Policy analysis in sport: a review of mainstream meso-level frameworks and developing more sustainable policy for grassroots sport by Charles Mountifield

“…A narrative literature review provides an overview of prevalent approaches, namely Institutional Analysis, the Multiple Streams Framework, Policy Network Theory, and the Advocacy Coalition Framework. Aspects of applying these models to sport policy—including some key advantages and disadvantages—are outlined, especially the issue of conventional top-policy processes, the impact on policy implementers at grassroots level, and the potential for bottom-up policy influence. …”

The Mathematical Model for the Tippe Top Inversion by R. Usubamatov, M. Bergander, S. Kapayeva

“…These inertial torques and the variable ratio of the angular velocities of the spinning object around axes of rotations constitute the fundamental principles of gyroscope theory. These physical principles of dynamics of rotating objects enable to description and compute of any gyroscopic effects and also the Tippe top inversion.…”

Exploiting Optimal Threshold for Decision Fusion in Wireless Sensor Networks by Zhaohui Yuan, Haiying Xue, Yiqin Cao, Xiangmao Chang

“…However, some variants of decision rules such as Voting, Bayes Criterion, and Neyman-Pearson require a priori knowledge on the probability of targets presence which is still an open issue in detection theory. In this paper, we propose a binary decision fusion scheme that reaches a global decision by integrating local decisions made by fusion members. …”

Polarizabilities from kaon Compton scattering by Dominik Stamen, Jan Luca Dammann, Yannis Korte, Bastian Kubis

“…We propose a method to extend the energy range serviceable for this purpose by reconstructing the $$K^*(892)$$ K ∗ ( 892 ) contribution model-independently from its $$K\pi $$ K π intermediate state, using dispersion theory. We point out that, in contrast to the charged-pion analog, there is likely no strong hierarchy between sum and difference of electric and magnetic dipole polarizabilities; we discuss the sensitivity to disentangling both by improved experimental angular coverage.…”

Degrés de subjectivisation dans la représentation linguistique de la perception : le cas de la perception directe dans les récits en anglais by Henry Wyld

“…After a rapid overview of the main elements participating in the construction of the linguistic representation of the percept specific to each domain, the second part of the article is an attempt at modelising within the theoretical framework of location theory (tope) the process of elaboration of an origin of perception progressively more endowed with subject-of-consciousness type properties, such as is seen to underlie the observed gradient of subjectivisation.…”
