Dope Testing in Cricket

XII-Biotech-B-Racehorse Dope Testing-1 RACEHORSE AND GREYHOUND "DOPE" TESTING

Step 1 Extraction One of two methods can be used. In solid phase extraction the sample is put on a plate coated with a substance that organic compounds (such as drugs) do not adhere to, but to which other compounds in the sample do, and then the organics washed off with a suitable solvent. In liquid-liquid extraction an organic solvent is mixed with the sample, the organic compounds migrate to ...

Anti-dope testing in sport: the history and the science.

This summer, as the XXX modern Olympic Games and the XIV Summer Paralympic Games were held in London, millions watched magnificent efforts from the best athletes in the world. The ability of the athletes to produce their best personal performances in the spotlight and the pressure of the Olympic Games was a testament to the human spirit. But, because the margin between winning and losing is so ...

Does water dope carbon nanotubes?

We calculate the long-range perturbation to the electronic charge density of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a result of the physisorption of a water molecule. We find that the dominant effect is a charge redistribution in the CNT due to polarisation caused by the dipole moment of the water molecule. The charge redistribution is found to occur over a length-scale greater than 30 Å, highlighting the ...

Cricket interruptus: fairness and incentive in interrupted cricket matches∗

We present a new adjustment rule for interrupted cricket matches that equalizes the probability of winning before and after the interruption. Our proposal differs from existing rules in the quantity preserved (the probability of winning), and also in the point at which it is measured (the time of interruption). We claim this is both fair and free of incentive effects. We give several examples o...
