Abstract:
Background: For control and effective management of training process in women’s 100-m hurdles event, the coaches, in addition to detailed biomechanical parameters, need also overall, more comprehensive technical parameters, called direct performance descriptors which are used for planning the distribution of an athlete’s efforts over the race. Purpose: The aim of this study was the investigation of the race behavior of elite women sprint hurdlers, on the basis of selected time parameters, and the examination of the existence of a common race pattern in high level hurdle performance. Method: The time data of the race performance between two consecutive Olympic Games were compared. The analyzing subjects consisted of all women 100-m hurdle finalists in Athens 2004 (n = 6) and all women 100-m hurdle finalists (n = 8) and semi-finalists (n = 14) in Beijing 2008. Results: No significant differences were revealed between the two competitions concerning to the means of approach run time, run-in time, intermediate touchdown times, interval times for the hurdle units and the corresponding average velocities. Significant relationship exists between the intermediate times and final performance. The time contribution of the first half of the race to the formation of the final performance is approximately equal to the second one and, generally the standardised time parameters show the existence of a common race pattern in high level hurdle performance. Conclusion: The presented biomechanical data provide coaches and athletes with valuable information about hurdle technique for effective interventions in the training process.

Abstract:
The aims of this study were to compare the five hurdle-unit split times from the deterministic model with the hurdle-to-hurdle model and with the official time, to compare the step kinematics of each hurdle-unit intervals, and to relate these variables to their respective hurdle-unit split times. The temporal and spatial parameters of the 60 m hurdles race were calculated during the 44th Spanish and 12th IAAF World Indoor Championships (men: n = 59; women: n = 51). The hurdle-unit split times from the deterministic model showed a high correlation (r = 0.99; p < 0.001) with the split times of the hurdle-to-hurdle model and faster split times were related to shorter step and flight times in hurdle steps for both genders. At the first hurdle, male athletes tended to increase their flight and contact times while the tendency of female athletes was to decrease their contact and flight times. In addition, at the first hurdle, both genders presented shorter take-off distance, shorter landing distance, and greater step width than in the remaining hurdles of the race. Therefore, coaches should implement training programs that have an impact on these key variables according to the specific demands of each hurdle-unit phase and gender.

Abstract:
The recent paper “Hurdle Clearance Detection and Spatiotemporal Analysis in 400 Meters Hurdles Races Using Shoe-Mounted Magnetic and Inertial Sensor” (Sensors 2020, 20, 354) proposes a wearable system based on a foot-worn miniature inertial measurement unit (MIMU) and different methods to detect hurdle clearance and to identify the leading leg during 400-m hurdle races. Furthermore, the presented system identifies changes in contact time, flight time, running speed, and step frequency throughout the race. In this comment, we discuss the original paper with a focus on the ecological validity and the applicability of MIMU systems for field-based settings, such as training or competition for elite athletes.

Abstract:
Abstract This research aims to clarify the stride adjustment in the approach of the 400‐m hurdles, and to examine the relationship with 400‐m hurdle performance. Seven male 400‐m hurdlers volunteered for this study. Participants ran three times from the start to the second hurdle. The standard deviation of toe‐hurdle distance and standard deviation of stride length at each step from the start to the first hurdle were calculated. The maximum value of the standard deviation of toe‐hurdle distance was defined as the position at which the athlete starts stride adjustment. The relationships between each variable, 400‐m hurdle personal best, and the ratio of 400‐m hurdle personal best and 400‐m running personal best (400 m/400‐m hurdles) were examined. Results concluded that standard deviation of toe‐hurdle distance gradually increased after the start, reached the maximum value in the latter half of the approach section, and then decreased until the takeoff. Standard deviation of stride length increased significantly from 4 steps before the takeoff. From these trends, it was suggested that athletes seemed to start stride adjustment from the middle stage to the latter half of the approach by sensing stride error accumulation in the middle of the approach. The strides immediately before the takeoff were markedly involved in stride adjustment. Furthermore, the stride adjustment technique to reduce maximum accumulation error of stride evaluated in the approach section was considered associated with the smooth running of the entire 400‐m hurdle race.

Abstract:
Abstract The final result in a 400 m hurdles race (400mH) is relative to the motor preparation, technique of clearing hurdles as well as the adopted strategy of the race, including temporal aspects (split times in particular parts of the race) and spatial elements (the number of strides taken between subsequent hurdles). The objective of the study was to identify an optimal strategy for the 400mH race, including the stride pattern and split times. Data employed for this study were derived from results of 273 races held during the men’s finals of international events (Olympic Games, World and European Championships) held from 1968 to 2015. To determine the strategies in the race, three main hurdle sections were identified – 1-4H, 4-7H and 7-10H. In each part, the fast (best results), average and slow (worst results) performing groups of hurdlers were distinguished. The analysis of adopted strategies was carried out taking into account 26 variables (main, basic, temporal and spatial). Basic statistical data, correlations and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used. Results highlight the use of a variety of strategies, of which selection depends, among others, on body composition and the level of motor abilities (speed, speed endurance and explosive strength), as well as hurdling technique. Especially, the endurance strategy appears to be the most effective one, as it is a characteristic of best performances of many hurdlers. The analysis demonstrates that at the highest sports level the strategy of 400 m hurdles should be analyzed individually.

Abstract:
Selected kinematic variables in the performance of the Gold and Silver medalists and the eighth-place finisher in the women's 100-meter hurdles final at the 1984 Summer Olympic Games were investigated. Cinematographic records were obtained for all track hurdling events at the Games, with the 100-meter hurdle performers singled out for initial analysis. In this race, sagittal view filming records (100 fps) were collected at the 9th hurdle of the performance. Computer generated analysis variables included both direct performance variables (body velocity, support time, etc.) and body kinematics (upper leg position, lower leg velocity, etc.) that have previously been utilized in the analysis of elite athlete hurdlers. The difference in place finish was related to the performance variables body horizontal velocity (direct), vertical velocity (indirect), and support time (indirect). The critical body kinematics variables related to success included upper and lower leg velocity during support into and off the hurdle (direct), relative horizontal foot position (to the body) at touchdown into and off the hurdle (indirect), and relative horizontal foot velocity (to the body) at touchdown into the hurdle.

Abstract:
The reform of the electricity distribution industry has resulted in the national regulator authorities moving from Rate of Return (ROR) to Incentive Based Regulation (IBR) quality regulation mechanism. This has influenced the reporting, planning, design, operating and maintenance (O&M) philosophy surrounding distribution networks and service delivery to the end customer. The introduction of IBR regulation has created a need to understand how the IBR scheme implemented will influence the capital and operating investment decisions. The aim of the work leading up to this thesis has been to develop reliability hurdle rates that include the effect of the IBR scheme implemented by the national regulator authority of South Africa. This will enable the network planner to compare the investment decision with the reward / penalty scheme. The thesis addresses the challenges facing distribution network planning to achieve the appropriate (optimal) balance of investment cost vs. reliability levels. Value Based Reliability Planning (VBRP) methodology is an approach to evaluate capital investment decisions by quantifying, in economic terms, the benefits of improving reliability (System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) per capital cost required) by comparing different reliability improvement alternatives. This is achieved by relating the investment decision to the reward / penalty scheme introduced by National Electricity Regulator for South Africa (NERSA). To reach this goal this thesis derived a reliability hurdle rate by utilising benefit-to-cost analysis principles by considering the shape of the reward / penalty scheme. Furthermore, this necessitates the determination of the optimal balance between investment decisions to obtain improvement in the continuity of supply indices. One of the fundamental objectives is therefore to relate the IBR and VBRP in an efficient and effective way, that is the aim of the national regulator authority. A new method to determine a regional and national reliability hurdle rate is proposed by the thesis. This is a first step in obtaining an optimal expansion alternative and allows the planner to compare the preferred alternative selected against a hurdle rate. Since the method considers the reward / penalty scheme, the thesis first reviews the principles that influence the quality regulation mechanisms and the benefit-to-cost analysis techniques. The second step demonstrates the derivation of the reliability hurdle rate utilising the reward / penalty scheme adopted within South Africa. Parameters considered include the number of customers and the interruption indices in each region. The application studies demonstrate the derivation of the regional reliability hurdle rate from the six regions within South Africa. This allows the derivation of regional reliability hurdle rate from the different regional reward / penalty schemes. Finally, a sensitivity analysis is performed to understand the influence of different parameters, which will influence the regional reliability hurdle rate. The results from the case studies show that, when NERSA creates the reward / penalty scheme, it is crucial that the approved method is applied to determine the shape of the scheme implemented, which will allow the derivation of the reliability hurdle rate. The new method is suitable for implementation where the IBR quality regulation mechanism has been adopted by the national electricity authorities. Furthermore, the reliability hurdle rate derived can be used to compare the investment decision against the improvement required in the continuity of supply indices. This ensures the trade-off between the expansion investment and improvement in the reliability levels

Abstract:
The new Equality Bill in the UK attempts to bring domestic law regarding positive action into line with EU norms. The author addresses two key criticisms of the provisions, namely: a) that they allow positive discrimination; and b) that they will be ineffective in practice. It is argued that the first criticism is misconceived; preference of a minority candidate where they are equally as qualified as a male candidate simply recognises that equality is not about treating everybody the same, but having a relevant reason for treating them differently. The second criticism is more compelling. The author recommends that the UK make the transition to a systemic model and impose positive duties on employers in a similar vein to that which has developed in Canada. However, a delicate equilibrium must be achieved; special treatment of women and minorities regardless of merit is not conducive to a society that values diversity.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses another hurdle workers face: the frameworks that courts use to evaluate employment discrimination cases. When Congress enacted the federal discrimination statutes, it appeared to formulate a simple way to determine whether discrimination happened. The words of the statutes ask the fact-finder to decide whether a particular employment outcome occurred because of a worker’s race, sex, or other protected trait. But since the 1970s, the federal courts have not always used that language to analyze discrimination cases. Instead, the Supreme Court has created a set of frameworks to decide whether discrimination occurred. Each framework introduces new terms and phrases into the discrimination inquiry, often making it harder for courts to adjudicate discrimination claims. The frameworks also reduce discrimination law to a rote sorting process. Ultimately, in many cases, the frameworks distract judges from the fundamental question of whether an employer discriminated against an employee.

Abstract:
Extraterritorial jurisdiction stands at the juncture of international law and animal law and promises to open a path to understanding and resolving the global problems that challenge the core of animal law. As corporations have relocated and the animal industry (agriculture, medical research, entertainment, etc.) has dispersed its production facilities across the territories of multiple states, regulatory gaps and fears of a race to the bottom have become a pressing issue of global policy. Protecting Animals Within and Across Borders provides enough background to allow readers to understand why extraterritorial jurisdiction must respond to these developments, counters objections that readers might raise, and describes how to improve animal law in tandem. The heart of the work is a fully fledged catalog of options for extraterritorial jurisdiction, which states can employ to strengthen their animal laws. The book offers top-down perspectives drawn from general international law and trade law, and complements them with a bottom-up view from the perspective of animal law. The approach connects the law of jurisdiction to substantive law and opens up deeper questions about moral directionality, state and corporate duties owed to animals, and the comparative advantages of applying constitutional, criminal, and administrative animal law across the border. To ensure that extraterritorial animal law does not become complicit in oppressing ethnic, cultural, or any other minorities, the book offers critical interdisciplinary perspectives, informed by studies on posthumanism and postcolonialism. Readers will further learn when and how extraterritorial jurisdiction violates international law, and the consequences of exercising it illegally under international law. This work answers questions about how and why extraterritorial jurisdiction can overcome the steepest hurdles for animal law and help us move toward a just global interspecies community.

Abstract:
Echocardiography is a key diagnostic method in the management of patients with cardiomyopathies.The main echocardiographic findings of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are asymmetric hypertrophy of the septum, increased echogenicity of the myocardium, systolic anterior motion, turbulent left ventricular (LV) outflow tract blood flow, intracavitary gradient of dynamic nature, mid-systolic closure of the aortic valve and mitral regurgitation. The degree of hypertrophy and the magnitude of the obstruction have prognostic meaning. Echocardiography plays a fundamental role not only in diagnostic process, but also in management of patients, prognostic stratification, and evaluation of therapeutic intervention effects.In idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, echocardiography reveals dilation and impaired contraction of the LV or both ventricles. The biplane Simpson’s method incorporates much of the shape of the LV in calculation of volume; currently, three-dimensional echocardiography accurately evaluates LV volumes. Deformation parameters might be used for detection of early ventricular involvement. Stress echocardiography using dobutamine or dipyridamole may contribute to risk stratification, evaluating contractile reserve and left anterior descending flow reserve. LV dyssynchrony assessment is challenging and in patients with biventricular pacing already applied, optimization of atrio-interventricular delays should be done. Specific characteristics of right ventricular dysplasia and isolated LV non-compaction can be recognized, resulting in an increasing frequency of their prevalence. Rare forms of cardiomyopathy related with neuromuscular disorders can be studied at an earlier stage of ventricular involvement.Restrictive and infiltrative cardiomyopathies are characterized by an increase in ventricular stiffness with ensuing diastolic dysfunction and heart failure. A variety of entities may produce this pathological disturbance with amyloidosis being the most prevalent. Storage diseases (Fabry, Gaucher, Hurler) are currently treatable and early detection of ventricular involvement is of paramount importance for successful treatment. Traditional differentiation between constrictive pericarditis (surgically manageable) and the rare cases of restrictive cardiomyopathy should be properly performed.

Abstract:
The purpose of this chapter is twofold. First, it aims to call attention to the fact that study abroad does take place in the community college sector. Second, this study aims at modeling the relationship between institutional profile characteristics and variations in study abroad participation at community colleges. In this sense, it addresses community college students' ability to access education abroad using the institution as the unit of analysis. Specifically, this study employs data from both the Institute of International Education (IIE) and the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) to examine the role institutional characteristics, such as an institution's gender and race/ethnicity composition and its location, play in community college students' participation in study abroad. The hurdle model analytic technique adopted here allows for the examination of these factors' relationship to both an institution's provision of study abroad opportunity and the percentage of students that participate. Results have implications for both policymakers and practitioners who aim to increase the prominence of education abroad in the two-year sector.

Abstract:
Fish and seafoods are a highly perishable product due to the biochemical composition and the high microbial load on the skin and gills of fish. The natural microflora that is more adopted to low temperatures results in lower thermal bacterial shock at the storage temperature. The development of new fish processing techniques is required because the demand for fish or seafood with minimum changes in sensory Biochemical and nutritional quality. This has led to the advent of hurdle technology in the field of seafood technology. Hurdle technology is the combined use of several preservation methods to make a product shelf-stable, to improve quality and to provide additional safety. This technology is used in many countries of the world, including India. The factors used for food preservation is called as hurdles. A combination of hurdle such as high temperature, refrigeration, irradiation, drying and smoking etc. are applied to eliminate the growth of microorganism. The application of several hurdle may reduce the rate of fish spoilage caused by spoilage microbe. The objective of this book chapters is focus on the preservative effect of hurdles technology on the quality and shelf-life fish and fishery products with recent, combined updated information.

Abstract:
Irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) is considered to be one of the key issues from a viewpoint of the life management of core components in the aged Light Water Reactors (LWRs). To simulate IASCC behavior by the in-pile IASCC experiment or post-irradiation experiment (PIE), it is necessary to irradiate specimens up to a neutron fluence that is higher than the so-called IASCC threshold fluence in a test reactor. There are, however, some technical hurdles to overcome for the experiments. For the in-pile IASCC test, techniques assembling pre-irradiated specimens into an in-pile test capsule in a hot cell by remote handling are necessary, and the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) developed the techniques for the in-pile test to be carried out in the Japan Material Testing Reactor (JMTR). To examine crack growth and crack initiation behaviors under neutron irradiation, pre-irradiated specimens were relocated from pre-irradiation capsules to an in-pile capsule. Hence, a remote welding machine has been newly developed and welding work for inner and outer tubes of capsule are carried out with rotating of the capsule. The other hurdle is the material integrity of the capsule of the capsule housing for a long term irradiation. Since the changes in microstructure, micro chemistry and mechanical properties of materials increase with neutron fluence, the integrity for capsules of long irradiation period was evaluated by tensile tests in the air and slow strain rate test (SSRT) in oxygenated water. Specimens were obtained from the outer tubes of capsule irradiated to 1.0–3.9 × 1026 n/m2 (E&gt; 1 MeV) previously. Elongation more than 15% in tensile test at 423 K was confirmed and no IGSCC fraction was shown in SSRT at 423 K which was estimated as temperature at the outer tubes of the capsule under irradiation.

Abstract:
Retention of students from the first to second year of engineering programs has long been recognized as an important and challenging hurdle. The Mechanical Engineering Department at RIT has implemented several changes to its first year programs and student support services during the preceding five years, which have resulted in a significant increase in one-year retention. During the 2005-06 academic year, additional support services were provided to first year learning communities in combination with course offering logistics modifications. Additional focus was placed on building a firm relationship between each student and their faculty adviser. Six initiatives were studied during the 2005-06 academic year, resulting in a projected first year retention rate of 98% at the institution, and 96% retention within the mechanical engineering department.

Full text
Abstract:
An improved method for computing the dissipation by whitecapping in full spectral discrete wind wave models is presented. In this method the rate of dissipation of a certain spectral wave component is determined by the cumulative wave steepness of all spectral components with lower frequencies. This method is known as the cumulative wave steepness method (CSM) and was described by Van Vledder and Hurdle (2002). In this paper some improvements of the CSM are presented which are related to directional and scaling effects. The improved CSM was implemented in the latest release of the SWAN model (version 40.31 of February 2004) and a calibration against a parametric growth curve was performed. Further, the benefits of the CSM in swell-sea systems are illustrated and compared to the method of Komen et al. (1994).

Abstract:
Abstract Main hurdles in the application of genetic algorithms to complex problems are two fold. One is the high computational cost due to their slow convergence rate. The other is to reduce the number of input parameters of a conventional genetic algorithm as in the case of tomographic reconstruction of bubbles. In our present work great strides have been made to alleviate both the problems by using a Hybrid model of Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (ART), Simplex Method and Genetic Algorithm (GA). Our results showed that the hybrid approach is an effective and robust optimization image reconstruction technique.

Abstract:
Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research for their Fast Breeder Reactor had a requirement of two primary sodium pumps, with relatively medium head and comparatively large flow rate. The pumps had to be vertical bowl type, with inverted suction, drawing the relatively cold liquid sodium from the reactor pool, and forcing it over the fuel rods. The flow involved was 4.3 M3/sec. per pump and the head involved was 75 m. The available NPSH was 16.02m. The choice of the right speed was the first hurdle to be overcome. The size of the pump governed the cost of the reactor. Hence it was essential to make the pump as compact as practicable, by designing it to run at the highest possible speed. On the other hand the required NPSH of the pump increased with speed, there by reducing the safety cushion between required NPSH and available NPSH. Increasing the available NPSH beyond 15.55 m to accommodate higher speeds also increased the cost of the reactor phenomenally. Coupled with the requirement of head, flow rate, efficiency, the application demanded a certain erosion life of the pump impeller. Concluding from the previous experience and available literature on the subject, it was necessary to limit the size of the cavitation bubble patch, during operation under available NPSH, to meet erosion life requirement. The paper describes how the choice of speed was made and what were the criteria applied for deciding the value of 3% head drop NPSH. It also describes how a closed circuit test rig was installed for the purpose of testing a model pump and how the usual performance and NPSHR tests paint erosion tests and visual cavitation tests were carried out on a geometrically similar, smaller model pump, to decide that the prototype pump built from the model will meet all the requirements of head, flow rate, efficiency, 3% head drop NPSHR, 0% head drop NPSHR, Paint erosion NPSHR, and the cavitation patch size to meet desired erosion life criteria, in the laboratories of Kirloskar Brothers Limited.

Abstract:
A novel 3D dental identification framework is presented. The objective is to develop a methodology to enable computer-automated matching of complex dental surfaces with possible missing regions for human identification. Thus far, there is no reported attempt at 3D dental identification given partially available dental casts or impressions. This approach overcomes a number of key hurdles in traditional 2D methods. Given the 3D digital form of a dental cast surface, the developed method will facilitate the search for the closest match in the database of digitized dental casts. A salient curvature matching algorithm (SCM) is proposed for pose estimation which includes algorithms for feature extraction, feature description and correspondence. The feature point extraction algorithm could extract more salient features and the correspondence algorithm is more robust for pose estimation compared to known works. Experimental results show 85.7% hit rate at rank-1 accuracy based on matching of 7 partial sets to a database of 100 full sets in significantly reduced retrieval time. The hit rate increases to 100% with parameter adjustment. This work aims to enable computer-aided 3D dental identification and the proposed method could be adjunctively used with the traditional 2D dental identification method, as the available dental source for identification is still primarily 2D radiographs. Limitations of the methodology and future directions in matching highly fragmented and partial dental surfaces are discussed.
