Part-time Soccer Instruction to National Franchise: Luke Vercollone and Mighty Kicks
… business into a national franchise called Mighty Kicks. This case study used in-depth interviews, and public and private documents to explain the key factors, process, and journey that contributed to the formation of Mighty Kicks. The study resulted in five themes attributed to Mr. Vercollone’s …

Examining the Forces Associated with Heading in Collegiate Soccer Athletes
… soccer. The variability between goal and corner kicks and throw-ins were examined. A secondary purpose was to determine if this information is indicative of soccer players potentially being at risk due to repetitive sub-concussive impacts. Design: This was a prospective descriptive study which …

Análisis observacional de la interacción lanzador-portero en penaltis en competiciones internacionales de selecciones de fútbol
… between kickers and goalkeepers in penalty kicks taken during international national team competitions. Within the observational methodology, an observation system has been designed which provides goalkeepers and their coaching staff with relevant information to predict the shot direction. …

Numerical Evaluation of Various Well Control Methods with Emphasis on Application in Managed Pressure Drilling Operation
… MPD is designed to identify and circulate out kicks (uncontrolled flow of formation fluids into the wellbore) that possess blowout risk. Since MPD allows fast changes in the bottom hole pressure, the reaction to an undesirable inflow is not automatically to shut in the well and increase the …

Formation of Low-Mass X-Ray Binaries
… restricted to a narrow range, and (ii) supernova kicks are necessary for the formation of short-period LMXBs. Population synthesis models are calculated for a wide range of model parameters with special focus on the dependence of the results on them. It is found that the predicted birth rates …

The rehydration behavior of the desert toad, Bufo punctatus
… contact area when showing the WR; and (c) kicks, in which toads would rub adherent particles from the skin with the hind feet; Measurements of the capacitance of the ventral skin, in vitro, indicate that the seat patch has a greater surface area than that of the pectoral region. The …

Characterizing the performance of footballs
… on the variation in flight paths in similar free kicks. The variation due to the aerodynamic properties could be described by a single metric and be used in accreditation testing as a means to gauge the performance of the football. Football players could also use this metric to their advantage on …

Using Machine Learning to Differentiate Set Pieces in Football via Tracking Data
… shows promise in distinguishing corners, free kicks, and throw-ins. While far from ready to be utilized in a real game scenario, it shows the potential viability in distinguishing a certain class of events without relying on noisy ball data.

A torsion pendulum ground test of the LISA Pathfinder Free-fall mode
… with test masses in free fall in between two “kicks”, with this actuation-free motion then analysed for the remaining sources of acceleration ultra noise. In this work, we present the results from an extensive on-ground torsion pendulum test of this free-fall technique, which to date allows an …

Poetry in New Zealand 1850-1930
… of the first faint heart-beats, the first weak kicks, and a whole lot of morning-sickness. It is something less than a ‘study’ of poetic pre-history; to try to consider New Zealand poetry before 1930 ‘in depth’ would be like practising diving in a mangrove swamp. On the other hand, although I …

Size reduction characteristics of an experimental swing hammermill
… is due mainly to impact. Rittingers’ and Kicks’ laws are empirical formulas which do not make an attempt to resolve the forces as applied to grinding into their component parts. Possibly the application of the component forces as applied to impact grinding would give a key to the multiple …

Strategic behavior in risky competitive settings
… equilibrium predictions in soccer penalty kicks, a real-life example of strategic play. This is the first time that the implications of mixed strategy equilibria are tested in the field using repeated observations on specific heterogeneous pairs of players, a situation that rarely repeats …

Some Investigations Of Phase Transitions In Rod-Like Macro-Molecules And Fibrous Gels
… at the pulled end of the bar due to thermal kicks from the bath by using a partition function. We also show rate dependence of hysteresis in cyclic loading of the bar arising from the stick-slip kinetics. we also extract equilibrium and non-equilibrium information from an over-damped Langevin …

Factors that influence motor performance: Colour, inhibition and conscious processing
… avoidance motivation during football penalty-kicks, because they conveyed the meaning of dominance and threat. Professional football players displayed avoidance motivation (i.e., choosing the easier option/ kicking towards the larger side of the goal) when viewing a red and a blue spectator …

A Comparison of Brain Trauma Characteristics from Head Impacts for Lightweight and Heavyweight Fighters in Professional Mixed Martial Arts
… impact magnitudes. Next, head impacts (punches, kicks, knees and elbows) from fight videos were visually estimated to determine their corresponding magnitude range and establish the frequency distribution of impact magnitudes. The study revealed no significant differences in overall impact …
