Bayesian survival analysis of batsmen in Test cricket [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Cricketing knowledge tells us batting is more difficult early in a player's innings but becomes easier as a player familiarizes themselves with the conditions. In this paper, we develop a Bayesian survival analysis method to predict the Test Match batting abilities for international cricketers.

A Probabilistic Approach to Identifying Run Scoring Advantage in the Order of Playing Cricket [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 In the game of cricket, the result of coin toss is assumed to be one of the determinants of match outcome. The decision to bat first after winning the toss is often taken to make the best use of superior pitch conditions and set a big target for the opponent. However, the opponent may fail to show their natural batting performance in the second innings

Oblique Collisions of Baseballs and Softballs with a Bat [PDF]
, 2016 Experiments are done by colliding a swinging bat with a stationary baseball or softball. Each collision was recorded with high-speed cameras, from which the post-impact speed, launch angle, and spin of the ball could be determined. Initial bat speeds were in the range 63-88 mph, producing launch angles in the range 0$^\circ$-30$^\circ$ and spins in the

Ganglion-specific splicing of TRPV1 underlies infrared sensation in vampire bats. [PDF]
, 2011 Vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) are obligate blood feeders that have evolved specialized systems to suit their sanguinary lifestyle. Chief among such adaptations is the ability to detect infrared radiation as a means of locating hotspots on warm-blooded

Rapid and Reversible Morphing to Enable Multifunctionality in Robots
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This article introduces a rapid, reversible, and repeatable morphing robot through a bistable latch‐mediated, spring actuated (LaMSA) mechanism. This enables an untethered, multifunctional robot to near‐instantaneously (< 50 ms) and reversibly switch between a flying and driving configuration to navigate through different environments.

Cognitive flexibility in autism: Evidence from young autistic children
Autism Research, Volume 15, Issue 12, Page 2296-2309, December 2022., 2022 Abstract We examined the cognitive flexibility performance of young autistic children and a group of neurotypical peers. Thirty‐six autistic children (72–83 months) and 200 age‐matched typically‐developing children were assessed on the Children's Color Trails Test (CCTT), a semantic and a phonemic verbal fluency task.

Bats feed on crop pests in Sacramento Valley
California Agriculture, 1998 Food habits of Mexican free-tailed bats and Yuma myotis bats were examined in the Sacramento Valley. Analyses of guano samples indicated that Mexican free-tailed and Yuma myotis bats fed on moths, water boatmen, beetles, flies, midges ...

Risk for Rabies Transmission from Encounters with Bats, Colorado, 1977–1996
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1999 To assess the risk for rabies transmission to humans by bats, we analyzed the prevalence of rabies in bats that encountered humans from 1977 to 1996 and characterized the bat-human encounters. Rabies was diagnosed in 685 (15%) of 4,470 bats tested.

Parameter sensitivity analysis for different complexity land surface models using multicriteria methods [PDF]
, 2006 A multicriteria algorithm, the MultiObjective Generalized Sensitivity Analysis (MOGSA), was used to investigate the parameter sensitivity of five different land surface models with increasing levels of complexity in the physical representation of the ...
