BACKGROUND Course setting has often been discussed as a potential preventative measure in the World Cup ski-racing community. However, there is limited understanding of how it is related to injury risk. OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of increased horizontal gate distance on energy-related and injury mechanism-related variables. METHODS During a video-based thr...

Horizontal Inequality (HI) is defined as inequality among culturally defined (or constructed) groups, in contrast to Vertical Inequality (VI) which is inequality among households or individuals. HIs are multidimensional, including a political and social dimension, as well as economic, and a range of elements in each of these dimensions. There is evidence that in many, but not all, cases HIs per...

Abstract Connecting upper-atmospheric gravity waves (GW) to their lower- and middle-atmospheric (0–30 30–100 km altitude) origins can improve understanding of the evolution Mars’s atmosphere as well its present thermal structure general circulation. A recent study using observations from Mars Climate Sounder (MCS) on board Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) characterized climatology lower-atmospheric...

1.1 Introduction Under utilization of radio spectrum in traditional wireless communications systems [30], along with the increasing spectrum demand from emerging wireless applications, is driving the development of new spectrum allocation policies for wireless communications. These new spectrum allocation policies, which will allow unlicensed users (i.e., secondary users) to access the radio sp...

Due to seasonal ice cover, acoustics can provide a unique means for Arctic undersea communication, navigation, and remote sensing. This study seeks quantify the annual cycle of thermohaline structure in Beaufort Sea characterize acoustically relevant oceanographic processes such as eddies, internal waves, near-inertial waves (NIWs), spice. The observations are from seven-mooring, 150-km radius ...
