When introduced to new ecosystems, species' populations often grow immediately postrelease. Some species, however, maintain a low population size for years or decades before sudden, rapid growth is observed. Because exponential always starts slowly, it can be difficult distinguish species experiencing the early phases of slow (inherent lags) from those with actively delayed rates (prolonged lag...

The optimal barbell trajectory for snatch weightlifting has been achieved empirically by several researchers. They have studied the differences between the elite weightlifters’ movement patterns and suggested three optimal barbell trajectories (type A, B, and C). But they didn’t agree for introducing the best trajectory. One of the reasons is this idea that the selected criterion by researchers...
