Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to compare swing kinematic differences between women and men and investigate which variables predict clubhead speed (CHS) and carry distance (CD) whilst accounting for individual variation.
Methods: Swing kinematics and driver performance data were collected on 20 (10 women) elite golfers (HCP 0.7 ± 1.4). We used Bayesian T-test for between sex comparison of swing kinematics and Bayesian Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) to produce general linear models for CHS and carry distance for elite female and male golfers separately.
Results: There was strong evidence that the driver performance variables CHS and CD were decreased in women compared to men, and two kinematic variables; time to arm peak speed downswing and angular wrist peak speed were slower in women. The ANCOVAs identified very strong to overwhelming evidence that participant as a fixed factor was a determinant of CHS for both women and men but was not a determinant of CD.
Conclusion: when looking to enhance driver performance among high-level golfers, coaches should be aware that variables that determine CHS and CD differ among women and men and if the aim is to improve CHS coaches should not forget the importance of individual swing characteristics.

Tolerance to land-use changes through natural modulations of the plant microbiome.

Land-use changes threaten ecosystems and are a major driver of species loss. Plants may adapt or migrate to resist global change, but this can lag behind rapid anthropogenic changes to the environment. Our data show that natural modulations of the microbiome of grassland plants in response to experimental land-use change in a common garden directly affect plant phenotype and performance, thus increasing plant tolerance.

Beamforming technology using loudspeaker arrays is widely used in sound applications, but current sparse array design methods focus on optimizing a single beam for a single target direction, limiting their applicability to multi-channel sound systems. This paper presents a design method for sparse loudspeaker line arrays to generate wideband frequency-invariant beams in multiple target directions. A model based on tapped delay lines is developed and a two-stage design approach is proposed.

Structural network control principles provided novel and efficient clues for the optimization of personalized drug targets (PDTs) related to state transitions of individual patients. However, most existing methods focus on one subnetwork or module as drug targets through the identification of the minimal set of driver nodes and ignore the state transition capabilities of other modules with different configurations of drug targets [i.e.

Background and aim Etiopathogeneses of chronic rhinosinusitis are poorly understood. Recent research emphasizes culture-independent molecular sequencing to identify clusters of flora that may function as drivers of inflammation. Studies also indicate that macrolides are as effective as corticosteroids in controlling chronic rhinosinusitis.

This article presents a performance investigation of the range and state of electric charge vehicles based on different drive cycles and analyzed. Range anxiety is the major concern in electric vehicles globally. To mitigate the range anxiety issue by reducing the energy consumption in electric vehicles further reduces the range-related problem, and the state of charge reduces the demand for driver's power.
