. Specifically, our goal was to look at the efficacy of this product for the borne gardener. In the first phase of the project, plots of approximately 1/40 acre were established in areas of historically high deer densitieS. Each plot was planted with...
