Calling the shots on vaccination: when is the state justified in overturning a refusal to vaccinate?
Public perceptions of vaccination have changed greatly since George Bernard Shaw unleashed his diatribe against the practice. Today it is recognised that, far from spreading disease, vaccination is one of the cheapest and most effective public health interventions. Immunization against infectious …

Imaging a Hydraulically Fractured Bakken Shale Reservoir Using 4D-Tomography and Reverse VSP Techniques with Perforation Shot Sources
… description. I propose the use of perforation shots to map regions where hydraulic stimulation was more effective using P- and SV-wave direct arrivals emitted by the shots. First, I introduce a method to calculate the moment when shots were triggered, the zero-time. For that, I use shot depths, …

An application of the Kuleshov Experiment on Generation X: Testing viewer reactions to editing
… find meaning in the juxtaposition of unrelated shots. This discovery was one of the earliest observations used to formulate the theory of montage. This study combines historical information related to the original experiment, editing techniques, and theories in visual literacy. This is a …

Profiling elite male squash performance using a situation awareness approach enabled by automated tracking technology
… (long) and maximum values. The frequencies of shots played from different areas of the court had not changed after the adoption of new rules but there was less time available to return shots. Chapter 5 considered how expert squash players use Situation Awareness (SA) to decide on what shot to …

Buffalo Death Mask
… of what moviemakers like to call establishing shots. There are a couple of chapters on emotional establishing shots narrating fear and death. And there is a chapter that tries to approach the simple and complicated question of what artists might be doing when making experimentalist movies. Why …

SUCCESSFUL SHOT LOCATIONS AND SHOT TYPES USED IN NCAA MEN’S DIVISION I BASKETBALL
… to forwards and centers. In addition, jump shots are most likely to be utilized successfully for every one-meter increase in distance, when compared to hook shots, tip shots, lay ups, and dunks. Results also indicated that, for further distances, the probability of shot success increases as …

Social Ecological Factors Associated with Parental Vaccination Decisions and Perceptions of Barriers to Childhood Immunizations
… Searching for Hardships and Obstacles To Shots (SHOTS), to measure parental barriers to childhood immunizations, delivered as a self-administered questionnaire in a web-based survey format. A response rate of 90.8% resulted in a total of 129 participant surveys being examined. Data were …

Cinematic Discourse Generation
… systems take into account local coherence of shots and transitions but do not address the rhetorical coherence of the communication across multiple shots. I describe an end-to-end camera planning system - Darshak - that constructs visual narrative discourse of a given story in a 3D virtual …

Distinguishing homicides and suicides in firearm fatalities: the role of skeletal trauma analysis
… of entrance trauma, bullet direction, number of shots, and range of fire are important factors in understanding this variation. Anthropological research has not explored these differences as they are expressed on the skeleton, however; knowledge of variation in skeletal gunshot trauma, between …

Approach-iron play in high performance golf: From testing to tournament play
… the ball off the tee, hitting approach-iron shots, hitting short-iron shots and putting). Despite approach-iron play being considered perhaps the most important and definitely the most practiced skill in the game, the ability to quantify the golfer’s ability to hit approach-iron shots in a …

The Effects of Constant and Variable Practice on Performing a Gross Motor Skill
… to either a constant practice condition, where shots were taken from the free throw line, or one of three variable conditions, where shots were taken from varying distances from the goal. Results from ANOVA and MANOVA analyses failed to support the hypothesis that participants in the variable …

Development of a reusable practice device to measure the power, accuracy, and placement of a golf shot
… device that could help golfers analyze their shots. A Magic Pad, consisting of a translucent, plastic top layer and a statically charged thin layer of cardboard, was modified and placed on the clubface. When the clubface strikes the ball, the top plastic layer attaches itself to the bottom …

The effects of seismic blasting on shallow water wells and aquifers in western North Dakota
… system showed no apparent physical effects when shots were detonated one quarter mile away from the pumping wells. Shots 500 feet distant resulted in no permanent effects. Shots 100 feet or closer increased the yield from wells finished in the sand aquifer and decreased the yield from the coal …

High Energy Laser Driven Electron Acceleration
… up to 85% larger than the initial energy when shots were averaged out every 5 points. The pointing of the beam relative to the laser axis was also found to stabilise around the zero point after 70 shots, whereas the divergence and relative width of the monoenergetic peaks (∆E/E)remained …

Data-driven study of major disruption prediction and plasma instabilities across multiple tokamaks
… explo-rative data analysis of thousands of shots on C-Mod, DIII-D and EAST tokamaks, the advantage of sequence-based disruption prediction model was shown. Based on this finding, a new Hybrid Deep-Learning (HDL) general disruption predictor was developed using C-Mod, DIII-D and EAST …

Body and surface wave ambient noise seismic interferometry across the Salton Sea Geothermal Field, California
… high-energy impulsive sources (e.g. earthquakes, shots) were removable using traditional methods of amplitude normalization prior to cross-correlation. The continuous source artifacts generated by the geothermal wells and highways required an unconventional approach of utilizing only normalized …
