Double-pyramid and Reverse Step Resistance Training Effectiveness on Physical Fitness Factors Among Elite Female Athletes by Hamid Arazi, Mozhgan Hassanzadeh, Ali Sayyah

“…Due to the necessity of resistance training for athletes conditioning, loading patterns in order to improve training outcomes have received more attention in recent decades. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to assess the impact of 8-week resistance training performed with double pyramid (DP) and reverse step (RS) systems on some physical fitness components of elite female athletes. 30 young female handball players are randomly assigned to the three groups of DP (age: 17.43±1.63 year, weight: 70.28±10.14 kg, fat percentage: 15.60±1.17), RS (age: 17.13±1.32 year, weight: 67.80±7.78 kg, fat percentage: 15.40±1.69), and control groups (age: 17.33±1.71 year, weight: 61.04±6.61 kg, fat percentage: 16.50±1.43). …”

Structural features of correlations in lines with the naturally colored fiber in the trait-specific collection by L. P. Podolnaya, R. K. Tuz, M. Sh. Asfandiiarova, T. P. Rybakova, N. A. Khodjaeva

“…Production of fabrics from such fiber has some disadvantages, therefore an increasing number of genotypes of cotton with the naturally colored fiber is being created around the world in the last decades. An investigation of correlations between different traits makes it possible to reveal the degree of influence of fiber color on structural and agronomic characters, and determine the possibility of creating varieties with naturally colored fiber for profitable cultivation in the north of the Astrakhan Province.Material and methods. …”

Invited perspectives: Integrating hydrologic information into the next generation of landslide early warning systems by B. B. Mirus, B. B. Mirus, T. Bogaard, R. Greco, M. Stähli

“…<p>Although rainfall-triggered landslides are initiated by subsurface hydro-mechanical processes related to the loading, weakening, and eventual failure of slope materials, most landslide early warning systems (LEWSs) have relied solely on rainfall event information. In previous decades, several studies demonstrated the value of integrating proxies for subsurface hydrologic information to improve rainfall-based forecasting of shallow landslides. …”
