Feasibility of a Non-Anticipatory, Random-Action Target System to Improve Shooting Performance: A Brief Field Trial by Matthew Lee Smith, Ali Boolani

“…Observational data were gathered from a single-day, three-round trial to test shooting accuracy and shooting errors when shooters were unable to anticipate target appearance location and target exposure speed. In Trial 1, the target exposure time was 0.5 s, which increased to 0.7 s in Trial 2, and decreased back to 0.5 s in Trial 3. …”

Development of technologies and tools for drilling additional wells from artificial bottom-hole with whipstock of continuous action in hard and very hard rocks by V. V. Neskoromnykh, D. V. Lysacov

“…A feature of the work of a milling type whipstocks is that the creation of a deflecting force is carried out due to the constant influence of the axial load, the value of which proportionally affects the speed of drilling. A review of the materials used to create an artificial bottom led to the conclusion that at present there are no curable materials that would have a hardness higher than category 8 for drillability, which means that when trying to drill a new direction of a well in rocks more than 8 grade for drillability, the speed drilling with a continuous action whipstocks will exceed the optimum and reduce the intensity of the buildup rate whipstock.Conclusion. …”

The Effect of Running Speed on Cadence and Running Kinetics by Abbey Leacox, Lucy Fashingbauer, Thomas Ferguson, Anna Zajakowski, Brian Baum, Mark Reinking

“…# Background Previous studies have shown that a lower running cadence (<170 steps/min) increases the risk of injury in runners. However, the immediate effect of increasing running speed on running cadence and ground reaction forces in experienced runners has not been well studied…”

Analysis of detonation wave effect in radial water coupling blasting by Yanbing WANG, Weiwen KONG, Dongchen WANG, Youyi SHEN, Ajian FENG, Yang LI, Wenhai ZHENG

“…As the water coupling coefficient increases, the pressure on the borehole wall first increases and then decreases, and the energy transfer efficiency first decreases, then increases and then decreases; Due to the presence of water medium, water coupled charge blasting can effectively extend the duration of shock wave action and improve energy transfer efficiency; Compared to the concentric water coupling charge form, the eccentric water coupling charge has a significant eccentric stress field, which can significantly increase the peak pressure of the hole wall on the coupling side, reduce the energy attenuation efficiency, and improve the energy utilization rate. …”

Confinement Determines Transport of a Reaction-Diffusion Active Matter Front by Nicolas Lobato-Dauzier, Ananyo Maitra, André Estevez-Torres, Jean-Christophe Galas

“…We then show how confinement impacts active matter flow: While changes in instantaneous flow velocities are small, correlation times are dramatically increased with decreasing confinement. As a result, RD-AM front speed increases up to eightfold compared to an RD one, in quantitative agreement with a conveyor-belt reaction-diffusion-advection theoretical model. …”
