Efficient Intelligence Towards Real-Time Precision Medicine With Systematic Pruning and Quantization
… the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database. By combining magnitude-based pruning, regularization-based pruning, filter map-based pruning, and quantization at different bit-widths (4-bit, 8-bit, 2-bit, and 1-bit), the study aims to develop a more compact and efficient CNN model while maintaining high …

The Effect of Ten Days of Heat Acclimation on Exercise Capacity during Acute Altitude Exposure (4350 m)
… to be a 95% worthwhile effect according to magnitude based statistics. Our findings do not support the use of HA to significantly improve VO2max during acute altitude exposure. However the improved TT performance suggests that HA was beneficial. Further research with more subjects needs to …

The Acute Effects of Weight Training on Softball Throwing Velocity
… and t statistics were used to make magnitude-based inferences with respect to the smallest important change of 2%. The average throwing velocity increased between pre and post tests for both treatments; the average increase was a substantial 2.3% (0.5 to 4.1%). Throwing velocity …

Face Recognition in Unconstrained Conditions: Improving Face Alignment and Constructing a Pose-Invariant Compact Biometric Template
… estimation algorithm namely Annotated Face Model-based Alignment (AFMA) that estimates a head pose without landmarks. The third contribution is a pose estimation algorithm with the name Sensible-Points based reinforced Hypothesis Refinement (SHR) which is robust to facial occlusion. The fourth …

Recovering from repeat sprint activity and elite Australian football training and competition: do compression garments help?
… and medical (Med) style compression garment. A magnitude based effects approach, using effect sizes and the smallest worthwhile change was used to analyse treatment effects.

Contributions to Multiple Postmen Problems
… problems to optimality (up to a certain order of magnitude). Based on a detailed review on existing lower bounding procedures for the CARP we develop an improved algorithm and confirm its effectiveness by computational experiments. We also reveal a new dominance relation between two existing lower …

Computational Modeling of Glass Curtain Wall Systems to Support Fragility Curve Development
With the increased push towards performance-based engineering (PBE) design, there is a need to understand and design more resilient building envelopes when subjected to natural hazards. Since architectural glass curtain walls (CW) have become a popular façade type, it is important to understand how …

Stretch intensity and the inflammatory response
… tendons and the myotendon unit (MTU)) The magnitude and rate of stretching may potentially induce mechanical responses of the musculoskeletal system, such as increased range of motion (ROM). The degree of the intensity of stretch (low, medium, or high) may be used to optimize recovery from …

The potentiating effects of different warm-up protocols on sprint cycling performance
… In addition, time trial data was analysed using magnitude-based inferences. Comparisons of individual SWU bike speeds for SR and MBR was analysed. The current findings recognised, at the 5m point SR offers a likely small benefit (0.03s; 0.0091; 99.5% chance) compared with MBR. At the 10m split SR …

Selected factors affecting measurement of the hydraulic conductivity of geosynthetic clay liners
… effects of the type of permeant liquid and the magnitude of σ´ on the measurement of k of two GCLs, a higher grade needle-punched (HGN) GCL and a lower grade needle-punched (LGN) GCL. The permeant liquids included tap water (TW), conservative water (CW), and several calcium chloride (CaCl2) …

The effect of alterations in effective seat tube angle on cycling performance, economy and muscle recruitment
… three trials were not significantly different. Magnitude-based inferences statistics showed "possible beneficial effects" on knee and ankle joint kinematics when comparing the forward and rearward saddle displacement. A progressive increase in integrated EMG values was observed for gluteus …

Carrots and Sticks in Green Moves: Assessing the Mobility, Environmental, Economic, and Social Impacts of Sustainable Mobility Solutions
… ridership, and also quantifies the specific effect magnitude. Based on these results, we also measure the impacts of remote work on on-road CO2 emissions and transit fare revenue loss during this period. The insights are crucial for policymakers addressing urban transport and environmental …

The Growth of Brightest Cluster Galaxies and Intracluster Light in X-ray Selected Clusters
… environmental properties (velocity dispersion-based halo mass, X-ray luminosity and optical richness). We quantify the morphologies of our BCGs by modelling their light profiles using GALFIT 3 (via the SIGMA pipeline), which we also use to obtain integrated magnitude-based stellar masses. We …

Detection and Localization of Pressure Transients in Water Distribution Systems
… that a spatial metric, the effective number of magnitude-changing junctions along the fastest path, (NJFP), has a stronger correlation with detection success than the shortest travel path or the shortest distance. By comparing detection performance for networks with differing topologies …

GROWING, BUILDING AND REPAING ELITE RUGBY PLAYERS: Nutritional and Energetic Considerations
… perceived exertion and data were analysed using magnitude-based inferences. There were unclear differences in resting metabolic rate between forwards and backs (7.7 ± 0.5 cf. 8.0 ± 0.3 MJ. day-1). Indirect calorimetry produced resting metabolic rate values most likely lower than predictive …
