Position-specific isometric strength tests and their relationship with dynamic performance in collegiate athletes
… the relationships between relative peak force (rPF) obtained through unilateral maximal isometric strength tests using two different bar types including a safety squat bar (SSB) and a conventional barbell (CB); and dynamic sport-specific performance metrics in elite athletes and 2) to extract …

The Functional Properties and Digestibility of Round and Wrinkled Pea Flour in Swine
… diversity was determined in pigs fed round (RPF) or wrinkled pea flour (WPF) that were either unprocessed or extruded using barrows fitted with an ileal cannula, enabling the assessment at both ileal and total tract level. Ileal starch digestibility in pigs fed RPF was increased compared to …

Exploring subjective and objective localized muscle fatigue responses at recommended upper limb ergonomics limits
… feedback on ratings of perceived fatigue (RPF), resulted in a significant improvement in error between RPF and measures of force output and electromyography. Study 2 compared the LMF response at three different “acceptable” limits along the ACGIH® threshold limit curve, which describes …

Vortex of Genocide: Banyamulenge Identity Formation in Pursuit of the Genocidaire, Zaïre (1996- 1997)
… in the early 1990s Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), and the short-lived Alliance des Forces Démocratiques pour la Libération du Congo (AFDL). These soldiers witnessed first-hand the violence and devastation of the Rwandan civil war and 1994 genocide. The AFDL, under Rwandan leadership, went on …

Supplementation Strategies for Growing and Finishing Beef Cattle on Tall Fescue Pastures in the Southeast
… containing a rumen protected fat (RPF) on growth performance and carcass characteristics of pasture finished cattle. Market dynamics continue to favor cattle that produce heavier carcasses, which discounts smaller framed feeder calves at sale barns. At the same time, Virginia is …

Development of a ribosome profiling protocol to study translation in the yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus
… referred to as the ribosome protected fragment (RPF). This method uses endonucleases to digest unprotected mRNA, purifying the RPF and generating a cDNA library. Deep sequencing of these cDNA libraries can reveal the locations of all translating ribosomes in vivo. These data can be used to study …

Ensemble-based reservoir history matching using hyper-reduced-order models
… filter, known as regularized particle filter (RPF), is considered because it does not take any distributional assumptions. Particle filtering has rarely been applied for reservoir history matching due to the fact that it is hard to locate the initial particles on highly probable regions of …

From Revolution To Ruin: A Preliminary Look at Rwanda’s First Two Presidents, Grégoire Kayibanda and Juvénal Habyarimana, and Their Administrations
… and would not have occurred without the RPF invasion; the effect of literacy on the illiterate Rwandan society, from its introduction at the start of the twentieth century, had a profound impact on the socio-political and economic system, and the culture—an impact that has not been …

Recreating the Rwandan state and Citizen : an analysis of diaspora politics and its role in transforming Rwandan identities
… based on this government narrative; (3) how the RPF governed perceptions abroad; and finally (4) the education programs to shape the ideal Rwandan citizen. This thesis concludes that the Rwandan government, while trying to rebuild the nation, has failed to transcend divisive identities that have …

'Mastering the genocide narrative' : an analysis of the Rwandan Patriotic Front's official narrative of the Rwandan genocide
… then be applied to the official narrative of the RPF. The research design is thus a theoretical case study of sorts, with the theory distilled from scholarly literature on [a] and [b]. The case studies have been chosen because they represent the spectrum of narratives employed in the context of …

d-bar continuity beyond subshifts of finite type
… potential to its Ruelle-Perron-Frobenius (RPF) measure is continuous in the $\overline{d}$-metric on the space of measures and the metric coming from the Hölder norm on the space of potentials. The concept of $\overline{d}$-distance on the space of invariant measures on a shift space was …

Crescimento do porta enxerto 'Sunki tropical' (Citrus sunki hort. ex tan) em substratos orgânicos.
… The substrate 2 induced higher values of RAF, RPF, PAR and AFE. The substrate 3 provided 100% of plants suitable for grafting. Plants grown in substrates 1 and 2 did not reach the stem diameter for grafting

Characterization of Unregulated Disinfection By-Products (DBPs) in Chloraminated Water and Estimation of Associated Health Risks
… study using the USEPA relative potency factor (RPF) approach. The illustrative health risk analysis was conducted on a subset of DBPs, the 17 DBPs with validated no-observed-adverse-effects-levels (NOAELs) obtained from animal studies. The estimated health risks associated with these 17 DBPs …

Genetic Resistance to the Downy Mildew Pathogen and Breeding towards Durable Disease Management in Spinach
… line NIL1 carrying downy mildew resistance gene RPF1. These genes included several novel genes encoding the NBS-LRR, RLK, PR- proteins along with the hormone associated genes, located on chromosomes 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Furthermore, the outcomes of this study propose a potential model for …

Energy Efficient Target Tracking in Wireless Sensor Networks: Sleep Scheduling, Particle Filtering, and Constrained Flooding
… though VPF incurs 34% more estimation error than RPF, and CDPF incurs a similar estimation error to SDPF, they significantly improve the energy efficiency by as much as 68% and 90% respectively. For data propagation, we present a Constrained Flooding protocol (CFlood) to enhance energy efficiency …

Online estimation of inter-frequency/system phase biases in precise positioning
… by utilising the regularized particle filter (RPF) and the precision of the estimated IFB rate is continuously improved by new observations. An approach for adapting the number of particles in the estimation of the IFB rate is also proposed to reduce the calculation burden by relating the …

Quantifying Localized Muscle Fatigue of the Forearm during Simulations of High Pressure Cleaning Lance Tasks
Localized muscle fatigue (LMF) has been proposed as a surrogate measure to injury, since the onset of fatigue is rapid rather than months or years required to the onset of work related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). The objectives of this study were to estimate LMF and quantify muscle activity …
