The Use of Recovery Strategies in Professional Soccer: A Worldwide Survey
(
Human Kinetics Publishers Inc.
, 2021 , Article)
Purpose: To survey soccer practitioners’ recovery strategy: (1) use, (2) perceived effectiveness, and (3) factors influencing their implementation in professional soccer. Methods: A cross-sectional convenience sample of ...
Modeling and optimization of biogas production from a waste digester using artificial neural network and genetic algorithm
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2009 , Article)
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) and genetic algorithms (GA) are considered among the latest tools that are used to solve complicated problems that cannot be solved by conventional solutions. The present study utilizes ...
A Property Based Approach for Simultaneous Process and Molecular Design
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2009 , Article)
In this work, property clustering techniques and group contribution methods are combined to enable simultaneous consideration of process performance requirements and molecular property constraints. Using this methodology, ...
Additional clothing increases heat load in elite female Rugby sevens players
(
Human Kinetics Publishers Inc.
, 2021 , Article)
Purpose: To determine whether elite female rugby sevens players are exposed to core temperatures (Tc) during training in the heat that replicate the temperate match demands previously reported and to investigate whether ...
Limiting Rise in Heat Load With an Ice Vest During Elite Female Rugby Sevens Warm-Ups
(
Human Kinetics Publishers Inc.
, 2021 , Article)
Purpose: To determine the effect of wearing a phase-change cooling vest in elite female rugby sevens athletes during (1) a simulated match-day warm-up in hot conditions prior to a training session and (2) a prematch warm-up ...
Changes in core temperature during an elite female rugby sevens tournament
(
Human Kinetics Publishers Inc.
, 2020 , Article)
Purpose: To characterize player core temperature (Tc) across a World Rugby Women's Sevens Series tournament day (WRWSS) and determine the efficacy of commonly employed cold-water-immersion (CWI) protocols. Methods: Tc was ...
Optimization of Viscoelastic Metamaterials for Vibration Attenuation Properties
(
World Scientific
, 2020 , Article)
Metamaterials (MMs) are composites that are artificially engineered to have unconventional mechanical properties that stem from their microstructural geometry rather than from their chemical composition. Several studies ...
Investigating the effect of using softer rail-pads on ground-borne vibration from underground railways
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2023 , Article)
In this study, a series of vibration measurements were performed on a section of one of the lines of the Doha Metro to explore the effect of changing rail-pads from conventional higher stiffness under-rail pads to lower ...
Fault classification using convolutional neural networks and color channels for time-frequency analysis of acoustic emissions
(
SAGE Publications Inc.
, 2023 , Article)
We present a novel method for real-time fault classification using the time history of acoustic emissions (AEs) recorded from a lab-scale gas turbine operating under normal and faulty conditions across multiple turbine ...
Using probabilistic neural networks for modeling metal fatigue and random vibration in process pipework
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2022 , Article)
Many experiments are usually needed to quantify probabilistic fatigue behavior in metals. Previous attempts used separate artificial neural network (ANN) to calculate different probabilistic ranges which can be computationally ...
