Reconstructing the Meaning of Fidelity: A Qualitative Inquiry into Swinging Relationships
… gain a richer understanding of the dynamics of swinging relationships. Swinging was defined at the onset of the study as sexual activities that married couples engage in with people other than their spouse. Fourteen people (seven couples) volunteered and were interviewed to gain information …

A Quantamental approach to Bitcoin trading: Are we swinging for the Fences?
Financial companies from all around the world have started to focus their investments in quantitative and algorithmic funds. Those methods run in server applications that execute automatic trades. It is important to distinguish high frequency trading from machine learning trading. The latter is …

Swinging the Score: Compositional and empirical investigations into the performance of swing and groove rhythms by score-reading musicians
… style and swing, with score-dependent musicians swinging more using classical and jazz notation formats. Unlike in jazz practice, listening to jazz recordings did not improve classical musicians’ swing. Jazz listeners’ detailed critiques of classical musicians’ swing provided details for …

Swinging towards intentionality: Exploring the process of life skills development in seasonal camp staff at a sport-based PYD camp using creative non-fictions
There has been a growing body of literature to explore the experiences and outcomes associated with summer camp staff (Botting et al., 2021; Kendellen et al., 2016; Povilaitis & Tamminen, 2018). However, studies focusing specifically within the context of day camp settings remain underrepresented. …

A Study Measuring the Effectiveness of Visual Recall Provided by a Videotape Recorder in Teaching Golf Performance Skills
… videotape replay of themselves practicing a full swinging golf shot with an instructor's critique will improve their golf performance skills significantly more than students whose full swinging golf shot is videotaped but who are not exposed to a videotape replay of their performance; however, …

Anti-swing control of overhead cranes
… and deceleration of the crane generally induce swinging motion in the suspended payload. A method is presented to find the trajectory for an overhead crane that will ensure the transfer of the payload in the shortest time and with minimum swinging along a specified path. The overhead crane and …

Using the self-as-a-model with video editing in athletic performance
… it was caught; (e) swings and misses; (f) not swinging at a strike (called strikes); (g) not swinging at a ball (called balls); (h) the number of foul balls; and (i) the number of pop ups. In addition, batting averages were kept for game performance. It was expected that participants would show …

Fuzzy control for an under-actuated robotic manipulator : Pendubot
… at the unstable upright top configuration after swinging up, another simple fuzzy controller is derived according to its joint states: This combining fuzzy algorithm for swinging-up and balancing is successfully applied to the Pendubot. This thesis also investigates the case that the Pendubot …

Simulations of a three degree of freedom brachiating Y-bot robot
… apes like gibbons. It involves the animal swinging its arms to gain moment and swing forward. A large amount of research has been done studying a simplified two-link two DOF robot, named "acrobot" by Mark Spong. While the problems of this robot have been studied extensively, it's …

Horizontal and Vertical Eye and Head Movements during a Baseball Swing
… tracking methods, one for taking and another for swinging. Subjects were tested using a pitching machine called the Flamethrower under two separate conditions, in one condition they were instructed to “track the ball like you are taking a pitch”, and in the second condition they were instructed to …
