Background: This study aimed to examine the reliability and sensitivity of a change of direction deficit (CoDD) and to establish its relationship with linear sprint speed.Methods: In total, 89 prepubertal male soccer players participated in this study (age = 11.7 ± 1.2 years, maturity offset = −2.4 ± 1.0).Participants performed the 505 CoD spee
Abstract Background Infectious gastroenteritis is common in the emergency department (ED).Patients infected with either Norovirus or toxigenic Clostridium difficile require special isolation procedures.The aims were to describe the aetiology of infectious gastroenteritis in the ED, evaluate whether current isolation procedures, based on clinical ju
Spot markets provide an interesting opportunity for profit maximization by energy trading based on immediate decisions on participant bids.However, their short market-clearing time can affect computational efficiency, search space, and reliability of price-energy allocation to bidding participants.Accordingly, developing a prompt and effective Ankl
A ubiquitous pattern in ecological systems is that more abundant species tend to be more generalist; that is, they interact with more species or can occur in wider range of habitats.However, there is no consensus on whether generalism drives abundance (a selection process) or abundance drives Exterior Door Assembly Components generalism (a drift pr
Electroslag remelting (ESR) is an effective method for removing nonmetallic inclusions from steels or alloys.The main stage of inclusion removal during ESR is the aggregation of Priming Tools liquid metal film (LMF) to form droplets at the consumable electrode tip.In this study, a lab-level ESR experiment was carried out.The number and size of incl
