The aim of this research is to develop an intelligent system which is able to evaluate table tennis services independently and aid the umpire to make a more accurate decision. Table tennis is a fast sport. A service usually takes one to a few seconds to complete but there are many observations an umpire needs to take and makes a judgment before or soon after the service is complete. This is a c...

A service usually takes a few second to complete but there are many observations an umpire needs to take and makes a judgment before or soon after the service is complete. This is a complex task and the author believes the employment of video...

INTRODUCTION This paper describes a planned process evaluation of the Use of a Multidrug Pill In Reducing Cardiovascular Events (UMPIRE) trial, one of several randomised clinical trials taking place globally to assess the potential of cardiovascular drugs as a fixed-dose combination (polypill) in cardiovascular disease prevention.

The scheduling needs of umpires and referees differ from the needs of sports teams. In some sports leagues, such as Major League Baseball in the United States, umpires travel throughout the league’s territory; they do not have a “home base.” For such leagues, balancing the need to minimize umpire travel and the objective that an umpire should not handle the games of a particular team too freque...

This paper tests the assumption that evaluators are biased to positively evaluate high status individuals, irrespective of quality. Using unique data from Major League Baseball umpires’ evaluation of pitch quality, which allow us to observe the difference in a pitch’s objective quality and in its perceived quality as judged by the umpire, we show that umpires are more likely to over-recognize q...

If the parties do not perceive the process to be fair, they will not embrace arbitration as an alternative to litigation regardless of whether it is cheaper or faster. Central to the parties’ perception of fairness is the compositi...
